18
19 == New structure for apps created with App Within Minutes ==
20
21 When you create a new application using AWM, your application will be structured into 2 spaces (one for data and the other for code). For more details, see [[AWM's documentation>>extensions:Extension.App Within Minutes Application||anchor="HApplicationStructure"]].

24
25 == Miscellaneous ==
26
27 * When using the standalone package, the logs can also be found in files under ##data/logs/##.
28 * The jetty configuration is now split in several files, making it easier to configure the needed parts.
29 * There's a sample configuration file for enabling HTTPS for the standalone Jetty server.
30 * The port on which Jetty listens for request can be configured using the ##JETTY_PORT## environment variables; ##JETTY_STOP_PORT## can be used to configure the port where stop commands are expected.
31 * Jetty's messages are now more informative: internal information isn't displayed, while notifications for the users are printed both at startup and shutdown.

33 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+%22<6.2-milestone-1%22&tempMax=1000]] fixed in this release.
34
35 = For Developers =
36
37 == Wiki module improvements ==
38
39 * Added an API to directly get the wiki identifiers:
40 ** From Velocity:(((
41 {{code language="velocity"}}
42 #set($wikiIds = $services.wki.allIds)
43 {{/code}}
44 )))
45 ** From Java:(((
46 {{code language="java"}}
47 Collection<String> wikiIds = wikiDescriptorManager.getAllIds();
48 {{/code}}
49 )))
50
51 == The ##XWiki.widgets.ConfirmationBox## widget can display a //Cancel// button ==
52
53 By passing the ##showCancelButton : true## option in the ##interactionParameters## argument to the constructor, a //Cancel// button will be displayed next to the //Yes// and //No// ones. The label of the button can be specified with the ##cancelButtonText## interaction option, and an optional callback to execute with the ##onCancel## behavior option.
54
55 == The ##XWiki.widgets.ModalPopup#createButton## method now accepts an ##extraClass## parameter ==
56
57 The fifth parameter can be used to add additional classes, besides the standard ##button##, to the created buttons.
58
59 == WikiStream module renamed to Filter module ==
60
61 The heart of WikiStream being far more generic than wikis, most of it have been moved to commons in the already existing [[Filter module>>extensions:Extension.Filter Module]].
62
63 Most of WikiStream module moved to commons filter module (everything that wasn't really depending on any platform project) and it also been renamed to ##Filter## on platform side to follow commons naming. The structure of the API did not changed a bit except for the naming. In short every "WikiStream" in your code should be changed to ##Filter## or ##FilterStream##. None of the existing streams identifiers changed except for the generic XML streams which is is now ##filter+xml## (instead of wiki+xml).
64
65 == Mail Sender API ==
66
67 * The new [[Mail Sender API>>extensions:Extension.Action API]] is now bundled by default in XWiki Enterprise.
68 * It's now possible to access the Mail Sending API configuration from scripts by calling ##$services.mailsender.configuration##.
69 * The ##send()## API now sends messages synchronously and a new ##sendAsynchronously()## API has been added
70
71 == Deprecated and Retired projects ==
72
73 <description of deprecated and retired projects>
74
75 == Upgrades ==
76
77 The following dependencies have been upgraded:
78
79 * [[Bootstrap 3.2.0>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10579]]
80 * [[HTML5Shiv 3.7.2>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10615]]
81 * [[Groovy 2.3.4>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-619]]
82
83 == Miscellaneous ==
84
85 * 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.
86 * A new user and group references related reference resolver have been provided:(((
87 {{code language="java"}}
88 @Inject
89 @Named("user/current")
90 private DocumentReferenceResolver<String> currentUserDocumentResolver;
91
92 @Inject
93 @Named("user/current")
94 private EntityReferenceResolver<String> currentUserEntityResolver;
95
96 @Inject
97 @Named("user")
98 private EntityReferenceResolver<String> defaultUserEntityResolver;
99 {{/code}}
100 )))
101 * Each XWiki class property can now control how it's merged. Just need to overwrite ##com.xpn.xwiki.objects.classes.PropertyClass#mergeProperty## method.
102 * 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).
103
104 = Translations =
105
106 The following translations have been updated:
107
108 {{language codes="none, none"/}}
109
110 = Tested Browsers & Databases =
111
112 {{include reference="TestReports.ManualTestReportTemplateSummary"/}}
113
114 = Known issues =
115
116 * [[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]]
117
118 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
119
120 == General Notes ==
121
122 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.
123
124 == Issues specific to XWiki 6.2-milestone-1 ==
125
126 * 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]].
127 * 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.
128
129 == API Breakages ==
