5 This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version.
6
7 In this version we've improved the Navigation panel by allowing pages to be excluded from the listing. We've added a new macro for Notifications that allows it to be embedded in other pages. We've also improved the History's Changes view by providing more navigation options between versions. We've continued to tweak the edit protection, added in the previous version, for some default extension pages (like Skin, Color Themes, Dashboard, Sandbox, etc.).

59
60 == General Notes ==
61
62 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.
63
64 == Issues specific to XWiki 10.4 ==
65
66 * The ##Global## wiki macro visibility value now has a different meaning than previously. It now means that if the page is in the main wiki the macro will be available for the whole farms (i.e. on subwikis too) and if the page is in a subwiki, it'll be available only to that subwiki (i.e. same as the ##Wiki## visibility in this case). Thus if you had some wiki macro which need to apply to all wikis but is currently stored in a subwiki you'll need to:
67 ** Move it to the main wiki
68 ** or copy the macro page in all wikis where you need to have it available

70 == API Breakages ==
