Notes
We are going to need to test upgrade steps for any release.
Changes can't be applied to any previously initiated distributions.
Need to consider several issues:
- What cache clearing actions are required to ensure that distributions can be initiated
- What cache clearing actions are required to ensure that latest code is available for NEWLY initiated distributions
- what cache clearing actions are required to ensure that latest code is available for PREVIOUSLY initiated distributions (or, what steps do field coordinators have to take… delete all distributions? sync all before upgrade)
