 === 6. Steps specific to a given Trac version
 
+==== Upgrading from Trac 1.0 to 1.2 #to1.2
+
+===== Python 2.5 no longer supported
+
+Upgrade Python to at least 2.6 or 2.7, but not 3.0 or greater.
+
+===== Obsolete Plugins
+
+Trac has added functionality equivalent to the following plugins:
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AdminEnumListPlugin AdminEnumListPlugin]
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/DateFieldPlugin DateFieldPlugin]: see the **time** [TracTicketsCustomFields#AvailableFieldTypesandOptions custom field type]
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GroupBasedRedirectionPlugin GroupBasedRedirectionPlugin]: the default handler can set as a user preference.
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/LinenoMacro LinenoMacro]: see WikiProcessors#AvailableProcessors
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/NeverNotifyUpdaterPlugin NeverNotifyUpdaterPlugin]: see [TracNotification#notification-subscriber-section notification subscribers]
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/QueryUiAssistPlugin QueryUiAssistPlugin]: see TracQuery#Filters.
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketCreationStatusPlugin TicketCreationStatusPlugin]: see [#NewWorkflowActions]
+
+The plugins should be removed when upgrading Trac to 1.2.
+
+===== New workflow actions #NewWorkflowActions
+
+The ticket creation step is controlled with a [TracWorkflow#TicketCreateAction workflow action]. The default workflow has `create` and `create_and_assign` actions. The `create` action will always be added when upgrading the database. The `create_and_assign` action will be added if the workflow has an //assigned// state. You may want to edit your workflow after upgrading the database to customize the actions available on the //New Ticket// page.
+
+===== New permissions policy for read-only wiki pages
+
+Since 1.1.2 the read-only attribute of wiki pages is enabled and enforced only when `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` is in the list of active permission policies. If `[trac] permission_policy` has the default value `DefaultPermissionPolicy, LegacyAttachmentPolicy`, then `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` should be automatically appended to the list when upgrading the environment:
+{{{#!ini
+[trac]
+permission_policies = ReadonlyWikiPolicy,
+ DefaultPermissionPolicy,
+ LegacyAttachmentPolicy
+}}}
+
+If other permission policies are enabled, `trac.ini` will need to have `ReadonlyWikiPolicy` appended to the list of active `permission_policies`. See TracFineGrainedPermissions#ReadonlyWikiPolicy for additional details on the proper ordering.
+
+===== Navigation Ordering Moved
+
+The mainnav and metanav configuration ordering have
+been moved from `[trac]` `mainnav` and `[trac]` `metanav` to the `[mainnav]` and `[metanav]` sections. The ordering is now specified using the `order` attribute as described in [TracNavigation#nav-order TracNavigation].
+
+The new configuration values will be written to trac.ini on upgrade, preserving the navigation order for the environment. You may need to edit trac.ini
+if you use a shared [TracIni#GlobalConfiguration global configuration].
+For example, if you wish to specify the navigation ordering for several environments in `global.ini`, you'll
+need to add the `[mainnav]` and `[metanav]` sections
+in that file and delete those sections from each
+environment's trac.ini.
+
 ==== Upgrading from Trac 0.12 to Trac 1.0 #to1.0
 
 ===== Python 2.4 no longer supported
+
 Upgrade Python to at least 2.5, but not 3.0.
 
+===== Obsolete Plugins
+
+Trac has added functionality equivalent to the following plugins:
+
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/BatchModifyPlugin BatchModifyPlugin]
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/GitPlugin GitPlugin]
+* [https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/OverrideEditPlugin OverrideEditPlugin]
+
+The plugins should be removed when upgrading Trac to 1.0.
+
 ===== Subversion components not enabled by default for new installations
+
 The Trac components for Subversion support are no longer enabled by default. To enable the svn support, you need to make sure the `tracopt.versioncontrol.svn` components are enabled, for example by setting the following in the TracIni:
 {{{#!ini
@@ -85 +141 @@
 tracopt.versioncontrol.svn.* = enabled
 }}}
+
 The upgrade procedure should take care of this and change the TracIni appropriately, unless you already had the svn components explicitly disabled.
 
