Hipchat Server Release Notes
The update channels represent different software update sources. We first release software to the Beta Channel and if it performs well for many sites we may promote it to the Production Channel with well defined Known issues.
Before you upgrade...
- Remember to create a backup before you upgrade, either with a virtualization snapshot or using a data backup/export. See Back up and restore Hipchat Server for more details.
参考情報
- If your upgrade fails with a "
Mismatch of expected sha512sum"
error, your upgrade binary may be out of date, corrupted, or might have only been partially downloaded. See the related Hipchat Knowledge Base article for more information. - After the upgrade completes, the system's ssh welcome text will show an older version until you reboot. To check the build and version number without rebooting, look for the version number in the file at
/etc/hipchat-release
. - During the upgrade and reboot processes the system monitor (monit) might send service restart emails. You can safely ignore them.
- The Hipchat iOS app requires iOS 9 or later to enable SAML single sign-on.

Hipchat Server 2.4.3 - October 25th, 2018 - Production channel
Published to Production channel on 25th of October 2018
Compatibility Warning: 2.3.x -> 2.4.2
2.3.x versions of Hipchat Server cannot be upgraded to version 2.4.3.

New Feature - Changes to License Counts
In version 2.4.3, we've changed how we count the number of people using your Hipchat instance towards your license.
Previously, all users synchronized from your authentication system into our internal directory were counted towards your license count. This lead to some difficulties with directory filtering rules, and a long list of possible users when starting a new chat or @-mentioning someone.
If you're upgrading to 2.4.3, we'll count all existing synchronized users towards your license count, so that everyone who used the service before can continue to use it without any changes to who they see in the "new chat" or @-mention lists. You can manually disable or remove some of these synchronized users if you need to free up seats on your license. When you add new users, they'll only count towards the license once they log in to Hipchat.
