Wiki

In order to be consistent with the old Workspace Application (that was bundled by default in 5.2.x), the default rights for new subwikis has been modified.
Now, a subwiki is viewable by everyone by default.

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.

For developers

The default preferences page for XWiki has been moved from xwiki-platform-administration-ui to xwiki-enterprise-ui-mainwiki and xwiki-enterprise-ui-wiki. It allows us to have different default settings for main wiki and subwikis.

If you rely on xwiki-platform-administration-ui to have default settings, you should update your projects.
