Upgrading LedgerSMB 1.5.x to 1.5.y

Upgrading tarball installations

There are two steps to upgrading a LedgerSMB 1.5.x installation to 1.5.y (x smaller than y):

  1. Upgrade the software
  2. Upgrade the company database

The last step has to be executed for each company database that's set up.

Note that all the steps below are prefixed with the 'sudo' command, but these can be executed as 'root' directly as well.

Upgrading the software

This is by far the easiest part. These are the steps to go through, assuming an installation from tarball:

1.5.3 Released

Submitted by ehu on

The LedgerSMB development team is happy to announce yet another new
version of its open source ERP and accounting application. This release
contains a fix for the change in Perl 5.24 which no longer includes '.'
in @INC. Some distributions have backported this change to earlier Perl
versions (as it is security fix CVE-2016-1238). LedgerSMB now both works
correctly without '.' on @INC and actively removes '.' from @INC on any
Perl version, effectively backporting this security fix.

Before starting to update to 1.5, the following are differences to be aware of between 1.4 and 1.5:

  • JavaScript in the browser
  • Additional data constraints
  • PSGI / Apache configuration
  • Printed document templates (e.g. invoice templates)
  • Database schema maintenance

See below for explanations of each of these differences.

 

Important note: before trying to migrate your database to a new version of LedgerSMB, create a backup of the database!

1.5.0 Released

Submitted by ehu on

The LedgerSMB project is proud to announce the release of 1.5.0, the start of a new line of maintenance releases.

This release can be summarized as a major user experience boost through improvements in performace, look and stability. Performance improvements are being achieved by moving from per-request-invoked CGI-scripts to a preloaded-PSGI application as well as moving to a single-page web application using the Dojo toolkit.
