| 23 | This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | Users will see with this release a few UI improvements with a new mechanism to save unsaved changes when editing pages, and new macro configuration UI for document tree macro. Also, they will experiment a new security mechanism when accessing external links (only in comments by default), configurable by the admins. For those, this release also introduces new important features and APIs for cluster management, as well as important improvements in the Extension Repository Application released as part of XWiki Standard but not bundled with it. Finally, this release contains dependency upgrades, bug fixes and security fixes, with the [[highest severity being 5.3/10>>doc:dev:Community.SecurityPolicy.WebHome||anchor="HSeverity"]]. | ||

| 99 | ** ##web.xml## | ||
| 100 | ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml## | ||
| 101 | * Add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## in ##xwiki.cfg## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to any new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything. | ||
