Migration guide from Version 4.x.x to Version 5.0

Migration guide from Version 4.x.x to Version 5

Version 5 is not yet released, so these steps are subject to change.

The new version comes with a fully redesigned interface. This page details steps to take to ensure compatibility.

Most configurations work out of the box, because data schema has not changed.

Steps to do before the update

• Remove old Html Customization files from /plugins/Plan/web or /config/Plan/web. The old web files are not compatible with the redesign.
• Remove theme.yml or lines with DefaultColor, FontStyleSheet & FontFamily
• Update the plugin as usual by replacing the jar and restarting the server.

Steps to do after the update

• (Networks) Bukkit or Sponge servers automatically disable their Webserver if a Bungee/Velocity is detected in the database (They are no longer needed). Close the unused ports in your firewall if necessary.
• Activity Index playtime threshold should be adjusted due to drastic change in the formula for the heuristic.
