You will have to call blame in loop with each revised list, starting from the most recent one, until all element are annotated. 238 + 239 +See [[Blame Module>>extensions:Extension.Blame Module]] for more information. 240 + 110 110 == Upgrades == 111 111 112 112 The following dependencies have been upgraded: 113 113 114 -* <list libraries that have been upgraded> 245 +* [[Bootstrap 3.2.0>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10579]] 246 +* [[HTML5Shiv 3.7.2>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10615]] 247 +* [[Jetty 8.1.15>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10653]] 248 +* [[Maven 3.2.2>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-616]] 249 +* [[JFreechart 1.0.19>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10689]] 250 +* [[Joda-Time 2.4>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10692]] 251 +* [[xalan 2.7.2>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10694]] 252 +* [[Groovy 2.3.6>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-625]] 253 +* [[Velocity Tools 2.0>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-5347]] 254 +* [[Jython 2.7-b3>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10837]] 255 +* [[httpclient 4.3.5>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-631]] 256 +* [[Guava 18.0>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-632]] 257 +* [[Apache FOP 1.1>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8351]] 258 +* [[Maven 3.2.3>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-634]] 259 +* [[JGroups 3.4.5>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10890]] 260 +* [[HTMLCleaner 2.9>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-635]] 261 +* [[Font Awesome 4.2.0>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10913]] 115 115 116 116 == Miscellaneous == 117 117 ... ... @@ -119,12 +119,40 @@ 119 119 * A new parameter ##targetQueryString## has been added to the UI Extension points [[##org.xwiki.platform.panels.Applications##>>platform:ExtensionPoint.AddApplicationUIX]] and [[##org.xwiki.platform.panels.Applications.more##>>platform:ExtensionPoint.MoreApplicationUIX]]. 120 120 * New ##com.xpn.xwiki.api.Collection#getValue(String name)##.
