The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki
7.2.
This release is probably one of the biggest releases we have done in XWiki
for years (more than 900 commits)! We have worked hard during all the
summer to finally achieve the introduction of a new concept: Nested Pages.
This big change affects both the platform and the user interface, and you
will discover many differences while using XWiki.
For developers, this release also introduces a new Script right and some
changes in the REST, Job and Refactoring modules, just to list a few...
Finally, it also brings a lot of bugs fixes!
You can download it here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download
Make sure to review the release notes:

Just wondering...
In the release notes you always have a section "Tested Browsers &
Databases".
You list several browser and several databases that you support and how they
have been tested. None of the browsers and databases are being tested (or so
you say :-).
Regarding the supported browsers, you mention IE8 and IE9 in your release
notes, but on your Browser Support Strategy
<http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BrowserSupportStrategy> ,
IE8 and IE9 are listed as NOT supported. IE10 and up is.
Copy-paste of old info?

Yes thanks for raising this up, there are several issues:
1) We have a process issue: There are some community members doing testing of XWiki
releases but they do it *after* a version has been released (they tested RC1 for example,
see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/Re
leaseNotesXWiki72RC1#HTestedBrowsers26Databases, which leads
to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/TestReports/ManualTestReportXWiki72RC1#… if
you click. In 7.2RC1 they’ve only tested on Chrome 45 and HSQLDB 2.3.2 for example.
Usually they test on various browsers and DBs only for the final release (i.e. 7.2 here).
Thus when the Release is made the report is not ready yet.
2) The Release Notes for 7.2 final seems to be missing some parts at the end. That seems a
glitch. For example it’s missing "Known issues” and "Backward Compatibility and
Migration Notes” sections
3) The Template used for Tested Browsers & Databases is wrong: as you rightly
mentioned, support for IE8/9 has been dropped recently.
For 1), I’ve
updated http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki72#HTeste… and
I’m changing the Release Notes templates to reflect this so that we don’t display false
information in the future.
For 3) I’m updating the Template too
For 2) I’ll add the missing parts
Thanks
