Some versions introduce changes that require special attention when upgrading: e.g., there is a new service to install, or there is a change to the default configuration that you might need to override in order to preserve the old behavior.

(Note to developers: Add new items at the top. Include a relevant commit hash (probably a merge), date, issue number/link, and considerations/instructions for those about to upgrade.)

2015-11-04: commit:1d1c6de removes stopped containers (see #7444)





    18
    
    
    
* arvados-docker-cleaner removes _all_ docker containers as soon as they exit, effectively making @docker run@ default to @--rm@. If you run arvados-docker-cleaner on a host that does anything other than run crunch-jobs, and you still want to be able to use @docker start@, read the "new doc page":http://doc.arvados.org/install/install-compute-node.html to learn how to turn this off before upgrading.

2015-11-04: commit:21006cf adds a keep-web service (see #5824)

* Nothing relies on it yet, but early adopters can install it now by following http://doc.arvados.org/install/install-keep-web.html (it is not yet linked in the TOC).
