38 We recently moved [[l10n.xwiki.org>>https://l10n.xwiki.org/]] to a new translation platform based on Weblate and we're still trying to figure out how to compute an accurate list of the locales that have been updated for real (excluding comments and whitespace changes). We hope to put back the list of updated translations in the next release notes.

60 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
61
62 == General Notes ==
63
64 When upgrading make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg##, ##xwiki.properties## and ##web.xml## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or added. Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.

66 == Issues specific to XWiki 10.6 ==
67
68 === User Picker Velocity Macro ===
69
70 The implementation of the ###userPicker*## and ###groupPicker*## Velocity macros has been modified. You should review the usage of these macros in your own (custom) code to make sure they still work as expected. We changed the JavaScript library used to fetch and display the suggestions and this lead to changes on the HTML structure of the user and group pickers. This means that you may have to update your code in case you did customizations on top of the old library. The ##userPicker.js## file has been deprecated (but it's still bundled) and the ##userPicker.css## file has been removed (but the styles have been integrated into the skin). We also deprecated the ##suggestUsers## and ##suggestGroups## CSS classes in favor of the new ##suggest-users## and ##suggest-groups##. You can still use the old CSS classes but you need to import ##userPicker.js## yourself.
