113
114 == General Notes ==
115
116 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
117 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
118 ** ##xwiki.properties##
119 ** ##web.xml##
120 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
121 * 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.
122
123 == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} ==
124
125 === Realtime WYSIWYG Editing ===
126
127 The default WYSIWYG editor (CKEditor) configuration has changed to enable realtime editing: the ##xwiki-realtime## CKEditor plugin has been removed from the list of disabled plugins. If you're upgrading an XWiki instance where the [[CKEditor configuration>>extensions:Extension.CKEditor Integration.WebHome||anchor="HAdministrationSection"]] has been customized then you need to enable the realtime editing yourself, if you want to use it, by [[removing the ##xwiki-realtime## CKEditor plugin from the list of disabled plugins>>extensions:Extension.Realtime WYSIWYG Editor.WebHome||anchor="HUsage"]].
128
129 == API Breakages ==

131 The following APIs were modified since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 16.8.0:
