The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 5.1. This release comes with Solr search enabled by default. The search UI has been redesigned and the search backend has been greatly improved. A new Menu application is now avaible to help you create navigation menus that ca be placed after the header or in a side panel. Beside this, a lot of bug fixes (124) and small improvements (53) make this release worth trying.
