Incompatible changes
When you update to IDM 7.5.0 from the last major version, the following changes may impact existing deployments. Adjust existing scripts, files, clients, and so on, as necessary.
If you are upgrading from an older release, review the changed functionality from all releases after your current version of IDM:
Workflow engine upgrade
The Flowable embedded workflow engine has been upgraded to version 6.8.0. If you are upgrading from a previous version of IDM and use workflow, this upgrade requires one or more incremental upgrade scripts. For more information, refer to Upgrade an existing repository.
Array schema fields default to item type string
Schema fields defined as type array are required to have an item type defined as of IDM 7.4.0. IDM 7.5.0 defaults the item type to string to avoid startup issues if the type is not defined.
populateDefaults flag removed from secrets configuration
The sample secrets configuration (secrets.json) no longer includes the populateDefaults flag. It is safe to remove this from your secrets configuration.
Java 17 required
Running IDM requires Java 17. For more information, refer to Java requirements.
Legacy hashing algorithms removed from the Admin UI
MD5 and SHA-1 are supported for legacy reasons, but should not be used in production environments and have been removed from the Admin UI. For more information, refer to Salted hash algorithms.
