(the modular > architecture > has appeared long time ago but it's not the default archi yet) It's been integrated a long time ago but we've decided to do integration rather than a big bang meaning we've started doing it slowly one piece at a time. Right now there are the following new parts in 1.6 which use the new component based architecture: - new velocity module - new rendering modules - new cache modules - new observation modules - new container/context modules - new query manager and probably some more. > Does it break any compatibility?

Right now we're working on 3 parts: - new rendering - new wysiwyg - new storage with jcr/query manager Future steps are: - write the new model - write the new storage > I need to have such information in order to know if I go on > upgrading using > the trunk because it brings some bug corrections without breaking any > existing things?

Don't worry about that. Note: the new rendering introduces a new column in the DB for documents: the syntax id. the old syntax is used when this field is empty, null or contains "xwiki/1.0".
