| 14 | | |
| 15 | | Get the new version as described in TracInstall, or your operating system specific procedure. |
| 16 | | |
| 17 | | If you already have a 0.11 version of Trac installed via `easy_install`, it might be easiest to also use `easy_install` to upgrade your Trac installation: |
| 18 | | |
| 19 | | {{{ |
| 20 | | # easy_install --upgrade Trac==0.12 |
| 21 | | }}} |
| 22 | | |
| 23 | | If you do a manual (not operating system-specific) upgrade, you should also stop any running Trac servers before the installation. Doing "hot" upgrades is not advised, especially on Windows ([trac:#7265]). |
| | 11 | It is not a good idea to update a running server: the server processes may have parts of the current packages cached in memory, and updating the code will likely trigger [#ZipImportError internal errors]. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | Although a database backup will be implicitly created by default when upgrading the environment, it is always a good idea to perform a full backup of the environment using the [TracBackup hotcopy] command before beginning. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | === 2. Update the Trac Code #UpdatetheTracCode |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | Get the new version as described in TracInstall, or through your operating system package manager. |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | If you already an earlier version of Trac installed via `easy_install`, it might be easiest to also use `easy_install` to upgrade your Trac installation: |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | {{{#!sh |
| | 22 | easy_install --upgrade Trac==1.2 |
| | 23 | }}} |
| 75 | | === 6. Steps specific to a given Trac version === |
| 76 | | ==== Upgrading from Trac 0.11 to Trac 0.12 ==== |
| 77 | | |
| 78 | | ===== Python 2.3 no longer supported ===== |
| 79 | | The minimum supported version of python is now 2.4 |
| 80 | | |
| 81 | | ===== SQLite v3.x required ===== |
| | 73 | === 6. Steps specific to a given Trac version |
| | 74 | |
| | 75 | ==== Upgrading from Trac 1.0 to 1.2 #to1.2 |
| | 76 | |
| | 77 | ===== Python 2.5 no longer supported |
| | 78 | |
| | 79 | Upgrade Python to at least 2.6 or 2.7, but not 3.0 or greater. |
| | 80 | |
| | 81 | ===== Obsolete Plugins |
| | 82 | |
| | 83 | Trac has added functionality equivalent to the following plugins: |
| | 84 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AdminEnumListPlugin AdminEnumListPlugin] |
| | 85 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/DateFieldPlugin DateFieldPlugin]: see the **time** [TracTicketsCustomFields#AvailableFieldTypesandOptions custom field type] |
| | 86 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GroupBasedRedirectionPlugin GroupBasedRedirectionPlugin]: the default handler can set as a user preference. |
| | 87 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/LinenoMacro LinenoMacro]: see WikiProcessors#AvailableProcessors |
| | 88 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/NeverNotifyUpdaterPlugin NeverNotifyUpdaterPlugin]: see [TracNotification#notification-subscriber-section notification subscribers] |
| | 89 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/QueryUiAssistPlugin QueryUiAssistPlugin]: see TracQuery#Filters. |
| | 90 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketCreationStatusPlugin TicketCreationStatusPlugin]: see [#NewWorkflowActions] |
| | 91 | |
| | 92 | The plugins should be removed when upgrading Trac to 1.2. |
| | 93 | |
| | 94 | ===== New workflow actions #NewWorkflowActions |
| | 95 | |
| | 96 | The ticket creation step is controlled with a workflow action. The default workflow has `create` and `create_and_assign` actions. The `create` action will always be added when upgrading the database. The `create_and_assign` action will be added if the workflow has an //assigned// state. You may want to edit your workflow after upgrading the database to customize the actions available on the //New Ticket// page. |
| | 97 | |
| | 98 | ===== New permissions policy for read-only wiki pages |
| | 99 | |
| | 100 | Since 1.1.2 the read-only attribute of wiki pages is enabled and enforced only when `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` is in the list of active permission policies. If `[trac] permission_policy` has the default value `DefaultPermissionPolicy, LegacyAttachmentPolicy`, then `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` should be automatically appended to the list when upgrading the environment: |
| | 101 | {{{#!ini |
