For Developers
New Space/XWikiSpace table
A new tables dedicated to spaces has been introduced. See DatabaseSchema for more details.
Queries improvement
Allow executing complete SELECT queries
In HQL and XWQL it's now possible to execute complete SELECT queries without programming right as long as you follow some rules currently defined in com.xpn.xwiki.internal.store.hibernate.query.HqlQueryUtils which is a list of database field allowed in the SELECT clause:
- Document/XWikiDocument table: fullName, name, space, language, defaultLanguage, translation, hidden
- Space/XWikiSpace table: reference, name, parent, hidden
New SecureQuery
The right to execute or not some query is now controlled by each org.xwiki.query.QueryExecutor.
Anyone can ask the executor to check or ignore right through the new org.xwiki.query.SecureQuery extending org.xwiki.query.Query:
- checkCurrentAuthor: indicate if the current author right should be checked
- checkCurrentUser: indicate if the result should be filtered based on current user right (only implemented by SOLR right now)

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.
