New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 5.0.3)

Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 5.1.

Solr is the default search engine

We have redesigned the Solr search page to include faceted search and we improved the display of the advanced search options and the search results.

The Solr search module now automatically indexes all modifications made to the wiki. A synchronization background job is started at each XWiki startup to make sure the solr index and the database are in sync (only updates what needs to be updated). The manual indexing in the administration UI should also be a lot more stable since all the actual reading of wiki documents and their indexing is now done in a safe background thread.

Entities are now indexed with the list of supported locales (among the available locales). This means that if your current locale is "fr_FR" you will find all entities that you would have seen when the current locale is "fr_FR". For example if a document does not have any "fr_FR" explicit version you will still find the version you would have seen when going to that document (generally the default version of the document or the "fr" version of the document if any since the parent locale of "fr_FR" is "fr"). We call it locale inheritance.

See the documentation for the Solr Search Application for more details.

Menu Application

We have rewritten the Navigation Menu Wiki Macro and the Navigation Menu Config Application into a single application that can help you create navigation menus to be displayed either horizontally as a top bar after the page header or vertically in a side panel. See the documentation page of the new Menu Application for details.

Miscellaneous

• When an user wants to change his password, he now has to enter his current password for more security. Live validation of his new password validity (length) has also been added.
  
• The attachment upload input now remains visible after uplading one or more files:

  

• The "Send to" input from the Share page dialog displays a scope toggle when you are in a subwiki (or an workspace) that allows you to control whether the suggested users are local or global.

  

• We changed the dashboard to display the gadget actions when hovering the gadget.

  

• Moved the User Directory feature to an application on its own.
• Moved the XWiki Syntax Help feature to an application on its own.
• More documents marked as hidden by default: Blog.News, Blog.Other, Blog.Personal, Main.Activity, Main.MessageSenderMacro, Main.Tags, Sandbox.WebPreferences, XWiki.WebHome, XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup, XWiki.XWikiAllGroup, XWiki.SearchConfig
• Added support for new Google Analytics "Universal" tracking method.
