For upgrades from versions prior to 2022.2: a two step upgrade process must be followed. Please upgrade to 2023.1 first, then upgrade to 2023.2. If the two step process is not followed, then the connections will not be properly imported from the Synchronization Policy. |
| Note |

Starting with 2023.2.3, older SSL certificates used by the Web Portal for HTTPS may no longer work with Vera. This is due to Node.js no longer supporting certificates using the RC2 ciphers. When upgrading, make sure to create a new certificate PFX file with a supported cipher. |
We introduced new containers to improve performance. The deployment script (e.q. docker-compose-yml) needs to be updated to include the new images. Please see Upgrade the Vera Server Applications for more information.
