14 * New experimental support for other syntaxes (Confluence, JSPWiki, Creole, MediaWiki, TWiki and XHTML), including a new XWiki Syntax v2.0 (work in progress, see [XWiki Syntax 2.0 Draft>dev:Drafts.XWikiSyntax20]).#info("To start entering page content using the new syntaxes, you must be logged with admin rights, go to the page you wish to edit and change the Syntax for the page to the one you wish to use. Note that all syntaxes except the XWiki 1.0 and XWiki 2.0 ones have important limitations (like links not working).")
15 * New experimental WYSIWYG editor (Work In Progress)#info("The look & feel is not the final one. Please look at the [new WYSIWYG Design page>dev:Design.NewWysiwygEditorInterface] to see what it'll look like (except for the colors which will be different). To activate the new editor you must be logged with admin rights, go to the page you wish to edit, change the Syntax of the page to <tt>XWiki 2.0</tt> (right panel in edit mode), save. From then on when you edit with the WYSIWYG editor you'll be using the new editor. For some details about the new syntax please see the [XWiki Syntax 2.0 Draft>dev:Drafts.XWikiSyntax20]. Again this is work in progress but we'd like *as much feedback as possible*. Known issues with the editor:\\- TODO (Marius to fill)")

30 1.1 Common Migration notes
31
32 #warning("If you're running in a multiwiki setup you'll also need to define the property <tt>xwiki.store.migration.databases=all</tt> to your <tt>xwiki.cfg</tt> file or explicitely name all databases to be migrated as in <tt>xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,...</tt>.")
33
34 You may also want to [import the default wiki XAR>Main.Download] in order to benefit from improvements listed above.
35
36 #warning("Always make sure you compare your <tt>xwiki.cfg</tt> file with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Of note, you should add <tt>xwiki.store.migration=1</tt> so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.")
