I've prepared for XWiki SAS's Seminar a presentation reviewing the improvements and new features we added inside XWiki Enterprise between version 2.4 and version 5.1. 

For features that existed before 2.4 there is a comparison view of how it looks now and how it looked back then. I've also listed the people that were involved in making the features come true.  …

Yesterday we had our Bug Fixing Day #31. For the 5.x development cycle we've decided to intensify our bug fixing and invert the bugs created vs bugs fixed ratio so that we're always in the green, by having weekly BFDs.

We managed to close 5 bugs (5 real fixes). We've succeeded in closing more bugs during the last 1300 days than bugs created!  (We're ahead by 3 as of now...). Great job everyone! 1300 days is more than 3.5 years. That's a great achievement already. …

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 5.1. This release comes with Solr search enabled by default. The search UI has been redesigned and the search backend has been greatly improved. A new Menu application is now avaible to help you create navigation menus that ca be placed after the header or in a side panel. Beside this, a lot of bug fixes (124) and small improvements (53) make this release worth trying.

See the release notes for more information.

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 5.1 Release Candidate 1. This is mostly a stabilization release leading to XWiki 5.1 and it brings Sorl search improvements and bug fixes as we plan to make Solr the default search engine in 5.1 final. There is also a new Menu Application in platform (not bundled by default) to help you create navigation menus.
