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.

Live Data Vue Components registration

With the upgrade to Vue 3, the former mechanism to load additional components is not supported.
If you are using code such as the one presented below, please migrate your component to Vue 3 as well, and see the Live Data Component store section to migrate.

Vue.component('DisplayerXXX', DisplayerXXXVue2Component);

New meta.vm template

When the XWiki.XWikiPreferences^XWiki.XWikiPreferences[0].meta field is emptied if it matched the default value when upgrading to 17.4.0RC1.
You can consult this field from the UI by going to the Presentation section of the administration, under the Look & Feel category. Then check the HTTP Meta Info field.

  • When the meta field is empty, the new meta.vm template file is used.
  • After upgrading, it is advised to check if the meta field is empty. If that's the case and no customization has been performed, you can check the history to verify if minor, irrelevant changes can be found. If that's the case, it is possible to empty the meta field by yourself.

XWiki now overwrite the standard application server request URL resolution

We had too many erratic/buggy behaviors with various application servers not properly following proxy headers, so we decider to not trust them anymore: XWiki now overwrite in a Servlet filter the behavior of ServletRequest#getScheme(), ServletRequest#getServerName(), ServletRequest#getServerPort() and HttpServletRequest#getRequestURL() so those should now have the same behavior to matter the application server used and its setup.
