| 88 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | == General Notes == | ||
| 91 | |||
| 92 | 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. | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | == Issues specific to XWiki 7.4 Milestone 1 == | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | * Better backward-compatibility for URLs has been added for the following 2 cases: | ||
| 97 | ** 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 | ||
| 98 | ** The ##view## action can be specified even when the wiki is configured to hide the ##view## action. | ||
| 99 | ** Note that this fixes [[some backward-compatibility issue introduced in XWiki 7.2>>ReleaseNotes.ReleaseNotesXWiki72||anchor="HURLs"]] | ||
