This release is planned to the last before the final 1.0 release

release). The 1.0 release is still planned for end of April.

New in this release:

numbering in headings

       o Generated heading id-s are not unique
       o Save & Continue button switches you from the Global Rights  
tab to the Preferences tab
       o Levels and Users properties are saved with an extra empty value
       o Fail to import a XAR exported with history
       o Calling $xwiki.refreshLinks() do not seem to generate  
backlinks for all pages
       o XML content inside {code} macro is rendered in the WYSIWYG  
editor
       o Bug when deleting attachment with accent with XWiki in UTF-8  
encoding
       o Empty groups on XWiki.XWikiAllGroup, XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup  
and XWiki.XWikiGroupTemplate
       o Empty rights in Global Rights and in some spaces
       o Missing PDF templates for new PDF export configuration feature
       o Edition of a user do not show empty fields any more
       o Only if in the style macro has icon parameter then apply  
stylemacro class for the default value of class parameter.(to show  
icon image)
       o Do not display the register link if the current user do not  
have the register right
       o Global access levels are displayed in the local rights editor
       o The editor (wiki and wysiwyg) textarea in new skin don't  
fill 100% the editor panel
       o Cannot create pages with non ASCII characters in the XWiki  
standalone distribution
* Document that importing documents will replace the existing  
versions and specially explain how to import XWiki user documents
* Improve documentation for the Attachment and Skins pages of the  
User Guide

IMPORTANT: XWiki 1.0 RC 2 fixes an important security issue in past  
releases where passwords were stored in clear in the database.  
Passwords are now hashed. If you are upgrading from a previous  
version, any new user or any password update will automatically get  
the password hashed. However existing users who do not change their  
passwords will still have their passwords in clear in the database.  
Thus, we are providing a tool to automatically hash all passwords  
from an existing database.
