Standalone xwiki requirements (15.10 vs 16.6)

Hi all,

I have been trying xwiki, 15.10, in a fedora virtual machine, with the idea to, once I get it properly tuned, install it in an old laptop. The wiki is going to be small, only one user (me). As the resources are limited, I wonder if someone can indicate if 16.6 is more memory and CPU intensive than 15.10 (as I haven’t found any indication in the documentation).

Also, I am using Jetty, and Release Notes indicate “Not Tested”… although here indicates it is supported?

Thanks in advance!

Usually, newer versions have at least the same needs in term of memory than the previous version, sometimes it’s a bit more (more caching for better performance).

The difference between 15.10 (LTS ) and 16.6.0 (latest) is https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/VersioningAndReleasePractices#HVersionTypes

The only info we have is at https://test.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Performances/ but it’s not very precise and only done once per year ATM.

You’re right, the section is currently misleading in the Release Notes (eg https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/Data/XWiki/16.6.0/#HTestedBrowsers26Databases )… it’s actually about manual tests only but it’s not mentioned! We have automated tests for all supported environments (that’s why we support it).

@ilie.andriuta could you please fix this section of the release notes to make it clear that this only about manual tests and add a paragraph about automated tests and links to show the automated test results?

Thx
