104 == General Notes ==
105
106 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
107 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
108 ** ##xwiki.properties##
109 ** ##web.xml##
110 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
111 * 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.

Manuel Leduc 7.1 115 === Changes in Solr search core ===
Vincent Massol 1.1 116
Thomas Mortagne 6.1 117 The shema of the Solr search core (the one used as source for document search in the UI) has been modified and will need to be resetted. This is done automaticlaly in case of embedded Solr (the default) but is a manual process in the case of a standalone remote Solr install: you should remove the Solr core with name "xwiki" and reinstall it as documented on [[extensions:Extension.Solr Search API||anchor="HSetuparemoteSolrserver"]].
118
119 Also, since the version of Solr with which XWiki is tested (the version embedded in XWiki) has been upgraded to 8.11.2, it's is highly recommended to make sure, if you use a remote standalone Solr setup, that have a 8.11.x verison of Solr (it may work with other versions but XWiki was not tested with them).
