Last but not least this release contains a first implementation of the "Supported By" extension concept for administrators. This release contains security fixes, with the [[highest severity being 9.1/10>>doc:dev:Community.SecurityPolicy.WebHome||anchor="HSeverity"]]. |

18.1 | 80 | == Automated testing == |
| |
1.1 | 81 | |
| |
18.1 | 82 | XWiki executes a lot of [[automated tests during its build>>dev:Community.Testing.WebHome||anchor="HTestingStrategy"]], testing all [[supported configurations>>dev:Community.SupportStrategy.WebHome]]. In addition, some manual QA is also executed to try to discover additional problems (see below): |

| 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 $version{{/velocity}} == | ||
| 116 | |||
| |
17.1 | 117 | * The [[MessageStream Application>>doc:extensions:Extension.Message Stream Application.WebHome]] is now [[officially>>https://forum.xwiki.org/t/deprecate-and-remove-message-stream-from-xwiki-standard/14780]] deprecated (it was disabled by default since a long time) and should be removed from XWiki Standard in next cycle (XWiki 17.0.0). |
| 118 | * The bootstrap dependency is no longer coming from the official bootstrap repository since 3.4.x branch is not maintained anymore: we now provide our own fork of bootstrap based on Bootstrap 3.4.1. | ||
| |
1.1 | 119 | |
| 120 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 121 | |||
| |
15.1 | 122 | No API breakage since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 16.7.1. |
