| 5 | This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Enterprise>>http://enterprise.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. | ||

| 9 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki <version - 1>) = | ||
| 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 | The "more options" menu have been split and a "page admin" menu has been created: | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | {{gallery}} | ||
| 18 | image:content_menus.png | ||
| 19 | image:page-admin-menus.png | ||
| 20 | image:more-options-menu.png | ||
| 21 | {{/gallery}} | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | == Breadcrumb == | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | When the hierarchy of a nested pages is long, we do not display it entirely anymore. Instead, we display a limited version, that the user can expand by clicking on the "ellipsis" character ('...'): | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | * limited:((( | ||
| 28 | {{image reference="breadcrumb-limited.png"/}} | ||
| 29 | ))) | ||
| 30 | * full:((( | ||
| 31 | {{image reference="breadcrumb-full.png"/}} | ||
| 32 | ))) | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | Note that this behavior have also been added to all hierarchy breadcrumbs, including location of search results, etc... | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | ((( | ||
| 37 | {{image reference="breadcrumb-search-results.png"/}} | ||
| 38 | ))) | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | == Page Index == | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | Since we have introduced the concept of Nested Spaces we needed to replace the Space column in the LiveTable with a more generic solution. Thus, the [[extensions:Extension.Index Application]] has now merged the previous Page + Space columns into a single Location column and we've introduced new column (which is still called Page) but which now displays the title of pages, as can be seen on the following screenshot: | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | {{image reference="livetable-location.png" width="50%"/}} | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | The same strategy is implemented for the ##children## and the ##siblings## viewers. | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | {{info}} | ||
| 49 | XWiki currently doesn't support filtering on Page titles which is why the new Page column doesn't allow filtering. However since the Location column includes the full path, users can still search on Page names. | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | At a technical level the displaying of page titles was needed because all non-terminal Page names are called ##WebHome## and displaying that would not be user-friendly. | ||
| 52 | {{/info}} | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | <insert misc user stuff and important bug fix descriptions here in a list, when they are too small to warrant a section by themselves - Change the version in the URL below!> | ||

Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema.
