32.2 | 10 | A few hours after the release was done we've realized that this version [[contains a bug>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-1353]] that makes it not usable as is: it's missing 2 important pages: ##XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup## and ##XWiki.XWikiAllGroup##. If you plan to use this version make sure you import those 2 pages from this [[XWiki 5.3 XAR>>http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/org/xwiki/platform/xwiki-platform-administration-ui/5.3/xwiki-platform-administration-ui-5.3.xar]] for example. Otherwise please wait for a new 5.4 release. |
