110 ** ##xwiki.properties##
111 ** ##web.xml##

Thomas Mortagne 1.1 116
Thomas Mortagne 5.1 117 As explained in [[this dedicated release change>>ReleaseNotes.Data.XWiki.13\.5RC1.Entry001]], a new administration section has been provided for Extension Rights, and the Like rights should now be configured in there. So the Like right won't appear anymore in the Rights section of Administration, but all settings are kept as they were.
