Upgrading

Upgrading from 2.5 should not cause any issues. Some new database fields were added, and a new database table was added.

Compatibility

Some changes to Job serialization formats:

• The project name is no longer included in exported Job definitions.
• In YAML: options are now always serialized as a sequence, and will preserve the sequence order on input. The original Map format is still allowed on import.
