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.
