Marius Dumitru Florea 23.1 21 == Distribution Wizard Step to Upgrade All Wikis ==

Marius Dumitru Florea 25.1 23 We added a new step to the [[Distribution Wizard>>doc:platform:Features.DistributionWizard]] to update the default set of wiki pages on each of the existing wikis. This step is triggered only if you choose to upgrade the entire farm in the "Upgrade Mode" step.

34
Vincent Massol 29.3 35 == Export large wikis as XARs ==
Guillaume Delhumeau 16.1 36
Marius Dumitru Florea 26.1 37 It's possible to enable the use of new [[WikiStream>>doc:extensions:Extension.Wiki Stream Module]] framework in standard export action (use in the standard export UI for example). Among other things it allows exporting a wiki of pretty much any size.
Guillaume Delhumeau 16.1 38
Vincent Massol 29.3 39 [[WikiStream>>doc:extensions:Extension.Wiki Stream Module]] is too young to be enabled by default and will require heavy testing. In the meantime you can try it by uncommenting {{code}}# xwiki.action.export.xar.usewikistream=1{{/code}} at the end of xwiki.cfg file.
