12
13 == Improved Active Installs ==
14
15 The [[Active Installs feature>>extensions:Extension.Active Installs Server Application]] has been improved a lot and a new data format has been set up in order to be able to provide more information, namely:
16
17 * Graphing of Active Installs counter over time
18 * Display pie charts of XWiki versions, Java versions, Servlet Containers and Databases used for Active Installs
19
20 {{image reference="as-dashboard" width="650px"/}}
21
22 In addition it's now registered in the Applications Panel:

25
26 == Improved Panels ==
27
28 * It is now possible to change the width of the panel columns:
29
30 {{image reference="panelWizard.png" width="65%"/}}
31
32 * Inside a panel, you can know the current width with the ##$xwikiPanelWidth## variable.
33
34 == Miscellaneous ==
35
36 * Added [[ability to configure Pie Chart labels>>extensions:Extension.Chart Macro]] using the ##pie_label_format## property. For example using ##pie_label_format:{0} - {2}## would give:(((
37 {{image reference="pielabel.png"/}}
38 )))
39 * XWiki now support resolving a Maven extension with a parent from a different Maven repository
40 * More HTTP cache settings, configurable using ##xwiki.httpheaders.cache## in ##xwiki.cfg## or ##headers_nocache## in ##XWiki.XWikiPreferences##:
41 ** ##0##: **no Cache-Control header** sent, use the browser's defaults. RFC 2616 only specifies optional behavior in this case
42 ** ##1## (default): **no-cache**; caches must not serve this response in a subsequent response, but the page is stored for the bf-cache
43 ** ##2##: **no-store, no-cache and max-age=0**; the response will never be reused, not even for bf-cache; note that unsaved changes may be lost
44 ** ##3##: **private**; the response will be cached by personal caches, such as a browser cache
45 ** ##4##: **public**; the response may be cached by both personal and shared caches
46 * To ensure the compatibility with Internet Explorer 8, the Flamingo skin uses [[Respond.js>>https://github.com/scottjehl/Respond]] and [[HTML5Shiv>>https://github.com/aFarkas/html5shiv/]]. It enables CSS3 media queries and HTML5 tags.
47 * "Human" requests like ##view## or ##edit# are not waiting XWiki initialization forever and display a waiting page with initialization progress instead## {{image reference="init.png"/}}

72
73 * [[XCOMMONS-582>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-582]]: ##$escapetool.json## should be used instead of ##$escapetool.javascript## for escaping manually constructed JSON; ##$jsontool.serialize## should be used for generating JSON, though, since it is safer.

92 == General Notes ==
93
94 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.
