Special checks after an upgrade:
  • from any earlier version to 2.xx:
    • The templates have been changed in a lot of places. Please check your customized templates if they are still looking right. If not you will have to edit your templates accordingly (check out the original templates to see what was changed). The upgrade process tries to replace the template.js inclusion by the placeholder {TEMPLATEJS}. If you have javascript issue with your custom template, verify if your template have the placeholder {TEMPLATEJS} in startpage.pstpl.
    • Proper question codes are mandatory, now. After upgrade check the survey logic of all surveys and correct the codes where necessary.
  • from a version earlier than v1.53: When upgrading from a version before v1.53 to the latest version, please check the global user rights of each user. There was a new superadmin right introduced in v1.53 that can give a user the same privilege as the master administration account created during the install. The upgrade script is guessing who to give this right to in the older versions.  As this is not perfect, it should be carefully checked.
  • from any earlier version to v2.06: From 2.05 to 2.06 some unused permissions when editing global permission for 'surveys' were activated. So if a user has any permission besides the 'create' they will be able to apply this additional permission on other surveys then their own. So please check the global permission of admin users that should only be able to see their own surveys and make sure they only have the 'create' permission assigned for 'surveys'.
