| 56 | == General Notes == | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | 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. | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | == Issues specific to XWiki 9.9 Release Candidate 2 == | ||
| 61 | |||

| 63 | |||
