Thomas Mortagne 2.1 33 === New XHTML based Confluence syntax ===
Marius Dumitru Florea 1.1 34
Thomas Mortagne 10.1 35 Since 4.0 Confluence moved to a XHTML based syntax for pages content. So in order to import recent version of Confluences a parser for this syntax had to be written first.
Thomas Mortagne 2.1 36
Marius Dumitru Florea 1.1 37 == Miscellaneous ==
38
Vincent Massol 7.1 39 * The URL Legacy JAR is now correctly bundled in the XE WAR. This is important since otherwise you'd need to set the URL configuration properties in your ##xwiki.properties## file in addition to setting them in ##xwiki.cfg##. For example ##url.standard.multiwiki.isPathBased## in ##xwiki.properties## **and** ##xwiki.virtual.usepath## in ##xwiki.cfg##).

84 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.
