Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes

General Notes

  • When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
    • xwiki.cfg
    • xwiki.properties
    • web.xml
    • hibernate.cfg.xml
  • 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.

Protection against concurrent modification of cached document

It's considered bad practice to directly modify the document from the cache (mainly because it can badly impact other requests/threads). This version introduces automatic protections to avoid this situation as much as possible by doing the following: if the XWikiDocument instance in the document store has been modified, any attempt to access it will result in the reloading of the document from the store and the replacement of the "corrupted" document from the cache.

But also a warning is logged when the mistake is made so that the related code is identified and fixed, because the protection cannot fix all cases, for example:

2025-03-28 09:52:08,317 [qtp1024429571-324 - http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/addAnnotationTranslation/pages/WebHome/annotations?media=json] WARN  c.x.x.d.XWikiDocument          - Abusive modification of the cached document [xwiki:addAnnotationTranslation.WebHome()]
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Abusive modification of the cached document
    at com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument.setMetaDataDirty(XWikiDocument.java:2457)
    at ...

To avoid the warning, one must clone the XWikiDocument before modifying it. That's something that has already been done automatically for a long time when using the Document script API.
It would be great to report those warnings if you encounter any, but it's also possible to disable them easily because they are considered deprecation logs: control them using the property  logging.deprecated.enabled in the xwiki.properties configuration file.