 ===== Attachments migrated to new location
+
 Another step in the automatic upgrade will change the way the attachments are stored. Create a backup of the `attachments` directory before upgrading. In case the `attachments` directory contains some files which are //not// attachments, the last step of the migration to the new layout will fail: the deletion of the now unused `attachments` directory can't be done if there are still files and folders in it. You may ignore this error, but better to move them elsewhere and remove the `attachments` directory manually. The attachments themselves are now all located in your environment below the `files/attachments` directory.
 
 ===== Behavior of `[ticket] default_owner` changed
+
 Prior to 1.0, the owner field of new tickets always defaulted to `[ticket] default_owner` when the value was not empty. If the value was empty, the owner field defaulted to to the Component's owner. In 1.0 and later, the `default_owner` must be set to `< default >` to make new tickets default to the Component's owner. This change allows the `default_owner` to be set to an empty value if no default owner is desired.

 ===== Python 2.3 no longer supported
+
 The minimum supported version of Python is now 2.4.
 
 ===== SQLite v3.x required
+
 SQLite v2.x is no longer supported. If you still use a Trac database of this format, you'll need to convert it to SQLite v3.x first. See [trac:PySqlite#UpgradingSQLitefrom2.xto3.x] for details.
 
 ===== [trac:PySqlite] 2 required
+
 [trac:PySqlite] 1.1.x is no longer supported. Please install 2.5.5 or later if possible, see [#Tracdatabaseupgrade Trac database upgrade] below.

 ===== Authz permission checking
+
 The authz permission checking has been migrated to a fine-grained permission policy. If you use authz permissions (aka `[trac] authz_file` and `authz_module_name`), you must add `AuthzSourcePolicy` in front of your permission policies in `[trac] permission_policies`. You must also remove `BROWSER_VIEW`, `CHANGESET_VIEW`, `FILE_VIEW` and `LOG_VIEW` from your global permissions with `trac-admin $ENV permission remove` or the "Permissions" admin panel.
 
 ===== Microsecond timestamps
+
 All timestamps in database tables, except the `session` table, have been changed from "seconds since epoch" to "microseconds since epoch" values. This change should be transparent to most users, except for custom reports. If any of your reports use date/time columns in calculations (e.g. to pass them to `datetime()`), you must divide the values retrieved from the database by 1'000'000. Similarly, if a report provides a calculated value to be displayed as a date/time (i.e. with a column named "time", "datetime", "changetime", "date", "created" or "modified"), you must provide a microsecond timestamp, that is, multiply your previous calculation with 1'000'000.
 
 ==== Upgrading from Trac 0.10 to Trac 0.11

 The Trac macros will need to be adapted, as the old-style wiki-macros are not supported anymore due to the drop of [trac:ClearSilver] and the HDF. They need to be converted to the new-style macros, see WikiMacros. When they are converted to the new style, they need to be placed into the plugins directory instead and not wiki-macros, which is no longer scanned for macros or plugins.

 ===== New Default Configurable Workflow

-There are some significant caveats in this, such as accepting a ticket sets it to 'assigned' state, and assigning a ticket sets it to 'new' state.

See TracWorkflow for a detailed description of the new basic workflow.

-===== Global Configuration
-In versions prior to 0.11, the global configuration was by default located in `$prefix/share/trac/conf/trac.ini` or `/etc/trac/trac.ini`, depending on the distribution. You may want to specify that file to inherit from when upgrading.  Literally, when upgrading you have to add an `[inherit]` section to your project's `trac.ini` file. Additionally, you have to move your customized templates and common images from `$prefix/share/trac/...` to the new location.

 Trac supports customization of its Genshi templates by placing copies of the templates in the `<env>/templates` folder of your [TracEnvironment environment] or in a common location specified in the [[TracIni#GlobalConfiguration| [inherit] templates_dir]] configuration setting. If you choose to do so, be aware that you will need to repeat your changes manually on a copy of the new templates when you upgrade to a new release of Trac (even a minor one), as the templates will likely evolve. So keep a diff around.
 
-The preferred way to perform TracInterfaceCustomization is to write a custom plugin doing an appropriate `ITemplateStreamFilter` transformation, as this is more robust in case of changes: we usually won't modify element `id`s or change CSS `class`es, and if we have to do so, this will be documented in the [trac:TracDev/ApiChanges] pages.
