5 This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Enterprise>>http://enterprise.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version.

12
13 == Import large XARs ==
14
15 It's possible to enable the use of new [[WikiStream>>doc:extensions:Extension.Wiki Stream Module]] framework in standard import action (used in the standard import UI for example). Among other things it allows importing a wiki XAR of pretty much any size.
16
17 [[WikiStream>>doc:extensions:Extension.Wiki Stream 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.import.xar.usewikistream=1{{/code}} at the end of xwiki.cfg file.
18
19 == Miscellaneous ==

21 <insert misc user stuff and important bug fix descriptions here in a list, when they are too small to warrant a section by themselves - Change the version in the URL below!>

65 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.
