14 If you're upgrading from an older version and you use the new Distribution Wizard to upgrade your wiki pages you'll notice that it'll ask you to resolve conflicts on almost any pages that have been modified between your version and XWiki 4.3. This is because currently the Distribution Wizard doesn't know which version you have and thus asks you to perform the merge manually. This operation may take a long time (up to 20 minutes or so). Thus at the moment if you're upgrading from a previous version we recommend that you Cancel the Distribution Wizard and instead [[Import the new XAR>>platform:AdminGuide.Upgrade]]. This problem is [[reported in this issue>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8252]] and should be fixed in release 4.4.

16
17 This is the release notes for XWiki Platform, XWiki Enterprise and XWiki Enterprise Manager. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version.
18
19 This release brings several improvements in Workspaces, Extension Manager, Distribution Wizard, the REST API, new field pickers (Date, User and Groups), improved translation registration and new experimental Solr search.
20
21 = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 4.2) =
22
23 == Default date picker ==
24
25 The date picker from [[AppWithinMinutes>>extensions:Extension.App Within Minutes Application]] is now the default picker for all [[XClass>>platform:DevGuide.DataModel]] properties of type Date. This means that you'll get a date picker when editing an object with a Date property even if you didn't use AppWithinMinutes to create the XClass.
26
27 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M2@DatePicker.png"/}}
28
29 If for some reason you don't want to use the new date picker then you can edit the XClass and uncheck "Use Date Picker" for the Date property.
30
31 == User and Group picker ==
32
33 We added a user and group picker that is used by default for all [[XClass>>platform:DevGuide.DataModel]] properties of type "List of Users" and "List of Groups". When multiple selection is enabled, each selected user is added to the list above the picker. You can remove individual users from the list of selected users or you can clear the entire list.
34
35 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M2@userPicker-editMultiple.png"/}}
36
37 In single selection mode whenever you select an user it overwrites the previously selected user.
38
39 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M2@userPicker-editSingle-objectEditor.png"/}}
40
41 The list of selected users is displayed in view mode in a similar way. For each user there is a link to their profile page.
42
43 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M2@userPicker-viewMultiple.png"/}}
44
45 The group picker behaves in the same way. The group alias is the name of the group document, the group name is the title of the group document while the group avatar is the first image attached to the group document.
46
47 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M2@groupPicker-editMultiple.png"/}}
48
49 The user and group picker can be configured to display a scope toggle that can be used to switch between local and global user/group suggestions.
50
51 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M2@userPicker-scope.png"/}}
52
53 You can check this if you edit a group from a subwiki (in a multiwiki environment).
54
55 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M2@groupSheet-edit.png"/}}
56
57 == New 'Title' and 'Content' fields for App Within Minutes ==
58
59 We added two new field types to the field palette: Title and Content. They are very useful if you want to store some of your data in the title and/or the content of your application entries. All the rest of the field types store their values in object properties, i.e. in an object attached to the application entry. See the [[App Within Minutes documentation>>extensions:Extension.App Within Minutes Application||anchor="HFieldPalette"]] for more details.
60
61 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M2@AWM-fieldPalette.png"/}}
62
63 == Workspace Templates ==
64
65 Similar to what admins were doing with the [[Wiki Manager Application>>extensions:Extension.Wiki Manager Application]], we noticed the need for the [[Workspace Application>>extensions:Extension.Workspace Application]] to allow users to choose what type of workspace they want to create.
66
67 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M1@workspaceTemplates.png"/}}
68
69 Please see the current workaround for [[creating workspace templates>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8285]] (as admin) until an easy UI becomes available.
70
71 == Experimental Solr based search engine ==
72
73 A new and experimental search engine based on [[Apache Solr>>http://lucene.apache.org/solr/]] is now available.
74
75 The new search UI offers advanced search features and results highlighting. Future versions will also include [[Faceted Search>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_search]].
76
77 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M2@solrSearchFilters.png"/}}
78
79 The new engine has it's own index, separate from the Lucene one, which is stored by default in the ##<permanent directory>/solr## folder. In the same folder you can also access Solr's configuration files together with the index's schema.xml which you can tweak to achieve better results. To change this folder's location, you can either pass the ##-Dsolr.solr.home## system property when you start the application container (tomcat/jetty/etc.) or you can set the ##search.solr.home## property in ##WEB-INF/xwiki.preferences##.
80
81 For now, indexing is done only __manually__ by using the Search Administration UI. Because of this, in order to get any search results, you have to go to ##Administration > Applications > Search## and index/reindex the wiki. Any changes in the content of the wiki will not be searchable until you manually reindex. This limitation will be removed in future versions, once the feature matures.
