5 | | |
6 | | Typically, there are five steps involved in upgrading to a newer version of Trac: |
7 | | |
8 | | === 1. Update the Trac Code === #UpdatetheTracCode |
9 | | |
10 | | Get the new version as described in TracInstall, or your operating system specific procedure. |
11 | | |
12 | | If you installed a recent 0.11 version of Trac via {{{easy_install}}}, it might be the easiest to use it also to upgrade you Trac installation. |
13 | | |
14 | | {{{ |
15 | | # easy_install --upgrade Trac |
16 | | }}} |
17 | | |
18 | | If you do a manual (not operating system specific) upgrade, you should also stop any running Trac server before the installation. Doing "hot" upgrades is not advised, especially not on Windows ([trac:ticket:7625 #7265]). |
19 | | |
20 | | You may also want to remove the pre-existing Trac code by deleting the `trac` directory from the Python `lib/site-packages` directory, or remove Trac .eggs from former versions. |
21 | | The location of the site-packages directory depends on the operating system, and the location in which Python was installed. However, the following locations are common: |
22 | | * on Linux: /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages |
23 | | * on Windows: C:\Python2.X\lib\site-packages |
24 | | * on MacOSX: /Library/Python/2.X/site-packages |
25 | | |
26 | | You may also want to remove the Trac `cgi-bin`, `htdocs`, `templates` and `wiki-default` directories that are commonly found in a directory called `share/trac` (the exact location depends on your platform). |
27 | | |
28 | | This cleanup is not mandatory, but it makes it easier to troubleshoot issues later on, as you won't waste your time looking at code or templates from a previous release that are not being used anymore... As usual, make a backup before actually deleting things. |
29 | | |
30 | | If you had the webadmin plugin installed, you can now uninstall it as it is now part of the Trac code base. |
31 | | |
32 | | === 2. Upgrade the Trac Environment === #UpgradetheTracEnvironment |
33 | | |
34 | | Environment upgrades are not necessary for minor version releases unless otherwise noted. |
35 | | |
36 | | After restarting, Trac should show the instances which need a manual upgrade via the automated upgrade scripts to ease the pain. These scripts are run via [TracAdmin trac-admin]: |
37 | | {{{ |
38 | | trac-admin /path/to/projenv upgrade |
39 | | }}} |
40 | | |
41 | | This command will do nothing if the environment is already up-to-date. |
42 | | |
43 | | Note that a backup of your database will be performed automatically prior to the upgrade. |
44 | | This feature is relatively new for the PostgreSQL or MySQL database backends, so if it fails, you will have to backup the database manually. Then, to perform the actual upgrade, run: |
45 | | {{{ |
46 | | trac-admin /path/to/projenv upgrade --no-backup |
47 | | }}} |
48 | | |
49 | | 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. |
50 | | |
51 | | === 3. Update the Trac Documentation === #UpdatetheTracDocumentation |
52 | | |
53 | | Every [TracEnvironment Trac environment] includes a copy of the Trac documentation for the installed version. As you probably want to keep the included documentation in sync with the installed version of Trac, [TracAdmin trac-admin] provides a command to upgrade the documentation: |
54 | | {{{ |
55 | | trac-admin /path/to/projenv wiki upgrade |
56 | | }}} |
57 | | |
58 | | Note that this procedure will of course leave your `WikiStart` page intact. |
59 | | |
60 | | === 4. Resynchronize the Trac Environment Against the Source Code Repository === |
61 | | |
62 | | Each [TracEnvironment Trac environment] must be resynchronized against the source code repository in order to avoid errors such as "[http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/6120 No changeset ??? in the repository]" while browsing the source through the Trac interface: |
63 | | |
64 | | {{{ |
65 | | trac-admin /path/to/projenv resync |
66 | | }}} |
67 | | |
68 | | === 5. Steps specific to a given Trac version === |
69 | | ==== Upgrading to Trac 0.11 ==== |
70 | | ===== Site Templates ===== |
71 | | The templating engine has changed in 0.11, please look at TracInterfaceCustomization for more information. |
72 | | |
73 | | ===== Trac Macros, Plugins ===== |
74 | | 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 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. |
75 | | |
76 | | ===== For FCGI/WSGI/CGI users ===== |
77 | | For those who run Trac under the CGI environment, run this command in order to obtain the trac.*gi file: |
78 | | {{{ |
79 | | trac-admin /path/to/env deploy /deploy/directory/path |
80 | | }}} |
81 | | |
82 | | This will create a deploy directory with the following two subdirectories: `cgi-bin` and `htdocs`. Then update your Apache configuration file `httpd.conf` with this new `trac.cgi` location and `htdocs` location. |
83 | | |
84 | | === 6. Restart the Web Server === #RestarttheWebServer |
85 | | |
