51 = For Developers =
52
53 == Action API ==
54
55 This [[Action API module>>extensions:Extension.Action API]] is the entry point for all UIs and in charge of calling the correct backend code to display what the user has asked for (it's the Controller in MVC terminology).
56
57 Note that right now most Actions are still implemented the old way in the oldcore module without Components and using Struts. The goal is to progressively rewrite them using this new Action API.
58
59 == WebJars Integration ==
60
61 The [[WebJars integration>>extensions:Extension.WebJars Integration]] solves the issue of packaging JavaScript frameworks by bundling them as JARs. This allows XWiki Extensions to depend on JavaScript frameworks an be installable by the Extension Manager Application.
62
63 == Miscellaneous ==
64
65 * The XAR plugins's ##format## mojo now handles properly the ##defaultLanguage## element: if a document has translation we assume it means the document is not a technical document and thus we set the default language to be English. This allows the XWiki SOLR Search to return results when the English language is selected in language facet.
66 * The XAR plugin's ##verify## mojo now also handles the ##defaultLanguage## check accordingly.
67 * The XAR plugin's ##verify## mojo now checks for missing license headers (if the ##formatLicense## configuration property is set to ##true##).
68 * The XAR plugin's ##format## and ##verify## mojos now support including/excluding files.
69 * We changed a bit the behaviour of Solr search with respect to the current language. We stopped using the (dynamically computed) 'locales' filter by default. We now rely only on the 'locale' facet, which has the current language preselected. See [[XWIKI-9977>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9977]] for the full story.
70 * ##$services.wiki.getAll()## makes a better use of its internal cache, so the performances are better.
71
72 == Deprecated and Retired projects ==
73
74 * ##xwiki-platorm-wiki-manager## has been removed from the platform. It is still available on the [[contrib repository>>https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-platform-wiki-manager]] and via the extensions [[extensions:Extension.Wiki Manager Plugin]] and [[extensions:Extension.Wiki Manager Application]].
