Release Notes for XWiki 13.10.5

Last modified by Ilie Andriuta on 2022/04/18

This is the release notes for XWiki Commons, XWiki Rendering and XWiki Platform. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version.

This is a bugfix release that covers important issues that we have discovered since 13.10.4 has been released. Further, it adds a small improvement to the link syntax.

The following regressions were introduced in this release (and found after it was released). Please check them out and if they impact you we recommend waiting to upgrade to a version where they are fixed.

New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 13.10.4)

Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 13.10.5.

It's now possible to use the ("/" separators based) page syntax to link attachments located on a different page. For that you should use the prefix pageAttach:.

For example:

pageAttach:My/Page/file.txt

image:pageAttach:My/Page/image.jpg

See Model Module for more details about the page attachment reference syntax.
