Cautions

Pyramid 2025.03 includes a number of changes to existing capabilities. As such, Pyramid recommends that the new release be tested on a duplicate version of an existing content database repository before any production upgrades are applied.

Further, a database repository backup should be made before upgrading any production systems and repositories.

Upgrading from Pyramid 2018 or 2020

There are changes to the upgrade process when upgrading to 2025.03 from older instances of Pyramid (versions 2018 and 2020) due to the hardening of security technologies in the application.

The first impact will be during the installation process - where a special one-time upgrade engine will auto-upgrade old content in the repository. This process will run automatically in the background and will only affect content that has not been upgraded from 2018 or 2020. The instance will be fully functional and accessible during the upgrade process - however, old content will be inaccessible until the process is complete. This exercise does not affect content from Pyramid 2023 onwards.
The second impact is that offline PIE content files and offline PAT theme files from old versions (2018 or 2020) can no longer be imported directly into a 2025.03 instance. Instead, these files must be "converted" first using a new online utility found here. (Note that PIE and PAT files contain no data.)

Upgraded Features

Feature Name	Description	Benefit	Community
Calendar / Date Slice functional dates Help	A new set of functional elements has been added to the Calendar Slicer, including first date, first week, last week, last month etc. These can also be specified as the slicer load behaviour.	More date functions and more flexible application lead to easier and faster creation of required functionality.	Community and community
Upgraded Subscription options Help (Adding) Help (Securing)	Added support for roles in the new Strict Subscriptions mode. This allows the ability to subscribe content on behalf of a group of users in a role whilst preserving data security for each user within the role.	Additional subscription capability allows more flexibility when creating and handling subscribed content	Customer Request
Improved Content Deletion	When confirming a deletion from the Pyramid Repository, the object's name to be deleted is now displayed.	This will also reduce errors in deleting the wrong files and improve the overall user experience.	Community
