13 == Flamingo ==
14
15 Following the introduction of the Nested Documents feature, we have made some modifications to the Flamingo skin:
16
17 * For non terminal documents, we have introduced a "Page Administration", where you will find settings that concern the document and its children (it's actually the old space administration behind the scene). But we have also introduced 2 sections for setting rights on these pages:
18 ** a section to set rights for the document only.
19 ** a section to set rights for the document and its children.
20 * For terminal documents, nothing changes, you can change the access rights of the page in the "edit" menu. The only addition is a "Administer Parent" link in the "More actions" menu to administer the parent page (which again is the space administration behind the scene).
21 * The create action has been relooked (with the introduction of the "page type" field) and proposes to import an office document.
22 * A new "children" viewer is now accessible in the "more actions" menu, along with the other viewers.
23 * For Terminal Pages, a new "siblings" viewer is present, which replaces the old "space index" feature.

99 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.
