| 11 | [[Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for <version>>>http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=<fill id here>]]. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | == Menu Application == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | Taking advantage of the ability to have LESS inside our [[StyleSheetExtensions>>extensions:Extension.Skin Extension Plugin||anchor="HUseLESS"]], we improved the [[Menu Application>>extensions:Extension.Menu Application]], on Flamingo based skins, making it responsive and also adapting its styling according to the active [[Flamingo Theme>>extensions:Extension.Flamingo Theme Application]]. | ||
| 16 | Colibri based skins preserve the initial styling. | ||

| 26 | |||
| 27 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | * The new [[Mail Sender API>>extensions:Extension.Mail Sender API]] now checks for permission before sending emails, when using it from scripts (i.e. when using the Mail Sender Script Service). There are currently 2 possible strategies that you configure in your ##xwiki.properties## file((( | ||
| 30 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 31 | #-# [Since 6.4M2] | ||
| 32 | #-# Defines which authorization checks are done when sending mails using the Mail Sender Script Service. | ||
| 33 | #-# Example of valid values: | ||
| 34 | #-# - "programmingrights": the current document must have Programming Rights | ||
| 35 | #-# - "alwaysallow": no check is performed. This is useful when running XWiki in a secure environment where we | ||
| 36 | #-# want to allow all users to be able to send emails through the Script Service. | ||
| 37 | #-# The default is: | ||
| 38 | # mail.sender.scriptServiceCheckerHint = programmingrights | ||
| 39 | {{/code}} | ||
| 40 | ))) | ||
| 41 | * A list of icons supported by XWiki have been created, with mapping for Silk and Font Awesome. Which means that we now propose a list of icons that are both present in Silk and Font Awesome. | ||
| 42 | * The list off columns in the UserDirectory customization screen is now sorted alphabetically | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | 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<version>%22&tempMax=1000]] fixed in this release. | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | = For Developers = | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | == Mail Sender Permissions == | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | There's now a [[pluggable permission checker>>extensions:Extension.Mail Sender API||anchor="HPluggablePermissionChecker"]] used for checking if a mail should be sent, when using the Mail Sender Script Service. Two implementations are provided (see above) but you can also provide your own implementation by implementing the ##org.xwiki.mail.script.ScriptServicePermissionChecker## component role: | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | {{code language="java"}} | ||
| 53 | @Role | ||
| 54 | @Unstable | ||
| 55 | public interface ScriptServicePermissionChecker | ||
| 56 | { | ||
| 57 | /** | ||
| 58 | * @param message the message to check for authorization | ||
| 59 | * @exception MessagingException if the message is not allowed to be sent | ||
| 60 | */ | ||
| 61 | void check(MimeMessage message) throws MessagingException; | ||
| 62 | } | ||
| 63 | {{/code}} | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | For example you could imagine implementing checks on the size of the email or who the recipients are, run the content of the mail through some filter, etc. | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | == Icon Picker == | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | An [[icon picker>>extensions:Extension.Icon Theme Application||anchor="#HIconPicker"]] has been created to help users selecting an image in the list of supported icons. | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | ((( | ||
| 72 | {{image reference="icon-picker.png"/}} | ||
| 73 | ))) | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | This picker is already used in [[Application Within Minutes>>extensions:Extension.App Within Minutes Application]] for the application's icon selection. | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | == Skin Extensions == | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | [[Now you can use LESS in your Skin Extensions!>>extensions:Extension.Skin Extension Plugin||anchor="HUseLESS"]]. You just need to set the new property "Content Type" to LESS inside your Skin Extension object: | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | ((( | ||
| 82 | {{image reference="contentTypeLESS.png"/}}. | ||
| 83 | ))) | ||
