23 This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version.
24
25 This release improves the DocumentTree and Children macro usage from WYSIWYG by adding new pickers for some parameters and provides a refreshed look for the search results page. A new experimental feature is provided for admins (and developers) with the ability to save page attachments in Amazon S3 (or compatible stores).

75
76 XWiki executes a lot of [[automated tests during its build>>dev:Community.Testing.WebHome||anchor="HTestingStrategy"]], testing all [[supported configurations>>dev:Community.SupportStrategy.WebHome]]. In addition, some manual QA is also executed to try to discover additional problems (see below):
77
78 {{include reference="TestReports.ManualTestReportSummaryXWiki17100.WebHome"/}}
79
80 **NOTE**: This XWki version has been [[manually tested>>dev:Community.ManualTestStrategy]] by the QA and has been validated.

101
102 == General Notes ==
103
104 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
105 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
106 ** ##xwiki.properties##
107 ** ##web.xml##
108 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
109 * 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.

111 == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} ==
112
113 === Apache HttpClient 3 is not included in XWiki Standard anymore ===
114
115 Apache HttpClient 3 having an important vulnerability, it was removed from XWiki Standard 17.10.0-rc-1, 17.4.8 and 16.10.15. This means that an extension that relies on the fact that it's there without declaring it as a dependency won't work anymore. Of course it's true also for any custom script that expects it to exist.
116
117 While it's technically easy to reinstall extension ##commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient## (last version is 3.1), it's highly recommended to instead rewrite whatever code which needed it to use another library (like HttpClient 5, for example).
118
119 Note that to fully remove that dependency, we also had to remove the ##com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki#getHttpClient## API.
120
121 === Possible change in the wiki on which a REST request is authenticated ===
122
123 Starting with 17.10.0-rc-1, REST requests are authenticated on the wiki indicated in the path when using the format ##/rest/wikis/<wikiid>/##. It used to be authenticated based on the wiki matching the domain (so always the main wiki in the case of path-based multiwiki).
124
125 === The ##webjar-node## handler is now using ##pnpm## ===
126
127 The [[##webjar-node## Handler>>doc:dev:Community.WebJar Node Maven Handler.WebHome]], introduced in [[17.5.0>>doc:ReleaseNotes.Data.XWiki.17\.5\.0.WebHome||anchor="HImprovedsupportforwebjarbuiltusingnode"]] is now using ##pnpm## instead of ##npm##. All the packages using this handler in ##xwiki-platform## have been migrated.
128
129 If you are using this handler in a contrib extension, the main change is to remove the ##package-lock.json## located in ##src/main/node## and to produce a ##pnpm-lock.yml## instead by running {{code language="bash"}}pnpm install{{/code}} in the directory.
130
131 === Removal of withTip and useTitleAsTip CSS class behaviour ===
132
133 Two CSS classes were defined in the past for working around Internet Explorer limitations regarding values in form inputs: ##withTip## and ##useTitleAsTip##. However it was advised to not rely on those CSS class anymore and to rely on placeholder input attribute only. We now removed the support of those CSS classes in XWiki.
134
135 == API Breakages ==
136
137 The following APIs were modified since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 17.9.0:
