| 38 | |||
| 39 | The following dependencies have been upgraded: | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | * logback 1.0.13 | ||
| 42 | * commons-compress 1.5 | ||
| 43 | * commons-codec 1.8 | ||

| 51 | * A new URL parameter has been added to reference non aggregated JavaScript files: ##?minify=false##. See the [[Debugging Guide>>dev:Community.Debugging||anchor="HDebuggingJavaScript"]]. | ||
| 52 | * Added API to easily create a DocumentReference from a LocalDocumentReference | ||
| 53 | {{code language="java"}}DocumentReference documentReference = new DocumentReference(localReference, wikiReference);{{/code}} | ||
| 54 | * You can now provide a version summary (comment) when updating a page using REST. You can retrieve the version summary either by getting the page or by getting the page history, in which case you get the summary for each page revision. | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | = Translations = | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | The following translations have been updated: | ||
| 59 | |||

| 61 | |||
| 62 | = Tested Browsers & Databases = | ||
| 63 | |||
| 64 | {{include reference="TestReports.ManualTestReportXWiki51M1Summary"/}} | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | = Known issues = | ||
| 67 | |||

| 69 | |||
| 70 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | == General Notes == | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above. | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | {{warning}} | ||
| 77 | Always make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg## and ##xwiki.properties## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything. | ||
| 78 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | == Issues specific to XWiki 5.1 Milestone 1 == | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | * The data type of the 'email' property from the user profile has changed from ##String## to ##Email##, a specialized type [[introduced in 4.2>>ReleaseNotes.ReleaseNotesXWiki42||anchor="HNewfieldtypesforemailandlistofpages"]]. Unfortunately this change doesn't apply automatically when you upgrade from an older version so you have to do it your self:((( | ||
| 83 | 1. edit ##XWiki.XWikiUsers## with the class editor | ||
| 84 | 1. delete the 'email' property | ||
| 85 | 1. add a new property of type ##Email## named 'email' with 'e-Mail' as pretty name | ||
| 86 | 1. save | ||
| 87 | )))The values of both ##String## and ##Email## data types are stored in the same database table so there souldn't be any migration issues for existing users. | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | The following APIs were modified since <project> <version - 1>: | ||
