16 This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version.

18 This release brings links and attachments refactoring on the farm (i.e., cross wikis and sub-wikis), and an improved attachments listing now based on LiveData. In addition to the usual bug fixes (including 4 security fixes), this release also brings various improvements for administrators and developers.

90 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
91
92 == General Notes ==
93
94 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
95 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
96 ** ##xwiki.properties##
97 ** ##web.xml##
98 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
99 * 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.

101 == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} ==
102
103 === Changes in Solr search core ===
104
105 The schema of the Solr search core (the one used as source for document search in the UI) has been modified and will need to be resetted. This is done automatically in case of embedded Solr (the default) but is a manual process in the case of a standalone remote Solr install: you should remove the Solr core with name "xwiki" and reinstall it as documented on [[extensions:Extension.Solr Search API||anchor="HSetuparemoteSolrserver"]].
106
107 Also, since the version of Solr with which XWiki is tested (the version embedded in XWiki) has been upgraded to 8.11.2, it is highly recommended to make sure, if you use a remote standalone Solr setup, that you have an 8.11.x version of Solr (it may work with other versions but XWiki was not tested with them).
108
109 === PDF Export Application ===
110
111 Starting with this version, the new (experimental) [[PDF Export Application>>extensions:Extension.PDF Export Application.WebHome]] (not bundled in XWiki Standard yet) is using by default the user's browser to generate the PDF. In previous versions the default was to use a headless Chrome web browser running inside a Docker container. You can restore the previous behavior from ##xwiki.properties## by adding:
112
113 {{code language="none"}}
114 export.pdf.serverSide = true
115 {{/code}}
116
117 == API Breakages ==
