Quick note just to let everyone know that LabKey Server's automatic upgrade process is becoming somewhat more automatic starting with the 16.1 release. Previously, the server would upgrade the core module at server startup, but would wait for an administrator login before upgrading other modules or initiating module startup. A trunk commit last week changed the server to initiate upgrade and startup of all modules at server startup time. Administrators can still log in to view upgrade/startup progress, but the server will no longer wait for a login.

This change streamlines the startup process, simplifies upgrade code, and facilitates scripted upgrades of LabKey Server. We suspect most administrators won't notice a difference, but let us know if you have any questions or concerns about this change.

Thanks, Adam
