| 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 accuracy of the attachment list when viewing an older version of a document, adds the identifier of the cluster member in the footer when clustering is enabled, and adds various improvements for developers. This release contains security fixes, with the [[highest severity being 9.3/10>>doc:dev:Community.SecurityPolicy.WebHome]]. | ||

| 87 | |||
| 88 | 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. | ||

| 94 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | == General Notes == | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added: | ||
| 99 | ** ##xwiki.cfg## | ||
| 100 | ** ##xwiki.properties## | ||
| 101 | ** ##web.xml## | ||
| 102 | ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml## | ||
| 103 | * 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. | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} == | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | === HTML HEAD UIXP === | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | The [[##org.xwiki.platform.html.head## UIXP>>Documentation.DevGuide.ExtensionPoint.HTMLHead]] is now injected by the skin which ensures that this UIXP is always injected. Before that change, if the user had an empty ##meta## xproperty ("HTTP Meta Info" field in the Admin UI) and started adding something in it, then ##meta.vm## was not used anymore and the UIXP was no longer injected and XWiki would fail in some places (like code using vue.js will fail, e.g., LiveData). | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | What you need to do when upgrading: Check that the following lines are not present in your "HTTP Meta Info" field, and if they are, remove them (otherwise the UIXP will be injected twice which should be harmless but still not good): | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 114 | #foreach($uix in $services.uix.getExtensions("org.xwiki.platform.html.head", {'sortByParameter' : 'order'})) | ||
| 115 | $services.rendering.render($uix.execute(), 'xhtml/1.0') | ||
| 116 | #end | ||
| 117 | {{/code}} | ||
| 118 | |||
| 119 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | The following APIs were modified since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 18.2.1: | ||
