Issues specific to XWiki 18.4.7

Export URLs require a POST request

The export action now performs an export only for a POST request. Opening an export URL in a browser shows a "Confirm the Export" page from which the export is resubmitted, and a script calling the export action (a curl or wget backup, for instance) has to send a POST request instead of a GET one. An export format added through the org.xwiki.platform.template.exportFormats UI extension point whose URL targets the export action has to declare method=post.

API Breakages

The following APIs were modified since XWiki 18.4.6:

No breakage!
