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.
