Ilie Andriuta 7.1 90 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):

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.

Thomas Mortagne 2.1 125 === Realtime WYSIWYG Editing ===
Thomas Mortagne 1.1 126
Thomas Mortagne 2.1 127 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
Marius Dumitru Florea 8.1 129 Note that realtime WYSIWYG editing has [[some limitations>>extensions:Extension.Realtime WYSIWYG Editor.WebHome||anchor="HLimitations"]], one of which is that it currently doesn't support clustering. If you configured XWiki to run in a cluster then you may want to disable realtime editing for now.
