  When scrolling down on a document, the content menu will follow, so the user will not have to scroll up on top of the page in order to access it.
  == Introduced [[XWiki Cryptographic Module>>code:Modules.CryptographicModule]] ==
++
  This module exposes high level api, allowing developers to bolster their security using cryptography for both integrity and confidentiality.
  You can find more information about the cryptographic module including examples at the code zone page for the [[XWiki Cryptographic Module>>code:Modules.CryptographicModule]].

--If you're running in a multiwiki setup you'll also need to define the property //xwiki.store.migration.databases=all// to your //xwiki.cfg// file or explicitly name all databases to be migrated as in //xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,...//.

Note 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.
--{{/warning}}

--== Migration Notes ==
--
--The main entry point for the search UI is now the Main.Search page that will use the configured search engine (Lucene by default). If you want to refer to Lucene or Database search explicitly you can use the ##Main.LuceneSearch## and ##Main.DatabaseSearch## pages. Note that nothing is broken here (##Main.WebSearch## page is still there and internally it includes the ##Main.DatabaseSearch## page), it's just the new clean way of targeting the search page.

--=== Removed deprecated flickr plugin ===
--
--The old flickr plugin was outdated and the API was broken, so, as a consequence, it has been removed. A new plugin will be available in the future. Meanwhile you can still find it in the contrib-retired at this [[link>>http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/retired/plugin-flickr/]].
--
--=== Update your web.xml ===
--
--Some servlet filters (SetCharacterEncodingFilter, used to handle character encoding and SavedRequestRestorerFilter, used to restore requests on login) were refactored and moved to another package. Make sure you update your //WEB-INF/web.xml// to the current version, otherwise XWiki server will fail to start.
