| 31 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | * The Annotations Application's Administration section has been updated to present the exception spaces as "locations", using the ##documentTree## macro. The behavior has not been changed.((( | ||
| 34 | {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki81M1@annotationsAdminSection.png" width="600px"/}} | ||
| 35 | ))) | ||
| 36 | * The [[Gadget's title>>extensions:Extension.Dashboard Macro||anchor="HGadget27stitile"]] has now a default value which is internationalized. | ||
| 37 | * Put a link to the product home page in the footer by default | ||
| 38 | * Template providers that are restricted to certain pages are now also available on the children of those pages. | ||
| 39 | * The [[Document Tree Macro>>extensions:Extension.Document Tree Macro||anchor="HParameters"]] has a new parameter to limit the number of child nodes displayed when a parent node is expanded for the first time. | ||
| 40 | * The ##xwiki.usedefaultweb## parameter from ##xwiki.cfg## has been removed. See below. | ||
| 41 | * Job module does not validate stored status at startup. This might improve a lot the startup time when there is a lot of status. Also there seems to still be use cases where XStream get lost in edge case when parsing, this was blocking the whole XWiki startup for a very long time. | ||

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. | ||
