 |
7.1 | 13 | == SOLR indexing improvements == |
| |
1.1 | 14 | |
| |
8.3 | 15 | The SOLR search module now automatically indexes all modifications 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 documents and their indexing is now done in a safe background thread. |
| |
1.1 | 16 | |
| |
8.3 | 17 | What is still missing is some synchronization at startup to make sure that the SOLR index automatically has the whole wiki in its index. This should be taken care of in XWiki 5.1 RC1. |
| |
7.1 | 18 | |
| |
1.1 | 19 | == Miscellaneous == |
| 20 | |||
| |
2.1 | 21 | * Share Page feature can now send email in German. |
| |
6.1 | 22 | * Added support for new Google Analytics "Universal" tracking method |
| |

| 25 | |||
| 26 | = For Developers = | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | == Upgrades == | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | The following dependencies have been upgraded: | ||
| 31 | |||
| |
4.1 | 32 | * jQuery 1.10.1 |
| 33 | * Require.js 2.1.6 | ||
| |
1.1 | 34 | |
| 35 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 36 | |||
| |
3.1 | 37 | * A new Velocity macro is available to display the title of a [[sheet>>doc:extensions:Extension.Sheet Module]]. 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.:((( |
| 38 | {{code language="none"}}#if ($doc.fullName == 'AppWithinMinutes.LiveTableViewSheet')LiveTable View Sheet#{else}#evaluate($doc.title)#end{{/code}} | ||
| 39 | This can now be written as: | ||
| 40 | {{code language="none"}}#sheetTitle('LiveTable View Sheet' $doc.fullName.equals('AppWithinMinutes.LiveTableViewSheet')){{/code}} | ||
| 41 | or, if the sheet has an object of type ##XWiki.SheetDescriptorClass##: | ||
| 42 | {{code language="none"}}#sheetTitle('LiveTable View Sheet'){{/code}} | ||
| 43 | ))) | ||
| |
5.1 | 44 | * A new 'jQueryNoConflict' module is available. All it does is calling ##jQuery.noConflict(false)## to prevent conflicts with Prototype.js (with respect to ##$## global variable):((( |
| 45 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 46 | require(['jQueryNoConflict'], function($) { | ||
| 47 | // Your code here. | ||
| 48 | }) | ||
| 49 | {{/code}} | ||
| 50 | ))) | ||
| |
9.1 | 51 | * Add render method in Localization module taking syntax without parameters |
| |

| 72 | |||
| 73 | {{warning}} | ||
| 74 | 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. | ||
