Server update - modify aware.js

Build 2826 says: "It is no longer necessary to change aware.js to support custom web application directory name"

This is great. This section of the aware.js (and aware.js_full) still has the webapp_prefix setting. Is there anyone who routinely modifies aware.js after an update who can verify this and share any other issues encountered in the latest update? I am going from 8.5 to 8.8.

What does this mean, is it no longer needed to change a lot of files to change the web app directory name? I am moving from 8.5 to 8.8, do I need to do all of the steps I usually do or are there less needed steps or can this be configured 1 place inside Aware now possibly?

Thanks

I'm sorry, your response is not clear to me. My issue is that when I install a platform update my production server, I have to set several settings in AwareIM and Tomcat configuration files regarding my site cert and the fact that I don't use the AwareIM directory as the app folder. One change is to modify aware.js and aware.js_full to change the webapp prefix from AwareIM folder to my folder name. The change log indicates this is no longer necessary, so I'm just curious if others who do this have updated and should I really just skip this step and be assured it will work.

I think we are wondering the same thing. I change my app folder from "AwareIM" to "app" and have done that for years by changing it in 6 or 7 different config files and your question and the changelog entry could be interpreted as that not being needed any longer so my question is, is this not needed any longer (or is it no longer needed just in that file) and if not, how is this configured now in recent versions?

can't remember ever doing this,
and generally don't run in AwareIM

Right. If you don't change the name of the webapps\AwareIM folder, then this is not necessary.

I have validated that as the changelog states, you don't need to do this when using a different folder name other than AwareIM.
