v1.6.0 Crusher

Upgrade notes

In this version of Janeway, we have bumped the Django version to the most recent LTS version of 4.2. If you are using third party libraries for Django on your installation of Janeway, it is important that you verify they support Django 4.2 before upgrading. Some key highlights that might affect some Janeway users are the following:

• Postgres users: Django now supports pyscopg3. pyscopg2 is still supported but planned to be retired [see notes]
• MySQL users: MySQL 5.x has been deprecated. If you happen to still be running an old version of MySQL you will need to upgrade to 8.x [See blogpost from MySQL team]
• Many Janeway plugins have been updated as a result of the upgrade.
• The minimum python version supported is now 3.10+ (from 3.9 in Janeway v.1.5.6)
• Django's CSRF validator now checks the Origin header. If you are running Janeway behind a proxy or running journals behind a subdomain you may need to add them to your settings.py

As a result of this upgrade, all dependencies on requirements.txt have been also bumped were required compatibility changes with Django 4.2 were necessary. Another side-effect of this upgrade is that

Once you have verified and upgraded any custom python/Django dependencies the shell script .update.sh should be run as usual.
