Caution

Warning: This version of Rundeck updates the libraries used for the built-in H2 database. The new version is not compatible with the old version. There is no mechanism to migrate a database to the new version automatically without including the old, vulnerable libraries.

• If you are using H2 for data storage, the process must be done manually following the details on the Upgrading to 4.1 page.
• If you are not using H2 there may still be errors on boot related to H2. More details on the Upgrading to 4.1 page.