86 | | If you are not running [wiki:TracCgi CGI], reload the new Trac code by restarting your web server. |
87 | | |
88 | | == Known Issues == |
89 | | |
90 | | === parent dir === |
91 | | If you use a trac parent env configuration and one of the plugins in one child does not work, none of the children work. |
92 | | |
93 | | === some core modules won't load === |
94 | | This can happen in particular with Python 2.3 on Windows when upgrading without uninstalling first. |
95 | | Some modules were previously capitalized and were changed to lower case, e.g. trac/About.py became trac/about.py. You may find such messages in the Trac log: |
96 | | {{{ |
97 | | ERROR: Skipping "trac.about = trac.about": (can't import "No module named about") |
98 | | }}} |
99 | | Remove the `Lib/site-packages/trac` folder and reinstall. |
100 | | |
101 | | === Wiki Upgrade === |
| 3 | [[PageOutline(2-4,,inline,unnumbered)]] |
| 4 | |
| 5 | == Instructions |
| 6 | |
| 7 | There are seven recommended steps for upgrading to a newer version of Trac: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | === 1. Check your plugins |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Check whether your plugins are compatible with the version of Trac that you are upgrading to. Obsolete plugins listed in the [#VersionSpecificSteps version specific steps] below should be uninstalled or disabled. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | If you are upgrading to a minor release, plugin compatibility is usually not a concern because the Trac API is normally unchanged. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | If your plugins are installed from [https://trac-hacks.org trac-hacks.org] you can check compatibility by looking for a tag on the project page corresponding to a major release (e.g. `1.4`). If you are unsure, you'll want to contact the plugin author or ask on the [trac:MailingList MailingList]. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | If you are running several Trac plugins it is good to test the upgrade and plugin functionality in a staging instance of your site before upgrading your production instance. Remember, plugin authors are responsible for Trac version compatibility and plugins can interact in unexpected ways. Your Trac instance may have a unique combination of plugins and therefore it's advised that you do some verification testing when making any changes to your site. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | === 2. Bring your server off-line |
| 20 | |
| 21 | 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]. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | 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. You may also wish to create a full backup of your server. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | === 3. Update Trac and dependencies #UpdatetheTracCode |
| 26 | |
| 27 | The packages are available through several channels, as described in [trac:TracDownload]. If your Trac instance was installed through an operating system package manager, proceed with the standard steps that are appropriate for your operating system package manager. If it was installed through a Windows installer, uninstall the old Trac package before installing new Trac package. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | If you are managing your Trac installation using command line tools, `pip` is the preferred tool to upgrade a Trac instance because it will uninstall the old version. The following command will upgrade your Trac installation using the package published to [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Trac PyPI]. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | {{{#!sh |
| 32 | $ pip install --upgrade Trac |
| 33 | }}} |
| 34 | |
| 35 | The upgrade command will give you the latest release of Trac. If instead you wish to upgrade to a different version, such as a minor release of Trac when there is a newer major release available, then specify the Trac version in the `pip` command. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | {{{#!sh |
| 38 | $ pip install --upgrade Trac==1.4.1 |
| 39 | }}} |
| 40 | |
| 41 | You should also upgrade dependencies so they are compliant with the [TracInstall#Dependencies required versions]. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | === 4. Upgrade the Trac Environment #UpgradetheTracEnvironment |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Environment upgrades are not necessary for minor version releases unless otherwise noted. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | On starting your web server after upgrading Trac, a message will be displayed for projects that need to be upgraded and the projects will not be accessible until the upgrade is run. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | The upgrade is run using a [TracAdmin trac-admin] command: |
| 50 | {{{#!sh |
| 51 | $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv upgrade |
| 52 | }}} |
| 53 | |
