105
106 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
107 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
108 ** ##xwiki.properties##
109 ** ##web.xml##
110 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
111 * 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.
