Hello,
I'm sorry but I'm completely confused about upgrade on myxwiki.org :-( .
When I enter in the Wiki admin pages I see a warning message at the top
asking me to perform an upgrade of the XAR: "*December 29: Upgraded xwiki to
version 4.4-rc-1. Don't forget to upgrade your wiki with the new XAR file
<http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/org/xwiki/enterprise/xwiki-enterprise-ui-all/4.4-rc-1/xwiki-enterprise-ui-all-4.4-rc-1.xar>
(Upgrade instructions
<http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade#HUpgradingwikidocuments>).*"
Rather than importing the xar file I would prefer to use EM (Extensin
Manager) because my Wiki has already been customized and I want to manage
"conflicts".
When I search with EM "standard" search, all extensions are already upgraded
to 4.4-rc-1 version: for instance "XWiki Platform - Extension - Script /
4.4-rc-1 / Installed by default" => so do I realy need to upgrade?
Due to Thomas answer (see below) I've tried to use advanced search in EM but
it doesn't show any results, what should I search for? ("4.4*" or
"upgrade/"
return no results).
Also in answer below Thomas suggests that it's possible to update Wiki (on
myxwiki.org only?) to any version thru EM, for instance am I able to upgrade
to the latest xwiki-enterprise-ui-all-4.5-rc-1.xar
<http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DownloadCode/DownloadFeedback?downloadLink=http://download.forge.objectweb.org/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise-ui-all-4.5-rc-1.xar&projectType=Latest&projectVersion=4.5-rc-1&projectID=1>?
There is two very different things here: the WAR containing the core
extensions and the XAR containing the UI extensions. When we upgrade
myxwiki.org we upgrade the WAR and let each wiki admin take care of
the UI (since we don't really know what they changed in their wiki and
what need to be merged). The message you see in the administration is
old and was written like this before EM even exist which is why it
does not talk about it.
The standard search only search in http://extensions.xwiki.org and XE
UI is not registered there and even if it was this search would return
you only the last version which is not what you want. Advanced search
is not fuzzy search like the standard one, you need to provide the
exact id and version of the extension you want which allow it to find
the extension on repositories for which the search is not supported
like maven repositories. In your case that would be
org.xwiki.enterprise:xwiki-enterprise-ui-all (i.e. groupid:artifactid)
for the id and 4.4-rc-1 for the version.
Thanks for your clarification (it's hard to be a newbie)

Hello,
Here
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade#HUpgradingwikid…
it is stated "Starting with XWiki 4.2 you are able to use the Extension
Manager to perform XAR upgrades that support automatic merges and
conflict
resolution."
Is it true for all XWiki versions? because I'm not able to find any
"upgrade
extension" in Extension Manager on myxwiki.org.
Thansk for your help,
There is not upgrade button yet but you can install any version you
want using "advanced search" and it's going to do an upgrade if you
already have a previous version installed.
