3 First and last milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 2.2 version ([[Roadmap>>enterprise:Main.Roadmap]]).
4
5 This release mainly introduces new Model and the possibility to register wiki macros for any user or wiki.
6
7 = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 2.1.1) =
8
9 == Contextual wikimacros ==
10
11 It's now possible for any user to register wiki macro anywhere and in any wiki.
12
13 For example if the user does not have the proper right, only he will see the macro he registered, then an admin can re-save it to make it available for everyone if the macro is validated.
14
15 == New Model module with Reference implementation ==
16
17 The goal is to provide APIs to remove all String manipulations around documents and attachment names. It also introduces the concept of reference for any entity of the model and the parser/serializer associated. For now Wiki, Space, Document and attachment are supported; classes objects and properties should come in milestone 2.

61 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
62
63 == General Notes ==
64
65 {{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 <tt>xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,...//.{{/warning}}
66
67 You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from the improvements listed above.
68
69 {{warning}}Always make sure you compare your //xwiki.cfg// file with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. 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.{{/warning}}
70
71 == Migration Notes ==
72
73 * The new parser/serializer for document names comes with new features and changes a little some behaviors:
74 ** introducing escaping means that you can now find ##\## character when some character needs to be escaped (not to break the document name): ##Space.Docu\.ment## is in fact space=##Space## and document=##Docu.ment##. Note that escaping is always used when absolutely necessary you will not have something like ##wiki\.name:Space.Document##
75 ** support for the syntax ##wikiname:Document## has been dropped, the parser is able to complete before (find the wiki when ##Space.Document## is parsed) but not in the middle, so in this example "wikiname:Document" will be seen as the document name because no ##.## has been found