| | 102 | [trac] |
| | 103 | permission_policies = ReadonlyWikiPolicy, |
| | 104 | DefaultPermissionPolicy, |
| | 105 | LegacyAttachmentPolicy |
| | 106 | }}} |
| | 107 | |
| | 108 | If other permission policies are enabled, `trac.ini` will need to have `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` appended to the list of active `permission_policies`. See TracFineGrainedPermissions#ReadonlyWikiPolicy for additional details on the proper ordering. |
| | 109 | |
| | 110 | ==== Upgrading from Trac 0.12 to Trac 1.0 #to1.0 |
| | 111 | |
| | 112 | ===== Python 2.4 no longer supported |
| | 113 | |
| | 114 | Upgrade Python to at least 2.5, but not 3.0. |
| | 115 | |
| | 116 | ===== Obsolete Plugins |
| | 117 | |
| | 118 | Trac has added functionality equivalent to the following plugins: |
| | 119 | |
| | 120 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/BatchModifyPlugin BatchModifyPlugin] |
| | 121 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GitPlugin GitPlugin] |
| | 122 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/OverrideEditPlugin OverrideEditPlugin] |
| | 123 | |
| | 124 | The plugins should be removed when upgrading Trac to 1.0. |
| | 125 | |
| | 126 | ===== Subversion components not enabled by default for new installations |
| | 127 | |
| | 128 | The Trac components for Subversion support are no longer enabled by default. To enable the svn support, you need to make sure the `tracopt.versioncontrol.svn` components are enabled, for example by setting the following in the TracIni: |
| | 129 | {{{#!ini |
| | 130 | [components] |
| | 131 | tracopt.versioncontrol.svn.* = enabled |
| | 132 | }}} |
| | 133 | |
| | 134 | The upgrade procedure should take care of this and change the TracIni appropriately, unless you already had the svn components explicitly disabled. |
| | 135 | |
| | 136 | ===== Attachments migrated to new location |
| | 137 | |
| | 138 | Another step in the automatic upgrade will change the way the attachments are stored. Create a backup of the `attachments` directory before upgrading. In case the `attachments` directory contains some files which are //not// attachments, the last step of the migration to the new layout will fail: the deletion of the now unused `attachments` directory can't be done if there are still files and folders in it. You may ignore this error, but better to move them elsewhere and remove the `attachments` directory manually. The attachments themselves are now all located in your environment below the `files/attachments` directory. |
| | 139 | |
| | 140 | ===== Behavior of `[ticket] default_owner` changed |
| | 141 | |
| | 142 | Prior to 1.0, the owner field of new tickets always defaulted to `[ticket] default_owner` when the value was not empty. If the value was empty, the owner field defaulted to to the Component's owner. In 1.0 and later, the `default_owner` must be set to `< default >` to make new tickets default to the Component's owner. This change allows the `default_owner` to be set to an empty value if no default owner is desired. |
| | 143 | |
| | 144 | ==== Upgrading from Trac 0.11 to Trac 0.12 |
| | 145 | |
| | 146 | ===== Python 2.3 no longer supported |
| | 147 | |
| | 148 | The minimum supported version of Python is now 2.4. |
| | 149 | |
| | 150 | ===== SQLite v3.x required |
| | 151 | |
| 84 | | ===== PySqlite 2 required ===== |
| 85 | | PySqlite 1.1.x is no longer supported. Please install 2.5.5 or later if possible (see [#Tracdatabaseupgrade Trac database upgrade] below). |
| 86 | | |
| 87 | | ===== Multiple Repository Support ===== |
| | 154 | ===== [trac:PySqlite] 2 required |
| | 155 | |
| | 156 | [trac:PySqlite] 1.1.x is no longer supported. Please install 2.5.5 or later if possible, see [#Tracdatabaseupgrade Trac database upgrade] below. |
| | 157 | |
| | 158 | ===== Obsolete Plugins |
| | 159 | |
| | 160 | Trac has added functionality equivalent to the following plugins: |
| | 161 | |
| | 162 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AutoQueryPlugin AutoQueryPlugin] |
| | 163 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AdminConsoleProviderPatch AdminConsoleProviderPatch] |

| | 165 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketChangePlugin TicketChangePlugin]: see [TracPermissions#TicketSystem TICKET_EDIT_COMMENT permission] |
| | 166 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketDeletePlugin TicketDeletePlugin]: see `tracopt.ticket.deleter` |
| | 167 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/SubversionLocationPlugin SubversionLocationPlugin]: see TracRepositoryAdmin#Repositories |
