Eduard Moraru 11.2 13 == Script Right ==
14
15 The Script Right is now set to DENY by default, meaning that if you do not have it explicitly, you will not be able to execute the scripts that you write with your user account.
16
17 However, for backwards compatibility reasons, the standard XWiki Enterprise distribution comes with the Script Right being allowed for all users at the main wiki level so that, unless you (as an admin) explicitly revoke the right for some users or explicitly deny it, they will be able to execute the scripts they wrote, just like before.

33 = For Developers =
34
Thomas Mortagne 8.1 35 == New Space/XWikiSpace table ==
36
37 A new tables dedicated to spaces has been introduced. See [[platform:DevGuide.DatabaseSchema]] for more details.
38
Thomas Mortagne 7.2 39 == Queries improvement ==
Eduard Moraru 1.1 40
Thomas Mortagne 7.2 41 === Allow executing complete SELECT queries ===
Eduard Moraru 1.1 42
Thomas Mortagne 7.2 43 In HQL and XWQL it's now possible to execute complete ##SELECT## queries without programming right as long as you follow some rules currently defined in ##com.xpn.xwiki.internal.store.hibernate.query.HqlQueryUtils## which is a list of database field allowed in the SELECT clause:
44
45 * ##Document##/##XWikiDocument## table: ##fullName##, ##name##, ##space##, ##language##, ##defaultLanguage##, ##translation##, ##hidden##
46 * ##Space##/##XWikiSpace## table: ##reference##, ##name##, ##parent##, ##hidden##
47
Thomas Mortagne 10.1 48 This is also true for the named queries located in ##queries.hbm.xml## file.
49
Thomas Mortagne 7.2 50 === New SecureQuery ===
51
52 The right to execute or not some query is now controlled by each ##org.xwiki.query.QueryExecutor##.
53
54 Anyone can ask the executor to check or ignore right through the new ##org.xwiki.query.SecureQuery## extending ##org.xwiki.query.Query##:
55
56 * checkCurrentAuthor: indicate if the current author right should be checked
57 * checkCurrentUser: indicate if the result should be filtered based on current user right (only implemented by SOLR right now)
58
Vincent Massol 9.3 59 == JS API Improvements ==
Vincent Massol 9.1 60
61 * It's now possible to create a Nested Spaces Reference using XWik'is Javascript API. For example:(((
62 {{code language="javascript"}}
Vincent Massol 9.2 63 // Construct a Nested Space reference
64 var reference = new XWiki.SpaceReference('wiki', ['space1', 'space2']);
65 expect(XWiki.Model.serialize(reference)).toEqual('wiki:space1.space2');
66 reference = new XWiki.DocumentReference('wiki', ['space1', 'space2'], 'page');
67 expect(XWiki.Model.serialize(reference)).toEqual('wiki:space1.space2.page');
68 // Construct a non-Nested Space reference
69 reference = new XWiki.SpaceReference('wiki', 'space');
70 expect(XWiki.Model.serialize(reference)).toEqual('wiki:space');
71 // Try passing non-valid space parameters
72 expect(function() {new XWiki.SpaceReference('wiki', [])}).toThrow('Missing mandatory space name or invalid type for: []');
73 expect(function() {new XWiki.SpaceReference('wiki', 12)}).toThrow('Missing mandatory space name or invalid type for: [12]');
Vincent Massol 9.1 74 {{/code}}
75 )))
Vincent Massol 9.2 76 * A new ##XWiki.EntityReference.equals()## method has been added. For example:(((
77 {{code language="javascript"}}
78 var reference1 = new XWiki.DocumentReference('wiki', ['space1', 'space2'], 'page');
79 var reference2 = new XWiki.DocumentReference('wiki', ['space1', 'space2'], 'page');
80 var reference3 = new XWiki.DocumentReference('wiki2', ['space1', 'space2'], 'page');
81 expect(reference1.equals(reference2)).toBe(true);
82 expect(reference1.equals(reference3)).toBe(false);
83 {{/code}}
84 )))
Thomas Mortagne 21.1 85 * A new ##XWiki.EntityReference.fromJSONObject(obejct)## has been added to create a Javascript ##XWiki.EntityReference## from a Java ##EntityReference## directly serialized as JSON:(((
86 {{code language="javascript"}}
87 var reference = XWiki.EntityReference.fromJSONObject(jsonText.evalJSON());
88 {{/code}}
89 )))
Thomas Mortagne 22.1 90 * A new ##XWiki.EntityReferenceTree## class which partially mimic Java ##EntityReferenceTree## on Javascript side. There is not much yet, it was mostly introduced to make easier to manipulate a serailized Java ##EntityReferenceTree##
Vincent Massol 9.1 91
Eduard Moraru 1.1 92 == Deprecated and Retired projects ==
93
Thomas Mortagne 15.1 94 * [[OSCache based cache extension>>extensions:Extension.Cache OSCache]] moved to https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-platform-cache-oscache

106 == Miscellaneous ==
107
Eduard Moraru 7.1 108 * Custom displayers are now executed with the rights of the user who wrote them (i.e. author of the class document or content author of the displayer document), and not the rights of the user who wrote the script that uses them (i.e. current context document's content author). See [[XWIKI-12306>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12306]] for more details.
Thomas Mortagne 14.1 109 * In the [[Active Install Extension>>extensions:Extension.Active Installs Server Application]], a new Velocity Macro has been introduced to compute the number of Active Installs having a specific Extension. Example usage:(((
Vincent Massol 13.1 110 {{code language="none"}}
111 {{include reference="ActiveInstalls.ExtensionCount"/}}
Eduard Moraru 1.1 112
Vincent Massol 13.1 113 {{velocity}}
114 #set ($extensionIds = [
115 'org.xwiki.contrib:xwiki-totem-application',
116 'jsimard:event-reporter-application',
117 'mouhb:likeapplication'
118 ])
119 |=Extension Id|=Count
120 #foreach($extensionId in $extensionIds)
121 #countActiveInstallsUsingExtension($extensionId $count)
122 |$extensionId|$count
123 #end
124 {{/velocity}}
125 {{/code}}
126 )))
Thomas Mortagne 17.1 127 * Better support of non-DOCUMENT ##EntityReferences## in ##DocumentReferenceConverter##. It now behaves like ##XWiki#getDocument(EntityReference)##

151 == General Notes ==
152
153 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.
