16.1 | 31 | == Extension Manager improvements == |
| 32 | |||
| |
17.1 | 33 | === Custom repositories === |
| |
16.1 | 34 | |
| |
17.1 | 35 | Extensions and dependencies can now provide custom repositories. For now only dependencies repositories are directly used when resolving it before trying registered repositories. |
| |
16.1 | 36 | |
| |
17.1 | 37 | In practice it means that Maven custom repositories are now supported properly (at least to resolve artifacts dependencies). On Extension Manager side it means you get the same custom repositories duplicated in the Extension and in each ExtensionDependency. |
| |
16.1 | 38 | |
| |
17.1 | 39 | Support also been added to Extension Repository API. 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). |

| |
1.1 | 44 | |
| |
2.1 | 45 | * ##objects##: enable returning document objects |
| 46 | * ##class##: enable returning document class properties | ||
| 47 | * ##attachments##: enable returning document attachments | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | They are all disabled by default. | ||

 |
5.2 | 51 | Page objects support has also been added to the Page PUT API. |
