Full Changelog

0.5.0...0.6.0

v0.5.0

Caution

This release introduces breaking changes. Please review the following information before upgrading.

Hello, Plant-it community!
As discussed in the previous frontend redesign and restructuring proposal, the time has come for its implementation.
This release includes a completely rewritten frontend app built entirely in Flutter.
Additionally, I've streamlined the deployment process, aiming to minimize errors during setup.
I plan to roll out the new frontend app to various app stores in the near future.

To upgrade to the latest version of the project, follow these steps:

1. Backup Database Files: It's highly recommend to create backups of the db folder to safeguard your data.
2. Backup Upload Files: Similarly, create backups of the upload-dir folder to preserve any uploaded content.
3. Execute SQL Command: Run the provided SQL command in your shell to clear all entries from the DATABASECHANGELOG table. This step ensures a smooth transition to the new version.

   docker exec <db_container_name> mysql -u<db_user> -p<db_password> -e "USE bootdb; DELETE FROM DATABASECHANGELOG;"

For example, if using the default backend.env file, the command would be:

   docker exec plant-it-db-1 mysql -uroot -proot -e "USE bootdb; DELETE FROM DATABASECHANGELOG;"

4. Redeploy Docker Compose: After executing the SQL command, redeploy the Docker Compose stack to implement the changes.

Important

Please note that the docker-compose.yml deployment file is changed from the previous version, you can find more in the README of the project or in the new documentation.

v0.4.3

Caution

Some users may encounter an issue where the backend constantly reboots on update from older version. Upon investigation, it has been determined that this issue may arise due to recent changes in the database schema files.
To resolve this issue, please follow the steps below:

1. Backup Database Files: It is recommended to create a backup of the db folder before proceeding. This will allow you to rollback the changes if necessary.
2. Execute SQL Command: Run the following command from the shell to remove all entries from the DATABASECHANGELOG table:

docker exec <db_container_name> mysql -u<db_user> -p<db_password> -e "USE bootdb; DELETE FROM DATABASECHANGELOG;"

For example, if using the default backend.env file, the command would be:

docker exec plant-it-db-1 mysql -uroot -proot -e "USE bootdb; DELETE FROM DATABASECHANGELOG;"

3. Redeploy Docker Compose: Once the SQL command has been executed, redeploy the Docker Compose stack as necessary.

Apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused. If you encounter any difficulties or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to open an issue.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
