While we make a huge effort to not break things during updates, when something can't be avoided we will document it here.
The following models will be slightly de-normalized to gain some enhanced performance with some grids. (Those performance enhancements will come in future versions.) Although Rock's PreSave() hooks will ensure the value is set when adding a new item, if you have code that attempts to modify the related property on an existing item, you will need to adjust your code to also take this into account. Also, any code that bypasses the Pre/PostSave operations (SaveChanges( disablePrePostProcessing: true ) or using BulkInsert()) will need to be updated accordingly.

The following libraries were updated for compatibility reasons: RestSharp upgraded from 105.2.3 to 106.12.0 RestSharp.Newtonsoft.Json from 1.0.0 to 1.5.1 If you have a plugin that is using any of these, it will need to be recompiled to use this new version.
The reference between a PersonAlias to a Person has been severed so the PersonAlias.PersonId property is now a nullable int (int?)
PersonAlias.PersonId
int?
Updated Entity Framework to version 6.4.4.
When referencing any DLL directly, you may need to switch the NuGet reference specifically targeting 6.4.4 so that the props file is updated correctly.
The Render() method of the Rock.Badge.BadgeComponent classes has been updated to include IEntity and use TextWriter instead of HtmlTextWriter. This was done to prevent a possible race condition with the Entity and for MS .Net Core compatiblity. The old method still exists in the parent class but is blank so it doesn't do anything. Custom code using Rock's BadgeComponent classes will need to use the new method.

The method Rock.Lava.RockFilters.Trim(object) has moved from the Rock.dll to Rock.Lava.dll. Additionally an optional parameter string textToRemove was added. Code using this method will need to insure the Rock.Lava.dll is referenced in the project and then be recompiled.
Rock.Lava.RockFilters.Trim(object)

Methods that returned type Ical.Net.Event have been changed to return the type Ical.Net.CalendarComponents.CalendarEvent to accomadate an upgrade to Ical. Some of these methods are obsolete as of v12.4 and should be updated regardless.
Ical.Net.Event
Updated workflow attributes to automatically encrypt and decrypt values for the following: Benevolence Request Set Attribute, Group Attribute Set, Group Member Attribute Set, Entity Attribute Set, Lava Run, and SQL Run. Any attribute that uses the EncryptedTextFieldType will also be automatically encrypted and decrypted.
Added .gitignore file to RockWeb\Plugins folder. If you are building plugins from a forked copy of the repository you may need to delete that file in your forked repository.

Removed classes and system GUIDs related to post migration jobs that are no longer needed. These should not be used by any third-party code and should not require any action.
.IsNull() and .IsNotNull() extension methods have been obsoleted.

Updated web.config to allow C# 7.3 language feature in Rock Blocks.
Usage of the older "CurrencySymbol" global attribute is now deprecated starting with v13 (see v12.4 notes below).
In order to load the experimental Rock.Javascript.Obsidian project in the Rock solution, you will need to add the "Node.js development" Workload to Visual Studio:
All property and methods marked RockObsolete "1.8" and older will be removed from Rock. Those marked RockObsolete "1.9" will cause a compile error.
The interface IRockMobileBlockType now implements IRockClientBlockType. This will force the classes implemeting IRockMobileBlockType to implement the method GetBlockInitialization( RockClientType clientType ). This method should return an object containing the mobile block type's configuration.
IRockMobileBlockType
IRockClientBlockType
GetBlockInitialization( RockClientType clientType )
Now that we have moved a number of extension methods (as well as RockDateTime) out of Rock.dll and into Rock.Common.dll, developers will need to include a project dependency/reference to Rock.Common.dll when you (re-)build plugins for Rock v13 or later.
Rock.dll
Rock.Common.dll
In order to achieve a rather substantial performance improvement, we're making a significant changes to the underlying Lava parser. All existing custom Lava filters will break as a result of these changes. If you've created custom Lava filters, please read the Updating Custom Lava Component instructions on what you need to do to be compatible with Rock v13. Contact the core team to discuss questions you have. Also Note: we are no longer going to accept any custom Lava filter plugins in the RockShop.
It will no longer be possible to start from an existing database that is older than version 11 using the develop branch. Why: The EF 'migration squish' we've performed assumes your underlying database is either empty, or has everything up to version 11.0 (release-1.11.0) in it.
develop
release-1.11.0
If you do have a v10.x database (for example) that you wish to move to the develop branch, you should switch to the release-1.11.0 branch first (or release-1.12.0) in order to allow Entity Framework to migrate your database to that level.

