Issues specific to XWiki 5.1 Milestone 1

• The data type of the 'email' property from the user profile has changed from String to Email, a specialized type introduced in 4.2. Unfortunately this change doesn't apply automatically when you upgrade from an older version so you have to do it your self:
  1. edit XWiki.XWikiUsers with the class editor
  2. delete the 'email' property
  3. add a new property of type Email named 'email' with 'e-Mail' as pretty name
  4. save
  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.
