New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 5.0 Milestone 1)

Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 5.0.

Automatic Paste Cleaning in WYSIWYG Editor

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.

You can disable the automatic cleaning from the WYSIWYG Editor administration section if you wish:

For Developers

Translate log

It's possible to provide a translation key with any log to let log displayer use some localization framework to find proper translation for it.

See Logging Module for more details.

JQuery in XWiki using AMD/Require.js

Now with require.js you can pull in jQuery and use it when you need it without incurring the performance penalty when you don't need it.
To use jquery, use the script below:

{{html}}
<script>
require(['jquery'], function($) {
    $('#document-title>h1').text('JQuery in action');
});
</script>
{{/html}}

You can learn more about the power of AMD javascript modules by reading require.js documentation.

General Notes

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

Warning

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 5.0 Milestone 2

<issues specific to the project>

- The translations page for each workspace (xwiki:WorkspaceManager.TemplateTranslations) has been moved to the template (and implicitly locally, on each workspace) in XWiki.WorkspaceTranslations. Existing workspaces will still use any existing xwiki:WorkspaceManager.TemplateTranslations document (registered as translation bundle) that you may still have on the main wiki. New workspaces will use their local XWiki.WorkspaceTranslations document.

API Breakages

The following APIs were modified since XWiki 4.5.2:
