| 30 | |||
| 31 | = For Developers = | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | == New Filter Module == | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | Commons get a new base module for all streaming systems based on filters like Rendering and the coming Wiki Stream. See [[Filter Module documentation>>extensions:Extension.Filter Module]]. | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | == JSON parsing in Velocity == | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | ##$jsontool.parse('["json string"]')## can now be used to parse a serialized JSON into [[json-lib>>http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/]] [[arrays>>http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/apidocs/jdk15/net/sf/json/JSONArray.html]] or [[objects>>http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/apidocs/jdk15/net/sf/json/JSONObject.html]]. | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | Only valid JSON strings can be parsed. JSONP is not supported. If the argument is not valid JSON, then ##null## is returned, parsing exceptions are cought. | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | == Query String escaping == | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | The following method ##$escapetool.url(Map<String, ?>)## has been added to the escapetool module. It allows to create a properly url-escaped query string from a map of parameters. | ||
| 46 | For example ##$escapetool.url({'alice': ['A&A', 'M&M'], 'bob': [13, 27]})## would return ##alice=A%26A&alice=M%26M&bob=13&bob=27##. See [[XCOMMONS-435>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-435]] | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | == New Eclipse cs extension == | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | [[XCOMMONS-353>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/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. | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | ##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. | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | == Deprecated and Retired projects == | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | * Google plugin (##com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.google.GooglePlugin##) has been retired, you can find it on https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/retired/tree/master/xwiki-platform-google-plugin | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | == Upgrades == | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | The following dependencies have been upgraded: | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | * Infinispan 5.3 | ||
| 63 | * Tika 1.4 | ||
| 64 | * JGroups 3.3.4 | ||
| 65 | * Maven 3.1.0 | ||
| 66 | * Aether 0.9.0.M2 (moved from ##org.sonatype.aether## to ##org.eclipse.aether##) | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | * The way to declare the type supporter by a ##org.xwiki.properties.converter.Converter## component changed from role hint to generic type. See [[Properties Module documentation>>extensions:Extension.Properties Module||anchor="HConvertercomponent28Recommended29"]] for more details. The old way is still supported for retro-compatibility. | ||

| 93 | 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. | ||
