- Users will need to have 'wcag' role to access the WCAG Compliance Auditor (previously was report_viewer). Grant access in Admin UI under Manage Users.
- WCAG databases from earlier un-bundled accessibility checker versions must be upgraded by running the following
# Linux
$SEARCH_HOME/linbin/java/bin/java -cp "$SEARCH_HOME/lib/java/all/*" com.funnelback.wcag.database.AccessibilityDatabaseUpgrade collection_name
# Windows
%SEARCH_HOME%\wbin\java\bin\java -cp %SEARCH_HOME%\lib\java\all\^*" com.funnelback.wcag.database.AccessibilityDatabaseUpgrade collection_name
- Custom collections no longer preserve data between crawls by default. Collections which need to preserve data will need to implement that behavior the

file. - The
