100 == General Notes ==
101
102 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
103 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
104 ** ##xwiki.properties##
105 ** ##web.xml##
106 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
107 * 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.
108
109 == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} ==
110
Marius Dumitru Florea 6.1 111 * With the [[update of the registration UI>>||anchor="HUpdatedtheregistrationUI"]], there are some new items by default in the top navigation bar. Instances hiding the drawer from guest users will probably want to disable those two new Interface Extensions when migrating.