| 54 | This command will not have any effect if the environment is already up-to-date. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | It is recommended that you set the [[TracIni#logging-log_level-option|log_level]] to `INFO` before running the upgrade. The additional information in the logs can be helpful in case something unexpected occurs during the upgrade. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | Note that a backup of your database will be performed automatically prior to the upgrade. The backup is saved in the location specified by [[TracIni#trac-backup_dir-option|backup_dir]]. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | === 5. Update the Trac Documentation === #UpdatetheTracDocumentation |
| 61 | |
| 62 | By default, every [TracEnvironment Trac environment] includes a copy of the Trac documentation for the installed version. To keep the documentation in sync with the installed version of Trac, upgrade the documentation: |
| 63 | {{{#!sh |
| 64 | $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv wiki upgrade |
| 65 | }}} |
| 66 | |
| 67 | Note that this procedure will leave your `WikiStart`, `InterMapTxt` and `SandBox` pages unaltered. Local changes to other pages that are distributed with Trac will be overwritten, however these pages are read-only by default for Environments created in Trac 1.3.3 and later. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | === 6. Refresh static resources |
| 70 | |
| 71 | If you have configured your web server to serve static resources directly (accessed using the `/chrome/` URL) then you will need to refresh them using the [TracInstall#MappingStaticResources deploy command]. The `deploy` command will extract static resources and CGI scripts (`trac.wsgi`, etc) from the new Trac version and plugins into `/deploy/path`. |
| 72 | {{{#!sh |
| 73 | $ trac-admin /path/to/env deploy /deploy/path |
| 74 | }}} |
| 75 | |
| 76 | Before refreshing, it is recommended that you remove the directory in which your static resources are deployed. The directory location depends on the choice you made during installation. This cleanup is not mandatory, but makes it easier to troubleshoot issues as your installation is uncluttered by unused assets from a previous release. As usual, make a backup before deleting the directory. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | {{{#!div style="border: 1pt dotted; margin: 1em" |
| 79 | **Note:** Some web browsers (IE, Opera) cache CSS and !JavaScript files, so you should instruct your users to manually erase the contents of their browser's cache. A forced refreshed (SHIFT + <F5>) should be sufficient. |
| 80 | {{{#!comment |
| 81 | Remove above note once #9936 is fixed. |
| 82 | }}} |
| 83 | }}} |
| 84 | |
| 85 | === 7. Steps specific to a given Trac version #VersionSpecificSteps |
| 86 | |
| 87 | ==== Upgrading from Trac 1.4 to 1.5 #to1.5 |
| 88 | |
| 89 | ===== Python 2.7 no longer supported |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Upgrade Python to 3.5 or later. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | ==== Upgrading from Trac 1.2 to 1.4 #to1.4 |
| 94 | |
| 95 | ===== Python 2.6 no longer supported |
| 96 | |
| 97 | Upgrade Python to 2.7, but not 3.0 or greater. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | ===== MySQL-python no longer supported |
| 100 | |
| 101 | [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyMySQL PyMySQL] is the supported MySQL database library, support for [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python MySQL-python] has been removed. |
| 102 | |
| 103 | ===== Obsolete Plugins |
| 104 | |
| 105 | Trac has added functionality equivalent to the following plugins: |
| 106 | |
| 107 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/DynamicVariablesPlugin DynamicVariablesPlugin]: dynamic variables are autocompleted |
| 108 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/NavAddPlugin NavAddPlugin]: see TracNavigation |
| 109 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/FlexibleAssignToPlugin FlexibleAssignToPlugin]: subclass `ConfigurableTicketWorkflow` and override `get_allowed_owners` |
| 110 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TracMigratePlugin TracMigratePlugin]: Use the `trac-admin` [TracAdmin#ChangingDatabaseBackend convert_db command] |
| 111 | |
| 112 | The plugins should be removed when upgrading Trac to 1.4. |
| 113 | |
| 114 | ===== Jinja2 is the new template engine |
| 115 | |
| 116 | Content is now generated by using the Jinja2 template |
| 117 | engine. You should verify that your plugins are |
| 118 | compatible with this change. |
| 119 | |
| 120 | If you customized the Trac templates, or the `site.html` |
| 121 | template, you'll need to adapt that as well. |
| 122 | (TODO: expand...) See [#CustomizedTemplates]. Email [TracNotification#CustomizingContent notification templates] also need to |
| 123 | be adapted. |
| 124 | |
| 125 | ===== New permission policies for Wiki and Ticket realms |
| 126 | |
