| 29 | = For Developers = | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | == Extension Manager improvements == | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | Extension and dependencies can now provide custom repositories. For now only dependencies repositories are directly used when resolving it before trying registered repositories. | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | In practice it means that Maven custom repositories are now supported properly (at least to resolve artifacts dependencies). Support also been added to Extension Repository API. | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | What's left to do is adding support in XWiki based Extension Repository implementation (among other things to properly import a Maven extension with such custom repositories). | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | == REST API improvements == | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | It's now possible to get a page with everything but attachment content: for this you can enable various part of the document using the following URL parameters: | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | * ##objects##: enable returning document objects | ||
| 44 | * ##class##: enable returning document class properties | ||
| 45 | * ##attachments##: enable returning document attachments | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | They are all disabled by default. | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | Page objects support has also been added to the Page PUT API. | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | See [[The XWiki RESTful API>>platform:Features.XWikiRESTfulAPI]] for more details. | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | == Deprecated and Retired projects == | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | * The [[XML-RPC Integration>>extensions:Extension.XML-RPC Integration]] has been retired. It had been deprecated several years ago in favor of the [[REST API>>platform:Features.XWikiRESTfulAPI]] and it wasn't actively supported. | ||
| 56 | |||
