<insert description of release here>

New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 10.2)

Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for <version>.

For Users

Edit protection

 
As with delete and rename operations, if a user tries to modify a page belonging to an Extension, a warning will be displayed to explain that it's very risky and it should be avoided.

10.4 will introduce configuration that helps the user have more control on this behavior (disable edit completely without even a warning, allow a user to hide this warning, etc.).

Auto Notifications on changes

 
Thanks to an improvement to the AutoWatch feature of the notifications, users now get notified on changes done to pages they previously edited.

For Admins

No changes!

For Developers

New document type in XAR extensions

 
It's now possible to indicate a type for each entry in a XAR extension. The type indicates what actions are allowed for a document once it's installed (edit, delete) and how it should be handled during upgrade (merge, skip, overwrite, etc.). See XAR package format for more details about this new property.

Priority between Notification Filters

 
Notifications Filter has now a getPriority() method, to handle advanced use-cases when a filter needs to have priority over some others.

Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes

General Notes

When upgrading make sure you compare your xwiki.cfg, xwiki.properties and web.xml files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or added. Note that you should add xwiki.store.migration=1 so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.
