 |
4.2 | 20 | == Annotations merged with Comments by default == |
| 21 | |||
| 22 | Starting with version 4.0M2, annotations have been merged by default with comments. More specifically, this means: | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | * The default annotation class is now XWiki.XWikiComments instead of AnnotationCode.AnnotationClass | ||
| 25 | * The Annotations tab is now replaced by the Comments tab where you can see both annotations and comments | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | {{warning}}If you were/are using a custom annotations class, other than the previously default AnnotationsCode.AnnotationsClass, in the annotations configuration then the merging-with-comments feature will not be available to you. What you can do is to enable back the Annotations tab by going to the Administration > Look and Feel > Page Elements and changing the value of "Show document annotations " from "No" to "Yes". Now you will still be able to use your custom annotations without being affected by the changes.{{/warning}} | ||

| 74 | If you're running in a multiwiki setup you'll also need to define the property //xwiki.store.migration.databases// in your //xwiki.cfg// file if you want to explicitly name some databases to be migrated as the default is now to migrate all databases. Database that are not migrated could not be accessed. | ||

| 78 | |||
| 79 | {{warning}} | ||
| 80 | Always make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg## and ##xwiki.properties## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Note that 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. | ||
