83
84 1.1.1 General Notes
85
86 #warning("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,....")
87
88 You may also want to [import the default wiki XAR>Main.Download] in order to benefit from improvements listed above.
89
90 #warning("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.")
91
92 1.1.1 Velocity macro cleaning
93
94 We changed the default filter for the Velcity macro. The new one only remove indentation white space and does not touch new lines or other white spaces anymore. The former one can still be used by putting
95
96 {code}
97 {{velocity filter="html"}}{{/velocity}}

105 The following APIs were modified since XWiki Enterprise 1.9:

109 ** ParseException constructor and methods have been modified since they were unused
110 ** XWikiXHTMLImageRenderer and XWikiXHTMLLinkRenderer classes have been moved to a XWiki-specific module so that the main Rendering module can be used standalone
111 ** Merged SimpleXHTMLImageRenderer and XWikiXHTMLImageRenderer into DefaultXHTMLImageRenderer which now handles the case where we're inside a wiki or not
112 ** Merged SimpleXHTMLLinkRenderer and XWikiXHTMLLinkRenderer into DefaultXHTMLLinkRenderer which now handles the case where we're inside a wiki or not
