61 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
62 | |||
63 | == General Notes == | ||
64 | |||
65 | * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added: | ||
66 | ** ##xwiki.cfg## | ||
67 | ** ##xwiki.properties## | ||
68 | ** ##web.xml## | ||
69 | ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml## | ||
70 | * 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. | ||
71 | |||
72 | == API Breakages == | ||
73 | |||
74 | The following APIs were modified since XWiki 12.3: | ||

76 | {{backwardCompatiblityReport version="12.4"/}} | ||
77 | |||
78 | == Issues specific to XWiki 12.4 == | ||
79 | |||
80 | We changed the behaviour of this kind of URLs: ##myxwiki/edit/MyPage/?editor=object&xaction=objectAdd##. This **xaction** parameter used to save the added xobjects, but it's not the case anymore. Please refer to [[this documentation>>xwiki:Documentation.DevGuide.Architecture.URL Architecture.Standard URL Format||anchor="HAction:objectadd"]] for adding xobject to a page. | ||
