Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes

General Notes

  • When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
    • xwiki.cfg
    • xwiki.properties
    • web.xml
    • hibernate.cfg.xml
  • 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.

Change of macro priorities

The priority of the following macros has been changed from very high (10) to normal (1000):

  • include
  • display
  • context
  • template
  • uiextension
  • uiextensions

It means they have the same priority that most other macros so they will be executed in the order you see them in the wiki content instead of before previous macros, it's especially important when combined with script macros.

This hopefully fixes more confusion than causing problems but it could impact cases like:

  • if you include a document which contains macro which a very high priority, those macros used to be executed very early and they are now limited by the priority of the include macro

  • if you were including things to use in a script macro after that script macro, it won't work anymore:

    {{velocity}}
      #macroFromTheTemplate('value')
    {{/velocity}}

    {{template name="template/with/macros.vm"/}}

    doesn't behave as expected anymore and should instead be written as

    {{template name="template/with/macros.vm"/}}

    {{velocity}}
      #macroFromTheTemplate('value')
    {{/velocity}}

    because in the first version the velocity macro is going to be executed before the template macro (because it appear first in the content).

Change of default author when executing the include macro

For security reasons, it was decided to modify the default behavior of the include macro regarding the execution of the included content: if the content author of the target document does not have programming rights, the include macro will execute it right away with the right of the target document content author instead of just parsing it and returning the blocks.

Change of behavior for ComponentManager#getInstanceList

org.xwiki.component.manager.ComponentManager#getInstanceList and org.xwiki.component.manager.ComponentManager#getInstanceMap don't fail anymore by default, if one of the components fail to initialize. However, it's possible to still thrown an exception if needed, by using the @ComponentMandatory annotation, either on the component class, or at a higher level in the inheritance hierarchy (e.g. inside the role class), to impact all components who are a subclass of it.
