Upgrade Information

Please read the complete Release Notes and instructions before upgrading.
Please follow the regular upgrade documentation for Windows or Linux
Upgrading any previous version higher or equal to version 11.8.
Additional Nginx configuration parameters for larger upload (>2GB) have been documented in our Wiki.
If you face the error message java.lang.IllegalStateException: Problem reading database configuration. org.hibernate.HibernateException: Dialect class not found: de.dal33t.powerfolder.A.L.C.B in the logs, please stop thee service, remove the line hibernate.dialect=de.dal33t.powerfolder.A.L.C.B from your Server Configuration File and start the service again.
Cluster: Running different versions on the servers in the cluster is supported but limited to version >= 14.3.5
Important: If you are on Linux, one additional step is necessary, which is not mentioned in the upgrade article from the Wiki. Please delete the existing /jre32 or /jre64 sub-directory in the installation directory before unpacking the new contents from the .tar.gz there as we ship a new different JRE now. Furthermore we do not longer support 32-bit OS for PowerFolder Server.

Downgrade information (optional)

In case a downgrade to a previous version is necessary:
- For a downgrade you have to review our downgrade documentation since version 14.2 is not downgrade compatible by default.
- Simply replace the PowerFolder-Server.jar file with that from the previous version you would like to run.
- Please keep in mind to insert your old branding.
Log messages due to the higher schema version of database can be ignored:
- [DatabaseMigrator]: Database layout version is newer than expected.
