  • Note that LORIS 16.0 is only supported for PHP 5.6

Module support changes:

  • Create a project/modules/ directory to house any code that overrides existing modules
  • Partial override under project/ is disallowed for modules. Modules can be customized either in the main codebase (not recommended), or by copying all files for that module into project/modules/$givenModule/ and modifying files as desired. All files for this module will then be sourced from project/modules/$givenModule/ even if no modification has been made (e.g. the JavaScript may be unaffected). At the next release, merge all code changes on this module from the main codebase.
  • Configuration settings: Study Description #1438 and External Links #1367 fields moved to the Configuration module. Update your new Config table setting with the value currently stored in project/config.xml within the given tagsets, and then remove these tag sections from project/config.xml
  • Reliability module files must be moved #1409
  • Imaging Projects: Note all Loris-MRI 16.0 Release notes, including updating to the Loris-MRI release branch, manual installation of minc toolkit, and a required update to config.xml
  • DQT should update seamlessly to new GUI, housed as a module within LORIS. LORIS menu will point to new DQT skin but old DQT interface will still be accessible. Old queries from the DQT should port seamlessly to the new GUI, however new queries using OR logic will not be backwards compatible to old DQT.
  • Apache mod rewrite now required for rewriting Pretty URLs
  • Apache configuration should enable Rewrite rules by setting AllowOverride All
    Ubuntu apache config file: /etc/apache2/sites-available/$projectname.conf
    CentOS apache config file: /etc/httpd/conf.d/apache-site.conf

Significant MySQL updates:

  • Imaging: Selected field has moved to files_qcstatus table. Data will not deleted by release upgrade - to clean old records, run Commented lines in MySQL patch line 278. Also update custom queries using Selected field accordingly.
  • Genomics: many improvements to MySQL table definitions. Back up and then carefully update tables.

Known Issues / Beta

  • For Genomic file upload, Config:GenomicDataPath/genomic_uploader/ must be writable by Apache (www-data)
  • Instrument Manager in Beta
  • One-click Download disabled
