| 9 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 7.2M3) = | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | [[Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for <version>>>http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=<fill id here>]]. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | == Flamingo == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | Following the introduction of the Nested Documents feature, we have made some modifications to the Flamingo skin: | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | * The welcome message from the main wiki home page has been updated. | ||
| 18 | * The "Spaces" widget from the wiki dashboard has been replaced with "Pages" which shows the hierarchy of nested pages from that wiki. | ||
| 19 | * For non terminal documents, we have introduced a "Page Administration", where you will find settings that concern the document and its children (it's actually the old space administration behind the scene). But we have also introduced 2 sections for setting rights on these pages: | ||
| 20 | ** a section to set rights for the document only. | ||
| 21 | ** a section to set rights for the document and its children. | ||
| 22 | * For terminal documents, nothing changes, you can change the access rights of the page in the "edit" menu. The only addition is a "Administer Parent" link in the "More actions" menu to administer the parent page (which again is the space administration behind the scene). | ||
| 23 | * The create action has been relooked (with the introduction of the "page type" field) and proposes to import an office document. | ||
| 24 | * A new "children" viewer is now accessible in the "more actions" menu, along with the other viewers. | ||
| 25 | * For Terminal Pages, a new "siblings" viewer is present, which replaces the old "space index" feature. | ||

| 38 | |||
| 39 | == Solr Search == | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | You can now search for nested documents using the [[Solr Search Application>>extensions:Extension.Solr Search Application]]. The display of the search result location has been updated to support nested documents. | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | {{image reference="searchResultLocation.png"/}} | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | The "Space" facet has been replaced with a "Location" facet that supports nested documents. This allows you to search in a specific location in the page hierarchy. | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | {{image reference="searchLocationFacet.png"/}} | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | The "Page" facet has been removed by default because it doesn't bring value in the context of the nested documents: all non-terminal documents have the same name 'WebHome'. The "Wiki" facet is displayed by default only on the main wiki and only if you have multiple wikis. | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | * When [[creating, copying or renaming a page>>platform:Features.DocumentLifecycle]] you can now select a top level location from the tree picker (e.g. copy as top level page) even if you have a single wiki (i.e. only the main wiki). You do this by selecting the root of the tree (i.e. the wiki node). | ||
| 54 | * The [[Document Tree Macro>>extensions:Extension.Document Tree Macro]] is now displaying a message when the tree is empty.((( | ||
| 55 | {{image reference="emptyDocTree.png"/}} | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | With the new ##showRoot## parameter you can force the document tree to show the actual root node (either the one specified by the ##root## parameter or the default root node). | ||
| 58 | ))) | ||
| 59 | * A couple of bugs in the [[App Within Minutes Application>>extensions:Extension.App Within Minutes Application]], that were caused by the introduction of the Nested Documents feature, have been fixed. | ||
| 60 | * It's now possible create new FAQs in Nested Spaces. | ||
| 61 | * When using the XWiki Jetty distribution, a memory dump is automatically created in XWiki's ##data/## folder when an ##Out Of Memory## error occurs. | ||
| 62 | * The Activity Stream now also displays activity for Nested Spaces. | ||
| 63 | * Skin editor now properly works for a nested skin document | ||
| 64 | |||

| 158 | {{comment}}Eduard @ 7.2RC1: | ||
| 159 | I have found 3 differences in xwiki-platform that have not generated a clirr error, maybe they are leftovers or the clirr report did not catch them for some reason. See https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/pom.xml#L493:L510{{/comment}} |
