5 This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commokns.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.

9 = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 5.3 Milestone 2) =
10
11 [[Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 5.3>>http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=11698]].
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 ==
20
21 * We added a hint to explain the 'No language' value in the language search facet(((
22 {{image reference="search-languageFacet-noLanguageHint.png"/}}
23 )))
24 * We improved the way a custom interval is specified in the date search facet(((
25 {{image reference="searchDateFacet.png"/}}
26 )))
27 * Added new configuration parameter for the Link Checker: ##rendering.transformation.linkchecker.excludedReferencePatterns## (See [[Reference documentation>>extensions:Extension.Link Checker Transformation]]).
28 * If you want to change the wiki owner or the prettyname of the wiki, you cannot go to the "Wiki" section of the Wiki Administration anymore since it's been removed for the moment due to some technical issue. Instead, go to the Wiki Index and then click on the "edit" action corresponding to the wiki for which to update the settings.

72 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.
