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.

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.

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.
