18 This release contains a new way to insert links for page not yet existing from the WYSIWYG editor, complying with the configured name strategy in the wiki. It also brings various UI improvments such as a better icon picker, better contrast in paragraph edition buttons, and updated icons for attachment uploads. Last but not least this release contains a first implementation of the "Supported By" extension concept for administrators. The release also includes lots of bug fixes and security fixes, with the [[highest severity being 9.1/10>>doc:dev:Community.SecurityPolicy.WebHome||anchor="HSeverity"]].

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