| 115 | == General Notes == | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | 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. | ||
| 118 | |||
| 119 | == Issues specific to XWiki 8.3 Milestone 1 == | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | === LDAP Module moved to Contrib === | ||
| 122 | |||
| 123 | The module containing among other things the standard LDAP authenticator has been moved to http://github.com/xwiki-contrib/ldap and is not embedded anymore in XE. Starting with 8.3M1 you need to install it if you want to use it. See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/LDAP/#H8.3.x for more details on what between the XWiki Platform module and the new Contrib Extension. | ||
| 124 | |||
| 125 | === Cache module moved to XWiki Commons === | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | The only thing that changed is the id of the modules. If you have any dependency on those you just need to change ##org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-*## to ##org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-*## | ||
| 128 | |||
