For Developers
REST API improvements
It's now possible to get a page with everything but attachment content: for this you can enable various part of the document using the following URL parameters:
- objects: enable returning document objects
- class: enable returning document class properties
- attachments: enable returning document attachments
They are all disabled by default.
Page objects support has also been added to the Page PUT API.
See The XWiki RESTful API for more details.

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.
