# Upgrading to DefectDojo Version 1.8.0

**What's New:**

- See release notes:  
  [https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/releases](https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/releases)
- Improved search, which requires an index rebuild  
  ( [https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/pull/2861](https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/pull/2861))

This requires a (one-time) rebuild of the Django-Watson search index.  
Execute the django command from the defect dojo installation directory:

```
./manage.py buildwatson
```

If you're using docker:

```
docker-compose exec uwsgi ./manage.py buildwatson
```

This can take a while depending on your hardware and the number of findings in your instance.

- **NOTE:**

As a result of a breaking bug revolving around Endpoint_status objects, a corrective script will need to be ran after every dynamic scan imported through either API version.

The script can be found [here](https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/blob/dev/dojo/management/commands/create_endpoint_status.py)

```
./manage.py create_endpoint_status
```

If you're using docker:

```
docker-compose exec uwsgi ./manage.py create_endpoint_status
```

This can take a while depending on your hardware and the number of findings in your instance.
