3. Breaking Changes❗

3.1 Removed Deprecated APIs

As mentioned in the changelog, with this release, we’ve removed a couple of backend JavaScript APIs that were marked as deprecated in previous releases.

Essentially, we’ve removed a couple of older methods used for subscribing to lifecycle events and also for performing Headless CMS-related security permissions checks.

Before deploying, please refer to the separate Deprecated APIs article, and make sure to update your project code, if need be.

4. Deploy Your Project

Proceed by redeploying your Webiny project:

Make sure you deploy the entire system using the command shown above! You have to deploy all apps before using the system. Partial deploys will cause the upgrade to be applied incorrectly.

As stated in the Upgrade Webiny section, we recommend that you first deploy your changes into one of your pre-production environments, like dev or staging.
