| 16 | 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. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | This is another release focused mainly on bugs and security fixes, but it also includes improvements on the WYSIWYG editor's image dialog and the PDF export. The developers might be interested by the new source parameter for the content and context macros. | ||

| 23 | The following regressions were introduced in this release (and found after it was released). Please check them out and if they impact you we recommend waiting to upgrade to a version where they are fixed. | ||

| 83 | |||
| 84 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | == General Notes == | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added: | ||
| 89 | ** ##xwiki.cfg## | ||
| 90 | ** ##xwiki.properties## | ||
| 91 | ** ##web.xml## | ||
| 92 | ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml## | ||
| 93 | * 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. | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} == | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | === Reinitialization of Solr search index during migration === | ||
| 98 | |||
| 99 | A [[bug with the Solr search index>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20619]] has been fixed as part of this release, but it needs a reindex of the documents to be properly taken into account. The migration will empty the index so that a full reindex is performed: as a consequence the search feature might take a bit of time to be entirely working after the first restart depending on the number of documents in your wiki. | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | === Delete right now implies View right === | ||
| 102 | |||
| 103 | The [[Delete right now implies the View right>>extensions:Extension.Security Module||anchor="HDefaultrightsbeingpredefined"]]: this means that starting with this version, if a user has the Delete right on a page, they're also implicitly gaining the View right on it. | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | The following APIs were modified since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 15.0: | ||
