| 30 | |||
| 31 | = For Developers = | ||
| 32 | |||
| |
2.1 | 33 | == Wiki module improvements == |
| |
1.1 | 34 | |
 |
21.3 | 35 | * Added an API to directly get the wiki identifiers: |
| 36 | ** From Velocity:((( | ||
| |
2.1 | 37 | {{code language="velocity"}} |
| |
3.1 | 38 | #set($wikiIds = $services.wki.allIds) |
| |
2.1 | 39 | {{/code}} |
| |
21.3 | 40 | ))) |
| 41 | ** From Java:((( | ||
| |
2.1 | 42 | {{code language="java"}} |
| 43 | Collection<String> wikiIds = wikiDescriptorManager.getAllIds(); | ||
| 44 | {{/code}} | ||
| 45 | ))) | ||
| 46 | |||
 |
22.1 | 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 | |||
| |
23.1 | 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 | |||
| |
24.2 | 61 | == Mail Sender API == |
| |
24.1 | 62 | |
| 63 | * The new [[Mail Sender API>>extensions:Extension.Action API]] is now bundled by default in XWiki Enterprise. | ||
| 64 | * It's now possible to access the Mail Sending API configuration from scripts by calling ##$services.mailsender.configuration##. | ||
| 65 | * The ##send()## API now sends messages synchronously and a new ##sendAsynchronously()## API has been added | ||
| 66 | |||

| 113 | |||
| 114 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | == General Notes == | ||
| 117 | |||
| 118 | 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. | ||
| 119 | |||
| |
12.1 | 120 | == Issues specific to XWiki 6.2-milestone-1 == |
| |
1.1 | 121 | |
| |
1.2 | 122 | * 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]]. |
| |
12.1 | 123 | * 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. |
