Release Notes for XWiki Enterprise 1.7 Milestone 1

First milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 1.7 version (Roadmap).

Summary of changes since XWiki Enterprise 1.6

Main changes:
  • Work in progress on the new XWiki Syntax v2.0. You'll find information on how to enter content using the new syntaxes in the Page Editing Guide.

Common Migration notes

If you're running in a multiwiki setup you'll also need to define the property xwiki.store.migration.databases=all to your xwiki.cfg file or explicitely name all databases to be migrated as in xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,....

You may also want to import the default wiki XAR in order to benefit from improvements listed above.

Always make sure you compare your xwiki.cfg file with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Of note, you should add xwiki.store.migration=1 so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.
