| 5 | This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]] and the [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. | ||

| 7 | This release features a major restructuring of the XWiki Enterprise distribution by converting it into the XWiki Standard Flavor. User features cover notifications by email, attachments list showing icons and image previews, recommended template at page creation, LiveTable date and multilist filters, and minor visual improvements. Admins can more easily customize the look and feel by the extended use of Icon Themes and the improvements done to setting the wiki logo. Finally, devs have a new API for working with wiki components, new icon theme mappings and notifications API improvements. | ||
