| 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. | ||

 |
27.1 | 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. |
| |
1.1 | 8 | |
| |
13.1 | 9 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 7.3M2) = |
| |
1.1 | 10 | |
 |
31.1 | 11 | [[Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 7.3>>https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=13500]]. |
| |
1.1 | 12 | |
| |
15.1 | 13 | == Flamingo == |
| |
1.1 | 14 | |
| |
25.1 | 15 | * The delele UI now uses the 'title' and 'location' columns to list the children that may be affected by the delete action:((( |
| |
17.1 | 16 | {{image reference="deleteUI.png" width="33%"/}} |
| |
15.1 | 17 | ))) |
| |
1.1 | 18 | |
| |
25.1 | 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 | |||
| |
28.1 | 23 | {{image reference="appStructure.png"/}} |
| |
25.1 | 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 | |||
| |
1.1 | 27 | == Miscellaneous == |
| 28 | |||
| |
14.1 | 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. |
 |
19.1 | 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. |
 |
24.2 | 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"]]. |
| |
23.1 | 32 | * Added support for list properties in LDAP user synchronization |
| |
1.1 | 33 | |
| |
31.1 | 34 | See the [[full list of JIRA issues>>https://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+%227.3-rc-1%22&tempMax=1000]] fixed in this release. |
