They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. | ||
| 6 | |||
 |
39.2 | 7 | This is mostly a stabilization release leading to XWiki 5.2 final and it brings a new "Home" top level menu (available when there is more than one wiki) and a new Distribution Wizard step to upgrade all wikis. The WikiStream framework has been improved and now can be used to export large wikis in XAR format. Besides this the new release includes 49 bug fixes and 16 small improvements. |

| |
28.1 | 20 | |
| |
23.1 | 21 | == Distribution Wizard Step to Upgrade All Wikis == |
| |
9.1 | 22 | |
| |
25.1 | 23 | We added a new step to the [[Distribution Wizard>>doc:platform:Features.DistributionWizard]] to update the default set of wiki pages on each of the existing wikis. This step is triggered only if you choose to upgrade the entire farm in the "Upgrade Mode" step. |

| |
16.1 | 38 | |
| |
40.1 | 39 | [[WikiStream>>doc:extensions:Extension.WikiStream Module]] is too young to be enabled by default and will require heavy testing. In the meantime you can try it by uncommenting {{code}}# xwiki.action.export.xar.usewikistream=1{{/code}} at the end of xwiki.cfg file. |

| 93 | |||
| 94 | == General Notes == | ||
| 95 | |||
| |
39.3 | 96 | When upgrading make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg##, ##xwiki.properties## and ##web.xml## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or 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. |
| |
1.1 | 97 | |

| 99 | |||
| |
39.5 | 100 | If you're upgrading from XWiki 4.5.x to this version you'll need to perform a full re-indexation when using the SOLR Search. This because in XWiki 4.5.x the SOLR search was experimental and we've completely changed the indexing format in XWiki 5.1. |
