| 5 | This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. | ||

 |
15.1 | 7 | Among other things, this release introduces the ability to **mention a user**, who will receive a notification each time she is mentionned in the content of a page, an object, or a comment. The **in-place editing** now offers the ability to **display and edit the source** (in the current syntax) of the page, and it is now possible to display the **context of a modification** in the "rendered diff" viewer. |
| |
1.1 | 8 | |
| |
15.1 | 9 | On the performances side, a **new asynchronous event store** (maily used for notifications) has been created, but is still not enabled by default. Also, the renaming of a page is now an "atomic" operation, meaning that some bugs we had while trying to rename a page which had a huge history are now fixed. |
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Some new tools has been added for the developers, and as usual, many bugs have been fixed during this month. | ||
