3.1 | 13 | == Distribution Wizard improvements == |
| |
1.1 | 14 | |
| |
3.1 | 15 | The Extensions step now lets global administrators choose between: |
| |
1.1 | 16 | |
| |
3.1 | 17 | * computing the upgrade plan for the entire farm |
| 18 | * computing the upgrade plan only for the main wiki + global namespace | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | The first option is suited when the farm is managed by a single entity while the second option is suited when each wiki in the farm is managed by a different entity. Obviously computing the upgrade plan for the entire farm takes longer (with the number of wikis) than computing the upgrade plan only for the main wiki. | ||
| 21 | |||
 |
4.1 | 22 | {{image reference="checkForUpdates-done.png"/}} |
| |
3.1 | 23 | |
| 24 | Extensions are now sorted by their name (but still grouped by wiki) and paginated on the Extensions step. | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | We also paginated the Wikis step, which could have been pretty long if you had many wikis. See the [[Distribution Wizard documentation>>platform:Features.DistributionWizard]] for more information. | ||
| 27 | |||
 |
9.1 | 28 | == Experimental Flamingo Skin == |
| 29 | |||
| 30 | * The "page export" action is now handled via a modal popup:((( | ||

| 32 | ))) | ||
| |
12.1 | 33 | * Create/rename/delete actions are now handled by Flamingo:((( |

10.1 | 35 | ))) |
| |
9.1 | 36 | |
| |
1.1 | 37 | == Miscellaneous == |
| 38 | |||
| |
17.1 | 39 | * We improved the way attachment file names are indexed by Solr so you should be able to find attachments more easily from now on. |

1.1 | 52 | |
| 53 | == Upgrades == | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | The following dependencies have been upgraded: | ||
| 56 | |||
| |
4.1 | 57 | * [[Logback 1.1.2>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-563]] |
| |
5.1 | 58 | * [[Lucene and Solr 4.7.1>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10215]] |
| |
6.1 | 59 | * [[Jython 2.7-b1>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10221]] |
| |
1.1 | 60 | |
| 61 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 62 | |||
| |
15.1 | 63 | * We added a new field "##filename_exact##" to the [[Solr Schema>>design:Design.SolrSchema]] to store the attachment file names as verbatim (without being analysed) for exact and prefix matching. The existing ##filename## field is analysed and thus cannot be used for exact/prefix matching. |
| |
1.1 | 64 | |
| 65 | = Translations = | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | The following translations have been updated: | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | {{language codes="none, none"/}} | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | = Tested Browsers & Databases = | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | {{include reference="TestReports.ManualTestReportTemplateSummary"/}} | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | = Known issues = | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | * [[Bugs we know about>>http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=category+%3D+%22Top+Level+Projects%22+AND+issuetype+%3D+Bug+AND+resolution+%3D+Unresolved+ORDER+BY+updated+DESC]] | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | == General Notes == | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | When upgrading make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg##, ##xwiki.properties## and ##web.xml## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or 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. | ||
| 84 | |||
| |
14.1 | 85 | == Solr Search Index == |
| |
1.1 | 86 | |
| |
14.1 | 87 | {{error}} |
| 88 | We made changes to the [[Solr schema>>http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/SolrSchema]] in this release (see [[XWIKI-10225>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10225]]) and unfortunately we don't have support for automatic Solr search index migration at this point. If you upgrade from XWiki 4.3 Milestone 2 or greater then **you have to delete the 'solr' folder** from the configured permanent directory of your XWiki instance. The Solr index will be recreated automatically and the entire wiki/farm will be re-indexed after a server restart. | ||
| 89 | {{/error}} | ||
| |
1.1 | 90 | |
| 91 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | The following APIs were modified since XWiki 5.4.3: | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
