Please read the steps below to upgrade your system. Not following these steps could break your instance of BETY.

Password encryption

The previous versions of BETY would ignore the environment variable SECRET_KEY_BASE and use the default value defined in config/defaults.yml. If you have set SECRET_KEY_BASE and upgrade BETY you will not be able to login anymore!. It is best to remove SECRET_KEY_BASE if set and default back to the default SECRET_KEY_BASE.

This release requires a migration.

2. cd to the Rails root directory.

   touch tmp/restart.txt
