General Notes

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,....

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

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.

Incompatible Configuration Changes

  • The configuration option controlling the experimental CSRF protection mechanism introduced in 2.5 was changed from core.csrf.enabled to csrf.enabled.  If you are using CSRF protection, make sure to re-enable it by setting csrf.enabled = true in xwiki.properties.
  • The configuration option to define macro categories was changed from rendering.macroCategories to rendering.transformation.macro.categories. If you're using this option make sure you modify its name in xwiki.properties.
