105 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
106
107 == General Notes ==
108
109 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
110 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
111 ** ##xwiki.properties##
112 ** ##web.xml##
113 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
114 * 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.
115
116 == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} ==
117
118 * The [[MessageStream Application>>doc:extensions:Extension.Message Stream Application.WebHome]] is now [[officially>>https://forum.xwiki.org/t/deprecate-and-remove-message-stream-from-xwiki-standard/14780]] deprecated (it was disabled by default since a long time) and should be removed from XWiki Standard in next cycle (XWiki 17.0.0).
119 * The bootstrap dependency is no longer coming from the official bootstrap repository since 3.4.x branch is not maintained anymore: we now provide our own fork of bootstrap based on Bootstrap 3.4.1.
120
121 == API Breakages ==
122
123 No API breakage since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 16.7.1
