9 {{error}}This release introduce a new internal group cache in the security module. This group cache is affected by a serious issue. In certain situations, it causes group members not to be recognized as such, leading to incorrect access decisions. If you follow the XWiki best practices for setting rights (which recommends to minimize use of denies), this issue will result mostly in unexpected access denials, which obviously does not seriously compromise the security but cause real annoyance to legitimate users. See {{jira url="https://jira.xwiki.org" style="enum"}}XWIKI-12016{{/jira}} for more technical detail about this issue.{{/error}}
