New flipflop migration

$ bin/rails sufia:install:migrations
$ rake db:migrate

Changed default layout

If you are using the sufia-one-column layout it has been moved: app/views/layouts/sufia-one-column.html.erb → app/views/layouts/curation_concerns/1_column.html.erb

Check your application.rb for layout 'sufia-one-column' and replace it with with_themed_layout '1_column'.

In addition if you have overridden sufia-one-column in your application you should move your override to the new location.

Remove unneeded table (optional)

Sufia no longer includes acts_as_follower so if you're upgrading, and you don't want to keep this data, you can add a migration to remove the table:

class DropFollows < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    drop_table :follows
  end
end

Ordering changes

#2479 brought Rails 5 support to Sufia, and also brought support for RDF 2 which ends a long-standing bug in ActiveFedora that returns RDF statements in a predictable, and not directly alterable, order. In other words, if an item has more than one title, the first title may change whenever the item is loaded.

A workaround for preserving the old behavior is to add gem 'rdf', '~> 1.99' to your Gemfile, and ordering will be preserved.

Blocked by

• Release of AF 10.3 (which is blocked by Accept attributes that have the correct methods samvera/active_fedora#1140)
• Allow using ActiveFedora 10 / ActiveTriples 0.7 / RDF 1.99 curation_concerns#912
• A generator to generate the new db migration into applications

[mjgiarlo]

@jcoyne Now we just need a release of AF 10.3 -- those two PRs have been merged.

[jcoyne]

AF 10.3.0.rc1 has been released and it seems to work, so I'll push 10.3.0.

[mjgiarlo]

Need to include the new db migration that drops the follows table in the upgrade process. New generator?

[jcoyne]

I don't think we need to drop that table. Someone might want to keep it locally. However, we should remove the up migration if it's no longer needed.

[jcoyne]

See #2677
