| 24 | = For Developers = | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | == Extension Manager improvements == | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | === Feature version === | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | Each extension feature now have its own version. See [[extensions:Extension.Extension Module Virtual Extensions]] for more details. | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | === Namespace constraint === | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | It's now possible to indicate a constraint on where an extension can be installer (only root namespace, etc.). | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | In Maven you can do that using ##xwiki.extension.namespaces## custom property. See [[Maven Connector>>extensions:Extension.XWiki Commons - Extension - Repository - Maven||anchor="HCustomproperties"]] for more details. | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | === Compare Extensions === | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | ##org.xwiki.extension.Extension## and ##org.xwiki.extension.ExtensionId## now implement Comparable to make easier manipulate them (order lists, find out if we are doing an upgrade or a downgrade, etc.). | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | == Deprecated and Retired projects == | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | * Colibri skin moved to https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/skin-colibri | ||
| 45 | * Color Theme application moved to https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/skin-colibri | ||
| 46 | * Old XWiki 1.0 syntax rendering framework moved to https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-platform-oldrendering | ||
| 47 | * XWiki 1.0 rendering parser moved to https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki10-parser | ||
| 48 | * XWiki 1.0 chart macro moved to https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-platform-chart-macro10 | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | == Upgrades == | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | The following dependencies have been upgraded: | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | * [[Bouncy Castle 1.54>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-897]] | ||
| 55 | * [[HTMLCleaner 2.16>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-825]] | ||
| 56 | * [[Jackson 2.7.0>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-875]] | ||
| 57 | * [[JGroups 3.6.7>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13003]] | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | * Replaced a few String based APIs by Locale based equivalent | ||
| 62 | * Generated URLs for document-based skin extensions (SSX and JSX) now contain the version of the document, so when a change is made to the extension the browser don't use an outdated version from its cache. | ||
| 63 | * Support for chaining uberspectors, first introduced in XWiki as an enhancement of Velocity 1.5, has been part of the official library since Velocity 1.6. As such, we're deprecating our custom classes that provide this functionality. If you have custom uberspectors that implement ##org.xwiki.velocity.introspection.ChainableUberspector## or extend ##org.xwiki.velocity.introspection.AbstractChainableUberspector##, update them to ##org.apache.velocity.util.introspection.ChainableUberspector## and ##org.apache.velocity.util.introspection.AbstractChainableUberspector##. If you have a custom list of uberspectors specified under ##runtime.introspector.uberspect.chainClasses##, just use the ##runtime.introspector.uberspect## property for defining the list. | ||
| 64 | * the [[XWiki Select Widget>>platform:DevGuide.XWikiSelect]] now offers a javascript API in the form of a jQuery plugin, to get the current value or clear the selection (it was also introduced in [[XWiki 7.4.1>>ReleaseNotes.ReleaseNotesXWiki741]]). | ||
| 65 | * String entity reference resolvers now have the possibility to specify a custom type setup. See [[XWIKI-13023>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13023]] for more details. | ||

| 94 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | == General Notes == | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | 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. | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | == Issues specific to XWiki 8.0 Milestone 1 == | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | * The WebDAV feature is now configured using Servlet 3.0 annotations. Make sure you deploy XWiki in a Servlet Container that is configured to discover Servlet 3.0 annotations (at least for the XWiki ##xwiki-platform-webdav-server-*.jar## JAR). If you're upgrading also make sure you edit your ##web.xml## to remove all the Servlet and Filter definitions for WebDAV (search for ##dav## in ##web.xml##). | ||
