    88Typically, there are seven steps involved in upgrading to a newer version of Trac:
     
    1010=== 1. Bring your server off-line
    1111
    12 It is not a good idea to update a running server: the server processes may have parts of the current packages cached in memory, and updating the code will likely trigger [#ZipImportError internal errors].
    13 
    14 === 2. Update the Trac Code === #UpdatetheTracCode
     12It is not a good idea to update a running server: the server processes may have parts of the current packages cached in memory, and updating the code will likely trigger [#ZipImportError internal errors].
     13
     14Although a database backup will be implicitly created by default when upgrading the environment, it is always a good idea to perform a full backup of the environment using the [TracBackup hotcopy] command before beginning.
     15
     16=== 2. Update the Trac Code #UpdatetheTracCode
    1517
    1618Get the new version as described in TracInstall, or your operating system specific procedure.
     
    1820If 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:
    1921
    20 {{{
    21 # easy_install --upgrade Trac==1.0
     22{{{#!sh
     23easy_install --upgrade Trac==1.0
    2224}}}
    2325
     
    3234You 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.
    3335
    34 === 3. Upgrade the Trac Environment === #UpgradetheTracEnvironment
     36=== 3. Upgrade the Trac Environment #UpgradetheTracEnvironment
    3537
    3638Environment upgrades are not necessary for minor version releases unless otherwise noted.
    3739
    3840After restarting, Trac should show the instances which need a manual upgrade via the automated upgrade scripts to ease the pain. These scripts are run via [TracAdmin trac-admin]:
    39 {{{
     41{{{#!sh
    4042trac-admin /path/to/projenv upgrade
    4143}}}
     
    4547Note that a backup of your database will be performed automatically prior to the upgrade.
    4648This feature is relatively new for PostgreSQL or MySQL databases, so if it fails, you will have to backup the database manually. Then, to perform the actual upgrade, run:
    47 {{{
     49{{{#!sh
    4850trac-admin /path/to/projenv upgrade --no-backup
    4951}}}
     
    5254
    5355By default, every [TracEnvironment Trac environment] includes a copy of the Trac documentation for the installed version. However, to keep the included documentation in sync with the installed version of Trac, use the following [TracAdmin trac-admin] command to upgrade the documentation:
    54 {{{
     56{{{#!sh
    5557trac-admin /path/to/projenv wiki upgrade
    5658}}}
     
    5860Note that this procedure will leave your `WikiStart` page intact.
    5961
    60 === 5. Refresh static resources ===
     62=== 5. Refresh static resources
    6163
    6264If you have set up a web server to give out static resources directly (accessed using the `/chrome/` URL) then you will need to refresh them using the same command:
    63 {{{
     65{{{#!sh
    6466trac-admin /path/to/env deploy /deploy/path
    6567}}}
     
    7173}}}

    73 === 6. Steps specific to a given Trac version  ===
    74 
    75 ==== Upgrading from Trac 1.0 to 1.1.x ==== #to1.1.x
    76 
    77 ===== Python 2.5 no longer supported =====
     75=== 6. Steps specific to a given Trac version
     76
     77==== Upgrading from Trac 1.0 to 1.1.x #to1.1.x
     78
     79===== Python 2.5 no longer supported
    7880The minimum supported version of python is now 2.6
    7981
    8082===== New permissions policy for read-only wiki pages
    8183Since 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:
    82 {{{
     84{{{#!ini
    8385[trac]
    8486permission_policies = ReadonlyWikiPolicy,
     
    8890If other permission policies are enabled, //trac.ini// will need to be edited to append `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` to the list of active `permission_policies`. See TracFineGrainedPermissions#ReadonlyWikiPolicy for additional details on the proper ordering.
    8991
    90 ==== Upgrading from Trac 0.12 to Trac 1.0 ==== #to1.0
    91 
    92 ===== Python 2.4 no longer supported =====
     92==== Upgrading from Trac 0.12 to Trac 1.0 #to1.0
     93
     94===== Python 2.4 no longer supported
    9395Upgrade Python to at least 2.5, but not 3.0.
    9496
    9597===== Subversion components not enabled by default for new installations
    9698The 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:
    97 {{{
     99{{{#!ini
    98100[components]
    99101tracopt.versioncontrol.svn.* = enabled
     
    107109Prior 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.
    108110
    109 ==== Upgrading from Trac 0.11 to Trac 0.12 ====
    110 
    111 ===== Python 2.3 no longer supported =====
     111==== Upgrading from Trac 0.11 to Trac 0.12
     112
     113===== Python 2.3 no longer supported
    112114The minimum supported version of Python is now 2.4.
    113115
    114 ===== SQLite v3.x required =====
     116===== SQLite v3.x required
    115117SQLite v2.x is no longer supported. If you still use a Trac database of this format, you'll need to convert it to SQLite v3.x first. See [trac:PySqlite#UpgradingSQLitefrom2.xto3.x] for details.
    116118
    117 ===== [trac:PySqlite] 2 required =====
     119===== [trac:PySqlite] 2 required
    118120[trac:PySqlite] 1.1.x is no longer supported. Please install 2.5.5 or later if possible, see [#Tracdatabaseupgrade Trac database upgrade] below.
    119121
    120 ===== Multiple Repository Support =====
     122===== Multiple Repository Support
    121123The latest version includes support for multiple repositories. If you plan to add more repositories to your Trac instance, please refer to TracRepositoryAdmin#Migration.
    122124
    123125This may be of interest to users with only one repository, since there is now a way to avoid the potentially costly resync check at every request.
    124126
    125 ===== Resynchronize the Trac Environment Against the Source Code Repository =====
     127===== Resynchronize the Trac Environment Against the Source Code Repository
    126128
    127129Each [TracEnvironment Trac environment] must be resynchronized against the source code repository in order to avoid errors such as "[trac:#6120 No changeset ??? in the repository]" while browsing the source through the Trac interface:
    128130
    129 {{{
     131{{{#!sh
    130132trac-admin /path/to/projenv repository resync '*'
    131133}}}
    132134
    133 ===== Improved repository synchronization =====
     135===== Improved repository synchronization
    134136In addition to supporting multiple repositories, there is now a more efficient method for synchronizing Trac and your repositories.
    135137
     
