+# Update BELY to v2026.3
+This release contains significant infrastructure changes including an updated Payara installation, MQTT integration for notifications, new notification database tables, and updated search stored procedures.
+
+## UI Improvements
+- Cleaned up the add log entry dialog by removing unnecessary labels, resulting in a wider text area while keeping the dialog size the same
+
+# Update Instructions
+
+## 1. Pre-Migration: Stop Services and Backup
+```bash
+source setup.sh
+./etc/init.d/cdb-glassfish stop
+make backup
+```
+
+## 2. Update Source Code
+Pull or download the 2026.3 release, then reload the environment:
+```bash
+source setup.sh
+```
+
+## 3. Reinstall Payara
+The Payara installation script has been updated to create a production domain with improved security defaults, keystore configuration, and JVM options.
+```bash
+# Backup old Payara to dated snapshot
+mv $LOGR_SUPPORT_DIR/payara $LOGR_SUPPORT_DIR/payara-$(date +%Y%m%d)
+
+# Copy updated install script into existing support directory
+cp support/bin/install_glassfish.sh $LOGR_SUPPORT_DIR/bin/
+
+# Run Payara install (creates production domain, prompts for passwords,
+# configures keystores, enables HTTPS/secure admin, sets JVM options)
+$LOGR_SUPPORT_DIR/bin/install_glassfish.sh
+```
+
+## 4. Configure SSL Certificates (if using custom certs)
+If you use custom SSL certificates, re-import them into the new Payara installation:
+```bash
+./sbin/cdb_update_glassfish_ssl.sh <key_file> <crt_file>
+```
+
+## 5. Database Migration
+```bash
+mysql logr --host=127.0.0.1 --user=logr -p < db/sql/updates/updateTo2026.3.sql
+```
+This migration adds notification tables, handler configuration tables, and updated search stored procedures.
+
+## 6. Configure MQTT (New in 2026.3)
+MQTT integration enables real-time notification features. An MQTT broker service (e.g. Mosquitto) must be running and accessible before configuring MQTT.
+
+```bash
+# Create MQTT configuration interactively (saves to $LOGR_INSTALL_DIR/etc/mqtt.conf)
+./sbin/bely_create_mqtt_configuration.sh
+
+# Apply MQTT configuration to Payara (deploys RAR, creates pool/resource, tests connection)
+./sbin/bely_configure_mqtt_service.sh
+```
+
+## 7. Configure and Deploy
+```bash
+make configure-web-portal
+make deploy-cdb-plugin
+make deploy-web-portal
+```
+
+## 8. Configure MQTT Message Broker (Optional)
+The MQTT message broker handler processes notification events (email, Slack, Discord). See `tools/developer_tools/bely-mqtt-message-broker/README.md` for setup details.
+
+## 9. Verification
+- Confirm the application is accessible at `https://<hostname>:8181/bely`
+- Check Payara logs for MQTT connectivity
