16 This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version.
17
18 This is the first release of the 14.x cycle which introduces dropping support for Java 8: XWiki now requires Java 11 to work. As part of this cycle we're also dropping support of Internet Explorer 11. This release includes new work to allow refactoring of attachments, a few new UI extension points for developers and the ability to discover extensions contributing missing macros and to install them quickly.

21 The following regressions were introduced in this release (and found after it was released). Please check them out and if they impact you we recommend waiting to upgrade to a version where they are fixed.

134 == General Notes ==
135
136 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
137 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
138 ** ##xwiki.properties##
139 ** ##web.xml##
140 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
141 * 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.

143 == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} ==
144
145 === Drop support of Java 8 ===
146

152
153 === Drop support of Internet Explorer 11 ===
154
155 Internet Explorer 11 support has been [[dropped>>https://forum.xwiki.org/t/drop-support-for-ie11-in-xwiki-14-0/9647/]]: we removed most of the hacks that were required by IE11 which makes this new version of XWiki unusable with this old web browser. Check the [[Browser Support Strategy>>dev:Community.SupportStrategy.BrowserSupportStrategy]] documentation to see the list of supported web browsers.
156
157 === Mentions ===
158
159 A local database is stored in the permanent directories and stores the updated document that needs to be analyzed for new mentions. This database is based on [[H2 MVStore>>url:https://www.h2database.com/html/mvstore.html]]. When upgrading to 14.0RC1+ the file format of H2 MVStore changes and the old one becomes unsupported. The old database file is moved to a backup file, and a new one is created.
160
161 {{warning}}
162 In this case, any updated document queued for upgrade when the server is stopped will be discarded, and some users will not be notified of their mentions.
163 Please make sure that the queue size is at zero before upgrading (see [[JMX>>doc:extensions:Extension.Mentions Application.WebHome||anchor="HJMX"]]).
