| 16 | 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. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | This release comes with two usability improvements: the authentication process is now easier to discover, and editing the avatar in the user profile is now easier. It also brings minor accessibility improvements, as well as technical modules that will be useful to improve security in the future. | ||
| 19 | This release contains security fixes, with the [[highest severity being 8.7/10>>doc:dev:Community.SecurityPolicy.WebHome||anchor="HSeverity"]]. | ||

| 96 | |||
| 97 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 98 | |||
| 99 | == General Notes == | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added: | ||
| 102 | ** ##xwiki.cfg## | ||
| 103 | ** ##xwiki.properties## | ||
| 104 | ** ##web.xml## | ||
| 105 | ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml## | ||
| 106 | * Add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## in ##xwiki.cfg## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to any new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything. | ||
| 107 | |||
| 108 | == Issues specific to {{velocity}}$product $version{{/velocity}} == | ||
| 109 | |||
| 110 | * With the [[update of the registration UI>>||anchor="HUpdatedtheregistrationUI"]], there are some new items by default in the top navigation bar. Instances hiding the drawer from guest users will probably want to disable those two new Interface Extensions when migrating. | ||
| 111 | |||
