Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes
General Notes
When upgrading make sure you compare your xwiki.cfg, xwiki.properties and web.xml files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or 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.
API Breakages
There is no API breakage since XWiki Enterprise 5.4.
