Before you upgrade
Two changes in this release can affect a running install. Both are listed as ordinary fixes below, so they are called out here instead.
Session cookies now set Secure on any HTTPS deployment (#1560). Previously Secure was only set when the API and the web app lived on different subdomains, which meant a same-domain HTTPS install was sending its session cookie in the clear. If KANEO_API_URL starts with https:// but your instance is actually reached over plain HTTP, logins will stop working after this upgrade. The fix is to make KANEO_API_URL match how the instance is really served.
Tasks imported without a priority are repaired on startup (#1594). Issues imported from GitHub or Gitea without a priority: label were stored with no priority at all, and the API rejected every later edit of those tasks with a 400. Dragging such a card between columns appeared to work and silently reverted. The migration sets those rows to the default priority and then makes the column NOT NULL, so it cannot happen again. It runs at API startup and needs a brief exclusive lock on the task table, which is worth knowing if your instance has a very large board.
If you are not using the GitHub or Gitea integration, the second one will not match any rows.
