33 == General Notes ==
34
35 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.

Guillaume Delhumeau 1.1 38
Thomas Mortagne 5.1 39 == Mail API Unique Message Identifier ==
Denis Gervalle 2.1 40
Thomas Mortagne 9.1 41 In order to solve [[XWIKI-12165>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12165]], the unique identifier of each mime message sent has been changed to a SHA1 based on the ##Message-ID## header and the list of recipients of the mails, ensuring uniqueness during a newsletter or mailing sending. To introduce this change, the ##MailContentStore## and the ##MailListener API## has been broken, and now use a new ExtendedMimeMessage instead of the simple ##MimeMessage## for all arguments. The values ##messageId## returned or used as argument in the API is no more equivalent to the ##Message-ID## header, but is now the unique identifier returned by ##ExtendedMimeMessage#getUniqueMessageId()##. Finally, the ##MessageMimeMessageFactory## now returns cloned ##MimeMessage## without changing the ##Message-ID##.
Denis Gervalle 2.1 42
Vincent Massol 6.1 43 == New Space prefix for wiki links ==
44
Thomas Mortagne 7.1 45 We've introduced the possibility to explicitly create a link to a Space in XWiki Syntax 2.1, e.g. ##~[~[space:Space1.Space2]]##. However if you had a subwiki named ##space## the new notation will conflict with the syntax for referencing that wiki. Thus you'll need to edit existing links such as ##~[~[space:something]]## to ##~[~[doc:space:something]]##. And if you wish to reference a given space in the ##space## subwiki, you'd write ##~[~[space:space:something]]##.
