10
11 [[Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 5.3>>http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=11698]].
12
13 == Solr Search Improvements ==
14
15 === Search Facets ===
16
17 The display of some of the search facets has been improved. The Author and Creator facets now show the user full name, alias and avatar.

24
25 See the [[Solr Search Application documentation>>extensions:Extension.Solr Search Application]] for details.
26
27 == WikiStream improvements ==
28
29 === Script service improvements ===
30
31 Added a WikiStreamType properties converter to make easier to manipulate it from Velocity.
32
33 === Confluence XML input module for WikiStream ===
34
35 A new WikiStream input module has been added to parse [[Confluence backup packages>>https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Exporting+Confluence+Pages+and+Spaces+to+XML]].
36
37 === New XHTML based Confluence syntax ===
38
39 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.
40
41 == Miscellaneous ==
42
43 * 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##).

88 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.
