Migrating to a New Major Release

Migrating to a New Major Release

Overview

Each Profound.js version within a major release series is backwards compatible with the other releases in the same series. New major releases are not always 100% backwards compatible.

  • For example: every 7.x.x version is compatible with all prior 7.x.x versions, so moving from one Profound.js 7 release to a later one does not require a migration guide.

When upgrading to a new major release, it is sometimes necessary to make slight changes to your applications and/or configurations so that they work with the new version.

Read the guide for your target release before running the upgrade, not after – some changes are easier to make while the previous version is still in place (see Upgrade Process).

Upgrading to Profound.js 7

Migrating to Profound.js 7 From Earlier Versions is the guide to follow. Profound.js 7 is the current release.

If you are upgrading from Profound.js 5 or earlier, that guide directs you to work through the older Migrating to Profound.js 6 From Earlier Versions guide first. It is retained for reference in the Legacy Versions folder under Installing/Upgrading Profound.js.
