They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. 15: 16: This version brings a lot of usability improvements. The WYSIWYG editor (//CKEditor//) has been upgraded and proposes a better dialog for the creation of links. It is also possible to configure it from the administration. 17: 18: Application Within Minutes does not enforce anymore the location where the application's entries must be created, but proposes to the creator the places //where// and //from where// these entries should be. We have also get rid of the ##Data## page where the entries where created before. 19: 20: The default values of the user preferences are now better exposed to the users. The order of the applications in the [[application panel>>extensions:Extension.Panels Application||anchor="HApplicationPanel"]] can now be changed by the administrator. And the users now have the ability to filter the page types when they create a page. 21: 22: As usual plenty of less noticeable improvements are proposed, and 45 bugs have been fixed since XWiki 8.3. 23: 24: = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 8.3) = 25: 26: [[Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 8.4>>https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=13703]]. 27: 28: {{releasenotechanges/}} 29: 30: === Upgrades === 31: 32: The following runtime dependencies have been upgraded (they have a different release cycle than [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Enterprise>>http://enterprise.xwiki.org]]): 33: 34: * [[application-ckeditor 1.9>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-1594]] 35: * [[common-beanutils 1.9.3>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-1074]] 36: * [[commons-lang3 3.5>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-1085]] 37: * [[Jackson 2.8.4>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-1086]] 38: * [[Solr 6.2.1>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13027]] 39: 40: = Translations = 41: 42: The following translations have been updated: 43: 44: {{language codes="cs, da, de ,es, fr, it, lv, nl, pt_BR, ru, sk, sv, tr"/}} 45: 46: = Tested Browsers & Databases = 47: 48: {{include reference="TestReports.ManualTestReportSummaryXWiki84.WebHome"/}} 49: 50: = Performances tests compared to 7.4.5 = 51: 52: {{warning}} 53: This report is not ready yet. 54: {{/warning}} 55: 56: = Known issues = 57: 58: * [[Bugs we know about>>https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=category+%3D+%22Top+Level+Projects%22+AND+issuetype+%3D+Bug+AND+resolution+%3D+Unresolved+ORDER+BY+updated+DESC]] 59: 60: = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = 61: 62: == General Notes == 63: 64: 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.
