Upgrade notes
If you are using MySQL or MariaDB, please ensure that default row format is set to dynamic, otherwise, you may get an error like this during upgrade:
Error creating bean with name 'liquibase' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/liquibase/LiquibaseAutoConfiguration$LiquibaseConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is liquibase.exception.LiquibaseException: liquibase.exception.MigrationFailedException: Migration failed for change set de/tudarmstadt/ukp/inception/preferences/model/db-changelog.xml::20210925-1::INCEpTION Team:

To set the default row format, you can add these settings to your MySQL/MariaDB config file and then restart the database:
