17 == Miscellaneous ==

19 * Rendering page performances have been improved when using the Flamingo skin (thanks to the usage of [[Less4j>>https://github.com/SomMeri/less4j]] for the integration of the LESS language).
20 * When deploying XWiki as ROOT [[you must now set the ##xwiki.webapppath## property to empty>>platform:Main.ShortURLs||anchor="HDeployingasROOT"
21 ]] as in:(((
22 {{code language="none"}}
23 xwiki.webapppath=
24 {{/code}}
25
26 The reason is that XWiki cannot guess the webapp context from the URL in this case. This seemed to work on previous versions but it was actually leading to errors from time to time, depending on what URL was used when doing the first request on the XWiki instance.