| 127 | Since 1.3.2 there are new permission policies for the ticket and wiki systems. `DefaultTicketPolicy` allows an authenticated user with `TICKET_APPEND` or `TICKET_CHPROP` to modify the description of a ticket they reported. It also implements the pre-1.3.2 behavior of allowing users to edit their own ticket comments. [#Newpermissionspolicyforread-onlywikipages ReadonlyWikiPolicy], added in 1.1.2, is renamed to `DefaultWikiPolicy`. The new permission policies can be easily replaced with alternate implementations if the default behavior is not desired. |
| 128 | |
| 129 | If `[trac] permission_policy` has the default value `ReadonlyWikiPolicy, DefaultPermissionPolicy, LegacyAttachmentPolicy`, then `DefaultWikiPolicy, DefaultTicketPolicy` should be automatically appended to the list when upgrading the environment: |
| 130 | {{{#!ini |
| 131 | [trac] |
| 132 | permission_policies = DefaultWikiPolicy, |
| 133 | DefaultTicketPolicy, |
| 134 | DefaultPermissionPolicy, |
| 135 | LegacyAttachmentPolicy |
| 136 | }}} |
| 137 | |
| 138 | If other permission policies are enabled, `trac.ini` will need to be edited to add `DefaultWikiPolicy, DefaultTicketPolicy` to `permission_policies`. See [wiki:TracFineGrainedPermissions#DefaultWikiPolicyandDefaultTicketPolicy] for additional details on the proper ordering. |
| 139 | |
| 140 | ===== Description field added to ticket enums #enum-description-field |
| 141 | |
| 142 | The ticket enums now have a //description// field. An //ambiguous column name// error may be seen for reports that reference the `description` column of another table and join the `enum` table with that table (e.g. `ticket`, `component`). The reports {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, {7}, and {8} are modified by an upgrade step to fix the issue, but the modification may not succeed if the default reports have been modified, in which case `upgrade` will output a message to the terminal instructing the user to modify the reports. User-created reports may also need to be modified. |
| 143 | |
| 144 | Reports that display the error need to be modified to prefix the `description` column with the appropriate table name or alias. For example, if the `ticket` table is aliased as `t` (`ticket t` or `ticket AS t`), replace `description` with `t.description` if the report should use the ticket's `description` column. |
| 145 | |
| 146 | ===== Removed `<repostype>` and `<repospath>` arguments from `trac-admin` `initenv` command |
| 147 | |
| 148 | The TracAdmin `initenv` command allowed the default repository to be specified using the third and fourth positional arguments of `initenv`: |
| 149 | {{{#!sh |
| 150 | initenv [<projectname> <db> [<repostype> <repospath>]] |
| 151 | }}} |
| 152 | |
| 153 | The arguments were an artifact of Trac < 0.12, which only supported a single repository. Trac 0.12 and later supports multiple repositories, which can be specified at the time of environment creation using the `--inherit` and `--config` arguments. See the [TracEnvironment#SourceCodeRepository initenv documentation] for details on specifying source code repositories. |
| 154 | |
| 155 | ==== Upgrading from Trac 1.0 to 1.2 #to1.2 |
| 156 | |
| 157 | ===== Python 2.5 no longer supported |
| 158 | |
| 159 | Upgrade Python to at least 2.6 or 2.7, but not 3.0 or greater. |
| 160 | |
| 161 | ===== Obsolete Plugins |
| 162 | |
| 163 | Trac has added functionality equivalent to the following plugins: |
| 164 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AdminEnumListPlugin AdminEnumListPlugin] |
| 165 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AttachmentNotifyPlugin AttachmentNotifyPlugin]: attachment notifications are sent in Trac 1.0.3 and later |
| 166 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/DateFieldPlugin DateFieldPlugin]: see the **time** [TracTicketsCustomFields#AvailableFieldTypesandOptions custom field type] |
| 167 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/FlexibleReporterNotificationPlugin FlexibleReporterNotificationPlugin]: [trac:CookBook/Notification/Subscriptions custom subscribers] can be implemented in the new extensible notification system |
| 168 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GroupBasedRedirectionPlugin GroupBasedRedirectionPlugin]: the default handler can set as a user preference |
| 169 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GroupingAssignToPlugin GroupingAssignToPlugin]: groups and permissions can be used in the [TracWorkflow#BasicTicketWorkflowCustomization set_owner] workflow attribute |
| 170 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/LinenoMacro LinenoMacro]: see WikiProcessors#AvailableProcessors |
| 171 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/NeverNotifyUpdaterPlugin NeverNotifyUpdaterPlugin]: see [TracNotification#notification-subscriber-section notification subscribers] |
| 172 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/QueryUiAssistPlugin QueryUiAssistPlugin]: see TracQuery#Filters. |
