Marius Dumitru Florea 1.1 42 == Miscellaneous ==
43
Vincent Massol 7.1 44 * 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##).

Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.