The Report Detail block has a new setting called "Add Administrate Security to Item Creator". When this is set to "Yes" then whoever created the Report will automatically have the security permission to edit and administrate it added. The default value for this setting is "No". The behavior of Rock prior to v12.4 was to automatically grant the Report creator "Administrate" and "Edit" permissions. As of v12.4 this will not happen unless the "Add Administrate Security to Item Creator" block setting is set to "Yes". This release does NOT change the security permissions for any existing Reports.
If you would like to run a script to remove the existing "Administrate" and "Edit" permissions granted to the creaters we have some handy SQL scripts!
This script will show all of the Persons where the Person is assigned "Edit" or "Administrate" permission and that same Person created the Report. It will NOT include permissions other than "Edit" or "Administrate", permissions assigned to a role, Disallow permissions, or permissions assigned to a Person that didn't create the Report. The permissions returned by this script are the permissions that the delete script will remove.

We've updated the way the 'unsubscribe' functionality works.

If you are using the SendGrid Email Transport update the plugin from the RockShop immediately after upgrading to Rock v7.
Page view and email activity data has been moved in Rock v7. While we make a huge effort to not break things during updates the transition of this data to new tables may break custom SQL or code that was querying this data from the PageView and/or CommunicationRecipientActivity tables. All of the data has been transitioned to their new home in the Interactions tables so you won't miss a thing. This should impact only a very small number of organizations who have written custom code or SQL against these few tables. Note that since there could be a large amount of data to convert from the old PageView and CommunicationRecipientActivity tables, a Rock Job called 'Move Data from PageViews and Communication Activity to the new Interaction Tables' will run at 4am after v7 is installed. This job could take an hour or so depending on how much data there is.
The external giving blocks have a new 'Give as Business' option which defaults to 'on'. If you don't want your giving blocks to have the 'Give as Business' option, you'll have to change that manually.
There is a new 'Expiring Credit Card Notices' job which is enabled to run at 7:30 AM on the 1st of every month. It can be disabled manually if needed.
The ZebraPhoto lava command was changed to use the R: (DRAM) location due to long term problems with repetitive writing to the E: (Flash) location. Any labels using ZebraPhoto must also change their Recall Graphic (^XG) command to use the R: location too. https://www.rockrms.com/lava/person#zebraphoto
There is a new 'Database Maintenance' job that is enabled to run at 2:30 AM every day by default. If you SQL database already has a maintenance plan, update the 'Database Maintenance' job and/or your SQL Maintenance Plan to do what you want.
Make sure to enable the Google Static Maps API in your Google API Manager dashboard.
A change was made in how group requirement notifications are sent out. Before it would send to all Roles marked 'IsLeader' of the group, with the ability to provide a list of Role Ids to exclude. This has been changed to use the 'Receive Requirements Notifications' property on the Role. If you have setup jobs to send group requirement emails you will want to ensure that you configure the roles you want to receive these emails to have the 'Receive Requirements Notifications' checked.
Staff and Staff-Like roles will be given Edit access to the following group types if those group types do not already have specific 'Edit' roles defined. This is so that staff can add new groups of those types.
ContentChannelView has been updated to not support legacy Lava syntax for accessing global attributes. To enable this, a new "Enable Legacy Global Attribute Lava" block setting needs to be set to true (which negatively affect performance of this block).
Group Attributes now enforce security. Edit each Group Type in General Settings > Group Types, and make sure to set the security on each of the Group Attributes so they can be edited by the appropriate team.
iScroll.js is now included in the RockLibs.js bundle. If you have a custom blocks (i.e. check-in) that is loading iScroll.js, this is no longer needed.
This release fixes a bug where workflow activities marked as inactive were still being processed. If you have any activities where 'Is Active' is not checked they will no longer run even if you use the 'Activate Workflow Activity' action. This action activates an instance of an activity. The activity type however, must be active for this to occur.
Below is a list of all the code changes made in Rock v7 that may potentially affect custom code and/or plugins.
People without birth date will no longer be able to check-in to groups that have an age range requirement. This behavior can be changed by editing the 'Unattended Check-in' workflow, selecting the 'Person Search' activity, then the 'Filter Groups By Age' action, and un-checking the new 'Age Required' option.
Only members of the 'RSR - Data Integrity Worker' will be able to complete person merges. Everyone else will only be able to request merges (new functionality). This can be modified by adding other security roles to have edit access to the merge block.
Security was adjusted on the Website Ads and Bulletin Content Channels to give the 'RSR - Staff Worker' and 'RSR - Staff Like Worker' View/Edit rights.
