2.1 | 11 | [[Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 5.0>>http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=11493]]. |

| |
5.1 | 13 | {{display reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki50M1" section="HExtensionManagerimprovements"/}} |
| |
1.1 | 14 | |
| |
3.1 | 15 | === Extension Updater === |
| |
1.1 | 16 | |
| |
3.1 | 17 | We added a new section to the [[Extension Manager>>extensions:Extension.Extension Manager Application]] administration UI that lists the available extension updates. |

| |
5.1 | 21 | {{display reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki50M1" section="HDistributionWizardimprovements"/}} |
| |
3.1 | 22 | |
| 23 | === New wiki mode step === | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | By default you can now get the same distribution wizard you used to have for main wiki only on subwikis too. When enabled it means that each wiki administrator is able to take care of his own wiki upgrade and farm administrator will only deal with main wiki. | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | There are two modes: | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | * ALL IN ONE: the former Distribution Wizard behavior where everything is done at main wiki level | ||
| 30 | * WIKI: on main wiki only the main wiki is upgraded and each wiki gets its own Distribution Wizard and its own status | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | A new step to setup the upgrade mode has been added. | ||
| 33 | |||

| 35 | |||
| 36 | == WYSIWYG Editor improvements == | ||
| 37 | |||
| |
4.1 | 38 | === Automatic Paste Cleaning === |
| |
3.1 | 39 | |
| 40 | Starting with this version, whenever you paste some content into the rich text area of the WYSIWYG Editor that content is (by default) automatically cleaned before being inserted into the rest of the content. | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | You can disable the automatic cleaning from the WYSIWYG Editor administration section if you wish: | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki50M2@WYSIWYGEditor-AdminSection-cleanPasteAutomatically.png"/}} | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | === Office Import using the Office Macro === | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | We added an option to the [[WYSIWYG Editor>>platform:Features.WysiwygEditor]]'s Import Office Document dialog to allow you to import an office file using the [[Office Macro>>extensions:Extension.Office Macro]]. This is useful if you don't plan to edit the content of the office file after the import or if you don't want to mix the content of the office file with the content of the wiki page. | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | {{image reference="ReleaseNotesXWiki50M1@xwe-importOfficeDocumentDialog.png"/}} | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | The generated wiki syntax looks like this: | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 55 | {{office attachment="presentation.odp"/}} | ||
| 56 | {{/code}} | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | Of course, you need to have the Office server connected in order to use this feature. | ||
| 59 | |||

| |
3.1 | 67 | |
| |
1.1 | 68 | == Miscellaneous == |
| 69 | |||
| |
5.1 | 70 | * Add support for Numbered Lists and Verbatim for the LaTex Renderer |
| 71 | * Ability to [[more easily create multiple FAQ spaces>>extensions:Extension.FAQ Application||anchor="HCreatemultipleFAQs"]]. | ||
| 72 | * The [[FAQ Application>>extensions:Extension.FAQ Application]] can now be translated into multiple languages + added translation for French. | ||
| 73 | * Automatically register translations for the Annotations application | ||
| 74 | * ##autowww## is not enabled by default {{jira url="http://jira.xwiki.org" style="enum"}}XWIKI-8877{{/jira}} and mandatory (can not be disabled), since with virtual mode enabled by default if could prove problematic to access your main wiki without a proper wiki descriptor set up. The main reason why you could have needed to disable it was if you actually had subwiki named ##www## and you wanted to access it instead of the main wiki. Now the ##autowww## feature checks for this case and serves the right content. | ||
| 75 | * Increased [[Permgen requirements from recommended 128MB to 196MB>>platform:AdminGuide.Installation]] | ||
| 76 | * The Jetty distribution now uses Jetty 8.1.9.v20130131 | ||

| 120 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 121 | |||
| |
6.1 | 122 | * [[More API added to the Model Script Service>>extensions:Extension.Model Module]] |
| 123 | * You can now specify a target user or an email address in the share page URL like this: | ||
| 124 | {{code language="none"}}/xwiki/bin/view/Space/Page?viewer=share&target=foo@bar.org&target=XWiki.mflorea{{/code}} | ||
| 125 | * Added methods to query existing wikis: api.XWiki.getWikiNames() {{jira url="http://jira.xwiki.org" style="enum"}}XWIKI-8841{{/jira}} and api.XWiki.hasSubWikis() {{jira url="http://jira.xwiki.org" style="enum"}}XWIKI-8875{{/jira}} | ||
| 126 | * XWiki is now always in virtual mode so development needs to consider the fact that the main wiki may not be the only wiki available. | ||
| 127 | * With the transition to virtual mode by default, the XWiki.XWikiServerClass is now a mandatory class to be used when creating a wiki descriptor. Its existence will be, like all mandatory classes, checked when XWiki starts, but only for the main wiki. It was formerly initialized by and part of the wiki-manager module but it's now part of the core. Also, the XWiki.XWikiServerClassSheet has been moved to the wiki-manager-ui module. | ||
