Hi Ramon, users,
The upcoming XWiki 3.5.1 should work well. Your options now are:
- wait for 3.5.1 to be released (should be in a few days)
- use the latest 3.5 snapshot
- use 3.5 and manually apply the fixes for PostgreSQL:
-- use
https://raw.github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwik…
as the mapping file (don't forget to enable it in hibernate.cfg.xml)
-- run this script on the database, or each database if you're running
a virtual wiki farm with more wikis:
https://raw.github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwik…
Personally I'd recommend waiting for 3.5.1, since it's the safest
approach.
Well, it will work unless you have already entered some non-ascii data -
it is being corrupted while entering xwikircs.xwr_patch. If you've
already broken some data - let me know, I can share some suggestion how
to make the broken versioning at least operational. I've had a bad luck
(better say: didn't check if versioning works after upgrade) and now I
have a few weeks of patches to repair.
In short, we've had to:
* for records craeted before upgrade - import xwikircs data from backup
* for records created between update and switching hibernate mapping to
text - convert non-UTF characters to whatever, what can be entered (and
read) without error to database
Cheers,
