| 29 | The [[RSS Macro>>extensions:Extension.RSS Macro]] now supports feeds delivered over HTTPS. Additionally, it now uses its own ##user-agent## string, ##XWiki/VERSION##, where ##VERSION## is the version of XWiki in use. | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | == Synchronization of user avatar from LDAP == | ||

| 111 | |||
| 112 | == General Notes == | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | 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. | ||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | == Issues specific to XWiki XWiki 8.1 Milestone 2 == | ||
| 117 | |||
| 118 | * The WebJars URL format has been modified to support relative WebJars URL in subwikis. The new format is {{code language="none"}}/webjars/<namespace>/<path/to/resource>?...{{/code}}. Reminder: you should not use this format directly and instead you should use the Script Service to generate a valid WebJars URL; this isolate you from any URL change. Example from Velocity: {{code language="none"}}$services.webjars.url(...){{/code}}. | ||
