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 | This release mostly focused on adding the ability to Like pages and changing the way to add a new comment. As usual it also fixes bugs and adds some other minor features. | ||
8 | |||
9 | {{error}} | ||
10 | Some important bugs have been discovered since XWiki 12.7 has been released: | ||
11 | |||
12 | * [[the display of the Like button is broken for some locales>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-17716]], but can be fixed locally in your wiki while waiting for the next release following the comments on the linked issue. | ||
13 | * [[some extensions don't work any more>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-17729]] because their JavaScript code is now minified and run in [[strict mode>>https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Strict_mode]]; we will disable strict mode in the next versions until we verify that all recommended extensions support it. | ||
14 | |||
15 | If one or several of these bugs impact you, then you should use the next version ([[12.7.1>>ReleaseNotes.Data.XWiki.12\.7\.1.WebHome]]) that has been released. | ||
