| 38 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | == General Notes == | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | 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. | ||

| 44 | == Issues specific to XWiki 7.4.1 == | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | == Mail API Unique Message Identifier == | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | In order to solve [[XWIKI-12165>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12165]], the unique identifier of each mime message sent has been changed to a SHA1 based on the ##Message-ID## header and the list of recipients of the mails, ensuring uniqueness during a newsletter or mailing sending. To introduce this change, the ##MailContentStore## and the ##MailListener API## has been broken, and now use a new ExtendedMimeMessage instead of the simple ##MimeMessage## for all arguments. The values ##messageId## returned or used as argument in the API is no more equivalent to the ##Message-ID## header, but is now the unique identifier returned by ##ExtendedMimeMessage#getUniqueMessageId()##. Finally, the ##MessageMimeMessageFactory## now returns cloned ##MimeMessage## without changing the ##Message-ID##. | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | == New Space prefix for wiki links == | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | We've introduced the possibility to explicitly create a link to a Space in XWiki Syntax 2.1, e.g. ##[~[space:Space1.Space2]~]##. However if you had a subwiki named ##space## the new notation will conflict with the syntax for referencing that wiki. Thus you'll need to edit existing links such as ##[~[space:something]~]## to ##[~[doc:space:something]~]##. And if you wish to reference a given space in the ##space## subwiki, you'd write ##[~[space:space:something]~]##. | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | The following APIs were modified since XWiki 7.4: | ||
