| 23 | == Confluence XML input module for WikiStream == | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | === New XHTML based Confluence syntax === | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | Since 4.0 Confluence move 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. | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | * 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##). | ||
