No changes to settings.yml
Solr 8 config files are now provided at solr/conf for experimentation with upgrading and is the default in the docker-compose development environment. Upgrade tooling and documentation for production environments will be available in a future avalon release. Solr 6 config files are still available at solr/config.
Rails/Blacklight/Bootstrap Upgrades and Styling
This release of Avalon includes upgrades of Rails (5.2 → 6.0), Blacklight (6 → 7), and Bootstrap (3 → 4) which require special attention if your avalon has been customized.
Rails
One of the major changes in Rails is the use of zeitwerk as the code loader. Zeitwerk will warn if any unsafe loading happens in initializers. The solution to this problem is usually to wrap any code which autoloads classes in a Rails.application.config.to_prepare block. For examples see https://github.com/avalonmediasystem/avalon/pull/4657.
Blacklight
Blacklight 7 changes include the upgrade of bootstrap to 4, changes to search builders, and switching the /catalog json endpoints to return standard JSON-API. If you have customized the CatalogController, any of the search builders, or any of the catalog views, you may need to make changes to ensure compatibility. See the Blacklight 7 release notes for more details: https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight/releases/tag/v7.0.0
Bootstrap
If you have overridden or custom views you will probably need to adjust the CSS styling for bootstrap 4. Blacklight has a bootstrap upgrade guide available.
