Important upgrade notes
An in-place upgrade from INCEpTION 21.4 to 21.5 is possible.
Back up your data before the upgrade [4].
If you upgrade from a version older than 20.0, please check the update notes for INCEpTION 20.0 [7].
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:
