7 This release brings a warning to the users when they are editing a page and other users are saving the same content. The Object editor has a new way of presenting XClasses meant to increase the user experience, while the top level application pages are not displayed anymore in the Navigation Panel. In addition the performance of the Notifications feature has been improved.

69 == General Notes ==
70
71 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
72 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
73 ** ##xwiki.properties##
74 ** ##web.xml##
75 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
76 * 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.

78 == Issues specific to XWiki 11.2 ==
79
80 === Event Stream Mapping ===
81
82 The Event Stream Store now declares its mapping automatically. You must thus not declare the event stream store mapping into the ##hibernate.cfg.xml## anymore. This means removing the following line:
83
84 {{code}}
85 <mapping resource="eventstream.hbm.xml"/>
86 {{/code}}
87
88 === Language Settings ===
89
90 The default value of the option [[{{code}}xwiki.language.forceSupported{{/code}}>>doc:Documentation.AdminGuide.Configuration.WebHome||anchor="HLanguagesettings"]] is now set to true.
91 That means that only the supported languages defined in the Administration (section Content > Internationalization) will be used to display the wiki to our users.
92 If you want to support the previous behaviour, you can edit the default value of the option in {{code}}xwiki.cfg{{/code}} by setting it to 0:
93
94 {{code}}
95 #-# Force only one of the supported languages to be accepted. Default set to true.
96 xwiki.language.forceSupported=0
97 {{/code}}
98
99 == API Breakages ==
