| 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 | |||
 |
18.1 | 18 | The realtime WYSIWYG editing feature has been added to XWiki (but turned off by default as it's still considered experimental). In addition this release brings performance improvements when pages have lots of revisions. In term of important infrastructure changes, XWiki has moved from Restlet to Jersey for its REST API and from Solr 8 to Solr 9 (a migration has been included). XWiki is progressing on its path for being WCAG 2.1 AA compliant and several improvements have been made. And bug fixes as usual. |

| 119 | == General Notes == | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added: | ||
| 122 | ** ##xwiki.cfg## | ||
| 123 | ** ##xwiki.properties## | ||
| 124 | ** ##web.xml## | ||
| 125 | ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml## | ||
| 126 | * 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. | ||

5.2 | 130 | === Move to Jersey === |
| |
1.1 | 131 | |
| |
12.1 | 132 | The XWiki REST API used to depend on Restlet, and has now been moved to Jersey 2. |
| |
3.2 | 133 | |
| |
12.1 | 134 | We took great care to keep the same behavior as much as possible, but there are some differences: |
| |
5.2 | 135 | |
| |
12.1 | 136 | * If you were using directly any Restlet class (which was something not recommended), your code won't work anymore. |
| 137 | * There were some bugs in the Restlet implementation of the ##URIBuilder## class. They are fixed in Jersey. One that was existing when Restlet was used was that Restlet was not escaping ##/## characters contained in parameters passed to the ##URIBuilder## class. So, if your code was depending on this behavior, you are going to have problems, and you'll need to split the parameters into several Strings instead (this should work fine with Restlet too if you want to fix the issue while staying on XWiki < 16.2.0). | ||
| 138 | * Restlet added a lot of custom behaviors on top of JAX-RS and HTTP specifications, especially regarding the special meaning of some URL parameters. We only kept what was documented in the [[XWiki REST API>>xwiki:Documentation.UserGuide.Features.XWikiRESTfulAPI]] (the ##media## parameter, which allows overwriting the HTTP request Accept value, and the ##method## parameter, which allows to overwrite the HTTP request method, both of which are only here for retro-compatibility reasons, and we highly recommend to use standard HTTP instead). | ||
| |
3.2 | 139 | |
| |
5.2 | 140 | === Upgrade to Antlr 4.10+ === |
| |
3.2 | 141 | |
| |
12.1 | 142 | Antlr introduced a breaking change in version 4.10, which makes it impossible to run code built with a version of Antlr 4 lower than 4.10. |
| |
3.2 | 143 | |
| |
5.2 | 144 | === Upgrade to Solr 9 === |
| |
5.1 | 145 | |
| |
14.1 | 146 | XWiki now expects Solr 9 to be installed. There is nothing special to do if you use the embedded Solr server (the default, which has been moved to Solr 9) but if you have a standalone Solr server, you need to Solr 9 (Using Solr 8 with XWiki 16.2.0+ has not been tested and is not supported). There is an automatic migration of the data from Lucene 8 to 9 format but for this you need to setup new cores as explained in the [[remote Solr server instructions>>extensions:Extension.Solr Search API||anchor="HSetuparemoteSolrserver"]]. |
| |
5.1 | 147 | |
 |
20.1 | 148 | === Realtime WYSIWYG Editor === |
| 149 | |||
| |
21.1 | 150 | If you have previously installed the [[Realtime WYSIWYG Editor>>extensions:Extension.Realtime WYSIWYG Editor.WebHome]] extension and enabled realtime collaboration by default by changing the "Default WYSIWYG Editor" setting from the "Editing / WYSIWYG Editor" [[administration section>>extensions:Extension.Administration Application||anchor"HWYSIWYGEditors"]], then you need to revert this change and instead remove "xwiki-realtime" from the list of disabled CKEditor plugins from the same administration section. |
| |
20.1 | 151 | |
| 152 | If you haven't enabled realtime editing before but you have a custom list of disabled CKEditor plugins, then you need to add "xwiki-realtime" to that list, otherwise realtime editing will be enabled by default after you upgrade. | ||
| 153 | |||
| |
1.1 | 154 | == API Breakages == |
| 155 | |||
