The database.war does not extract after startup. You will not see a database subfolder in the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps directory if you are using the tomcat bundle as in previous releases.
The Database Connector v2.5.3 requires v7.3.2 . The v2.5.3+ database connector datasources are now defined in the new <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\frevvo-config.properties files. The v2.4.* database connector datasources were defined directly in configuration.xml. This upgrade requires you to move your datasource configuration out of configuration.xml and into a configuration properties file.

Java 1.7 is no longer supported. In-house customers should upgrade to Java 8 before upgrading to v7.3+. Please review Supported Platforms for a complete list.
You must install the Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK) or the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) before installing Live Forms. Although Live Forms will run with either JAVA package, the Insight Server requires the JAVA_HOME environment variable so set it to the installation directory for the Java package that you install. Refer to JDK or JRE Prerequisite for configuration details.

Changing string name/value pairs in the default file found in the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps\ frevvo.war displays the new English version of the string on the UI. This is mainly for OEM partners and resellers, but it will work for any in-house customer. Modifications to the strings in this file can be used to change the labels in the Form Designer e.g. change Palette to Palette Controls or change the text of a message such as "Access denied. Authentication required" to something more user friendly. To access the default file, the frevvo.war must be unzipped, then rezipped after the changes are made. Refer to the Customizing Runtime Messages and Labels in the Designers topic for the step by step instructions.
Geolocation
New in-house installations now require a Google Map API key if you want to embed a Google map in your forms/flows. See the Geolocation topic for instructions to obtain the key. This change does not apply to Cloud customers.
