Upgrading clients to v5.2
In client 'Help' menu choose Check for software updates. If our update site isn't reachable from your location, you can do it manually overriding current installation with the latest installer.
Upgrading servers to v5.2
Starting from v5.2, logFaces requires JRE11+ to run since Java 8 has reached End of Life and we end our support for it. The Long Term Support is now JRE 11, but it can work with more recent versions as well. If your server is still using external JRE and this JRE is below version 11, make sure to upgrade it first and make sure that logFaces server is using it before proceeding to the version 5.2 upgrade below. The JRE executable is referenced in your server /bin/lfs.conf file in property named wrapper.java.command. Make sure it points to the correct JRE.
Server upgrade can be done online if you have public internet access, or offline using binary distributions from downloads.
Online upgrade
If server has public internet access - use the admin. This process is automated and takes only a few moments. Make sure that after upgrade server version is 5.2.0.
Offline upgrade
If server doesn't have public internet access do the following:
- Stop logFaces server if running
- If using the installer distribution, let it handle the update. Don't register as service on Windows, go to step 4
- If using the archived distribution, remove /lib and /admin directories from existing installation and unzip the archive over the current installation directory.
- Start logFaces server
