Upgrading
=========
This page is here to help you upgrading from previous versions of `Burp-UI`_ to
the latest version.
Each section presents major/breaking changes, new requirements and new options.
For a complete list of changes, you may refer to the
`CHANGELOG <changelog.html>`_ page.
v0.6.0
------
- **Breaking** - The *BASIC* ``ACL`` engine will now grant users on all agents
if they are not explicitly defined. It means that if you have a user called
``example1`` with two agents (burp servers in multi-agent mode) on which you
have respectively two clients called ``example1``, the user ``example1`` will
be granted on both clients on the two agents. You can disable this behavior
with the ``legacy`` option. See the
`BASIC ACL <advanced_usage.html#basic-acl>`__ documentation for details.
- **Breaking** - The *Burp1* and *Burp2* configuration sections have been merged
into one single *Burp* section. See the
`Versions <advanced_usage.html#versions>`__ documentation for details.
- **Breaking** - The *running* backups are now displayed in ``green`` instead of
``blue``.
- **New** - Plugin system to enhance ACL and Authentication backends. See the
`Plugins <plugins.html>`__ documentation for details.
- **New** - WebSocket support for better/smarter notifications.
- **New** - Client configuration templates.
v0.5.0
------
- **Breaking** - The *standalone* option has been renamed to *single* to avoid
confusion.
- **Breaking** - The ``bui-agent`` has now its own independent package to reduce
dependencies, you can install it with the ``pip install burp-ui-agent``
command. Alternatively, there is now a ``bui-agent-legacy`` command provided
by the ``burp-ui`` package.
- **Breaking** - The database schema evolved between *v0.4.0* and *v0.5.0*. In
order to apply these modifications, you **MUST** run the
``bui-manage db upgrade`` command before restarting your `Burp-UI`_
application (if you are using celery, you must restart it too).
- **New** - The `bui-manage <manage.html>`__ tool brings two new commands:
- ``diag`` whose documentation is available `here <manage.html#diag>`__
- ``sysinfo`` whose documentation is available `here <manage.html#sysinfo>`__
More details on the `Manage <manage.html>`__ and `Celery <celery.html>`__
pages.
v0.4.0
------
- **Breaking** - Due to the use of the new Flask's embedded server, it is no
longer possible to serve the application over SSL (HTTPS) anymore from within
the Flask's server. You'll need to use a dedicated application server for this
purpose such as `gunicorn <gunicorn.html>`_ or a reverse-proxy.
The *bind* and *port* option have also been removed due to the same reason.
Or you can use the ``python -m burpui -m legacy [--help]`` command that
**SHOULD** be backward compatible (but note that no further support will be
provided since it is not the Flask's default behavior anymore).
- **Breaking** - The database schema evolved between *v0.3.0* and *v0.4.0*. In
order to apply these modifications, you **MUST** run the
``bui-manage db upgrade`` command before restarting your `Burp-UI`_
application (if you are using celery, you must restart it too).
More details on the `Manage <manage.html>`__ and `Celery <celery.html>`__
pages.
- **Breaking** - Plain text passwords are deprecated since *v0.3.0* and are now
disabled by default. It means you should not manually add new users in your
burp-ui configuration anymore with ``login = password`` but you should now use
the `bui-manage <manage.html>`__ command instead.
- **Breaking** - The default *version* setting has been set to ``2`` instead of
``1`` since burp-2.0.54 is now the stable release.
- **New** - The ``bui-manage`` tool can now help you setup both `Burp`_ and
`Burp-UI`_.
- **New** - The SQL requirements have evolved, you **MUST** run
``pip install --upgrade "burp-ui[sql]"`` if you wish to keep using persistent
storage.
v0.3.0
------
- **New** - ``bui-manage`` tool: This tool is used to setup database (see
`Manage <manage.html>`__).
- **New** - ``bui-celery`` tool: This tool is used to run a celery runner (see
`Celery <celery.html>`__).
- **Breaking** - Configuration file format changed. Colons (:) must be replaced
by equals (=). Besides, some settings containing spaces should be surrounded
by quotes. *Note*: The conversion is mostly automatic, but you should keep an
eye on it though.
- **New** - Basic authentication backend now supports hashed passwords (*Note*:
plain text passwords are now deprecated and the support will be dropped in
*v0.4.0*). You can create new users with the ``bui-manage`` tool, passwords
generated through this tool are hashed. *Note*: Starting with *v0.4.0*, plain
text passwords will be automatically hashed.
- **New** - Local authentication backend allows you to login using local
accounts through pam.
