New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 8.0 Milestone 2)

Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 8.0.

Chart Macro Additions

There are several new parameters that can now be set when using the Chart Macro:

Examples:

• Pie chart with no legend displayed, no border, no title and white background:
  {{chart type="pie" source="inline" params="range:B2-D5;series:columns;backgroundColor:FFFFFF;plotBackgroundColor:FFFFFF;plotBorderVisible:false;legendVisible:false" width="320" height="240"}}
  |=|=X|=Y|=Z
  |Q1|1.2|3.4|1.3
  |Q2|4.5|3.4|2.3
  |Q3|1.2|4.5|9.0
  |Q4|3.4|1.2|1.2
  {{/chart}}

  

• Colored background:
  {{chart type="pie" source="inline" params="range:B2-D5;series:columns;backgroundColor:FFFF11;plotBackgroundColor:11FFFF" title="Chart Test" width="320" height="240"}}
  |=|=X|=Y|=Z
  |Q1|1.2|3.4|1.3
  |Q2|4.5|3.4|2.3
  |Q3|1.2|4.5|9.0
  |Q4|3.4|1.2|1.2
  {{/chart}}

  

Rename and Copy UI

• Updated the rename page UI's field labels and descriptions to mention that the update links also updates the relative links inside the renamed page and not just the backlinks. Also moved the count displays from the field label to the field's description, where applicable, in both the rename and the copy UI, for better UI consistency.

  

  

• The copy and rename UI now have the children and links options checked by default. We believe it`s better to preserve data consistency by default, even with the cost o having to go through lengthy operations (like when renaming a document with many children).

Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes

General Notes

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.
