| 90 | = Security Issues = | ||
| 91 | |||
| 92 | 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. | ||
| 93 | |||
 |
8.1 | 94 | = Accessibility = |
| 95 | |||
| 96 | We are working towards [[WCAG 2.1>>url:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/Understanding_WCAG]] level AA compliance. | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | Current status: | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | * A total of **404125** automated tests are run. | ||
| 101 | * **99.60%** of our automated WCAG tests are passing. There are **129** warnings left in the tests to fix (0.03%) and **1480** incomplete tests (0.37%). By "incomplete", it means that they need manual validation. | ||
| 102 | ** Note that the automated WCAG tests have 2 limitations: WCAG tests are executed only for UIs for which we have automated functional tests available, and the underlying library we use for testing (Axe Core) estimates that it catches only about 50% of WCAG issues. We plan to continue running regularly some manual WCAG tests in addition to all these automated tests. | ||
| 103 | ** Out of the **61** rules automatically tested on XWiki, only **4** of them return warnings. All the other tests will fail the build if violated in the future. | ||
| 104 | * Remaining accessibility violations can be seen on this [[filter result table>>url:https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=15396#Filter-Results/20051]]. | ||
| 105 | * The progress of fixing accessibility issues vs raising them can be seen on this [[status chart>>url:https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=15396#Created-vs-Resolved-Chart/20019]]. | ||

| 111 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | == General Notes == | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added: | ||
| 116 | ** ##xwiki.cfg## | ||
| 117 | ** ##xwiki.properties## | ||
| 118 | ** ##web.xml## | ||
| 119 | ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml## | ||
| 120 | * 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. | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} == | ||
| 123 | |||
| |
6.1 | 124 | * With the [[update of the registration UI>>||anchor="HUpdatedtheregistrationUI"]], there are some new items by default in the top navigation bar. Instances hiding the drawer from guest users will probably want to disable those two new Interface Extensions when migrating. |
| |
1.1 | 125 | |
| 126 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 127 | |||
| |
6.1 | 128 | The following APIs were modified since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 16.9.0: |
