61 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
62
63 == General Notes ==
64
65 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.
66
67 == Issues specific to XWiki 10.3 ==
68
69 === Filesystem storage by default for deleted attachments and documents ===
70
71 New deleted attachments and 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 {{code language="properties"}}Stores with both "hibernate" and "file" support in XWiki Standard.{{/code}}.
72
73 Note that existing deleted attachments or 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 deleted attachment/document on the filesystem store make sure to move the configuration to "hibernate" before executing the ##Distribution Wizard##.
74
75 === Warning when editing a page ===
76
77 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.
78
79 == API Breakages ==
80
81 The following APIs were modified since XWiki 10.2:
