    1515=== 2. Update the Trac Code #UpdatetheTracCode
    1616
    17 Get the new version as described in TracInstall, or your operating system specific procedure.
    18 
    19 If you already have a 0.12 version of Trac installed via `easy_install`, it might be easiest to also use `easy_install` to upgrade your Trac installation:
    20 
    21 {{{#!sh
    22 easy_install --upgrade Trac==1.0
    23 }}}
    24 
    25 If you do a manual (not operating system-specific) upgrade, you should also stop any running Trac servers before the installation. Doing "hot" upgrades is not advised, especially on Windows ([trac:#7265]).
     17Get the new version as described in TracInstall, or through your operating system package manager.
     18
     19If you already an earlier version of Trac installed via `easy_install`, it might be easiest to also use `easy_install` to upgrade your Trac installation:
     20
     21{{{#!sh
     22easy_install --upgrade Trac==1.2
     23}}}
    2624
    2725You may also want to remove the pre-existing Trac code by deleting the `trac` directory from the Python `lib/site-packages` directory, or remove Trac `.egg` files from former versions.
     
    3129 * on MacOSX: `/Library/Python/2.X/site-packages`
    3230
    33 You may also want to remove the Trac `cgi-bin`, `htdocs`, `templates` and `wiki-default` directories that are commonly found in a directory called `share/trac`. The exact location depends on your platform. This cleanup is not mandatory, but makes it easier to troubleshoot issues later on, as your installation is uncluttered by code or templates from a previous release that is not used anymore. As usual, make a backup before actually removing things.

    68 this will extract static resources and CGI scripts (`trac.wsgi`, etc) from new Trac version and its plugins into `/deploy/path`.

    7068Some web browsers (IE, Opera) cache CSS and Javascript files aggressively, so you may need to instruct your users to manually erase the contents of their browser's cache, a forced refreshed (`<F5>`) should be enough.
     
    7573=== 6. Steps specific to a given Trac version
    7674
     75==== Upgrading from Trac 1.0 to 1.2 #to1.2
     76
     77===== Python 2.5 no longer supported
     78
     79Upgrade Python to at least 2.6 or 2.7, but not 3.0 or greater.
     80
     81===== Obsolete Plugins
     82
     83Trac has added functionality equivalent to the following plugins:
     84* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AdminEnumListPlugin AdminEnumListPlugin]
     85* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/DateFieldPlugin DateFieldPlugin]: see the **time** [TracTicketsCustomFields#AvailableFieldTypesandOptions custom field type]
     86* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GroupBasedRedirectionPlugin GroupBasedRedirectionPlugin]: the default handler can set as a user preference.
     87* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/LinenoMacro LinenoMacro]: see WikiProcessors#AvailableProcessors
     88* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/NeverNotifyUpdaterPlugin NeverNotifyUpdaterPlugin]: see [TracNotification#notification-subscriber-section notification subscribers]
     89* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/QueryUiAssistPlugin QueryUiAssistPlugin]: see TracQuery#Filters.
     90* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketCreationStatusPlugin TicketCreationStatusPlugin]: see [#NewWorkflowActions]
     91
     92The plugins should be removed when upgrading Trac to 1.2.
     93
     94===== New workflow actions #NewWorkflowActions
     95
     96The ticket creation step is controlled with a workflow action. The default workflow has `create` and `create_and_assign` actions. The `create` action will always be added when upgrading the database. The `create_and_assign` action will be added if the workflow has an //assigned// state. You may want to edit your workflow after upgrading the database to customize the actions available on the //New Ticket// page.
     97
     98===== New permissions policy for read-only wiki pages
     99
     100Since 1.1.2 the read-only attribute of wiki pages is enabled and enforced only when `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` is in the list of active permission policies. If `[trac] permission_policy` has the default value `DefaultPermissionPolicy, LegacyAttachmentPolicy`, then `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` should be automatically appended to the list when upgrading the environment:
     101{{{#!ini
     102[trac]
     103permission_policies = ReadonlyWikiPolicy,
     104 DefaultPermissionPolicy,
     105 LegacyAttachmentPolicy
     106}}}
     107
     108If other permission policies are enabled, `trac.ini` will need to have `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` appended to the list of active `permission_policies`. See TracFineGrainedPermissions#ReadonlyWikiPolicy for additional details on the proper ordering.
     109
    77110==== Upgrading from Trac 0.12 to Trac 1.0 #to1.0
    78111
     
    92125
    93126===== Subversion components not enabled by default for new installations
     127
    94128The Trac components for Subversion support are no longer enabled by default. To enable the svn support, you need to make sure the `tracopt.versioncontrol.svn` components are enabled, for example by setting the following in the TracIni:
    95129{{{#!ini
     
    97131tracopt.versioncontrol.svn.* = enabled
    98132}}}
     133
    99134The upgrade procedure should take care of this and change the TracIni appropriately, unless you already had the svn components explicitly disabled.
    100135
    101136===== Attachments migrated to new location
     137
    102138Another step in the automatic upgrade will change the way the attachments are stored. Create a backup of the `attachments` directory before upgrading. In case the `attachments` directory contains some files which are //not// attachments, the last step of the migration to the new layout will fail: the deletion of the now unused `attachments` directory can't be done if there are still files and folders in it. You may ignore this error, but better to move them elsewhere and remove the `attachments` directory manually. The attachments themselves are now all located in your environment below the `files/attachments` directory.
    103139
    104140===== Behavior of `[ticket] default_owner` changed
     141
    105142Prior to 1.0, the owner field of new tickets always defaulted to `[ticket] default_owner` when the value was not empty. If the value was empty, the owner field defaulted to to the Component's owner. In 1.0 and later, the `default_owner` must be set to `< default >` to make new tickets default to the Component's owner. This change allows the `default_owner` to be set to an empty value if no default owner is desired.
    106143
     
    186223
    187224===== Web Admin plugin integrated
     225
    188226If you had the [trac:WebAdmin] plugin installed, you can uninstall it as it is part of the Trac code base since 0.11.
    189227
     
    212250There are some significant caveats in this, such as accepting a ticket sets it to 'assigned' state, and assigning a ticket sets it to 'new' state. So you will probably want to migrate to "basic" workflow; [trac:source:trunk/contrib/workflow/migrate_original_to_basic.py contrib/workflow/migrate_original_to_basic.py] may be helpful. See TracWorkflow for a detailed description of the new basic workflow.
    213251
    214 ===== Global Configuration
    215 In versions prior to 0.11, the global configuration was by default located in `$prefix/share/trac/conf/trac.ini` or `/etc/trac/trac.ini`, depending on the distribution. You may want to specify that file to inherit from when upgrading.  Literally, when upgrading you have to add an `[inherit]` section to your project's `trac.ini` file. Additionally, you have to move your customized templates and common images from `$prefix/share/trac/...` to the new location.
    216 
    217252=== 7. Restart the Web Server #RestarttheWebServer
    218253
     
    233268
    234269=== Wiki Upgrade
     270
    235271`trac-admin` will not delete or remove default wiki pages that were present in a previous version but are no longer in the new version.
    236272
     
    240276
    241277=== Parent dir
     278
    242279If you use a Trac parent env configuration and one of the plugins in one child does not work, none of the children will work.
