Export big wikis as XAR

It's possible to enable the use of new WikiStream framework in standard export action (use in the standard export UI for example). Among other things it allows exporting a wiki of pretty much any size.

WikiStream is too young for it to be enabled by default and will require heavy testing. In the meantime you can try it by uncommenting # xwiki.action.export.xar.usewikistream=1 at the end of xwiki.cfg file.

Markdown Syntax 1.1

We've added version 1.1 of the Rendering Syntax for Markdown, adding support for:

• Macros
• Superscript and subscript
• (X)HTML improvements

Miscellaneous

• Improved Active Installs Server side API to be able to pass any query to count installs.
• Active Installs Client now also send the Distribution id in addition to the Distribution version to identify the "product" sending the ping
• The checkboxes for the global rights settings are now displayed on the left of their labels.

  

• The live search (search suggest) now displays a message when there are no results.
