Upgrade Guide

• This release includes a new database migration. After updating the gem, you should also run:

  $ rake blacklight:install:migrations

  to get the latest migrations.

• If you are running Rails 3, you MUST set Blacklight.secret_key in an initializer. Consider using something like value of SecureRandom.hex(64) to seed this secret. This value should be private.

  Under Rails 4, Blacklight will use the application-wide secret key base.