82
83 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M2@solrSearchAdmin.png"/}}
84
85 This new search engine is not enable by default, since Lucene is still the default one, but, if you wish to try it out, it can be enable by going to ##Administration > Applications > Search > Search engine to use## and selecting ##Solr (Experimental)##.
86
87 == Extension Manager improvements ==
88
89 {{warning}}
90 If you're migrating from a version older than 4.2 or without any properly installed UI extensions you will notice that the Applications panel is not visible by default. This is caused by [[this issue>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8461]] which should be fixed in XWiki 4.4. More specifically the XWiki Object Property for the Panels list in ##XWiki.XWikiPreferences## can't be merged in this situation and your old value is kept by default if you don't specifically choose to move to new version when getting the conflict resolution UI (Note that the conflict UI will wrongly indicate that there's no changes). You thus need to manually go the the Administration and add the ##Panels.Applications## name to the Panels list.
91 {{/warning}}
92
93 === UI ===
94
95 When you click on "Show details" to get more information about an extension, the extension manager tries to resolve all the dependencies of that extension by making requests to the configured remote extension repositories. These requests slow down considerably the time needed to display the extension details. We fixed this by resolving only the local dependencies at first and then making consecutive AJAX requests to resolve the remote dependencies.
96
97 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M1@EM-AsyncDependencyLoading.png"/}}
98
99 The install and uninstall plan is now progressively displayed while it is being created. This is especially useful for the Distribution Wizard since you don't have to wait anymore for the install plan to be created without getting any feedback about its progress.
100
101 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M1@EM-liveInstallPlan.png"/}}
102
103 As you can see in the previous image, we also limited the height of the progress tab and the extension job log is automatically scrolled to the end while the job is running.
104
105 === Private repositories ===
106
107 Maven and XWiki repositories now support authentication. You can indicate a user and a password in ##xwiki.properties## file the following way:
108
109 {{code language="properties"}}
110 extension.repositories=privatemavenid:maven:http://host.com/private/maven/
111 extension.repositories.privatemavenid.auth.user=someuser
112 extension.repositories.privatemavenid.auth.password=password
113
114 extension.repositories=extensions.xwiki.org:xwiki:http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/rest/
115 extension.repositories.extensions.xwiki.org.auth.user=someuser
116 extension.repositories.extensions.xwiki.org.auth.password=password
117 {{/code}}
118
119 == Distribution Wizard improvements ==
120
121 The welcome step now lists only the available steps. For instance, when you install XWiki for the first time you don't have any extensions to upgrade so the "Extensions" step is not available.
122
123 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M1@DistributionWizard-emptyDatabase.png"/}}
124
125 When a step is done we visually mark it.
126
127 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M1@DistributionWizard-stepDone.png"/}}
128
129 == Miscellaneous ==
130
131 * XWiki's multiwiki feature (a.k.a "virtual mode") now works with the HSQLDB database
132 * It's now possible to configure the LDAP timeout. See ##xwiki.authentication.ldap.timeout## property in xwiki.cfg file.
133 * New available [[Rendering syntax>>rendering:Main.WebHome]]: [[APT>>http://maven.apache.org/doxia/references/apt-format.html]]
134 * Technical pages of the [[IRCBot Application>>extensions:Extension.IRC Bot Application]] are now hidden and the application now registers itself in the Application panel:(((
135 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M1@ircbotapp.png"/}}
136 )))
137 * Search Admin UI improvements ({{jira style="enum" url="http://jira.xwiki.org"}}XWIKI-8408{{/jira}}):(((
138 {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki43M2@searchAdminUINew.png"/}}
139 )))
140 * Automatically register translations for the FAQ and IRCBot applications
141 * XWiki Enterprise Manager does not override QuickLinks panel anymore, made useless by the new Applications panel
142 * Important Bug Fixes:
143 ** Fixed failure to import Office documents when using Filesystem Attachments.
144 ** Fixed regression that caused "share by email" and "reset password" functions to fail to send any email.
145
146 See the [[full list of JIRA issues>>http://jira.xwiki.org/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-printable/temp/SearchRequest.html?jqlQuery=project%20in%20(XCOMMONS,%20XRENDERING,%20XWIKI,%20XE,%20XEM)%20and%20status%20=%20Closed%20and%20resolution%20=%20Fixed%20and%20fixVersion%20in%20(%224.3-milestone-1%22,%20%224.3-milestone-2%22,%20%224.3-rc-1%22,%20%224.3%22)]] fixed in this release.
147
148 = For Developers =
149
150 == New Localization Module ==
151
152 A new localization module has been introduced to replace the old XWikiMessageTool.
153
154 See [[extensions:Extension.Localization Module]] for more details.
155
156 == REST API improvements ==
157
158 Some improvements have been done to the REST API in order to allow more powerful searches of the data stored in the wiki.
159
160 * Results can be ordered using the ##/wikis/{wikiName}/search## and ##/wikis/{wikiName}/spaces/{spaceName}/search## resources with the following parameters:
161 ** //orderField//: one of the XWiki document field, as specified in [[HQL Query Examples in Velocity>>platform:DevGuide.velocityHqlExamples]]
162 ** //order//: ##asc## or ##desc##". By default ##asc## is used.
163
164 * Advanced search queries can be specified using ##/wikis/{wikiName}/query## resources with the following parameters:
165 ** //q//: the query to be executed (it depends on the query type)
166 ** //type//: ##hql##, ##xwql## or ##lucene##. Depending on the query type, the //q// parameter will contain a query matching the type
167 *** For ##hql## it's like a searchDocuments query, as shown in specified in [[HQL Query Examples in Velocity>>platform:DevGuide.velocityHqlExamples]].
168 *** For ##xwql## the user is allowed to use XWQL syntax for short queries ([[XWiki Query Language Specification>>dev:Design.XWiki Query Language Specification]])
169 *** For ##lucene## it's a standard Lucene query handled by the Lucene plugin ([[Lucene Plugin>>extensions:Extension.Lucene Plugin]])
170 ** Standard parameters like //start//, //number// can be specified to control the number of the results to be returned.
171
172 * Multi-wiki Lucene search using the ##/wikis/query## resource with the following parameters:
173 ** //q//: the Lucene query handled by the Lucene plugin ([[Lucene Plugin>>extensions:Extension.Lucene Plugin]])
174 ** //wikis//: a comma separated list of wikis where to perform the search.
175
176 * XARs can be imported in Wikis by POSTing it to the /wikis/{wikiName}
177 * New wikis can be created using the /wikimanager resource. (This resource is only available with XWiki Enterprise Manager)
178
179 For more information see [[XWiki RESTful API>>platform:Features.XWikiRESTfulAPI]]
180
181 In addition there was an XWiki REST API refactoring done with the introduction of a new ##xwiki-platform-rest-api## module containing all resource declarations. This is important for client and modules willing to use the REST API so that they can have all the information about resources using Java annotation. See [[XWiki RESTful API>>platform:Features.XWikiRESTfulAPI]].
182
183 == Easy creation of new XClass property types ==
184
185 It's now possible to create your own [[XClass property types>>platform:DevGuide.DataModel||anchor="HXWikiClasses2CObjects2CandProperties"]] without having to patch XWiki's old core. [[Adding a new property type>>platform:DevGuide.CreatingNewXClassPropertyTypes]] is as easy as implementing a component. This means you can extend the [[class editor>>platform:Features.PageEditing||anchor="HClasseseditingmode"]] and even the [[App Within Minutes>>extensions:Extension.App Within Minutes Application||anchor="HFieldPalette-1"]].
186
187 == Execution context property declarations ==
188
189 Execution context properties can now be associated with various metadata attributes. See [[the documentation on the execution context>>doc:platform:DevGuide.SavingData||anchor="HExecutionContext"]] for more information.
190
191 == New Scope property for wiki components and UI extensions ==
192
193 A scope can now be defined for [[wiki components>>extensions:Extension.WikiComponent Module]] and [[UI extensions>>extensions:Extension.UIExtension Module]], it allows to restrict for which wiki(s) or which user they will be available:
194
195 * Current Wiki, the component/UI extension will be available in the current wiki
196 * Global, the component/UI extension will be available in all the wikis (wiki farms)
197 * Current User, the component/UI extension will only be available for its author
198
199 == Deprecated and Retired projects ==
200
201 * The ##userdirectory## and ##usertools## plugins have been retired since they were unmaintained and mostly replaced by other features such as the Invitation module.
202
203 == Upgrades ==
204
205 The following dependencies have been upgraded:
206

224
225 == Miscellaneous ==
226
227 * New ##org.xwiki.rendering.block.CompositeBlock## introduce to allow passing several Blocks as one Block
228 * New ##$services.model.getEntityReferenceValue## method that returns the value configured for a specific entity type
229 * Many classes in the REST API Server module that were not meant to be part of the public API have been moved to internal packages. This was done to correct a mistake that was done when the REST API module was initially developed.
230 * Fixed a bug about incorrect results in multi-wiki lucene search in the REST API.
231 * Add a ##java.util.Locale## converter which allow:
232 ** using Locale in rendering macro parameter(s)
233 ** support Java method with Locale parameter(s) in Velocity. See [[Method Arguments Uberspector>>extensions:Extension.Velocity Module||anchor="HMethodArgumentsUberspector"]] for more details.
234 * Various String language based API of ##com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki## and ##com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument## classes are now deprecated for their newly introduced ##java.util.Locale## equivalents.
235 * Activity Stream UI and Color Theme UI have been moved to their own modules.

282
283 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
284
285 == General Notes ==
286
287 You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above.
288
289 {{warning}}
290 Always make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg## and ##xwiki.properties## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.
291 {{/warning}}
292
293 == Issues specific to XWiki 4.3 ==
294
295 * Since the ##userdirectory## and ##usertools## have been retired you'll need to make sure that your ##xwiki.cfg## configuration files doesn't reference them anymore in the ##plugins## property.
296 * The methods ##setUrlPatternMatcher## and ##getUrlPatternMatcher## have been removed from the core class ##com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki##. The underlying ##URLPatternMatcher## could not really be used as a singleton instance and was causing irregular failures in the basic authentication method. Thus these methods cannot be meaningfully relied upon and have therefore been removed.
297 * When setting the value using ##setValue## (or ##setList##) on a list field in an XWiki object, the list will now be copied. To be able to update the list, you must call ##getValue## (or ##getList##) and update the returned list. This is due to {{jira style="enum" url="http://jira.xwiki.org"}}XWIKI-8398{{/jira}}.
298
299 == API Breakages ==
300
301 The following APIs were modified since XWiki 4.2:
302
303 * [Young API] Introduce API to associate dependency status to the namespace:(((
304 {{code language="none"}}
305 org.xwiki.extension.InstalledExtension: Method 'public boolean isDependency(java.lang.String)' has been added to an interface
306 {{/code}}
307 )))
308 * [Young API] Introduce ExtensionRepositoryDescriptor as a replacement of ExtensionRepositoryId:(((
309 {{code language="none"}}
310 org.xwiki.extension.ExtensionManagerConfiguration: Method 'public java.util.Collection getExtensionRepositoryDescriptors()' has been added to an interface
311 org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepository: Method 'public org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepositoryDescriptor getDescriptor()' has been added to an interface
312 org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepositoryFactory: Method 'public org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepository createRepository(org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepositoryDescriptor)' has been added to an interface

314 org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepositorySource: Method 'public java.util.Collection getExtensionRepositoryDescriptors()' has been added to an interface
315 {{/code}}
316 )))
317 * IRCBot is still a young API. Added a new initialize() method to support installing the IRC Bot application in a subwiki:(((
318 {{code}}
319 org.xwiki.ircbot.IRCBot: Method 'public void initialize(java.lang.String)' has been added to an interface
320 {{/code}}
321 )))
322 * WikiComponent is still a young API. Removed the method to implement XWIKI-8233 ("Allow wiki components to implement parameterized types"):(((
323 {{code}}
324 org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponent: Method 'public org.xwiki.model.reference.DocumentReference getAuthorReference()' has been added to an interface
325 org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponent: Method 'public java.util.Map getHandledMethods()' has been removed
326 org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponent: Method 'public java.util.List getImplementedInterfaces()' has been removed
327 org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponent: Method 'public java.lang.Class getRole()' has been removed

329 org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponent: Method 'public org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponentScope getScope()' has been added to an interface
330 {{/code}}
331 )))
332 * WikiComponent is still a young API. Moved the class to the internal package:(((
333 {{code}}
334 org.xwiki.component.wiki.MethodOutputHandler: Class org.xwiki.component.wiki.MethodOutputHandler removed
335 org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponentInvocationHandler: Class org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponentInvocationHandler removed
336 {{/code}}
337 )))
338 * UIExtension is still a young API. Replaced the List of Block by a Block since Block can can now hold a list of Block:(((
339 {{code}}
340 org.xwiki.uiextension.UIExtension: Return type of method 'public java.util.List execute()' has been changed to org.xwiki.rendering.block.Block
341 org.xwiki.uiextension.UIExtension: Method 'public java.lang.String getId()' has been added to an interface
342 org.xwiki.uiextension.UIExtension: Method 'public java.lang.String getName()' has been removed
343 {{/code}}
344 )))
345 * Added a common method to all elements to set all the data from another element. Technically this does not really break anything because all elements are supposed to extends BaseElement:(((
346 {{code}}
347 com.xpn.xwiki.objects.ElementInterface: Method 'public boolean apply(com.xpn.xwiki.objects.ElementInterface, boolean)' has been added to an interface
