Upgrade Instructions 8.1 → 8.2

By using composer, you can update an existing installation to a specific version, without having to create a new project.

For further information on what changed, please take a look at the changelogs (Neos, Flow)

#Update Instructions

Before making substantial changes, make sure you create a backup of the database and files!

cd /installation-root/
# Update the core package dependencies
composer require --no-update "neos/neos:~8.2.0"
composer require --no-update "neos/neos-ui:~8.2.0"

# Update optional package dependencies (if installed)
composer require --no-update "neos/demo:~8.2.0"

If you have development packages in your composer manifest, update them to match as well:

# Update development packages (if installed)
composer require --no-update --dev "neos/buildessentials:~8.2.0"

To upgrade your package to the latest version of the Neos UI, please follow these steps:

Open your package's package.json file of your extending package.
Update the version number for @neos-project/neos-ui-extensibility to ^8.2.0.
Add the following line to your dependencies: "@neos-project/build-essentials": "^8.2.0"
Save the file and close it.
Run npm install or yarn to install the updated dependencies.

After completing these steps, your package should be upgraded to the latest version of the Neos UI and ready to use. Thank you for using the Neos project!

#Breaking changes

With this minor release, no breaking changes were introduced.

#Finish the update

# Update the packages
composer update

# Flush the caches
./flow flow:cache:flush --force
./flow flow:session:destroyAll

# Run code migrations, as needed for any packages that need to be
# migrated. Rule of thumb:
#
# - any 3rd party packages that still install fine at least claim
#   to work, and should be updated by their maintainer(s).
# - your own packages should always be treated with a migration,
#   at least it marks that as done.
#
./flow flow:core:migrate <Vendor.PackageName>

# Run database migrations
./flow doctrine:migrate

# Publish resources
./flow resource:publish

#Troubleshooting

If you run into trouble with Neos content or resources, the following may help:

# If you get error messages when running Flow CLI commands:
rm -rf Data/Temporary

# If you experience issues with pages not working, try 
./flow node:repair

# If you experience issues with resources, thumbnail or assets, try
./flow resource:clean
./flow media:clearthumbnails
