| 28 | === Feature version === | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | Each extension feature now have its own version. See [[extensions:Extension.Extension Module Virtual Extensions]] for more details. | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | === Namespace constraint === | ||
| 33 | |||

| 35 | |||
| 36 | In Maven you can do that using ##xwiki.extension.namespaces## custom property. See [[Maven Connector>>extensions:Extension.XWiki Commons - Extension - Repository - Maven||anchor="HCustomproperties"]] for more details. | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | === Compare Extensions === | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | ##org.xwiki.extension.Extension## and ##org.xwiki.extension.ExtensionId## now implement Comparable to make easier manipulate them (order lists, find out if we are doing an upgrade or a downgrade, etc.). | ||

| 89 | == General Notes == | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | 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. | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | == Issues specific to XWiki 8.0 Milestone 1 == | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | * The WebDAV feature is now configured using Servlet 3.0 annotations. Make sure you deploy XWiki in a Servlet Container that is configured to discover Servlet 3.0 annotations (at least for the XWiki ##xwiki-platform-webdav-server-*.jar## JAR). If you're upgrading also make sure you edit your ##web.xml## to remove all the Servlet and Filter definitions for WebDAV (search for ##dav## in ##web.xml##). | ||
