10 After the released we found that the [[upgrade to HTML Cleaner 2.20>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-1164]] broke some HTML cleaning features. We don't know the exact consequences but it's been fixed in XWiki 10.5 final.

76 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
77
78 == General Notes ==
79
80 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.
81
82 == Issues specific to XWiki 10.5 ==
83
84 === Dropped Groovy modules ===
85
86 The bundled ##groovy-all## JAR has been replaced by a discrete list of groovy JARs. We've dropped several JARs that we consider are not required by default in XWiki. We dropped the content of the following JARs: ##groovy-ant##, ##groovy-bsf##, ##groovy-cli-picocli##, ##groovy-console##, ##groovy-docgenerator##, ##groovy-groovydoc##, ##groovy-groovysh##, ##groovy-swing##, ##groovy-test##, ##groovy-test-junit5##, ##groovy-testng##.
87
88 === Filesystem storage by default for attachments and deleted documents ===
89
90 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 {{code language="properties"}}Stores with both "hibernate" and "file" support in XWiki Standard.{{/code}}.
91
92 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 the configuration to "hibernate" before executing the ##Distribution Wizard##.
93
94 == API Breakages ==
95
96 The following APIs were modified since XWiki 10.4:
