Contents

This is the release notes for XWiki Commons, XWiki Rendering and XWiki Platform. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version.

This release is the first release of the new 14.10.x LTS branch (replacing the 13.10.x LTS). It is mainly a bugfix release that covers important issues that we have discovered since 14.10.1 has been released, but it also contains some improvments in code macro and include macro. It also contains fixes for several security vulnerabilities, making it a recommended upgrade.

New and Noteworthy (since Failed to execute the [velocity] macro. Cause: [The execution of the [velocity] script macro is not allowed in [xwiki:ReleaseNotes.Data.XWiki.14\.10\.2.WebHome].

For Users

Split Office Content into Nested Pages

 
The Office Importer Application has been improved to generate (by default) non-terminal (nested) pages when the "Split document" option is selected, if the target wiki page is also non-terminal. The following strategy was implemented:

  • if the target wiki page is terminal then the "child" pages created by the split operation are also terminal
  • if the target wiki page is nested (non-terminal) then:
    • the "child" pages are also nested, if the current user is simple
    • advanced users have a checkbox to control whether the "child" pages are terminal or not, but by default they are not

Besides this, we also did a couple of small improvements to the office import form to:

  • filter office files based on media type (when browsing the local file system)
  • improve existing field labels and hints, adding missing hints
  • hide UI elements that are not relevant for the office import operation
  • perform the office import asynchronously and redirect the user directly to the imported page after a successful import operation

Include Macro Author

 
It's now possible to control which author should be used to execute the target of include macro. See Include Macro for more details.

Code Macro Source

 
The code macro now have an alternative way to indicate the content to highlight, which allows highlighting a script value or the content of an entity stored in the XWiki database. See Code Macro for more details.

Miscellaneous

  • Extension previous identifiers: It's now possible to explicitly indicate a list of previous identifier (or an empty list) if you don't want to import all the features along with the extension in the Repository Application. See Maven for more details.

Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes

General Notes

  • When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
    • xwiki.cfg
    • xwiki.properties
    • web.xml
    • hibernate.cfg.xml
  • Add xwiki.store.migration=1 in xwiki.cfg so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to any new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.

Issues specific to Failed to execute the [velocity] macro. Cause: [The execution of the [velocity] script macro is not allowed in [xwiki:ReleaseNotes.Data.XWiki.14\.10\.2.WebHome]. Check the rights of its last author or the parameters if it's rendered from another script.]. Click on this message for details.

  • Translations with user scope now require script right. A new configuration option allows disabling this check.

  • This release introduce some new Japanese translations that might cause error logs such as:

    SQL Error: 1366, SQLState: HY000
    Incorrect string value: '\xC4\xBEa zd...' for column 'XWD_CONTENT' at row 1
    Incorrect string value: '\xC4\xBEa zd...' for column 'XWD_CONTENT' at row 1

    Those errors shouldn't impact you unless you're trying to use Japanese language, in which case you need to ensure to use a database encoded with utf8mb4. You can find details on https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20517.
