| 30 | |||
| 31 | = For Developers = | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | == Wiki module improvements == | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | * Added an API to directly get the wiki identifiers: | ||
| 36 | ** From Velocity:((( | ||
| 37 | {{code language="velocity"}} | ||
| 38 | #set($wikiIds = $services.wki.allIds) | ||
| 39 | {{/code}} | ||
| 40 | ))) | ||
| 41 | ** From Java:((( | ||
| 42 | {{code language="java"}} | ||
| 43 | Collection<String> wikiIds = wikiDescriptorManager.getAllIds(); | ||
| 44 | {{/code}} | ||
| 45 | ))) | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | == The ##XWiki.widgets.ConfirmationBox## widget can display a //Cancel// button == | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | By passing the ##showCancelButton : true## option in the ##interactionParameters## argument to the constructor, a //Cancel// button will be displayed next to the //Yes// and //No// ones. The label of the button can be specified with the ##cancelButtonText## interaction option, and an optional callback to execute with the ##onCancel## behavior option. | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | == The ##XWiki.widgets.ModalPopup#createButton## method now accepts an ##extraClass## parameter == | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | The fifth parameter can be used to add additional classes, besides the standard ##button##, to the created buttons. | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | == WikiStream module renamed to Filter module == | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | The heart of WikiStream being far more generic than wikis, most of it have been moved to commons in the already existing [[Filter module>>extensions:Extension.Filter Module]]. | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | Most of WikiStream module moved to commons filter module (everything that wasn't really depending on any platform project) and it also been renamed to ##Filter## on platform side to follow commons naming. The structure of the API did not changed a bit except for the naming. In short every "WikiStream" in your code should be changed to ##Filter## or ##FilterStream##. None of the existing streams identifiers changed except for the generic XML streams which is is now ##filter+xml## (instead of wiki+xml). | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | == Deprecated and Retired projects == | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | <description of deprecated and retired projects> | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | == Upgrades == | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | The following dependencies have been upgraded: | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | * [[Bootstrap 3.2.0>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10579]] | ||
| 70 | * [[HTML5Shiv 3.7.2>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10615]] | ||
| 71 | * [[Groovy 2.3.4>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-619]] | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | * The new [[Mail Sender API>>extensions:Extension.Action API]] is now bundled by default in XWiki Enterprise. In addition it's now possible to access the Mail Sending API configuration from scripts by calling ##$services.mailsender.configuration##. | ||
| 76 | * The user of an Activity Stream event is now always stored as an absolute serialized reference. See [[XWIKI-9066>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9066]] for more details. | ||
| 77 | * A new user and group references related reference resolver have been provided:((( | ||
| 78 | {{code language="java"}} | ||
| 79 | @Inject | ||
| 80 | @Named("user/current") | ||
| 81 | private DocumentReferenceResolver<String> currentUserDocumentResolver; | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | @Inject | ||
| 84 | @Named("user/current") | ||
| 85 | private EntityReferenceResolver<String> currentUserEntityResolver; | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | @Inject | ||
| 88 | @Named("user") | ||
| 89 | private EntityReferenceResolver<String> defaultUserEntityResolver; | ||
| 90 | {{/code}} | ||
| 91 | ))) | ||
| 92 | * Each XWiki class property can now control how it's merged. Just need to overwrite ##com.xpn.xwiki.objects.classes.PropertyClass#mergeProperty## method. | ||
| 93 | * The target syntax is now part of the Rendering Context when the Rendering is used to render some Blocks (otherwise it's ##null##. For example when parsing content). | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | = Translations = | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | The following translations have been updated: | ||
| 98 | |||
| 99 | {{language codes="none, none"/}} | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | = Tested Browsers & Databases = | ||
| 102 | |||
| 103 | {{include reference="TestReports.ManualTestReportTemplateSummary"/}} | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | = Known issues = | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | * [[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]] | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | == General Notes == | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | 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. | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | == Issues specific to XWiki 6.2-milestone-1 == | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | * After the upgrade, old Activity Stream events might now be visible anymore. Only new events will start to be displayed. See [[XWIKI-9066>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9066]]. | ||
| 118 | * The new Mail Sender API was using a property named ##smtp_from## when the from address was not specified when sending an email. Even though this property is used by the old Mail Sender plugin, it doesn't exist by default in ##XWikiPreferences##. We're now using the ##admin_email## property which is the one you see in the Admin UI. | ||
| 119 | |||
| 120 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | The following APIs were modified since <project> <version - 1>: | ||

| 124 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
