113 == General Notes ==
114
115 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
116 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
117 ** ##xwiki.properties##
118 ** ##web.xml##
119 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
120 * 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.

Marius Dumitru Florea 5.1 124 === Realtime WYSIWYG Editing ===
Vincent Massol 1.1 125
Marius Dumitru Florea 6.1 126 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"]].
