Ilie Andriuta 13.1 65 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):

91 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
92 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
93 ** ##xwiki.properties##
94 ** ##web.xml##
95 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
96 * 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.

Thomas Mortagne 12.1 100 === New query validation in the REST query hql endpoint and for the short form queries in the script API ===
Thomas Mortagne 6.1 101
Thomas Mortagne 12.1 102 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.
Thomas Mortagne 6.1 103
Thomas Mortagne 10.1 104 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 will be introduced in 16.10.2. See [[extensions:Extension.Query Module||anchor="HCustomizeallowed2Funallowedqueries"]] for more details about this new configuration.
