Migration notes

Release 5.2.0 does not itself require updating the Neo4j plugin for SECollab when installed over release 5.1.0.

Yet, release 5.2.0 does require updating the Neo4j plugin for SECollab when installed over release 5.0.2.

Migrating from version 5.0.x requires installing PostgreSQL. We strongly recommend using PostgreSQL 17.4, bundled with SECollab. Still, PostgreSQL 16.x has been confirmed to work. Once installed, the secollab.xml file in the Tomcat server must be edited with the below new lines: 

<Parameter name="mdw.server.postgresql.user" value="<your PostgreSQL username>" override="1"/>
<Parameter name="mdw.server.postgresql.password" value="<the corresponding PostgreSQL password>" override="1"/>
<Parameter name="mdw.server.postgresql.uri" value="<uri to the PostgreSQL server>" override="1"/>
<Parameter name="clm.server.baseUrl" value="<uri to the tomcat server>" override="1"/>

Upgrading from version 5.0.x also requires a migration. Before this migration, stop the Tomcat service, then the Neo4j service, then backup the following:

Finally, follow the instructions in section Updating SECollab. This release requires updating the application's WAR file and the Neo4j plugin.
