Known existing problems upgrading from 10.3 to 10.4...

asked on April 20, 2020

Hi Community,

Just checking, we are preparing to upgrade our Laserfiche environment from 10.3 to 10.4.. Newest updates. We are being cautious and have created a replica of our Production system since we have numerous custom activities etc. We have a RIO system split into Application, IIS and Database. 

From your experience upgrading all your applications, are you aware of any known issues i can run into?

Any experience from your side will be appreciated.

Regards,

Gert Bester

The biggest change with 10.4.3 has been that Directory Server no longer relies on WCF Encryption.

Make sure you read this piece in the Administration guide, take special note to the part about about having to add the Port # as it is important

Forms 10.4.3 updates the major versions of several core JavaScript libraries. While these bring important security updates, they can potentially cause breaking changes to custom JavaScript.

See: List of Changes for Laserfiche Forms 10.4.3 and below.

Updates

  • Added auditing for instance cancellation. When an instance is stopped, details are logged.
  • Added the ability to send an email notification when a process is suspended.
  • Updated the HTML generated for forms to meet WCAG requirements for aria tags.
  • Chromium 79.0.3942.0 installation is now a prerequisite during Forms setup to support PDF generation.
    • Forms 10.4.3 uses Puppeteer Sharp with Chromium 79.0.3942.0 for pdf generation instead of Wkhtmltopdf/WkhtmltopdfArguments, which have been deprecated.
    • While newer version of Chromium will not be altered during installation, using any version of Chromium other than 79.0.3942.0 is untested.
  • Updated the following libraries for security enhancements:
    • jQuery library updated to 3.4.1
    • jQuery UI library updated to 1.12.1
    • AngularJS updated to 1.7.9
    • Moment.js updated to 2.24.0
    • Lodash updated to 4.17.15
    • mathjs updated to 6.2.5
  • If you have customized forms with javascript, check your custom scripts for the following:
    • If referencing JQuery 1.x, the reference needs to be removed.
    • If custom js referenced other libraries, verify that the libraries are compatible with JQuery 3.x.
    • The iframe onload event may occur before (document).ready(). Place the iframe onload outside of (document).ready(). (Example: https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/164779/Fill-Forms-field-from-iframe#165379)
    • Prior to Forms 10.4.3, .width().height().css("width"), and .css("height") methods returned rounded integer values, and will now return decimal values when used in custom javascript.
    • Value-returning jQuery methods will return "undefined" when used with an empty JQuery collection, where "null" was previously returned.

Hey Samuel,

We are attempting to upgrade our installation of Forms 10.4.5.282 to 11. We currently have Chromium Version 79.0.3945.0 installed on the Forms server. However, when we try to run the Forms 11 installation, the 'Install Chromium' prerequisites fails. I did create a separate Answers post on this issue.
