New lifespan LRU Cache setup
It's now possible to define the maximum time to live since the entry is put in the cache. It used to be possible to set it only since the last time the value was used.
LRUEvictionConfiguration lru = new LRUEvictionConfiguration();
// Set maximum size of the cache as 1000 entries
lru.setMaxEntries(1000);
// Set the maximum time to live since when the entry is used to 1 hour
lru.setMaxIdle(3600)

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.
