| 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. | ||

| 9 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 6.0 Milestone 2) = | ||

| 13 | == Distribution Wizard improvements == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | The Extensions step now lets global administrators choose between: | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | * computing the upgrade plan for the entire farm | ||
| 18 | * computing the upgrade plan only for the main wiki + global namespace | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | The first option is suited when the farm is managed by a single entity while the second option is suited when each wiki in the farm is managed by a different entity. Obviously computing the upgrade plan for the entire farm takes longer (with the number of wikis) than computing the upgrade plan only for the main wiki. | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | {{image reference="checkForUpdates-done.png"/}} | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | Extensions are now sorted by their name (but still grouped by wiki) and paginated on the Extensions step. | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | We also paginated the Wikis step, which could have been pretty long if you had many wikis. See the [[Distribution Wizard documentation>>platform:Features.DistributionWizard]] for more information. | ||
| 27 | |||

| 72 | == General Notes == | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | 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. | ||
