46 === Moved Modules ===
47
48 * The [[Figure Macro>>doc:extensions:Extension.Figure Macro.WebHome]] has been moved to a [[contrib project>>https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/figure]] as it's [[not considered a core macro anymore>>https://forum.xwiki.org/t/moving-xwiki-rendering-macro-figure-out-of-xwiki-standard/12397]]. The main reason being that there's a [[##xwiki/2.1## syntax to represent an image caption>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.XWikiSyntax.WebHome||queryString="syntax=2.1&section=Images"]] that doesn't require any macro, and being able to add a caption to an image is considered the main use case. For other use cases, users are encouraged to install the Figure macro extension.

106
107 == General Notes ==
108
109 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
110 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
111 ** ##xwiki.properties##
112 ** ##web.xml##
113 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
114 * 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.
115
116 == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} ==
117
118 === Mail Configuration ===
119
120 When overriding mail configuration in a subwiki, the credential values (username and password) don't fall back to the main wiki or to the ##xwiki.properties## file if the SMTP host has been overriden for that subwiki. This allows to have different SMTP credentials in subwikis than in the main wiki. Thus, if you were overriding the SMTP host in a subwiki and that it was using the same credentials than the ones defined in the main wiki (for example), you'll need to also override them now.
121
122 == API Breakages ==
123
124 The following APIs were modified since {{velocity}}$product{{/velocity}} 15.3:
