| 32 | |||
| 33 | == General Notes == | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | 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. | ||

| 37 | == Issues specific to XWiki 7.4.1 == | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | == Mail API Unique Message Identifier == | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | In order to solve [[XWIKI-12165>>https://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##. | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | == New Space prefix for wiki links == | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | 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]]##. | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 48 | |||
