Miscellaneous
- Mail API has been slightly modified to fix a bug when waiting for all mails to have been processed (the waitForProcessing() wasn't really waiting!). As a consequence calls to MailResult.waitTillProcessed(long timeout) and MailResult.isProcessed() have been replaced by calls to MailStatusResult.waitTillProcessed(long timeout) and MailStatusResult.isProcessed(). Note that for backward compatibility reason the scripting API still supports the old API (but it's deprecated and you should move your code to use the new API).
- Mail Status Store API has been refactored to provides ordered result based on any status fields. A new method also ease loading a single status for a given messageId.
See the full list of JIRA issues fixed in this release.
For Developers
Mail API: Send prepared mime message to multiple users as independent message
A new mime message cloning factory (hint "message") is available to be used with iterator factories. It duplicates a given source message as is, to allow sending it to multiple users as independent messages. See Example 5 of the documentation for a sample.

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.
