99 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
100
101 == General Notes ==
102
103 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
104 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
105 ** ##xwiki.properties##
106 ** ##web.xml##
107 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
108 * 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.
109
110 == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} ==
111
112 === Removal of Formula Macro ===
113
114 It was decided that the [[Formula Macro>>extensions:Extension.Formula Macro]] was not a core extension and should not present by default in XWiki Standard. This was mostly motivated by the fact that there's a [[MathJax Macro>>extensions:Extension.MathJaxMacro.WebHome]] offering similar features and we would like to promote it more over the Formula Macro as we think it provides a nicer visual result (amongst other features).
115
116 Thus when upgrading to XWiki 14.7+, the Formula macro will be removed from your wiki and you'll need to reinstall it (using a version >= 14.7) using the Extension Manager.
117
118 If you're a extension developer, this change can bring some small backward-compatibility issues:
119
120 * The ##PDFURIResolver## legacy class was removed
121 * The ##TexAction## class was removed
122 * The ##ImageData## and ##ImageStorage## classes were moved to the Formula Macro contrib extension
123
124 See [[this forum discussion>>https://forum.xwiki.org/t/what-do-we-do-with-mathjax-macro-vs-formula-macro-in-xs/10481]] for more details.
125
126 === Escaping of ##{## in XML context ===
127
128 For security reasons it was decided to also escape the character ##{## in ##XWikiUtils#escapeElementText## and the various Document#display APIs. It should not have any impact unless you use APIs like ##$doc.myfield## and expecting it to return a value which is a very bad practice since this API is actually a displayer and ###getValue('myfield')## should be preferred for this need.
129
130 == API Breakages ==
131
132 The following APIs were modified since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 14.6:
