| 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. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | This release candidate includes a couple of bug fixes and a few dependency upgrades, as well as some improvements related to Nested Pages. The extension developers should check the new UI extension points available for the top menu. | ||

| 9 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 7.3M2) = | ||

| 12 | |||
| 13 | == Flamingo == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | * The delele UI now uses the 'title' and 'location' columns to list the children that may be affected by the delete action:((( | ||

| 17 | ))) | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | == App Within Minutes == | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | The [[App Within Minutes>>extensions:Extension.App Within Minutes Application]] wizard is now generating all the application pages in a single location, as nested pages. The code pages are grouped under the ##Code## page and are marked as hidden (so your users don't see them by default). The application entries are created under the ##Data## page. Backward compatibility is preserved so you should still be able to edit existing applications that don't have the new page organization. | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | {{image reference="appStructure.png"/}} | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | The application wizard has also been modified to support any characters in the application name. The only remaining requirement for the application name is to not be empty. | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | * The breadcrumb tree navigation doesn't show the document translations any more when multilingual is disabled, because navigating to a document translation when multilingual is off doesn't have any effect: the default translation is displayed instead. You can still see the translations in the [[Page Index Tree>>extensions:Extension.Index Application||anchor="HAllDocumentsinatreeview"]] though. | ||
| 30 | * Template providers can now specify if they create terminal or non-terminal documents. See the [[documentation>>extensions:Extension.Administration Application||anchor="HAdvanced:Creatingterminaldocumentswithtemplateproviders"]] for more information. | ||
| 31 | * The //Template Type// option ("type" class property) of a template provider was removed since it was not used from the start and any existing values have been migrated to use the new "terminal" property. See the [[documentation for more information on the "terminal" property>>extensions:Extension.Administration Application||anchor="HAdvanced:Creatingterminaldocumentswithtemplateproviders"]]. | ||
| 32 | * Added support for list properties in LDAP user synchronization | ||
| 33 | |||
