+=== 3. Upgrade the Trac Environment #UpgradetheTracEnvironment
 
 Environment upgrades are not necessary for minor version releases unless otherwise noted. 
 
 After restarting, Trac should show the instances which need a manual upgrade via the automated upgrade scripts to ease the pain. These scripts are run via [TracAdmin trac-admin]:
-{{{
+{{{#!sh
 trac-admin /path/to/projenv upgrade
 }}}
 
-This command will do nothing if the environment is already up-to-date.
-
-Note that a backup of your database will be performed automatically prior to the upgrade. 
-This feature is relatively new for the PostgreSQL or MySQL database backends, so if it fails, you will have to backup the database manually. Then, to perform the actual upgrade, run:

+=== 6. Steps specific to a given Trac version
+
+==== Upgrading from Trac 1.0 to 1.2 #to1.2
+
+===== Python 2.5 no longer supported
+
+Upgrade Python to at least 2.6 or 2.7, but not 3.0 or greater.
+
+===== Obsolete Plugins
+
+Trac has added functionality equivalent to the following plugins:
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AdminEnumListPlugin AdminEnumListPlugin]
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/DateFieldPlugin DateFieldPlugin]: see the **time** [TracTicketsCustomFields#AvailableFieldTypesandOptions custom field type]
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GroupBasedRedirectionPlugin GroupBasedRedirectionPlugin]: the default handler can set as a user preference.
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/LinenoMacro LinenoMacro]: see WikiProcessors#AvailableProcessors
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/NeverNotifyUpdaterPlugin NeverNotifyUpdaterPlugin]: see [TracNotification#notification-subscriber-section notification subscribers]
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/QueryUiAssistPlugin QueryUiAssistPlugin]: see TracQuery#Filters.
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketCreationStatusPlugin TicketCreationStatusPlugin]: see [#NewWorkflowActions]
+
+The plugins should be removed when upgrading Trac to 1.2.
+
+===== New workflow actions #NewWorkflowActions
+
+The ticket creation step is controlled with a [TracWorkflow#TicketCreateAction workflow action]. The default workflow has `create` and `create_and_assign` actions. The `create` action will always be added when upgrading the database. The `create_and_assign` action will be added if the workflow has an //assigned// state. You may want to edit your workflow after upgrading the database to customize the actions available on the //New Ticket// page.
+
+===== New permissions policy for read-only wiki pages
+
+Since 1.1.2 the read-only attribute of wiki pages is enabled and enforced only when `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` is in the list of active permission policies. If `[trac] permission_policy` has the default value `DefaultPermissionPolicy, LegacyAttachmentPolicy`, then `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` should be automatically appended to the list when upgrading the environment:
+{{{#!ini
+[trac]
+permission_policies = ReadonlyWikiPolicy,
+ DefaultPermissionPolicy,
+ LegacyAttachmentPolicy
+}}}
+
+If other permission policies are enabled, `trac.ini` will need to have `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` appended to the list of active `permission_policies`. See TracFineGrainedPermissions#ReadonlyWikiPolicy for additional details on the proper ordering.
+
+==== Upgrading from Trac 0.12 to Trac 1.0 #to1.0
+
+===== Python 2.4 no longer supported
+
+Upgrade Python to at least 2.5, but not 3.0.
+
+===== Obsolete Plugins
+
+Trac has added functionality equivalent to the following plugins:
+
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/BatchModifyPlugin BatchModifyPlugin]
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GitPlugin GitPlugin]
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/OverrideEditPlugin OverrideEditPlugin]
+
+The plugins should be removed when upgrading Trac to 1.0.
+
+===== Subversion components not enabled by default for new installations
 
 The Trac components for Subversion support are no longer enabled by default. To enable the svn support, you need to make sure the `tracopt.versioncontrol.svn` components are enabled, for example by setting the following in the TracIni:
-{{{
+{{{#!ini
 [components]
 tracopt.versioncontrol.svn.* = enabled
 }}}
+
 The upgrade procedure should take care of this and change the TracIni appropriately, unless you already had the svn components explicitly disabled.
 
-Another step in the automatic upgrade will change the way the attachments are stored. If you're a bit paranoid, you might want to take a backup of the `attachments` directory before upgrading (but if you are, you already did a full copy of the environment, no?). In case the `attachments` directory contains some files which are //not// attachments, the last step of the migration to the new layout will fail: the deletion of the now unused `attachments` directory can't be done if there are still files and folders in it. You may ignore this error, but better go have a look to these files, move them elsewhere and remove the `attachments` directory manually to cleanup the environment. The attachments themselves are now all located in your environment below the `files/attachments` directory.

+
+===== Behavior of `[ticket] default_owner` changed
+
+Prior to 1.0, the owner field of new tickets always defaulted to `[ticket] default_owner` when the value was not empty. If the value was empty, the owner field defaulted to to the Component's owner. In 1.0 and later, the `default_owner` must be set to `< default >` to make new tickets default to the Component's owner. This change allows the `default_owner` to be set to an empty value if no default owner is desired.

+
+===== Python 2.3 no longer supported
+

+
+===== SQLite v3.x required
+
 SQLite v2.x is no longer supported. If you still use a Trac database of this format, you'll need to convert it to SQLite v3.x first. See [trac:PySqlite#UpgradingSQLitefrom2.xto3.x] for details.
 
-===== PySqlite 2 required =====
-PySqlite 1.1.x is no longer supported. Please install 2.5.5 or later if possible (see [#Tracdatabaseupgrade Trac database upgrade] below).

