Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes
General Notes
You may also want to import the default wiki XAR in order to benefit from the improvements listed above.
Migration Notes
- The new parser/serializer for document names comes with new features and changes some behaviors:
- introducing escaping means:
- \ which is now the escaping character needs to be doubled in full document name, as in Space.Docu
ment, which means space Space and document Docu\ment - some generated documents names will now contains \ to escape thing like dot in a document name. For example Space.Docu\.ment means space Space and document Docu.ment
- \ which is now the escaping character needs to be doubled in full document name, as in Space.Docu
- support for the syntax wikiname:Document has been dropped, so in this example "wikiname:Document" will be seen as the document name because no . has been found
- introducing escaping means:
- If you had Wiki Macros defined in your wiki before, you might want to edit them to check their visibility field since the notion of visibility was introduced in XE 2.2 and the default value is user-visibility.
