For Developers
Blame generic API and Script Service
Provides the implementation of the blame/annotate/praise algorithm.
Like the diff module API, this API is not tied to any type so you have to first transform the datas you want to blame into lists and you will be able to link them with any kind of revision metadata. Blame will link each elements of the initial list with the revision metadata of the original revision it came from. You will have to call blame in loop with each revised list, starting from the most recent one, until all element are annotated.
See Blame Module for more information.

General Notes
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.
