Upgrades

The following dependencies have been upgraded:

  • jQuery 1.10.1
  • Require.js 2.1.6

Miscellaneous

  • A new Velocity macro is available to display the title of a sheet. Most of the times when you have a sheet you want to display some text when the user visits the sheet page and something different when the user visits a page where the sheet is applied. Up until now the solution was to write an if in the sheet title to check if the current document is the sheet. E.g.:

    #if ($doc.fullName == 'AppWithinMinutes.LiveTableViewSheet')LiveTable View Sheet#{else}#evaluate($doc.title)#end
    This can now be written as:
    #sheetTitle('LiveTable View Sheet' $doc.fullName.equals('AppWithinMinutes.LiveTableViewSheet'))
    or, if the sheet has an object of type XWiki.SheetDescriptorClass:
    #sheetTitle('LiveTable View Sheet')

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.
