| 5 | This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. | ||

 |
15.1 | 7 | This release brings WYSIWYG editor integration with comments and annotations, allowing for easy insertion of mentions into comments and annotations. Talking about mentions, the mention summary is now included in the notification message. As for the notifications, they are now pre-filtered when the event occurs and stored (also) on a separate Solr core, which improves considerably the time spent to retrieve and display them. For developers we have a new "content footer" UI extension point that might be of interest. Besides that this release includes, as usual, a fair amount of bug fixes and other small improvements. |

| 91 | |||
| 92 | == General Notes == | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added: | ||
| 95 | ** ##xwiki.cfg## | ||
| 96 | ** ##xwiki.properties## | ||
| 97 | ** ##web.xml## | ||
| 98 | ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml## | ||
| 99 | * 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. | ||
| 100 | |||
| |
3.1 | 101 | == Issues specific to XWiki 12.6 == |
| |
1.1 | 102 | |
| |
3.1 | 103 | === New event store and pre filtering by default === |
| |
1.1 | 104 | |
| |
3.1 | 105 | 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]]. |
| 106 | |||
| 107 | If you hit a blocker bug you can go back to: | ||
| |
18.1 | 108 | |
| |
3.1 | 109 | * post filtering of event using the property ##notifications.eventPrefilteringEnabled## in ##xwiki.properties## |
| 110 | * use only the database store by disabling the new one using the property ##eventstream.store.enabled## in ##xwiki.properties## | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | 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. | ||
| 113 | |||
