New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 7.3M2)

Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 7.3.

Miscellaneous

  • The breadcrumb tree navigation doesn't show the document translations any more when multilingual is disabled, because navigating to a document translation when multilingual is off doesn't have any effect: the default translation is displayed instead. You can still see the translations in the Page Index Tree though.
  • Template providers can now specify if they create terminal or non-terminal documents. See the documentation 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.
