| 5 | XE-1591|The best is to use the latest version of Java 8 (it's the best in general anyway). However you can check the comments in the issue for possible workarounds if you need to keep using an older version of Java 8. | ||

| 69 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | == General Notes == | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | 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. | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | == Issues specific to XWiki 8.3 == | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | === LDAP Module moved to Contrib === | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | The module containing among other things the standard LDAP authenticator [[has been moved>>doc:extensions:Extension.LDAP.Authenticator.WebHome]] and is not embedded anymore in XE. Starting with 8.3M1 you need to install it if you want to use it. See [[the release notes>>extensions:Extension.LDAP.WebHome||anchor="H8.3.x"]] for more details on what is different between the XWiki Platform module and the new Contrib Extension. | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | If you don't have any "pure" XWiki admin user to install the extension you can use ##superadmin## user. See [[documentation>>Documentation.AdminGuide.Configuration.WebHome||anchor="HEnablesuperadminaccount"]]. | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | === Cache module moved to XWiki Commons === | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | The only thing that changed is the id of the modules. If you have any dependency on those you just need to change ##org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-*## to ##org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-*## | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 88 | |||
