New and Noteworthy

Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 0.9.

For Users

Breadcrumb

 
The breadcrumb is no longer a placeholder. It now properly displays the hierarchy of the current page for the following backends: FileSystem, GitHub and XWiki.

Attachments

 
It is now possible to see the attachments of a page in a tab at the bottom of wiki pages. Additionally, the tab also provides a form to upload new attachments.

The number of attachments is also presented at the top of wiki pages.

Autocompletion during links editing

 
When editing a link, and if the backend supports it, links suggestion is now available. Clicking on a suggestion from the list automatically update the link with the reference to the selected suggestion.

Miscellaneous

• Nextcloud Backend: It is now possible to use Nextcloud as a backend. Using this backend, wiki pages are stored in a .cristal hidden directory at the root of the user's drive.

  Currently, it is not possible to configure the Nextcloud user and password without editing Cristal sources.

• Support for internal links: It is now possible to define internal links (i.e., links to other pages of the same wiki) in addition to external links (i.e., links to any web page).

  • Internal links are serialized as [label](link).
  • External links are serialized as [[link|label]].

  Note: this is not yet supported in the editor, but it's supported when opening existing pages with internal links (e.g., XWiki pages with internal link).

• Link editing style: The appearance of the links editing UI have been improved to better match the style of the current design system.

Hierarchy Providers

 
Hierarchy resolvers have been introduced to support backend-specific logics to generate the hierarchy for a given page. The new breadcrumb feature relies on them and any future backend is expected to implement their own implementation.
