16 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.

18 The main focus of this release is stabilization. In addition, a new UI is now proposed to administrate the rights that are provided by extensions. On a final note, more Livetables are migrated to Live Data and a few improvements are proposed to developers.

101 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
102 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
103 ** ##xwiki.properties##
104 ** ##web.xml##
105 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
106 * 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.
107
108 == Like Right moved to Extension Rights section ==

110 As explained in [[this dedicated release change>>ReleaseNotes.Data.XWiki.13\.5RC1.Entry001]], a new administration section has been provided for Extension Rights, and the Like rights should now be configured in there. So the Like right won't appear anymore in the Rights section of Administration, but all settings are kept as they were.
