13.2 | 7 | {{error}} |
 |
15.1 | 8 | We have discovered [[an issue with velocity macros defined in a skin's template files not being accessible inside XWiki documents>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11342]]. If you are relying on such a behavior in your custom skins, you might want to follow up on this issue and stay tuned for the next release. |

| |
12.5 | 11 | This milestone brings a couple of improvements to Extension Manager, Panels Application and the Space Deletion UI, together with a couple of developer oriented features such as a JSON service for Solr and a better and cleaner (HTML5-friendly) way of storing and obtaining in JavaScript information about the current document. Also, 31 bugs were fixed in this release, so this makes it yet another reason to upgrade and try it out. |

| 28 | |||
| |
1.1 | 29 | == Miscellaneous == |
| 30 | |||
| 31 | * The standalone distribution now uses Jetty 9.2.3.v20140905 (was using version 8.1.15.v20140411 in XWiki 6.3-milestone-1). This should be transparent for the user since XWiki provides its own start/stop scripts around Jetty. | ||
| |
14.2 | 32 | * The Delete Space feature now lists the documents inside the space you are going to delete. This should help people differentiate between the UI of Delete Page and the UI of Delete Space so that fewer mistakes occur when not paying much attention:(( |

1.1 | 65 | |
| 66 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | == General Notes == | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | 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. | ||
