10 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 4.0 Milestone 2 version) = | ||
11 | |||
12 | == Extension Manager improvements == | ||
13 | |||

15 | |||
16 | == User profile customization == | ||

18 | {{todo/}} | ||
19 | |||
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}} | ||

72 | |||
73 | {{info}} | ||
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. | ||
75 | {{/info}} | ||
76 | |||
77 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above. | ||
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. | ||
