| 56 | |||
| 57 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | == General Notes == | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above. | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | {{warning}} | ||
| 64 | 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. | ||
| 65 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | == Solr Search Format Change == | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | If you're upgrading from XWiki 4.5.x to this version you'll need to perform a full re-indexation when using the Solr Search. This because in XWiki 4.5.x the Solr search was experimental and we've completely changed the indexing format in XWiki 5.1. | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | == Email Address Obfuscation == | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | In [[4.2>>ReleaseNotes.ReleaseNotesXWiki42||anchor="HNewfieldtypesforemailandlistofpages"]] we introduced a new object property type called Email that can be used to store email addresses. In [[5.1>>ReleaseNotes.ReleaseNotesXWiki51||anchor="HUseremail"]] we decided to use this new property type in the user profile to store the user email address. With this change we also introuced a defaut custom displayer for the Email property type that obfuscates the email address in view mode. As a consequence the user profile email address became obfuscated by default. Starting with 5.2 we allow you to toggle the email address obfuscation from the administration. What is important to know is that the email address obfuscation is off by default. So if you upgrade from 5.1 and you want to preserve the obfuscation then you need to enable it from the administration. | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | == Instance Identifier == | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | XWiki now creates a unique identifier in the database (this is used by the new Active Installs module and will be used in the future by the Extension Manager to identify your instance for example). You need to verify that your ##hibernate.cfg.xml## file has the following mapping definition next to the existing mapping definitions: | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | ((( | ||
| 80 | {{code}} | ||
| 81 | ... | ||
| 82 | <mapping resource="instance.hbm.xml"/> | ||
| 83 | ... | ||
| 84 | {{/code}} | ||
| 85 | ))) | ||
| 86 | |||
