They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version.

7 This milestone integrates the Ratings module inside platform, providing the ability to rate extensions inside the Extension Repository and visualise them inside Extension Manager. We have also added improvements for Flamingo Skin on the responsiveness aspect, reintroduced the Wiki configuration section in Administration and done massive work in augmenting the Mail Sender API to be able to send large number of emails.

22
23 It's now possible to rate extensions in [[Extension Repository>>extensions:Extension.Repository Application]] and any repository handler can expose extension rating that are displayed (read only for now) in [[Extension Manager>>extensions:Extension.Extension Manager Application]].

43 == Batch Mail Sending ==
44
45 The [[Mail Sender API>>extensions:Extension.Mail Sender API]] has been modified to support sending a large number of mails at once. In addition the [[Mail Admin UI>>extensions:Extension.Mail Application]] has been improved to display the statuses of mails (when they're sent by XWiki features specifying that the mail statuses should be persisted).

115 == General Notes ==
116
117 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.
