| 24 | |||
| 25 | == DocumentReference Locale now taken into account in XWiki#exists and XWiki#getDocument == | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | You can now use ##XWiki#exist## method to check for some translation existence too, before that the only way was to either load the XWikiDocument or write your own XWQL or HQL query. | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | ##XWiki#getDocument## has been modified accordingly too to be consistent so you don't need to go through ##XWikiDocument#getTranslatedDocument## anymore. | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | It also mean that you need to be careful of what Locale is in the DocumentReference with those APIs now. | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | == New Extension Manager APIs | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | === Extension sub script services | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | The ##extension## service now expose an extension point for extension related script service so that it's used as entry point for all of them. | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | By default the following are provided: | ||
| 40 | * $services.extension.core (for core extensions APIs) | ||
| 41 | * $services.extension.local (for local extensions APIs) | ||
| 42 | * $services.extension.installed (for installed extensions APIs) | ||
| 43 | * $services.extension.xar (for XAR extension APIS) | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | == XWiki Enterprise Archetype == | ||
| 46 | |||
