Breaking Change

Application startup is now done from index.js.

• All npm startup scripts have been updated to the new startup file.

If you are not using an npm script to start Sunrise CMS (like npm start), you may need to update your startup script to something like:

node ./index.js

If you have installed Sunrise CMS as a Windows service, it is recommended that you uninstall the service using windowsService-uninstall.bat before updating to this version.
