| 54 | = Tested Browsers & Databases = | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | == Automated testing == | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | XWiki executes a lot of [[automated tests during its build>>dev:Community.Testing.WebHome||anchor="HTestingStrategy"]], testing all [[supported configurations>>dev:Community.SupportStrategy.WebHome]]. In addition, some manual QA is also executed to try to discover additional problems (see below): | ||

| 72 | = Security Issues = | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | Security issues are not listed in issue lists or dashboards to avoid disclosing ways to use them, but they will appear automatically in them once they're disclosed. See the [[XWiki Security Policy>>dev:Community.SecurityPolicy.WebHome]] for more details. | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | = Known issues = | ||
| 77 | |||

| 80 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | == General Notes == | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added: | ||
| 85 | ** ##xwiki.cfg## | ||
| 86 | ** ##xwiki.properties## | ||
| 87 | ** ##web.xml## | ||
| 88 | ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml## | ||
| 89 | * 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. | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} == | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | === New query validation in the REST Query HQL endpoint and for the short form queries in the script API === | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | The validation of HQL queries given to the [[REST Query HQL endpoint>>xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.XWikiRESTfulAPI||anchor="HRootresources"]] and to the [[Query script API>>extensions:Extension.Query Module||anchor="HFromVelocity"]] has been modified to be more consistent. This validation is a lot stricter than it used to be for those use cases, which may cause some perfectly valid (but complex enough to not be understood by the validator) queries to be forbidden if the current user (or the author of the script depencing on the user case) does not have programming right. | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | Don't hesitate to report an issue on https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI if this happens. A workaround in the form of a configuration to explicitly indicate allowed query statements has also been introduced to workaround potential false positives. See [[extensions:Extension.Query Module||anchor="HCustomizeallowed2Funallowedqueries"]] for more details about this new configuration. | ||
| 98 | |||
| 99 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | The following APIs were modified since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 15.10.15: | ||
