Potential Backwards Compatibility Issues
Java 7 no longer supported. Starting with version 15.2, LabKey Server no longer supports Java 7. Please upgrade to Java 8. (docs)
PostgreSQL 9.0.x no longer supported. We recommend upgrading to the latest point release of PostgreSQL 9.4.x. (docs)
Email Notification for Specimen Requests. After upgrading to 15.2, existing studies may need to have their specimen email notifications reconfigured. To do this, go the study in question, click the Manage tab and click Manage Notifications (near the bottom of the page). Inside the text boxes Notify of New Requests and Always CC, hit the Enter key in between each email entry. Failing to reconfigure the notifications in this way may result in notifications being sent to only the first email address in each list.
Email Unregistered Addresses: In LABKEY.Message, the parameter 'allowUnregisteredUser' (which allowed logged-in users to send emails to unregistered addresses) has been deprecated. In version 15.2, an administrator must enable email to unregistered addresses by assigning the role "Email Non-Users" to some user or group. (docs)
