| 28 | = For Developers = | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | == Extension Manager improvements == | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | === Custom repositories === | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | Extensions and dependencies can now provide custom repositories. For now only dependencies repositories are directly used when resolving it before trying registered repositories. | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | 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. | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | 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). | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | === Resolve dependencies in extension repository first === | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | The extension repository is checked first when searching for extension dependencies. | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | == REST API improvements == | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | 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: | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | * ##objects##: enable returning document objects | ||
| 49 | * ##class##: enable returning document class properties | ||
| 50 | * ##attachments##: enable returning document attachments | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | They are all disabled by default. | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | Page objects support has also been added to the Page PUT API. | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | See [[The XWiki RESTful API>>platform:Features.XWikiRESTfulAPI]] for more details. | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | == Flamingo Improvements == | ||
| 59 | |||

| 67 | ))) | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | == Deprecated and Retired projects == | ||
| 70 | |||

| 111 | |||
| 112 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | == General Notes == | ||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | 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. | ||
| 117 | |||
| 118 | == Issues specific to XWiki 7.3-milestone-1 == | ||
| 119 | |||
| 120 | * If you had modified the custom displayer for Time Zones in either ##XWiki.XWikiUsers## or ##XWiki.XWikiPreferences## then when upgrading to 7.3M1 your change will be removed. This is because we've introduced a Time Zone XProperty type which is replacing the String type used before for storing the Time Zones. If you wish to put back your change you can define a custom displayer on the new Time Zone XProperty in ##XWiki.XWikiUsers## or ##XWiki.XWikiPreferences##. | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | == API Breakages == | ||