| | 168 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/WikiCreoleRendererPlugin WikiCreoleRendererPlugin]: see [trac:WikiCreole] |
| | 169 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/RepoRevisionSyntaxPlugin RepoRevisionSyntaxPlugin] (added in 0.12.1) |
| | 170 | |
| | 171 | The plugins should be removed when upgrading Trac to 0.12. |
| | 172 | |
| | 173 | ===== Multiple Repository Support |
| | 174 | |
| 105 | | Note that if you were using the `trac-post-commit-hook`, ''you're strongly advised to upgrade it'' to the new hook documented in the above references, as the old hook will not work with anything else than the default repository and even for this case, it won't trigger the appropriate notifications. |
| 106 | | |
| 107 | | ===== Authz permission checking ===== |
| 108 | | The authz permission checking has been migrated to a fine-grained permission policy. If you use authz permissions (aka `[trac] authz_file` and `authz_module_name`), you must add `AuthzSourcePolicy` in front of your permission policies in `[trac] permission_policies`. You must also remove `BROWSER_VIEW`, `CHANGESET_VIEW`, `FILE_VIEW` and `LOG_VIEW` from your global permissions (with `trac-admin $ENV permission remove` or the "Permissions" admin panel). |
| 109 | | |
| 110 | | ===== Microsecond timestamps ===== |
| 111 | | All timestamps in database tables (except the `session` table) have been changed from "seconds since epoch" to "microseconds since epoch" values. This change should be transparent to most users, except for custom reports. If any of your reports use date/time columns in calculations (e.g. to pass them to `datetime()`), you must divide the values retrieved from the database by 1'000'000. Similarly, if a report provides a calculated value to be displayed as a date/time (i.e. with a column named "time", "datetime", "changetime", "date", "created" or "modified"), you must provide a microsecond timestamp, that is, multiply your previous calculation with 1'000'000. |
| 112 | | |
| 113 | | ==== Upgrading from Trac 0.10 to Trac 0.11 ==== |
| 114 | | ===== Site Templates and Styles ===== |
| | 193 | Note that if you were using the `trac-post-commit-hook`, ''you're strongly advised to upgrade it'' to the new hook documented in the above references and [TracWorkflow#Howtocombinethetracopt.ticket.commit_updaterwiththetestingworkflow here], as the old hook will not work with anything else than the default repository and even for this case, it won't trigger the appropriate notifications. |
| | 194 | |
| | 195 | ===== Authz permission checking |
| | 196 | |
| | 197 | The authz permission checking has been migrated to a fine-grained permission policy. If you use authz permissions (aka `[trac] authz_file` and `authz_module_name`), you must add `AuthzSourcePolicy` in front of your permission policies in `[trac] permission_policies`. You must also remove `BROWSER_VIEW`, `CHANGESET_VIEW`, `FILE_VIEW` and `LOG_VIEW` from your global permissions with `trac-admin $ENV permission remove` or the "Permissions" admin panel. |
| | 198 | |
| | 199 | ===== Microsecond timestamps |
| | 200 | |
| | 201 | All timestamps in database tables, except the `session` table, have been changed from "seconds since epoch" to "microseconds since epoch" values. This change should be transparent to most users, except for custom reports. If any of your reports use date/time columns in calculations (e.g. to pass them to `datetime()`), you must divide the values retrieved from the database by 1'000'000. Similarly, if a report provides a calculated value to be displayed as a date/time (i.e. with a column named "time", "datetime", "changetime", "date", "created" or "modified"), you must provide a microsecond timestamp, that is, multiply your previous calculation with 1'000'000. |
| | 202 | |
| | 203 | ==== Upgrading from Trac 0.10 to Trac 0.11 |
| | 204 | |
| | 205 | ===== Site Templates and Styles |
| | 206 | |
| 117 | | If you are using custom CSS styles or modified templates in the `templates` directory of the TracEnvironment, you will need to convert them to the Genshi way of doing things. To continue to use your style sheet, follow the instructions at TracInterfaceCustomization#SiteAppearance. |
| 118 | | |
| 119 | | ===== Trac Macros, Plugins ===== |
| 120 | | The Trac macros will need to be adapted, as the old-style wiki-macros are not supported anymore (due to the drop of [trac:ClearSilver] and the HDF); they need to be converted to the new-style macros, see WikiMacros. When they are converted to the new style, they need to be placed into the plugins directory instead and not wiki-macros, which is no longer scanned for macros or plugins. |
