| 23 | This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | This release makes it possible for users with just edit right to re-order pages in the navigation, fixes bugs and improves the performance of XWiki in particular for larger instances. This release contains security fixes, with the [[highest severity being 8.7/10>>doc:dev:Community.SecurityPolicy.WebHome||anchor="HSeverity"]]. | ||

| 85 | |||
| 86 | 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. | ||

| 92 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | == General Notes == | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added: | ||
| 97 | ** ##xwiki.cfg## | ||
| 98 | ** ##xwiki.properties## | ||
| 99 | ** ##web.xml## | ||
| 100 | ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml## | ||
| 101 | * 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. | ||
| 102 | |||
| 103 | == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} == | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | === Protection against concurrent modification of cached document === | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | It's considered bad practice to directly modify the document from the cache (mainly because it can badly impact other requests/threads). This version introduces automatic protections to avoid this situation as much as possible by doing the following: if the XWikiDocument instance in the document store has been modified, any attempt to access it will result in the reloading of the document from the store and the replacement of the "corrupted" document from the cache. | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | But also a warning is logged when the mistake is made so that the related code is identified and fixed, because the protection cannot fix all cases. To avoid the warning, one must clone the XWikiDocument before modifying it. That's something that has already been done automatically for a long time when using the Document script API. | ||
| 110 | It would be great to report those warnings if you encounter any, but it's also possible to disable them easily because they are considered deprecation logs: control them using the property ##logging.deprecated.enabled## in the ##xwiki.properties## configuration file. | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | The following APIs were modified since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 17.1.0: | ||
