| 5 | This is the release notes for [[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]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | This is an improvement and stability release for things started during the 5.x cycle. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | {{error}} | ||
| 10 | A few hours after the release was done we've realized that this version [[contains a bug>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-1353]] that makes it not usable as is: it's missing 2 important pages: ##XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup## and ##XWiki.XWikiAllGroup##. If you plan to use this version make sure you import those 2 pages from this [[XWiki 5.3 XAR>>http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/org/xwiki/platform/xwiki-platform-administration-ui/5.3/xwiki-platform-administration-ui-5.3.xar]] for example. Otherwise please use XWiki 5.4 RC1 or later. | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | It also seems upgrade from a previous version to this one is broken (some that are deleted while they should not). See [[the issue>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9863]] for details. | ||
