| 8 | |||
| 9 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 6.1 Milestone 1) = | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | [[Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 6.1>>http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=12290]]. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | == Experimental Flamingo Skin == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | * Flamingo skin CSS is now computed at the runtime, using the [[LESS Module>>extensions:Extension.LESS Module]]. | ||
| 16 | * Thanks to this, we have introduced a compatibility between this skin and the old color themes: | ||
| 17 | [[[[image:flamingo-default.png||width="32%"]]>>attach:flamingo-default.png]] [[[[image:flamingo-dusk.png||width="32%"]]>>attach:flamingo-dusk.png]] [[[[image:flamingo-mint.png||width="32%"]]>>attach:flamingo-mint.png]] [[[[image:flamingo-ruby.png||width="32%"]]>>attach:flamingo-ruby.png]] [[[[image:flamingo-nocolortheme.png||width="32%"]]>>attach:flamingo-nocolortheme.png]] | ||
| 18 | * A lot of fixes and polishing have been made too. | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | == Applications Panel == | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | The applications panel has been modified to adapt itself to the panel column width. The design is different when the size is small, to look closer to a "dock" bar: | ||
| 23 | [[[[image:appbar.png||width="32%"]]>>attach:appbar.png]] (on this screenshot you can see the small version on the left, and the normal version on the right). | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | <insert misc user stuff and important bug fix descriptions here in a list, when they are too small to warrant a section by themselves - Change the version in the URL below!> | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | * [[extensions:Extension.SpaceIndex Macro]] has now a new parameter to sort the document by creation date, modification date, or by name. | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | 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+%226.1-milestone-2%22&tempMax=1000]] fixed in this release. | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | = For Developers = | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | == LESS module == | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | * The [[LESS Module>>extensions:Extension.LESS Module]] is now bundled with XWiki Enterprise. | ||
| 38 | * Some progress have been made on the DefaultLESSSkinFileCache. The cache is now cleared when a skin or a color theme is changed, but only on the concerned wiki. | ||
| 39 | * The LESS Compiler now compress the generated CSS. | ||
| 40 | * A new component has been added to compute a Color Theme compatible with [[extensions:Extension.Color Theme Application]] from a LESS file. | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | == Job module improvements == | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | A new ##org.xwiki.job.JobExecutor## component has been introduce to replace ##org.xwiki.job.JobManager## (which is now deprecated). This component adds support for parallel execution of jobs and also support grouping jobs that need to be executed in the same thread. | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | See [[extensions:Extension.Job Module]] for more details. | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | == Deprecated and Retired projects == | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | <description of deprecated and retired projects> | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | == Upgrades == | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | The following dependencies have been upgraded: | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | * [[Groovy 2.3.2>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-598]] | ||
| 57 | * [[Official LESS Compiler for Java 1.7.0.1.1>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10437]] | ||
| 58 | * [[Apache Lucene and Solr 4.8.1>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10357]] | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | * xwiki.cfg file properties are now accessible through ##org.xwiki.configuration.ConfigurationSource## component with role hint ##xwikicfg## | ||
| 63 | * Complete refactoring of the [[Resource module>>extensions:Extension.Resource API]]. Note that the Action module has been removed and folded into the new Resource module. | ||
| 64 | * The ##getInstance## methods in the [[Component Script Service>>extensions:Extension.Component Module||anchor="HAccessfromScripts"]] are now public and return ##null## if the Component cannot be looked up. A ##getLastError()## method was also added to get the last exception. | ||
| 65 | * New converter for ##java.lang.refect.Type## which allows converting from String to Type and opposite in Velocity and wiki macros parameters for example. | ||
| 66 | * The wiki manager API always returns a descriptor for the main wiki, and if there is no descriptor document it returns a "virtual" one that can be saved. Basically it now means that if a wiki exists there is always a corresponding descriptor, even for the main wiki. | ||
| 67 | * The "skin" parameter in the URL is now taken into account when generating the links to the skin CSS (see: [[XWIKI-10426>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10426]]). | ||
| 68 | * Filesystem Attachment Storage now allows you to disable cleaning of empty directories on startup since on a large installation this may take considerable time. (see: [[XWIKI-10431>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10431]]) | ||

Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema.
