| 71 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | == General Notes == | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | When upgrading make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg##, ##xwiki.properties## and ##web.xml## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or added. Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything. | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | == Issues specific to XWiki 9.7RC1 == | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | * The [[Attachment Index>>extensions:Extension.Index Application||anchor="HAllAttachments"]] doesn't obey the ##$blacklistedSpaces## Velocity variable any more. It uses the hidden page query filter instead, so it follows the "Show hidden pages" settings from the user profile. | ||
| 80 | * The old Google WebToolkit based WYSIWYG content editor has been removed and this brought some changes to the ##web.xml## file:((( | ||
| 81 | * the package ##org.xwiki.wysiwyg.server.filter## has been renamed to ##org.xwiki.wysiwyg.filter## | ||
| 82 | * the ##gwtrpc## and ##XWikiService## servlets have been removed along with their mappings | ||
| 83 | * the mapping for the ##XWikiContextInitializationFilter## has been removed | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | You can see all these changes below: | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | {{velocity}} | ||
| 88 | #unifiedAttachmentDiff('web-9.6.xml' 'web-9.7RC1.xml') | ||
