37 == Velocity macros to display users and groups ==
38
39 We extracted the code that displays in view mode a property of type 'List of Users' and 'List of Groups' from the corresponding custom displayers (found in ##displayer_users.vm## and ##displayer_groups.vm##) into two Velocity macros that can be used to display arbitrary users and groups, even when you don't have an object. Here's how you can use them:
40
41 {{code language="none"}}
42 {{velocity}}
43 {{html wiki="true"}}
44 = Users =
45 == Just one ==
46 #displayUser('XWiki.Admin')
47
48 == List of users ==
49 #displayUser(['Admin', 'XWiki.mflorea'])
50
51 == A reference of a user ==
52 #displayUser($xcontext.userReference)
53
54 == A list of references of users ==
55 #displayUser([$xcontext.userReference, $otherUserReference])
56
57 = Groups =
58 == Just one ==
59 #displayGroup('XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup')
60
61 == List of groups ==
62 #displayGroup(['XWikiAdminGroup','XWiki.HRGroup'])
63
64 == A reference of a group ==
65 #set($adminGroupRef = $services.model.resolveDocument('XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup'))
66 #set($allGroupRef = $services.model.resolveDocument('XWiki.XWikiAllGroup'))
67 #displayGroup($adminGroupRef)
68
69 == A list of references of groups ==
70 #displayGroup([$adminGroupRef, $allGroupRef])

75
76 == New Velocity Tools =
77
78 * New URL Tool ##$urltool##: A [[new tool>>extensions:Extension.Velocity Module||anchor="HVelocityTools"]] has been added with one method to parse query string from the URL ##$urltool.parseQuery(String)##. The value returned by this is method is a ##Map<String, List<String>>## which maps parameter names to (possibly multiple) values, and can be passed e.g. directly into ##$escapetool.url(Map<String, ?>)## to convert it back to a string. This is useful e.g. in cases where one want to pass a complete query string around between requests, as it happend for the PDF export; the ##$urltool## allows for a sane deserialization of the value passed around.
79 * New Exception Tool ##$exceptiontool##: A [[new tool>>extensions:Extension.Velocity Module||anchor="HVelocityTools"]] to manipulate Java Exceptions (get root cause, convert into String, etc).

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.
