Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes

General Notes

• When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
  • xwiki.cfg
  • xwiki.properties
  • web.xml
  • hibernate.cfg.xml
• Add xwiki.store.migration=1 in xwiki.cfg so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to any new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.

Issues specific to XWiki 16.10.11

For security reasons, we're enforcing a limit of at maximum 1000 results per database and Solr search query. This affects the REST API, but also other sources of search results like LiveTable and Live Data data sources. In particular in the REST API, there are some endpoints that previously didn't use pagination by default that now only return the first 1000 results. If you're relying on results being complete by default, you might need to adjust your use of the REST API to use pagination. The query limit can be configured and disabled in case you want to restore the previous behavior.

API Breakages

The following APIs were modified since XWiki 16.10.10:
