10 10  If you're upgrading from an older version and you use the new Distribution Wizard to upgrade your wiki pages you'll notice that it'll ask you to merge all pages that have been modified between your version and XWiki 4.2. This is because currently the Distribution Wizard doesn't know which version you have and thus asks you to perform the merge manually. This operation may take a long time (up to 20 minutes or so). Thus at the moment if you're upgrading from a previous version we recommend that you Cancel the Distribution Wizard and instead [[Import the new XAR>>platform:AdminGuide.Upgrade]]. This problem is [[reported in this issue>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8252]] and should be fixed in the next release.

42 +* information about core extensions is collected lazily and thus if you check distribution details just after starting XWiki you get incomplete information
43 +* installing or checking the details of the user interface extension takes a couple of minutes depending on your internet bandwidth and the load of the remote extension repository
44 +* some merge conflicts are reported even when the database is empty
