Thomas Mortagne 36.1 10 We've discovered an [[issue with IE9 related to cursor position when editing in the WYSIWYG editor and using the Flamingo skin>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11206]]. If you're using IE9 and Flamingo you may want to postpone any upgrade to 6.2.3 (or after).
Guillaume Delhumeau 33.1 11
Thomas Mortagne 36.1 12 Also, we have discovered some issues related to the usage of the same skin (eg: xwiki:XWiki.DefaultSkin) in different wikis ([[XWIKI-11304>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11304]], [[XWIKI-11300>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11300]] and [[XWIKI-11302>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11302]]). If you are concerned by this use-case, you should wait for the upcoming 6.2.3 version.

Thomas Mortagne 36.1 22 The Flamingo skin was introduced as experimental in XWiki 6.0 & 6.1 and has been deemed usable in XWiki 6.2. However we're still tuning details. It happens that we did not all agree on the location of the "Add" button (some wanted it inside the content, next to the "Edit" buttons and others wanted it back at the top - You can [[follow the discussion here>>http://markmail.org/message/jqbcj4p4ryc56sms]] if you're interested ;)). Thus we've decided for the moment to put it back at the top where it was in the Colibri skin in order to not force our users to learn a new location for the moment. This is still a discussion in progress and if you have inputs and preferences please do not hesitate to let us know on the [[XWiki Users Mailing List>>dev:Community.MailingLists]] or on the [[related Issue>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11167]]. Thanks!

75
76 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.
77
78 == API Breakages ==

Vincent Massol 31.1 80 There is no API breakage since XWiki 6.2.1 and 6.2.
