14 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.

16 This release improves the notification filter management, by separating the system filters from the user-made filters, and the notification settings management, by allowing administrators to access and modify notification settings for any user from the corresponding user profile. In-place editing has been improved to update various parts of the UI (breadcrumbs, navigation tree, tabs) on save. The links to create a missing page translation from the Information tab now open directly the in-place editor if that is your preferred editor. Moreover, the Translate button that was previously available when editing in-place is now available in view mode also, when it makes sense. Last but not least, the maximum size of page references, titles and short string properties has been increased from 255 to 768 characters.

93 == General Notes ==
94
95 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
96 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
97 ** ##xwiki.properties##
98 ** ##web.xml##
99 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
100 * 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.

102 == Issues specific to XWiki 13.2 ==
103
104 === Orphaned Pages Panel Removal ===
105
106 We removed the orphaned pages panel (see the [[forum discussion>>https://forum.xwiki.org/t/deprecating-the-orphaned-panel/]]). Consequently, the Extensions Manager will propose to remove the corresponding document (i.e., ##Panels.OrphanedPages##) during the upgrade.
107
108 If you wish to re-integrate the panel after its removal, you can do so by following the [[Create a new panel>>doc:extensions:Extension.Panels Application||anchor="HCreateanewpanel"]] instructions, and using the [[Orphaned Pages Panel>>doc:snippets:Extension.Orphaned Pages]] snippet.
109
110 === Old user, group, date and color pickers removed ===
111
112 The old **user**, **group**, **date** and **color** pickers are not bundled anymore. They were based on Prototype.js and were not used in XWiki Standard. We kept them so far in case someone was still using the old [[Colibri skin>>extensions:Extension.Colibri Skin]], which we stopped supporting a while ago. If you haven't written code that uses these pickers directly then you have nothing to worry because our current skin [[Flamingo>>extensions:Extension.Flamingo Skin]] provides an implementation of these pickers. If you're using the [[Velocity macros>>Documentation.DevGuide.FrontendResources.Pickers.WebHome]] that correspond to these pickers then you don't have to worry either. You only need to take action if you're using directly the JavaScript code of the old pickers. In this case you have two options:
113
114 * either update your code to use the new pickers
115 * or copy the old JavaScript code and the Velocity macros from the XWiki instance you're upgrading from.
116
117 == API Breakages ==
118
119 The following APIs were modified since XWiki 13.1:
