Advance Notice of End of Support

Advance Notice of End of Support for Internet Explorer 7

We intend to end support for Internet Explorer 7 in the next release of Crowd.

Advance Notice of End of Support for Java Platform 6

This is an advance warning that future releases of Crowd will no longer be supported on Java 6 (JDK/JRE 1.6). Crowd 2.7 will still run on Java 6. We encourage administrators to upgrade to Java 7 for Crowd 2.7 to ensure a smooth transition when upgrading to future releases of Crowd.

Advance Notice of Removal of Support for Upgrading From Very Old Crowds

As part of upgrading and streamlining Crowd we are considering removing support for upgrading from very old versions of Crowd (CWD-3115). With this change, customers with an installation of Crowd 1.x would need to upgrade to Crowd 2.7 before upgrading to a later version.

アップグレード手順

To upgrade to the latest Crowd 2.7.x point release from any earlier version of Crowd, please follow these upgrade instructions.
