23 = For Developers =
24
25 == New Space/XWikiSpace table ==
26
27 A new tables dedicated to spaces has been introduced. See [[platform:DevGuide.DatabaseSchema]] for more details.
28
29 == Queries improvement ==
30
31 === Allow executing complete SELECT queries ===
32
33 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:
34
35 * ##Document##/##XWikiDocument## table: ##fullName##, ##name##, ##space##, ##language##, ##defaultLanguage##, ##translation##, ##hidden##
36 * ##Space##/##XWikiSpace## table: ##reference##, ##name##, ##parent##, ##hidden##
37
38 === New SecureQuery ===
39
40 The right to execute or not some query is now controlled by each ##org.xwiki.query.QueryExecutor##.
41
42 Anyone can ask the executor to check or ignore right through the new ##org.xwiki.query.SecureQuery## extending ##org.xwiki.query.Query##:
43
44 * checkCurrentAuthor: indicate if the current author right should be checked
45 * checkCurrentUser: indicate if the result should be filtered based on current user right (only implemented by SOLR right now)
46
47 == JS API Improvements ==
48
49 * It's now possible to create a Nested Spaces Reference using XWik'is Javascript API. For example:(((
50 {{code language="javascript"}}
51 // Construct a Nested Space reference
52 var reference = new XWiki.SpaceReference('wiki', ['space1', 'space2']);
53 expect(XWiki.Model.serialize(reference)).toEqual('wiki:space1.space2');
54 reference = new XWiki.DocumentReference('wiki', ['space1', 'space2'], 'page');
55 expect(XWiki.Model.serialize(reference)).toEqual('wiki:space1.space2.page');
56 // Construct a non-Nested Space reference
57 reference = new XWiki.SpaceReference('wiki', 'space');
58 expect(XWiki.Model.serialize(reference)).toEqual('wiki:space');
59 // Try passing non-valid space parameters
60 expect(function() {new XWiki.SpaceReference('wiki', [])}).toThrow('Missing mandatory space name or invalid type for: []');
61 expect(function() {new XWiki.SpaceReference('wiki', 12)}).toThrow('Missing mandatory space name or invalid type for: [12]');
62 {{/code}}
63 )))
64 * A new ##XWiki.EntityReference.equals()## method has been added. For example:(((
65 {{code language="javascript"}}
66 var reference1 = new XWiki.DocumentReference('wiki', ['space1', 'space2'], 'page');
67 var reference2 = new XWiki.DocumentReference('wiki', ['space1', 'space2'], 'page');
68 var reference3 = new XWiki.DocumentReference('wiki2', ['space1', 'space2'], 'page');
69 expect(reference1.equals(reference2)).toBe(true);
70 expect(reference1.equals(reference3)).toBe(false);
71 {{/code}}

113 == General Notes ==
114
115 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.
