32 * *Added [wiki syntax for embedded documents>platform:Main.XWikiSyntax#HEmbeddeddocuments28XWikisyntax20only29]*
33 * *Improved authentication performance for LDAP*. By default the authentication system now calls the authenticator only once by session, this means it does not call the LDAP authenticator and does not generate queries on the LDAP server for each request anymore. This can be changed using the <tt>xwiki.authentication.always</tt> configuration property in <tt>xwiki.cfg</tt>.

52 1.1 Common Migration notes
53
54 #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 explicitly name all databases to be migrated as in <tt>xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,...</tt>.")
55
56 You may also want to [import the default wiki XAR>Main.Download] in order to benefit from improvements listed above.
57
58 #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.")
