New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 5.1 Milestone 1)
Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 5.1.
SOLR indexing improvements
SOLR search module now automatically index any modification made to the wiki. The manual indexing in the administration UI should also be a lot more stable since all the actual reading of wiki document and indexing is done in safe background thread.
What is still missing is a synchronization at startup to make sure the SOLR index automatically have the whole wiki in its index, should be taken care in 5.1 RC1.

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') - A new 'jQueryNoConflict' module is available. All it does is calling jQuery.noConflict(false) to prevent conflicts with Prototype.js (with respect to $ global variable):require(['jQueryNoConflict'], function($) {
// Your code here.
})
