Issues specific to XWiki 17.10.10

Name Attribute Disallowed on Most Elements

For security reasons, the use of the name attribute has been restricted. In XWiki syntax, it is only allowed on links. In the content of HTML macros in a document without script right or a comment, it is only allowed on <a> and <map> elements. In practice, this shouldn't cause but if necessary, this can be configured in the configuration of the XML Module in xwiki.properties.

Simple Math text captcha implementation removed

The Simple Math text captcha implementation has been entirely removed: it was never meant to be used in production and it proves to not be reliable as a CAPTCHA implementation.

The following APIs were modified since XWiki 17.10.9:

No breakage!
