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 has been split and a new "Page Administration" menu has been introduced:
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 Note that you can filter at several path levels in the Location column. For example:
49
50 {{image reference="location-filter.png" width="50%"/}}
51
52 {{info}}
53 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.
54
55 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.
56 {{/info}}
57
58 == New Panels ==
59
60 * A [[Children Panel>>extensions:Extension.Panels Application||anchor="HChildrenPanel"]] has been added to display the list of Children pages of the current Page.(((
61 {{image reference="children.png"/}}
62 )))
63 * A [[Siblings Panel>>extensions:Extension.Panels Application||anchor="HSiblingsPanel"]] has been added to display the list of Sibling pages of the current Page. (((
64 {{image reference="siblings.png"/}}
65 )))
66 * The [[SpaceDocs Panel>>extensions:Extension.Panels Application||anchor="HSpaceDocsPanel"]] has been deprecated and the [[Children Panel>>extensions:Extension.Panels Application||anchor="HChildrenPanel"]] or [[Siblings Panel>>extensions:Extension.Panels Application||anchor="HSiblingsPanel"]] should be used instead. A warning message has been added (visible only to Admins) to explain this:(((
67 {{image reference="spacedocs-warning.png"/}}
68 )))
69
70 == Miscellaneous ==
71
72 * The [[Active Installs Client module>>extensions:Extension.Active Installs Client API||anchor="HFormatEvolution"]] had a bug leading to the ##sinceDays## field not being set correctly (was almost always set to 0).
73
74 See the [[full list of JIRA issues>>http://jira.xwiki.org/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-printable/temp/SearchRequest.html?jqlQuery=project+in+%28XCOMMONS%2C+XRENDERING%2C+XWIKI%2C+XE%29+and+status+%3D+Closed+and+resolution+%3D+Fixed+and+fixVersion+%3D+%22<version>%22&tempMax=1000]] fixed in this release.

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