Thomas Mortagne 1.1 8
Manuel Smeria 9.1 9 === New features: ===
Thomas Mortagne 1.5 10
Manuel Smeria 9.1 11 * Improved rights management (experimental and not active by default). The old rights management UI was too difficult to use and thus we have created a new Ajax-based UI, much easier to use and that scales well with the number of users/groups. Note that this new UI replaces the old one in XWiki Enterprise 1.2.

Manuel Smeria 9.1 82 == Upgrading from any version ==
Thomas Mortagne 1.1 83
84 Upgrading from 1.1 Milestone 4 or later doesn't require any special steps, as there weren't any changes in the core structure.
85
Thomas Mortagne 13.1 86 If you've been using XWiki prior to version 1.1 Milestone 4, then you may have noticed that the document version and the history do not match (there's an offset of one in the printed versions, the history being one version smaller). We have fixed this and we are providing a patch for you to run on your wiki installation. To run the patch install the [[RCS Fix XAR>>attach:[email protected]]] file using the [[Importer Tool>>Documentation.AdminGuide.ImportExport]] and then go to the XWiki.FixRCS page and follow the instructions.
Thomas Mortagne 1.1 87
Manuel Smeria 9.1 88 {{info}}
89 You only need to run this patch if you're upgrading from a version prior to 1.1 Milestone 4 and if you want the versions displayed in the history to be in sync with the document's version displayed when you view the documents
