73 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
74
75 == General Notes ==
76
77 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
78 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
79 ** ##xwiki.properties##
80 ** ##web.xml##
81 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
82 * 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.
83
Thomas Mortagne 3.1 84 == Issues specific to XWiki 12.6 ==
Vincent Massol 1.1 85
Thomas Mortagne 3.1 86 === New event store and pre filtering by default ===
Vincent Massol 1.1 87
Thomas Mortagne 3.1 88 Even if it was implemented along the course of 12.x it's still the first time that this is enabled for most users so don't hesitate to report any notification related issue to [[https://jira.xwiki.org/projects/XWIKI]].
89
90 If you hit a blocker bug you can go back to:
91 * post filtering of event using the property ##notifications.eventPrefilteringEnabled## in ##xwiki.properties##
92 * use only the database store by disabling the new one using the property ##eventstream.store.enabled## in ##xwiki.properties##
93
94 Right now old events are not automatically migrated so when you upgrade they will appear to have vanished. To restore them you can go to the Notifications section in the wiki administration and use the migrator. It will copy all the old events to the new store by default but to speed up the migration you also have the choice to indicate a date after which you want to migrate event if you don't need the very old ones.
