| 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>) = | ||

| 11 | [[Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for <version>>>http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=<fill id here>]]. | ||

| 13 | == <feature N> == | ||

| 15 | <description of feature N> | ||
| 16 | |||
 |
12.1 | 17 | == LESS Module == |
| 18 | |||
| 19 | * For performances reasons, we have set a limit for the number of LESS CSS compilations that can be done simultaneously. | ||
| 20 | * For the same reason, the LESS cache is not cleared anymore at XWiki launch. | ||
| 21 | For more informations about this, please see [[extensions:Extension.LESS Module||anchor="Cache"]]. | ||
| 22 | |||
| |
1.1 | 23 | == Miscellaneous == |
| 24 | |||
 |
8.1 | 25 | * The "Create Page" Panel now supports creating Nested Spaces (i.e. you can use references in the Space input field and you now need to escape special characters if you wish to have a space containing '.' or ':' characters for example). |
| |
9.1 | 26 | * The [[Active Installs>>extensions:Extension.Active Installs Server Application]] Dashboard now displays the Java versions in an aggregated format, displaying only major + minor (e.g. "1.7", "1.8"). This makes it simpler to analyze the versions of Java used for XWiki. |
 |
9.5 | 27 | * When deleting a non-terminal page and the only child of that page is the 'WebPreferences' terminal page, the 'Affect children' checkbox will be checked by default. Normally, it would be unchecked, but in this case we`ve noticed that it`s very easy to forget about that document (since it's hidden and automatically created when going into 'Page Administration') and your deleted page might still show up in some places because of that leftover. You can still uncheck it if you know what you are doing. |

| 85 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | == General Notes == | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | 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. | ||

| |
8.1 | 91 | == Issues specific to XWiki 8.0 Milestone 2 == |
| |
1.1 | 92 | |
| |
8.1 | 93 | * If you wish to use '.' or ':' characters in the "Create Page" Panel you'll now need to escape them. For example: ##My\.Space\:name## |
| |
9.4 | 94 | * If, in your application/custom code, you were using ##XWiki.EntityReferenceTree## in the JavaScript API, you will need to update your code to the new structure of the ##children## property of an ##XWiki.EntityReferenceTreeNode##. Previously, the ##children## property was a map of ##<nameString, XWiki.EntityReferenceTreeNode>##. Now, it was changed to a map of ##<nameString, <XWiki.EntityType, XWiki.EntityReferenceTreeNode>>## because, at each level, you can have both a ##XWiki.EntityType.DOCUMENT## and a ##XWiki.EntityType.SPACE## node with the same name (i.e. siblings) and the old implementation did not consider this case, thus creating a bug. Using the new structure, the bug is fixed, but old code had/has to be updated. |
