Migrating from 6.4.0 to 6.4.1

Backup database and files

BACKUP. YOUR. DATABASE. AND. FILES.

What’s new?

  • Changes to how emails are sent in background tasks. Previously we recommended using RQ email backend to send all emails asynchronously. From 6.4.1, we have moved this to a higher level so the old DEVILRY_LOWLEVEL_EMAIL_BACKEND has been removed, and we only use the EMAIL_BACKEND setting.

Update devilry to 6.4.1

Update the devilry version to 6.4.1 as described in Update Devilry.

Make sure to make the following changes to settings:

  • EMAIL_BACKEND: Set this to the value you currently have in DEVILRY_LOWLEVEL_EMAIL_BACKEND. Example: EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'.

  • DEVILRY_LOWLEVEL_EMAIL_BACKEND: Remove this setting.
