Test Report

You can check the manual test report to learn about what was tested and the results on various browsers.

Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes

General Notes

You may also want to import the default wiki XAR in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above.

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.

Issues specific to XWiki <version>

API Breakages

The following APIs were modified since 4.2:

[Young API] Introduce API to associate dependency status to the namespace.

org.xwiki.extension.InstalledExtension: Method 'public boolean isDependency(java.lang.String)' has been added to an interface

[Young API] Introduce ExtensionRepositoryDescriptor as a replacement of ExtensionRepositoryId

org.xwiki.extension.ExtensionManagerConfiguration: Method 'public java.util.Collection getExtensionRepositoryDescriptors()' has been added to an interface
org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepository: Method 'public org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepositoryDescriptor getDescriptor()' has been added to an interface
org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepositoryFactory: Method 'public org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepository createRepository(org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepositoryDescriptor)' has been added to an interface
org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepositoryManager: Method 'public org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepository addRepository(org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepositoryDescriptor)' has been added to an interface
org.xwiki.extension.repository.ExtensionRepositorySource: Method 'public java.util.Collection getExtensionRepositoryDescriptors()' has been added to an interface

This should be fixed: a new 'sendMessageFromTemplate' method was added before the 4.2 release and then removed only from master (4.3-SNAPSHOT). We need to decide what we do with this method.

com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.mailsender.MailSender: Method 'public int sendMessageFromTemplate(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.util.Map)' has been removed

The version field has been moved from Page to PageSummary which is the superclass of Page
```
org.xwiki.rest.model.jaxb.Page: Removed field version
```

Added methods for creating workspaces and retrieving workspace templates.

org.xwiki.workspace.WorkspaceManager: Method 'public com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.wikimanager.doc.XWikiServer createWorkspace(java.lang.String, com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.wikimanager.doc.XWikiServer, java.lang.String)' has been added to an interface
org.xwiki.workspace.WorkspaceManager: Method 'public java.util.List getWorkspaceTemplates()' has been added to an interface

The plugin has been moved to its own module. Not a breakage.

com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.feed.FeedPlugin: Class com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.feed.FeedPlugin removed
com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.feed.FeedPlugin$EntriesComparator: Class com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.feed.FeedPlugin$EntriesComparator removed

com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.feed.XWikiFeedFetcher$CredentialSupplier: Class com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.feed.XWikiFeedFetcher$CredentialSupplier removed

IRCBot is still a young API. Added a new initialize() method to support installing the IRC Bot application in a subwiki
```
org.xwiki.ircbot.IRCBot: Method 'public void initialize(java.lang.String)' has been added to an interface
```

WikiComponent is still a young API. Moved the class to the internal package

org.xwiki.component.wiki.MethodOutputHandler: Class org.xwiki.component.wiki.MethodOutputHandler removed
org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponentInvocationHandler: Class org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponentInvocationHandler removed

WikiComponent is still a young API. Replaced the getRole() method with getRoleType() to implement XWIKI-8233, "Allow wiki components to implement parameterized types"

org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponent: Method 'public java.lang.Class getRole()' has been removed
org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponent: Method 'public java.lang.reflect.Type getRoleType()' has been added to an interface

WikiComponent is still a young API. Removed some unnecessary methods

org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponent: Method 'public java.util.Map getHandledMethods()' has been removed
org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponent: Method 'public java.util.List getImplementedInterfaces()' has been removed

WikiComponent is still a young API. Added this method to implement XWIKI-8234, "Allow wiki components to be registered at different levels (user / wiki / global)"

org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponent: Method 'public org.xwiki.model.reference.DocumentReference getAuthorReference()' has been added to an interface
org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponent: Method 'public org.xwiki.component.wiki.WikiComponentScope getScope()' has been added to an interface

UIExtension is still a young API. Replaced the List of Block by a Block since Block can now hold a list of Block

org.xwiki.uiextension.UIExtension: Return type of method 'public java.util.List execute()' has been changed to org.xwiki.rendering.block.Block

UIExtension is still a young API. getName() has been renamed to getId()

org.xwiki.uiextension.UIExtension: Method 'public java.lang.String getId()' has been added to an interface
org.xwiki.uiextension.UIExtension: Method 'public java.lang.String getName()' has been removed

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
```
com.xpn.xwiki.objects.ElementInterface: Method 'public boolean apply(com.xpn.xwiki.objects.ElementInterface, boolean)' has been added to an interface
```

Elemenents must be added to the wrapping NotifyOnList to ensure that the property is marked 'dirty' when updated. To avoid that this mechanism is circumvented, the field is made final.
```
com.xpn.xwiki.objects.ListProperty: Field list is now final
```

Removed language field because the information is now stored as Locale instead of String and it should have never been protected anyway.
```
com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument: Removed field language
```

URLPatternMatcher instances cannot generally be reused (because the underlaying Perl5Matcher cannot be reused) on different strings and with different patterns and a new instance must be produced on demand. It is, thus, meaningless to set an instance. If there is any code relying on this method, it is broken already. Thus, we should remove this without going through deprecation. We might as well remove the getter.
```
com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki: Method 'public void setUrlPatternMatcher(org.securityfilter.filter.URLPatternMatcher)' has been removed
com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki: Method 'public org.securityfilter.filter.URLPatternMatcher getUrlPatternMatcher()' has been removed
```

Removed unused field

com.xpn.xwiki.tool.backup.ImportMojo: Field MPNAME_DESCRIPTION has been removed, but it was previously a constant
