Upgrading

			




	
	
	
		
 
=========

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
This section covers the necessary upgrade steps between different

			




	
	
	
		
 
versions.

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
In general, it is always useful to go thorugh the release notes to

			




	
	
	
		
 
ensure there no surprises are encountered during the upgrade.

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
Upgrading from one **patch version** to another (e.g. ``0.3.0`` to

			




	
	
	
		
 
``0.3.1``) should be safe, and should not require any additional steps

			




	
	
	
		
 
beyond installing new package version. Patch versions include only bug

			




	
	
	
		
 
and security-related fixes.

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
Upgrading from one **minor version** to another (e.g. ``0.2.0`` to

			




	
	
	
		
 
``0.3.0`` might require some small maintenance tasks, such as running

			




	
	
	
		
 
migrations, or refreshing the static files. In general no breaking

			




	
	
	
		
 
changes should be introduced, and downtime should be minimal.

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
Upgrading from one **major version** to another (e.g. ``0.3.1`` to

			




	
	
	
		
 
``1.0.0``) is likely to require a number of changes, and you should

			




	
	
	
		
 
make sure to review both the release notes, and any other documented

			




	
	
	
		
 
instructions outlined below.

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
Major version upgrades should be performed only for supported upgrade

			




	
	
	
		
 
paths. This usually means bringing your current installation to the

			




	
	
	
		
 
latest minor release version before jumping to the next major

			




	
	
	
		
 
release. Should you need to jump multiple versions, do it one step at

			




	
	
	
		
 
a time, following along with any necessary changes. Currently

			




	
	
	
		
 
supported upgrade paths are:

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
- From version ``0.3.x`` to version ``1.0.x``.

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
Upgrading from ``0.3.x`` to ``1.0.x``

			




	
	
	
		
 
-------------------------------------

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
Version ``1.0.x`` brings in a lot of changes related to dependency

			




	
	
	
		
 
upgrades. This is a big step in terms of Django versions (from Django

			




	
	
	
		
 
1.5.x to Django 1.11.x), with application functionality itself left

			




	
	
	
		
 
untouched.

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
In particular, since support for Django 1.5.x has been dropped, you

			




	
	
	
		
 
will need to upgrade your project to Django 1.11.x. Depending on your

			




	
	
	
		
 
project customisations, it may be easier to start a new project and

			




	
	
	
		
 
move over any relevant configuration to it.

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
For *Django Conntrackt* itself, at least the following changes must be

			




	
	
	
		
 
made:

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
- Removing ``south`` from list of installed applications in project

			




	
	
	
		
 
  settings. *Django Conntrackt* now utilises the native migrations.

			




	
	
	
		
 
- Run database migrations with::

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
    python manage.py migrate

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
- Ensure static data served by external server are up-to-date with::

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
    python manage.py collectstatic
