85 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
86
87 == General Notes ==
88
89 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.
90
91 == Issues specific to XWiki 7.4 Milestone 1 ==
92
93 * Better backward-compatibility for URLs has been added for the following 2 cases:
94 ** If the ##view## action is omitted in the URL and the first space name doesn't match an action name, then the "view" action is implied
95 ** The ##view## action can be specified even when the wiki is configured to hide the ##view## action.
96 ** Note that this fixes [[some backward-compatibility issue introduced in XWiki 7.2>>ReleaseNotes.ReleaseNotesXWiki72||anchor="HURLs"]]
