Release Notes for XWiki 12.6.2
This is the release notes for XWiki Commons, XWiki Rendering and XWiki Platform. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version.
This is a bugfix release that covers important issues that we have discovered since 12.6.1 has been released. In addition, a little improvement has been added on the comment section on the bottom of the pages, avoiding to load the "add comment" form when not needed.
