10
11 == Distribution Wizard improvements ==
12
13 When upgrading from an old version that didn't have the distribution wizard, the wizard doesn't know what user interface (XAR) was previously installed (imported). This information can help the Extension Manager merge automatically the wiki pages from your database with those from the new version of the user interface.
14
15 The distribution wizard will first ask you if you are performing an upgrade.

17 {{image reference="DW-previousUiUpgradeQuestion.png"/}}
18
19 Then you need to specify the id and version of the previously installed user interface.
20
21 {{image reference="DW-previousUiForm.png"/}}
22
23 Finally you need to repair the specified user interface extension. This will mark the extension as installed (update the extension index without actually importing the wiki pages from the XAR).
24
25 {{image reference="DW-previousUiExtension.png"/}}
26
27 Next you can install the new version of the user interface.
28
29 == Translatable AppWithinMinutes apps ==
30
31 The AppWithinMinutes wizard is now generating a document translation bundle for the application which allows you to translate class field pretty names, list values (for static list fields) and live table columns names. If you have an existing application that was created with AppWithinMinutes you just have to edit and save it to get the new translation bundle.
32
33 If your wiki is setup for multilingual support then on the application home page, in the application menu, you now have an entry to translate the application. The link takes you to the document translation bundle.
34
35 {{image reference="AWM-translateAppMenu.png"/}}
36
37 When editing an application you now have the option to update the translation bundle. Note that for the moment the translation bundle (its default language) is regenerated so you may lose translation keys you added yourself. In the future we want to update the translation bundle preserving the custom keys.
