	</userInput>
</com.izforge.izpack.panels.UserInputPanel>
  3. ↑ If you are using automated installer files from previous releases and had email configured, you will need to add a new section of xml as of Obsidian 5.2.0 to handle a new UserInputPanel. Immediately after the UserInputPanel.16 closing brace, add the following: 
    <com.izforge.izpack.panels.UserInputPanel id="UserInputPanel.17">
    <userInput>
        <entry key="mail.type.selection" value="javax"/>
    </userInput>
</com.izforge.izpack.panels.UserInputPanel>
  4. ↑ There is a possibility of a breaking change to Embedded or REST API use due to the need to change the User Role enumeration from a Java enum to an enum-style class to support this feature. Bringing in the upgraded Obsidian library and compiling should reveal any such broken use of these enumerations. Needed changes should be minor and self-explanatory.
