7 This version brings some usability improvements such as simpler to use Include and Display macros, a new experimental and more performant notification store, and a lot of developer-level improvements (the work continued for the new User API, easier to implement inline editing of forms, API to modify configuration sources, a Mail obfuscation API, and more).

64 * When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
65 ** ##xwiki.cfg##
66 ** ##xwiki.properties##
67 ** ##web.xml##
68 ** ##hibernate.cfg.xml##
69 * 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.

79 We changed the behaviour of this kind of URLs: ##myxwiki/edit/MyPage/?editor=object&xaction=objectAdd##. This **xaction** parameter used to save the added xobjects, but it's not the case anymore. Please refer to [[this documentation>>xwiki:Documentation.DevGuide.Architecture.URL Architecture.Standard URL Format||anchor="HAction:objectadd"]] for adding xobject to a page.