+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/RepoRevisionSyntaxPlugin RepoRevisionSyntaxPlugin] (added in 0.12.1)
+
+The plugins should be removed when upgrading Trac to 0.12.
+
+===== Multiple Repository Support
+
 The latest version includes support for multiple repositories. If you plan to add more repositories to your Trac instance, please refer to TracRepositoryAdmin#Migration.
 
-This may be of interest to users with only one repository, since there's now a way to avoid the potentially costly resync check at every request.
-
-===== Resynchronize the Trac Environment Against the Source Code Repository =====
-
-Each [TracEnvironment Trac environment] must be resynchronized against the source code repository in order to avoid errors such as "[http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/6120 No changeset ??? in the repository]" while browsing the source through the Trac interface:

 }}}
 
-===== Improved repository synchronization =====
+===== Improved repository synchronization
+
 In addition to supporting multiple repositories, there is now a more efficient method for synchronizing Trac and your repositories.
 
 While you can keep the same synchronization as in 0.11 adding the post-commit hook as outlined in TracRepositoryAdmin#Synchronization and TracRepositoryAdmin#ExplicitSync will allow more efficient synchronization and is more or less required for multiple repositories.
 
-Note that if you were using the `trac-post-commit-hook`, ''you're strongly advised to upgrade it'' to the new hook documented in the above references, as the old hook will not work with anything else than the default repository and even for this case, it won't trigger the appropriate notifications.
-
-===== Authz permission checking =====
-The authz permission checking has been migrated to a fine-grained permission policy. If you use authz permissions (aka `[trac] authz_file` and `authz_module_name`), you must add `AuthzSourcePolicy` in front of your permission policies in `[trac] permission_policies`. You must also remove `BROWSER_VIEW`, `CHANGESET_VIEW`, `FILE_VIEW` and `LOG_VIEW` from your global permissions (with `trac-admin $ENV permission remove` or the "Permissions" admin panel).
-
-===== Microsecond timestamps =====
-All timestamps in database tables (except the `session` table) have been changed from "seconds since epoch" to "microseconds since epoch" values. This change should be transparent to most users, except for custom reports. If any of your reports use date/time columns in calculations (e.g. to pass them to `datetime()`), you must divide the values retrieved from the database by 1'000'000. Similarly, if a report provides a calculated value to be displayed as a date/time (i.e. with a column named "time", "datetime", "changetime", "date", "created" or "modified"), you must provide a microsecond timestamp, that is, multiply your previous calculation with 1'000'000.

+
+==== Upgrading from Trac 0.10 to Trac 0.11
+
+===== Site Templates and Styles
+
 The templating engine has changed in 0.11 to Genshi, please look at TracInterfaceCustomization for more information.
 
-If you are using custom CSS styles or modified templates in the `templates` directory of the TracEnvironment, you will need to convert them to the Genshi way of doing things. To continue to use your style sheet, follow the instructions at TracInterfaceCustomization#SiteAppearance.
-
-===== Trac Macros, Plugins =====
-The Trac macros will need to be adapted, as the old-style wiki-macros are not supported anymore (due to the drop of [trac:ClearSilver] and the HDF); they need to be converted to the new-style macros, see WikiMacros. When they are converted to the new style, they need to be placed into the plugins directory instead and not wiki-macros, which is no longer scanned for macros or plugins.

+===== Web Admin plugin integrated
+
+If you had the [trac:WebAdmin] plugin installed, you can uninstall it as it is part of the Trac code base since 0.11.
+
+===== New Default Configurable Workflow
+
+When you run `trac-admin <env> upgrade`, your `trac.ini` will be modified to include a `[ticket-workflow]` section. The workflow configured in this case is the original workflow, so that ticket actions will behave like they did in 0.10:
+
+{{{#!Workflow width=500 height=240
+leave = * -> *
+leave.operations = leave_status
+leave.default = 1
+accept = new -> assigned

+reassign.permissions = TICKET_MODIFY
+reassign.operations = set_owner
+reopen = closed -> reopened
+reopen.permissions = TICKET_CREATE
+reopen.operations = del_resolution
+}}}
+
+There are some significant caveats in this, such as accepting a ticket sets it to 'assigned' state, and assigning a ticket sets it to 'new' state. So you will probably want to migrate to "basic" workflow; [trac:source:trunk/contrib/workflow/migrate_original_to_basic.py contrib/workflow/migrate_original_to_basic.py] may be helpful. See TracWorkflow for a detailed description of the new basic workflow.

+=== 7. Restart the Web Server #RestarttheWebServer
 
 If you are not running [wiki:TracCgi CGI], reload the new Trac code by restarting your web server.

-Things you should pay attention to, while upgrading.
+== Known Issues
 
 === Customized Templates
 
-Trac supports customization of its Genshi templates by placing copies of the templates in the `<env>/templates` folder of your [TracEnvironment environment] or in a common location specified in the [[TracIni#GlobalConfiguration| [inherit] templates_dir]] configuration setting. If you choose to do so, be wary that you will need to repeat your changes manually on a copy of the new templates when you upgrade to a new release of Trac (even a minor one), as the templates will likely evolve. So keep a diff around ;-)
-
-The preferred way to perform TracInterfaceCustomization is to write a custom plugin doing an appropriate `ITemplateStreamFilter` transformation, as this is more robust in case of changes: we usually won't modify element `id`s or change CSS `class`es, and if we have to do so, this will be documented in the TracDev/ApiChanges pages.
-
-=== !ZipImportError ===
-
-Due to internal caching of zipped packages,  whenever the content of the packages change on disk, the in-memory zip index will no longer match and you'll get irrecoverable !ZipImportError errors. Better anticipate and bring your server down for maintenance before upgrading.
