Updating your LORIS

We recommend upgrading to the most recent LORIS release.

Update your LORIS by pulling the release code and applying the MySQL patch associated with that release in the SQL/ directory. Carefully note modifications to data columns and data type definitions, and recent merges tagged with Caveat for Existing Projects. Also be sure to consult the most recent Release Notes. Composer must be installed as of release 15.04.

If you are used to upgrading to the latest code in the Development branch, we no longer recommend this practice as of release 14.12. If you are a developer used to working on the development branch, note that as of 15.10 the master branch is reserved for stable releases. e.g. 16.04-dev is the next development branch.

It may help to update tables to utf8 character set:

INSERT IGNORE INTO `user_perm_rel` (userID, permID) SELECT DISTINCT 1, permID FROM permissions;
