1. System downtime is required to upgrade the triple stores
2. SPARQL queries will need to be checked for use of string datatypes. See Data types for string and language
3. Applications directly accessing the SDB triple store will need to be upgraded to use Jena 3 libraries.
4. With the upgrade to Jena 3.x, Java 8 is required. The Maven projects have been upgraded to state a dependency on version 8, and Maven will not run without it.
5. If you have customizations, please see
   1.  Preserving Customizations During Build for processes to include your customizations in a VIVO build

Changes to runtime.properties

Location

For VIVO 1.10, the preferred location of runtime.properties has changed from the <vivo_home> directory to <vivo_home>/config. VIVO will raise a warning on startup if runtime.properties is found in <vivo_home> or both <vivo_home> and <vivo_home>/config. Continue startup by refreshing or clicking continue. Move runtime.properties into the config directory to avoid the warning.

Password hashing settings

VIVO 1.10 includes security enhancements to the way passwords are stored in VIVO. Three new settings are now required in runtime.properties. Add the following to an older version of runtime.settings (default settings shown):

argon2.parallelism = 1
argon2.memory = 1024
argon2.time = 1000

For a full explanation of the new settings, see example.runtime.properties.
