| 18 | |||
| 19 | We've also modified the default syntax configuration when you start with a fresh new XWiki; by default the only configured syntax is the XWiki Syntax 2.1. To add more you need to install extensions offering new syntaxes or go to the Admin UI to configure more syntaxes for those bundled by default in XWiki. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | * Default XWiki Syntax 1.0 configuration has been removed from ##xwiki.cfg## and is now [[documented here>>extensions:Extension.Old XWiki 1\.0 syntax renderer||anchor="HConfiguration"]]. | ||

| 78 | == General Notes == | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | 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. | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | == Issues specific to XWiki XWiki 8.2 Milestone 1 == | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | * The ##xwiki.rendering.syntaxes## configuration property from ##xwiki.cfg## has changed purpose. It's now used only to define the **initial** list of active syntaxes. Then an Admin can go to the Admin UI to enable or disable syntaxes. | ||
| 85 | * Support for the Markdown syntax is no longer bundled by default and needs to be [[installed as an Extension>>extensions:Extension.Markdown Syntaxes]] if needed. | ||
