Upgrading from 1.2.x to 1.3.x

[TomR]

I looked into different places but I am not sure where to find all to information to upgrade from 1.2.x to 1.3.x

We are planning tot test upgrading so when the first stable release 1.3.x wil come out , we will be ready.
Better be prepared in advance

My main questions are:

What is the correct procedure?
We did numerous updates within the 1.2.x releases. Is it the same for 1.2.x -> 1.3.0.RC1?

Is there any documentation what the main differences are between 1.2.x and 1.3.x beside the Changelog?

We use a lot of plugins.
Do they have to be adapted?
Is there any documentation besides the standard doc. for plugins how to upgrade plugins

For some Mantis instances we change source code ( if the task was not possible with a plugin )
We need to re-apply these of course. Therefor we would like an overview of the main differences between 1.2.x and 1.3.x. So we can investigate where to re-apply these changes.

Have a look at https://www.mantisbt.org/docs/master/en ... ll.upgrade
I just noticed that the documentation is not up to date. Configuration files are stored in subdirectory config since 1.3.0-beta.1 https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=16850

See our blog https://www.mantisbt.org/blog/ especially this post https://www.mantisbt.org/blog/?p=416#more-416

Hard to say. There are some plugins that provide a separate branch to support Mantis 1.3.x, there are other plugins that changed just their requirements and made minor changes so that the same source runs with 1.2 and 1.3 , e.g. something like

Code: Select all

		$this->requires = array(
			'MantisCore' => '1.2.6, <1.3.99',
		);

You can learn from the changes they made https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins

Therefor we would like an overview of the main differences between 1.2.x and 1.3.x. So we can investigate where to re-apply these changes.

Fixed it in repository, online version should be updated tomorrow.
