Updating

In general after every update you should update the database scheme in Admin tools > Maintenance > Analyze Database and flush all caches.

Updating from 5.x to 6.0.0

The field name is not filled automatically anymore by the first and last name and the field will be remove with one of the next versions. If your templates or third party extension depend on this field to be filled you can activate the legacy behaviour in Admin tools > Settings > Extension Configuration by checking Store backwards compatibility name in name field.

Translation files for languages other then English are not included directly in the extension anymore. You can get them from the translation server at Admin tools > Maintenance > Manage Languages.

Updating from 4.x to 5.0.0

Warning

The upgrade wizard to migrate from pibase to extbase plugins have been removed. If you need those, please install version 4.x first and upgrade afterwards.

With the version 5.0.0 the TYPO3 versions 9 and 10 are supported which also means that the support for version 8 has been dropped.

Updating from 3.x to 4.0.0

With the version 4.0.0 the code base changed a lot to support TYPO3 8.7 LTS and 9.5 LTS.

The most important changes are:

Changing the vendor name from TYPO3 to FriendsOfTYPO3
Usage of Extbase & Fluid. The previous plugin is deprecated and will be removed with version 5.0.0
Changing the location of TypoScript files of old plugin

An upgrade wizard in the Install Tool makes it possible to upgrade the TypoScript usages. It migrates EXT:tt_address/static/pi1 to EXT:tt_address/Configuration/TypoScript/LegacyPlugin.

Warning

The upgrade wizard does not update any TS inclusion done in your site package.

Another upgrade wizard migrates old piBase plugins to extbase plugins. The Template option is converted to Display mode. So for example your Template is my_template.html, then

Add TSconfig TCEFORM.tt_content.pi_flexform.ttaddress_listview.sDISPLAY.settings\\.displayMode.addItems.my_template = My Template
Add a section named displayMode_my_template in your custom List.html fluid template

After execution (via cli) you get a list of custom templates you used in your installation.

Updating from 2.x to 4.0.0

It is not possible to upgrade from version 2.x to 4.0 directly! Update first to the latest 3.x version and use the upgrade wizards to migrate from custom category records to sys_category records and to FAL elements.
