| 87 | |||
| 88 | == Automated testing == | ||
| 89 | |||
| 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): | ||

| 104 | = Security Issues = | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | Security issues are not listed in issue lists or dashboards to avoid disclosing ways to use them, but they will appear automatically in them once they're disclosed. See the [[XWiki Security Policy>>dev:Community.SecurityPolicy.WebHome]] for more details. | ||
| 107 | |||
| 108 | = Known issues = | ||

| 111 | |||
| 112 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 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 $version{{/velocity}} == | ||
| 124 | |||
| 125 | === Realtime WYSIWYG Editing === | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | The default WYSIWYG editor (CKEditor) configuration has changed to enable realtime editing: the ##xwiki-realtime## CKEditor plugin has been removed from the list of disabled plugins. If you're upgrading an XWiki instance where the [[CKEditor configuration>>extensions:Extension.CKEditor Integration.WebHome||anchor="HAdministrationSection"]] has been customized then you need to enable the realtime editing yourself, if you want to use it, by [[removing the ##xwiki-realtime## CKEditor plugin from the list of disabled plugins>>extensions:Extension.Realtime WYSIWYG Editor.WebHome||anchor="HUsage"]]. | ||
| 128 | |||
| 129 | Note that realtime WYSIWYG editing has [[some limitations>>extensions:Extension.Realtime WYSIWYG Editor.WebHome||anchor="HLimitations"]], one of which is that it currently doesn't support clustering. If you configured XWiki to run in a cluster then you may want to disable realtime editing for now. | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | The following APIs were modified since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 16.8.0: | ||
