Upgrade Notes

  • FishEye 2.5:
    • This release will trigger an automatic upgrade of the metadata index the first time FishEye is started. FishEye is still usable while this task runs in the background, however the search functionality will not contain all results. A warning will appear in the UI until the upgrade has complete. Please also see How do I Avoid Long Reindex Times When I Upgrade
    • Some RSS readers may duplicate items when first fetching feeds after upgrading because RSS titles have changed.

Upgrade Procedure

Before you begin

  • Test your upgrades in your test environment before rolling into production.
  • Back up your entire Fisheye instance (see Backing up and restoring Fisheye data):
    • If you are backing up your Fisheye instance using the Admin interface, tick all of the 'Include' checkboxes (e.g. repository and application caches, plugins and their configuration data, SQL database, etc).
    • If you are backing up your Fisheye instance using the command-line interface, do not use any exclusion options.

If you are already running a version of FishEye, please follow these instructions on FishEye upgrade guide.
