The code viewer now provides a blame view by default and the notification center now allows the user to enable or disable notifications globally on an application, as well as toggling default notification filters provided by the platform.

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.

Marius Dumitru Florea 11.1 77 == Issues specific to XWiki 9.7RC1 ==
Vincent Massol 1.1 78
Marius Dumitru Florea 12.1 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.
Marius Dumitru Florea 19.1 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
