| 64 | |||
| 65 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above. | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | {{warning}} | ||
| 68 | Always make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg## and ##xwiki.properties## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything. | ||
| 69 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | == Issues specific to XWiki 5.1 Milestone 1 == | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | * The data type of the 'email' property from the user profile has changed from ##String## to ##Email##, a specialized type [[introduced in 4.2>>ReleaseNotes.ReleaseNotesXWiki42||anchor="HNewfieldtypesforemailandlistofpages"]]. Unfortunately this change doesn't apply automatically when you upgrade from an older version so you have to do it your self:((( | ||
| 74 | 1. edit ##XWiki.XWikiUsers## with the class editor | ||
| 75 | 1. delete the 'email' property | ||
| 76 | 1. add a new property of type ##Email## named 'email' with 'e-Mail' as pretty name | ||
| 77 | 1. save | ||
| 78 | )))The values of both ##String## and ##Email## data types are stored in the same database table so there souldn't be any migration issues for existing users. | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | The following APIs were modified since <project> <version - 1>: | ||
