58 == General Notes ==
59
60 When upgrading make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg##, ##xwiki.properties## and ##web.xml## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or added. Note that 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.
61
Thomas Mortagne 10.1 62 == Issues specific to XWiki 10.3 ==
Guillaume Delhumeau 1.1 63
Thomas Mortagne 10.1 64 === Filesystem storage by default for attachments and deleted documents ===
Guillaume Delhumeau 1.1 65
Thomas Mortagne 10.1 66 New attachments and deleted documents will now be stored in the filesystem by default. If you really don't want that you can go to ##xwiki.cfg## and set ##hibernate## value for all the properties in the section "Stores with both "hibernate" and "file" support in XWiki Standard.".
67
Andreea Chirica 20.4 68 Note that existing attachments or deleted documents are not moved to filesystem but keep working since XWiki now supports mixed storage for those. So if you don't want to place any attachment on the filesystem store make sure to move to "hibernate" before executing the ##Distribution Wizard##.
Thomas Mortagne 10.1 69
Thomas Mortagne 13.1 70 === Warning when editing a page ===
71
Andreea Chirica 20.5 72 10.3 introduces edit protection for standard pages but also indicates which page is OK to edit. In 10.3 most pages are protected (it's the default). If you get a warning on what should be a valid page don't hesitate to report it since we are still tuning this feature.
