Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes

General Notes

• When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
  • xwiki.cfg
  • xwiki.properties
  • web.xml
  • hibernate.cfg.xml
• 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.

Issues specific to XWiki 14.4.7

• The xwiki.action.import.xar.usefilter configuration property has been removed and it's no longer possible to use the old XAR import (it has been replaced by a newer implementation since XWiki 6.2).

• This release introduce some new Japanese translations that might cause error logs such as:

  SQL Error: 1366, SQLState: HY000
  Incorrect string value: '\xC4\xBEa zd...' for column 'XWD_CONTENT' at row 1
  Incorrect string value: '\xC4\xBEa zd...' for column 'XWD_CONTENT' at row 1

  Those errors shouldn't impact you unless you're trying to use Japanese language, in which case you need to ensure to use a database encoded with utf8mb4. You can find details on https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20517.

API Breakages

No API breakage since XWiki 14.4.6.