| 121 | | |
| 122 | | ===== For FCGI/WSGI/CGI users ===== |
| | 209 | If you are using custom CSS or modified templates in the `templates` directory of the TracEnvironment, you will need to convert them to the Genshi way of doing things. To continue to use your style sheet, follow the instructions at TracInterfaceCustomization#SiteAppearance. |
| | 210 | |
| | 211 | ===== Trac Macros, Plugins |
| | 212 | |

| | 214 | |
| | 215 | ===== For FCGI/WSGI/CGI users |
| | 216 | |
| 130 | | ===== Web Admin plugin integrated ===== |
| 131 | | If you had the webadmin plugin installed, you can uninstall it as it is part of the Trac code base since 0.11. |
| 132 | | |
| 133 | | === 7. Restart the Web Server === #RestarttheWebServer |
| | 224 | ===== Web Admin plugin integrated |
| | 225 | |
| | 226 | If you had the [trac:WebAdmin] plugin installed, you can uninstall it as it is part of the Trac code base since 0.11. |
| | 227 | |
| | 228 | ===== New Default Configurable Workflow |
| | 229 | |
| | 230 | When you run `trac-admin <env> upgrade`, your `trac.ini` will be modified to include a `[ticket-workflow]` section. The workflow configured in this case is the original workflow, so that ticket actions will behave like they did in 0.10: |
| | 231 | |
| | 232 | {{{#!Workflow width=500 height=240 |
| | 233 | leave = * -> * |
| | 234 | leave.operations = leave_status |
| | 235 | leave.default = 1 |
| | 236 | accept = new -> assigned |
| | 237 | accept.permissions = TICKET_MODIFY |
| | 238 | accept.operations = set_owner_to_self |
| | 239 | resolve = new,assigned,reopened -> closed |
| | 240 | resolve.permissions = TICKET_MODIFY |
| | 241 | resolve.operations = set_resolution |
| | 242 | reassign = new,assigned,reopened -> new |
| | 243 | reassign.permissions = TICKET_MODIFY |
| | 244 | reassign.operations = set_owner |
| | 245 | reopen = closed -> reopened |
| | 246 | reopen.permissions = TICKET_CREATE |
| | 247 | reopen.operations = del_resolution |
| | 248 | }}} |
| | 249 | |
| | 250 | There are some significant caveats in this, such as accepting a ticket sets it to 'assigned' state, and assigning a ticket sets it to 'new' state. So you will probably want to migrate to "basic" workflow; [trac:source:trunk/contrib/workflow/migrate_original_to_basic.py contrib/workflow/migrate_original_to_basic.py] may be helpful. See TracWorkflow for a detailed description of the new basic workflow. |
| | 251 | |
| | 252 | === 7. Restart the Web Server #RestarttheWebServer |
| 143 | | Trac supports customization of its Genshi templates by placing copies of the templates in the `<env>/templates` folder of your [TracEnvironment environment] or in a common location specified in the [[TracIni#GlobalConfiguration| [inherit] templates_dir]] configuration setting. If you choose to do so, be wary that you will need to repeat your changes manually on a copy of the new templates when you upgrade to a new release of Trac (even a minor one), as the templates will likely evolve. So keep a diff around ;-) |
| 144 | | |
| 145 | | The preferred way to perform TracInterfaceCustomization is to write a custom plugin doing an appropriate `ITemplateStreamFilter` transformation, as this is more robust in case of changes: we usually won't modify element `id`s or change CSS `class`es, and if we have to do so, this will be documented in the TracDev/ApiChanges pages. |
| 146 | | |
| 147 | | === !ZipImportError === |
| 148 | | |
| 149 | | Due to internal caching of zipped packages, whenever the content of the packages change on disk, the in-memory zip index will no longer match and you'll get irrecoverable !ZipImportError errors. Better anticipate and bring your server down for maintenance before upgrading. |

| 164 | | === Upgrading Python === |
| 165 | | |
| 166 | | Upgrading Python to a newer version will require reinstallation of Python packages: Trac of course; also [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools easy_install], if you've been using that. Assuming you're using Subversion, you'll also need to upgrade the Python bindings for svn. |
| 167 | | |
| 168 | | ==== Windows and Python 2.6 ==== |
| 169 | | |
| 170 | | If you've been using !CollabNet's Subversion package, you may need to uninstall that in favor of [http://alagazam.net/ Alagazam], which has the Python bindings readily available (see TracSubversion). The good news is, that works with no tweaking. |
