107
108 == General Notes ==
109
110 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
111 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
112 ** ##xwiki.properties##
113 ** ##web.xml##
114 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
115 * 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.
116
117 == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} ==
118
Lavinia Vitel 1.12 119 * The [[MessageStream Application>>doc:extensions:Extension.Message Stream Application.WebHome]] is now [[officially>>https://forum.xwiki.org/t/deprecate-and-remove-message-stream-from-xwiki-standard/14780]] deprecated (it was disabled by default since a long time) and should be removed from XWiki Standard in next cycle (XWiki 17.0.0).
120 * The bootstrap dependency is no longer coming from the official bootstrap repository since 3.4.x branch is not maintained anymore: we now provide our own fork of bootstrap based on Bootstrap 3.4.1.
Lavinia Vitel 1.1 121
122 == API Breakages ==
123
Lavinia Vitel 1.15 124 No API breakage since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 16.7.1
