For Developers

New Filter Module

Commons get a new base module for all streaming systems based on filters like Rendering and the coming Wiki Stream. See Filter Module documentation.

JSON parsing in Velocity

$jsontool.parse('["json string"]') can now be used to parse a serialized JSON into json-lib arrays or objects.

Only valid JSON strings can be parsed. JSONP is not supported. If the argument is not valid JSON, then null is returned, parsing exceptions are cought.

New Eclipse cs extension

XCOMMONS-353 made our checkstyle.xml file unusable as it is in Eclipse cs because of the custom rule that could not be found in the Eclipse classpath.

xwiki-commons-tool-verification-resources module is now also an Eclipse cs extension which mean you can just drop its jar in Eclipse plugins/ folder and you will get the XWiki checkstyle configuration listed in the standard configurations.
