68 == General Notes ==
69
70 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.
71
72 == Issues specific to XWiki 10.1RC1 ==
73
74 * The path of most filesystem store files has been modified (any upper case character is now escaped). This should not be a problem most of the time since there is an automatic migration of those paths but be careful if you are using a tool which directly manipulate filesystem store without going trough XWiki API.
75
76 == API Breakages ==
77
78 The following APIs were modified since XWiki 10.0:
