Migration Path

Database Update

In this release there are two new database tables to support the file upload feature, and the ability to share login tokens across multiple instances of an application. To create these new tables you will need to create and apply a new migration by running the following in the serverside/src directory of your project:

dotnet ef migrations add Version12
dotnet ef database update

Client-Side package update

As a part of this version we have updated some client-side packages. To apply these updates run the following in the clientside directory of your project.

yarn install

Checkbox Props Update

Previously the checkbox component had a property erroneously named onChange which would perform an action after a checkbox has changed. This function name has been updated to onAfterChange and a new onChange prop has been added to allow the overriding of the onChange handle for the checkbox.

To migrate your project to the new behaviour please update any calls to the onChange prop to onAfterChange instead.
