73 | |||
74 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
75 | |||
76 | == General Notes == | ||
77 | |||
78 | * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added: | ||
79 | ** ##xwiki.cfg## | ||
80 | ** ##xwiki.properties## | ||
81 | ** ##web.xml## | ||
82 | ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml## | ||
83 | * Add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## in ##xwiki.cfg## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to any new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything. | ||
84 | |||
85 | == Issues specific to XWiki 11.5 == | ||
86 | |||
87 | === Renaming of WikiMacro field === | ||
88 | |||
89 | The field {{code}}Macro content type{{/code}} has been renamed {{code}}Macro content availability{{/code}} in WikiMacroClass UI. | ||
90 | |||
91 | === XWiki now requires JDBC 4.2 === | ||
92 | |||
93 | In practice it just means you need to make sure the database connector you are using is not too old (JDBC 4.2 came with Java 8 so you should be fine if you downloaded the connector in recent years). | ||
94 | |||
95 | === Hibernate 5.4.3 upgrade === | ||
96 | |||
97 | Hibernate has (finally) been upgraded to the very last version. While it means you will benefit from bugfix/improvement/new features it's also a huge jump (previous version was close to 10 years old) and you will probably have issues if you are directly manipulating Hibernate APIs or some library expecting a much older version of Hibernate. You can find the details on https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/wiki/Migration-Guides but here is an extract from XWiki point of view: | ||
98 | |||
99 | * HQL '##?##'-based wildcards are not supported anymore at all by Hibernate. We added an automatic converter (to '##?1##' JPQL style) which seems to work well but it might not be perfect and it's producing a deprecating warning log | ||
100 | * You might need to update your ##hibernate.cfg.xml## file | ||
101 | * Various Hibernate classes have been removed or moved to different Java packages | ||
102 | * Various Hibernate methods have been removed from the APIs or not having any effect anymore even if still here and deprecated | ||
103 | |||
104 | === HTML head extension point identifier update === | ||
105 | |||
106 | The identifier of [[the HTML header extension point>>Documentation.DevGuide.ExtensionPoint.HTMLHead]] allowing to inject HTML in the pages ##head## tag has been changed from ##org.xwiki.platform.head## to ##org.xwiki.platform.html.head##. Update your UI Extension Points if you were using the old id. This was done to disambiguate between HTML head and page head. | ||
107 | |||
108 | == API Breakages == | ||
109 | |||
110 | The following APIs were modified since XWiki 11.4: | ||