    138140Note that if you were using the `trac-post-commit-hook`, ''you're strongly advised to upgrade it'' to the new hook documented in the above references and [TracWorkflow#Howtocombinethetracopt.ticket.commit_updaterwiththetestingworkflow here], as the old hook will not work with anything else than the default repository and even for this case, it won't trigger the appropriate notifications.
    139141
    140 ===== Authz permission checking =====
     142===== Authz permission checking
    141143The authz permission checking has been migrated to a fine-grained permission policy. If you use authz permissions (aka `[trac] authz_file` and `authz_module_name`), you must add `AuthzSourcePolicy` in front of your permission policies in `[trac] permission_policies`. You must also remove `BROWSER_VIEW`, `CHANGESET_VIEW`, `FILE_VIEW` and `LOG_VIEW` from your global permissions with `trac-admin $ENV permission remove` or the "Permissions" admin panel.
    142144
    143 ===== Microsecond timestamps =====
     145===== Microsecond timestamps
    144146All timestamps in database tables, except the `session` table, have been changed from "seconds since epoch" to "microseconds since epoch" values. This change should be transparent to most users, except for custom reports. If any of your reports use date/time columns in calculations (e.g. to pass them to `datetime()`), you must divide the values retrieved from the database by 1'000'000. Similarly, if a report provides a calculated value to be displayed as a date/time (i.e. with a column named "time", "datetime", "changetime", "date", "created" or "modified"), you must provide a microsecond timestamp, that is, multiply your previous calculation with 1'000'000.
    145147
    146 ==== Upgrading from Trac 0.10 to Trac 0.11 ====
    147 ===== Site Templates and Styles =====
     148==== Upgrading from Trac 0.10 to Trac 0.11
     149===== Site Templates and Styles
    148150The templating engine has changed in 0.11 to Genshi, please look at TracInterfaceCustomization for more information.
    149151
    150152If you are using custom CSS or modified templates in the `templates` directory of the TracEnvironment, you will need to convert them to the Genshi way of doing things. To continue to use your style sheet, follow the instructions at TracInterfaceCustomization#SiteAppearance.
    151153
    152 ===== Trac Macros, Plugins =====
     154===== Trac Macros, Plugins
    153155The Trac macros will need to be adapted, as the old-style wiki-macros are not supported anymore due to the drop of [trac:ClearSilver] and the HDF. They need to be converted to the new-style macros, see WikiMacros. When they are converted to the new style, they need to be placed into the plugins directory instead and not wiki-macros, which is no longer scanned for macros or plugins.
    154156
    155 ===== For FCGI/WSGI/CGI users =====
     157===== For FCGI/WSGI/CGI users
    156158For those who run Trac under the CGI environment, run this command in order to obtain the trac.*gi file:
    157 {{{
     159{{{#!sh
    158160trac-admin /path/to/env deploy /deploy/directory/path
    159161}}}
     
    161163This will create a deploy directory with the following two subdirectories: `cgi-bin` and `htdocs`. Then update your Apache configuration file `httpd.conf` with this new `trac.cgi` location and `htdocs` location.
    162164
    163 ===== Web Admin plugin integrated =====
     165===== Web Admin plugin integrated
    164166If you had the [trac:WebAdmin] plugin installed, you can uninstall it as it is part of the Trac code base since 0.11.
    165167
     
    190192There 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.

    198200=== Customized Templates
     
    202204The preferred way to perform TracInterfaceCustomization is to write a custom plugin doing an appropriate `ITemplateStreamFilter` transformation, as this is more robust in case of changes: we usually won't modify element `id`s or change CSS `class`es, and if we have to do so, this will be documented in the [trac:TracDev/ApiChanges] pages.
    203205
    204 === !ZipImportError ===
     206=== !ZipImportError
    205207
    206208Due to internal caching of zipped packages, whenever the content of the packages change on disk, the in-memory zip index will no longer match and you'll get irrecoverable !ZipImportError errors. Better anticipate and bring your server down for maintenance before upgrading.
    207209See [trac:#7014] for details.

    209 === Wiki Upgrade ===
     211=== Wiki Upgrade
    210212`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.

    212 === Trac database upgrade ===
     214=== Trac database upgrade
    213215
    214216A known issue in some versions of [trac:PySqlite] (2.5.2-2.5.4) prevents the trac-admin upgrade script from successfully upgrading the database format. It is advised to use either a newer or older version of the sqlite python bindings to avoid this error. For more details see ticket [trac:#9434].

     223=== Upgrading Python
    222224
    223225Upgrading Python to a newer version will require reinstallation of Python packages: Trac itself of course, but also [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools easy_install], if you've been using that. If you are using Subversion, you'll also need to upgrade the Python bindings for svn.
