8.1 | 13 | == Flavors == |
| |
1.1 | 14 | |
| |
8.1 | 15 | {{warning}} |
| |
10.1 | 16 | This feature is experimental and not bundled in XWiki by default. However, you can install and try it, but only for test purpose. |
| |
8.1 | 17 | {{/warning}} |
| |
1.1 | 18 | |
| |
11.1 | 19 | In the future, XWiki will offer different Flavors. A Flavor is a collection of applications. When you install a Flavor, you get a wiki fully configured for a use-case. In this release, we have implemented the ability to chose a Flavor when you create a new wiki. |

| |
1.1 | 33 | == Miscellaneous == |
| 34 | |||
 |
3.1 | 35 | * Mail API has been slightly modified to fix a bug when waiting for all mails to have been processed (the ##waitForProcessing()## wasn't really waiting!). As a consequence calls to ##MailResult.waitTillProcessed(long timeout)## and ##MailResult.isProcessed()## have been replaced by calls to ##MailStatusResult.waitTillProcessed(long timeout)## and ##MailStatusResult.isProcessed()##. Note that for backward compatibility reason the scripting API still supports the old API (but it's deprecated and you should move your code to use the new API). |
| |
1.1 | 36 | |
 |
6.1 | 37 | * Mail Status Store API has been refactored to provides ordered result based on any status fields. A new method also ease loading a single status for a given messageId. |
| 38 | |||

1.1 | 39 | 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. |

4.1 | 43 | == Mail API: Send prepared mime message to multiple users as independent message == |
| |
1.1 | 44 | |
| |
5.1 | 45 | A new mime message cloning factory (hint "message") is available to be used with iterator factories. It duplicates a given source message as is, to allow sending it to multiple users as independent messages. See [[Example 5>>extensions:Extension.Mail Sender API||anchor="HExample5:SendapreparedmimemessagetoalistofUsersandGroups"]] of the documentation for a sample. |

| |
15.1 | 51 | == Job progress improvements == |
| |
14.1 | 52 | |
| |
16.1 | 53 | It's now possible to associate message to each step of the progress. Also a new API have been added to make easier to notify about progress in scripts. |
| 54 | See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Job+Module#HNotifyaboutprogress for more details. | ||
| |
14.1 | 55 | |
| |
17.1 | 56 | The progress is now a tree of step with an associated message and elapsed time for each one which can be retrieved during or after the progress is done. It's also automatically serialized in jobs statuses. |

| |
1.1 | 58 | == Upgrades == |
| 59 | |||
| 60 | The following dependencies have been upgraded: | ||
| 61 | |||
| |
2.1 | 62 | * [[Less4j 1.11.0>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12000]] |
| |
1.1 | 63 | |
| 64 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 65 | |||
 |
11.2 | 66 | * The Mail module's prepare step now does a better handling of the ExecutionContext by cloning it. This way you can safely use it while rendering your mail's template, when you are using the velocity bindings. More details on [[XWIKI-12090>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12090]] |

| 92 | 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. | ||
