This is the release notes for Cristal.

The main improvement of this release is the ability to move and rename pages on the file system backend. Additionally, it is now possible to update the configuration of electron instance manually. Also, the file system and Nextcloud backends are now initialized with default content. Finally, users are now warned when leaving the editor with unsaved content.

New and Noteworthy (since Cristal 0.13)

Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 0.14.

For Users

Default content for the file system and Nextcloud backends

 
Until now, opening the file system backend or the Nextcloud backend could be a confusing experience as users were presented with empty content.
Now, the first time a file system or Nextcloud backend are accessed, a minimal default content is created, allowing users to start using the wiki more easily.

Page move and page rename for FileSystem

 
The page actions now include a Move action and a Rename action, that can be used to change the location of a page, and optionally the location of its children. These are only supported for the FileSystem backend so far.

Style changes for external links

 
Now, the external links on an XWiki document are marked properly with an icon.

Warning when leaving the editor with unsaved content

 
Users are now warned when leaving the editor with unsaved content. Either by navigating through internal links, or by closing the current tag (or window in the case of Electron).

Miscellaneous

• It is now possible to add configurations manually for electron: When starting an electron instance for the first time, a config.json file is initialized in the most relevant place based on the default settings of the operating system:

  • %APPDATA% on Windows
  • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config on Linux
  • ~/Library/Application Support on macOS

  Once created, it is possible to manually edit this file to add new configurations. See the backends section for more details.

• Page creation menu simplification: The Page Creation process has been streamlined by removing unnecessary fields.

For Admins

No changes!

For Developers

New configuration API

 
A configuration API is now available, allowing to access the configuration in specific ways based on how the UI is launched (e.g., in a web page or part of an electron application).

Checkbox component

 
A XCheckbox component was introduced to the design systems (both Shoelace and Vuetify), to be used in XForm environments.
