New and Noteworthy (since XWiki <version - 1>)
Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for <version>.
Flamingo
The "more options" menu have been split and a "page admin" menu has been created:
Breadcrumb
When the hierarchy of a nested pages is long, we do not display it entirely anymore. Instead, we display a limited version, that the user can expand by clicking on the "ellipsis" character ('...'):
- limited:
- full:
Note that this behavior have also been added to all hierarchy breadcrumbs, including location of search results, etc...
Page Index
Since we have introduced the concept of Nested Spaces we needed to replace the Space column in the LiveTable with a more generic solution. Thus, the Index Application has now merged the previous Page + Space columns into a single Location column and we've introduced new column (which is still called Page) but which now displays the title of pages, as can be seen on the following screenshot:
The same strategy is implemented for the children and the siblings viewers.
Miscellaneous
<insert misc user stuff and important bug fix descriptions here in a list, when they are too small to warrant a section by themselves - Change the version in the URL below!>

General Notes
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.
