| 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 brings performance improvements for icons, more control over the sorting in document trees. You will also be able to install and test a new (still very experimental) BlockNote-based WYSIWYG editor, and developers will benefit from a new, also still experimental, endpoint to help implementing Yjs-based real-time collaboration. This release contains security fixes, with the [[highest severity being 8.7/10>>doc:dev:Community.SecurityPolicy.WebHome||anchor="HSeverity"]]. | ||

| 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 $version{{/velocity}} == | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | === Stop bundling Commons Lang 2.x === | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | Commons Lang 2.x is not maintained anymore and has known security vulnerabilities which is why we decided to stop bundling it (as a core extension). XWiki extensions that use Commons Lang 2.x APIs without declaring the dependency will stop working as a consequence. | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | We also stopped bundling the json-lib library which is also unmaintained and requires Commons Lang 2.x. See the API Breakages below for more information about the affected APIs. | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | The following APIs were modified since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 17.5.0: | ||
| 114 | |||
