Please be aware that while Forest make every effort to ensure that our platform updates are broadly compatible and offer detailed instructions for upgrading, Forest cannot guarantee that custom code developed by the developers will always be compatible with new versions of our software. This includes any custom modifications or extensions to core functionalities, such as method overrides or custom integrations. It is the responsibility of the developers to review and test their custom code to ensure compatibility with each new version. Our team provides comprehensive upgrade guides to assist in this process, but these cannot encompass the unique customizations that may be present in each customer’s environment. Therefore, Forest strongly recommend establishing a thorough testing protocol for your specific customizations to safeguard against potential issues during the upgrade process.
- Support polymorphic associations
Upgrading to v9
As for any dependency upgrade, it’s very important to test this upgrade in your testing environments. Not doing so could result in your admin panel being unusable.
In case of a regression introduced in Production after the upgrade, a rollback to your previous agent version 8 is the fastest way to restore your admin panel.
Breaking changes
This new version introduces support for polymorphic associations.
It’s now easier to create or update polymorphic associations using the polymorphic record selection component.
You can now navigate between related records through the related link.
The <record>_type and <record>_id fields are no longer returned by the API. As a result, if you have set up a segment, scope, smart action or any others features that uses these fields, they will no longer work.