| 173 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketCreationStatusPlugin TicketCreationStatusPlugin]: see [#NewWorkflowActions] |
| 174 | |
| 175 | The plugins should be removed when upgrading Trac to 1.2. |
| 176 | |
| 177 | ===== New workflow actions #NewWorkflowActions |
| 178 | |
| 179 | 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. |
| 180 | |
| 181 | ===== New permissions policy for read-only wiki pages |
| 182 | |
| 183 | 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: |
| 184 | {{{#!ini |
| 185 | [trac] |
| 186 | permission_policies = ReadonlyWikiPolicy, |
| 187 | DefaultPermissionPolicy, |
| 188 | LegacyAttachmentPolicy |
| 189 | }}} |
| 190 | |
| 191 | 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. |
| 192 | |
| 193 | ===== Navigation Ordering Moved |
| 194 | |
| 195 | The mainnav and metanav configuration ordering have |
| 196 | been moved from `[trac]` `mainnav` and `[trac]` `metanav` to the `[mainnav]` and `[metanav]` sections. The ordering is now specified using the `order` attribute as described in [TracNavigation#nav-order TracNavigation]. |
| 197 | |
| 198 | The new configuration values will be written to trac.ini on upgrade, preserving the navigation order for the environment. You may need to edit trac.ini |
| 199 | if you use a shared [TracIni#GlobalConfiguration global configuration]. |
| 200 | For example, if you wish to specify the navigation ordering for several environments in `global.ini`, you'll |
| 201 | need to add the `[mainnav]` and `[metanav]` sections |
| 202 | in that file and delete those sections from each |
| 203 | environment's trac.ini. |
| 204 | |
| 205 | ==== Upgrading from Trac 0.12 to Trac 1.0 #to1.0 |
| 206 | |
| 207 | ===== Python 2.4 no longer supported |
| 208 | |
| 209 | Upgrade Python to at least 2.5, but not 3.0. |
| 210 | |
| 211 | ===== Obsolete Plugins |
| 212 | |
| 213 | Trac has added functionality equivalent to the following plugins: |
| 214 | |
| 215 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AnchorMacro AnchorMacro] |
| 216 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/BatchModifyPlugin BatchModifyPlugin] |
| 217 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GitPlugin GitPlugin] |
| 218 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/OverrideEditPlugin OverrideEditPlugin] |
| 219 | * [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/ProgressMeterMacro ProgressMeterMacro] |
| 220 | |
| 221 | The plugins should be removed when upgrading Trac to 1.0. |
| 222 | |
| 223 | ===== Subversion components not enabled by default for new installations |
| 224 | |
| 225 | 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: |
| 226 | {{{#!ini |
| 227 | [components] |
| 228 | tracopt.versioncontrol.svn.* = enabled |
| 229 | }}} |
| 230 | |
| 231 | The upgrade procedure should take care of this and change the TracIni appropriately, unless you already had the svn components explicitly disabled. |
| 232 | |
| 233 | ===== Attachments migrated to new location #AttachmentsMigrated |
| 234 | |
| 235 | Another step in the automatic upgrade will change the way the attachments are stored. There have been reports that the attachment migration [#AttachmentsNotMigrated sometimes fails], so it's extra important that you [TracBackup backup your environment]. |
| 236 | |
| 237 | In case the `attachments` directory contains some files which are //not// attachments, the last step of the migration to the new layout will not be completed: 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. |
| 238 | |
| 239 | ===== Behavior of `[ticket] default_owner` changed |
| 240 | |
| 241 | 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. |
| 242 | |
| 243 | ===== Behavior of `* -> *` workflow transition |
| 244 | |
| 245 | The workflow transition `* -> *` must have the operation |
| 246 | `leave_status`. Due to a defect in Trac < 1.0.18 |
| 247 | `leave_status` was not required, so it may be necessary |
| 248 | to add the operation when upgrading. The action will not |
| 249 | display for a `* -> *` transition if the action does |
| 250 | not have the `leave_status` operation. |
| 251 | |
| 252 | ==== Upgrading from older versions of Trac #OlderVersions |

| 262 | Trac supports customization of its 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 customize the templates, be aware that you will need to repeat your changes on a copy of the new templates when you upgrade to a new release of Trac (even a minor one), as the templates will evolve. So keep a diff around. |
| 263 | |
| 264 | The preferred way to perform TracInterfaceCustomization is a custom plugin doing client-side !JavaScript transformation of the generated output, as this is more robust in case of changes: we usually won't modify an element `id` or change its CSS `class`, and if we have to do so, this will be documented in the [trac:TracDev/ApiChanges] pages. |

| 266 | === !ZipImportError |
| 267 | |
| 268 | 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 to anticipate and bring your server down for maintenance before upgrading. |
