| 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 adds options for the Kebab-case Page Naming strategy. Work is progressing on integrating Blocknote as a new WYSIWYG block editor in XWiki (directly converting from Blocknote internal syntax to XWiki syntaxes without going through Markdown), and the preparation work to integrate Cristal inside XWiki is also advancing. This release contains security fixes, with the [[highest severity being 7.1/10>>doc:dev:Community.SecurityPolicy.WebHome||anchor="HSeverity"]]. | ||

| 68 | |||
| 69 | == Automated testing == | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | 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): | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | {{include reference="TestReports.ManualTestReportSummaryXWiki1810.WebHome"/}} | ||

| 85 | = Security Issues = | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | Security issues are not listed in issue lists or dashboards to avoid disclosing ways to use them, but they will appear automatically in them once they're disclosed. See the [[XWiki Security Policy>>dev:Community.SecurityPolicy.WebHome]] for more details. | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | = Known issues = | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | * [[Bugs we know about>>https://jira.xwiki.org/issues/?jql=category%20%3D%2010000%20AND%20issuetype%20%3D%20Bug%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20ORDER%20BY%20updated%20DESC]] | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | == General Notes == | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added: | ||
| 98 | ** ##xwiki.cfg## | ||
| 99 | ** ##xwiki.properties## | ||
| 100 | ** ##web.xml## | ||
| 101 | ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml## | ||
| 102 | * 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. | ||
| 103 | |||
| 104 | == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} == | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | === Removal of WikiManager.Dashboard page === | ||
| 107 | |||
| 108 | The ##WikiManager.Dashboard## page was automatically installed in subwikis but no link was leading to it and it contained deprecated code. It [[has been decided>>https://forum.xwiki.org/t/remove-wikimanager-dashboard-from-xwiki-standard/18171]] to remove it from XWiki Standard, so you will be prompted to decide whether you want to remove it (default) or keep it during an upgrade. | ||
| 109 | |||
| 110 | === Scripts manipulating password properties in queries are broken === | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | Any HQL query aiming at performing operations in XObjects password properties will be broken after the upgrade: those scripts needs to be adapted to ensure to query the property values in [[the new dedicated table>>Documentation.DevGuide.DatabaseSchema.DsXWikiPasswords.WebHome]] for password properties instead of querying it in StringProperty table where it used to be stored. Note that XWQL queries are not impacted since those don't explicitely indicate the type where the properties are stored. | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | The following APIs were modified since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 18.0.1: | ||
