13 == Flavors ==
14
15 {{warning}}
16 This feature is experimental and not bundled in XWiki by default. However, you can install and try it, but only for test purpose.
17 {{/warning}}
18
19 In the future, XWiki will offer different Flavors. A Flavor is a collection of applications. When you install a Flavor, you get a wiki fully configured for a use-case. In this release, we have implemented the ability to chose a Flavor when you create a new wiki.

32
33 == Miscellaneous ==
34
35 * Mail API has been slightly modified to fix a bug when waiting for all mails to have been processed (the ##waitForProcessing()## wasn't really waiting!). As a consequence calls to ##MailResult.waitTillProcessed(long timeout)## and ##MailResult.isProcessed()## have been replaced by calls to ##MailStatusResult.waitTillProcessed(long timeout)## and ##MailStatusResult.isProcessed()##. Note that for backward compatibility reason the scripting API still supports the old API (but it's deprecated and you should move your code to use the new API).
36
37 * Mail Status Store API has been refactored to provides ordered result based on any status fields. A new method also ease loading a single status for a given messageId.

41 = For Developers =
42
43 == Mail API: Send prepared mime message to multiple users as independent message ==
44
45 A new mime message cloning factory (hint "message") is available to be used with iterator factories. It duplicates a given source message as is, to allow sending it to multiple users as independent messages. See [[Example 5>>extensions:Extension.Mail Sender API||anchor="HExample5:SendapreparedmimemessagetoalistofUsersandGroups"]] of the documentation for a sample.

51 == Job progress notifications improvements ==
52
53 It's now possible to associate message to each step of the progress. Also a new API have been added to make easier to notify about progress in scripts.
54
55 See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Job+Module#HNotifyaboutprogress for more details.

61 * [[Less4j 1.11.0>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12000]]
62
63 == Miscellaneous ==
64
65 * The Mail module's prepare step now does a better handling of the ExecutionContext by cloning it. This way you can safely use it while rendering your mail's template, when you are using the velocity bindings. More details on [[XWIKI-12090>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12090]]

89 == General Notes ==
90
91 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.
