NOTES FOR UPGRADING

To upgrade your Skyve project to this version, change the Skyve version in your pom.xml to 5.0.0 and change your skyve-maven-plugin version to 1.26.

The security.xml file will need to be updated with the latest from Skyve to make sure the protocol can’t be downgraded,.

Any custom xhtml pages will need a new view parameter in the metadata section:

<f:viewParam name="b" value="#{skyve.bindingParameter}" />
