12
13 == Solr Search Improvements ==
14
15 === Search Facets ===
16
17 The display of some of the search facets has been improved. The Author and Creator facets now show the user full name, alias and avatar.

20
21 The wiki facet displays the wiki pretty name instead of the wiki identifier.
22
23 {{image reference="search-wikiFacet.png"/}}
24
25 The language facet displays the full language name and country (when applicable) in the current locale. The number of displayed facet values is limited to 5 by default but you can see the rest of the values by clicking on the link following the facet values (each click will show 5 more values).

31 == WikiStream improvements ==
32
33 === Script service improvements ===
34
35 * added a properties converter for ##WikiStreamType## to make easier to manipulate it from Velocity
36 * made APIs asynchronous
37
38 === Confluence XML input module for WikiStream ===
39
40 A new WikiStream input module has been added to parse [[Confluence backup packages>>https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Exporting+Confluence+Pages+and+Spaces+to+XML]].
41
42 === New XHTML based Confluence syntax ===
43
44 Since 4.0 Confluence moved to a XHTML based syntax for pages content. So in order to import recent version of Confluences a parser for this syntax had to be written first.
45
46 == Miscellaneous ==
47
48 * The URL Legacy JAR is now correctly bundled in the XE WAR. This is important since otherwise you'd need to set the URL configuration properties in your ##xwiki.properties## file in addition to setting them in ##xwiki.cfg##. For example ##url.standard.multiwiki.isPathBased## in ##xwiki.properties## **and** ##xwiki.virtual.usepath## in ##xwiki.cfg##).

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.
