| 5 | This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Enterprise>>http://enterprise.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | First and hopefully last release candidate before 6.0 final. This release contain mostly improvements on Distribution Wyzard and new experimental Flamingo skin. | ||

| 9 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 6.0 Milestone 2) = | ||

| 13 | == Distribution Wizard improvements == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | The Extensions step now lets global administrators choose between: | ||
| 16 | |||
| 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 | |||
| 22 | {{image reference="checkForUpdates-done.png"/}} | ||
| 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 | |||
| 28 | == Experimental Flamingo Skin == | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | * The "page export" action is now handled via a modal popup:((( | ||
| 31 | image:flamingo-export.png | ||
| 32 | ))) | ||
| 33 | * Create/rename/delete actions are now handled by Flamingo:((( | ||
| 34 | image:flamingo-create-page.png | ||
| 35 | ))) | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 38 | |||
| 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. | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | See the [[full list of JIRA issues>>http://jira.xwiki.org/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-printable/temp/SearchRequest.html?jqlQuery=project+in+%28XCOMMONS%2C+XRENDERING%2C+XWIKI%2C+XE%29+and+status+%3D+Closed+and+resolution+%3D+Fixed+and+fixVersion+%3D+%226.0-rc-1%22&tempMax=1000]] fixed in this release. | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | = For Developers = | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | == Upgrades == | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | The following dependencies have been upgraded: | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | * [[Logback 1.1.2>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-563]] | ||
| 50 | * [[Lucene and Solr 4.7.1>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10215]] | ||
| 51 | * [[Jython 2.7-b1>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10221]] | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | * 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. | ||
| 56 | * The Wiki module does not handle the application descriptors of the deprecated [[Application Manager>>extensions:Extension.Application Manager Application]] anymore. | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | = Translations = | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | The following translations have been updated: | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | {{language codes="none, none"/}} | ||
| 63 | |||
| 64 | = Tested Browsers & Databases = | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | {{include reference="TestReports.ManualTestReportXWiki60RC1Summary"/}} | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | = Known issues = | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | * [[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]] | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | == General Notes == | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | 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. | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | == Solr Search Index == | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | {{error}} | ||
| 81 | 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. | ||
| 82 | {{/error}} | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | The following APIs were modified since XWiki 5.4.3: | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 89 | <clirr output here> | ||
| 90 | {{/code}} |
