Release Notes for XWiki Enterprise 1.9 Milestone 1

First milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 1.9 version (Roadmap).

Summary of changes since XWiki Enterprise 1.8.1

Main changes:

  • Document syntax can be changed from the WYSIWYG editor.

New Office Importer feature: document splitting

The Office Importer application now allows to split documents into multiple wiki pages during import.

Important bugfixes:

  • Various bugfixes in syntax 2.0.
  • Various bugfixes in the xwiki syntax 1.0 to 2.0 converter.

Known issues

Common Migration notes

If you're running in a multiwiki setup you'll also need to define the property xwiki.store.migration.databases=all to your xwiki.cfg file or explicitly name all databases to be migrated as in xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,....

You may also want to import the default wiki XAR in order to benefit from improvements listed above.

Always make sure you compare your xwiki.cfg file with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Of note, 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.
