Important upgrade notes
An in-place upgrade from INCEpTION 0.15.2 to 0.16.0 for deployment is generally possible.
For deployments using AJP and Apache Webserver 2.5 or higher: to use the advanced AJP secret, follow the section in the admin guide [6].
For deployments using AJP and Apache Webserver 2.4 or lower: you need to disable the AJP secret by setting server.ajp.port (replaces tomcat.ajp.port) and server.ajp.address properties as described in the admin guide [6] and also set server.ajp.secret-required=false.
Back up your data before the upgrade [4].
