Guillaume Lerouge 6.1 13 ** XWiki now requires [Java 1.5>http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/] to run.
Vincent Massol 11.2 14 ** The XWiki GWT API was upgraded to [GWT 1.4>http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/]. ~~GWT is used for [XWiki Watch>watch:Main.WebHome], [Curriki>curriki:Main.WebHome] & the coming [New WYSIWYG Editor>dev:Design.NewWysiwygEditorBasedOnGwt]~~
Guillaume Lerouge 10.1 15 ** Improvements on the XWiki XMLRPC interface. ~~Those improvements were required in order to add [Object Edition Support>platform:DevGuide.DataModel] to [XEclipse>code:Extensions.XEclipseExtension]~~
Vincent Massol 11.3 16 ** JavaScript changes (functions written with Rico were coded anew using Scriptaculous in order to reduce the number of JS frameworks we use)
Guillaume Lerouge 5.1 17 * *[Attachments>platform:Features.Attachments]*
Guillaume Lerouge 11.1 18 ** When [rollbacking a wiki page>platform:Features.VersionControl], [attachments>platform:Features.Attachments] versions are now rollbacked as well.
Vincent Massol 11.4 19 ** The option to deactivate attachment versioning was added. If you're not interested in versioning attachments this can speed up your XWiki instance.
Guillaume Lerouge 5.1 20 * *[Skins>platform:Features.Skins]*
Guillaume Lerouge 9.1 21 ** 2 new colors were added for [the toucan skin>code:Skins.ToucanSkin] : Black & Dark Blue. ~~See screenshots below~~

24 ** [Keyboard shortcuts were made a generic feature using a standard keyboard shortcuts set>platform:Features.KeyboardShortcuts].
Vincent Massol 12.1 25 ** [Improved statistics performances>platform:Features.IntegratedStatistics]. Statistics were impacting XWiki peformance. They're now queue and written to the database in a seprate thread resulting to minimal performance slowdown. We now recommend leaving them on. ~~See screenshot below~~
Guillaume Lerouge 11.1 26 ** [Print and Print Preview now print the whole content of a document>platform:Features.DocumentLifecycle#HPrint].
Guillaume Lerouge 9.1 27 ** The Index page was improved to add real-time page filtering. ~~See screenshot below~~

42 1.1 Common Migration notes
43
44 The database structure has been changed but we have set up an automatic migration system so you shouldn't have to touch your Database to upgrade to 1.4M2. Thus you can simply install this version and configure it to point to your existing database.
45
46 #warning("If you're running in a multiwiki setup you'll also need to define the property <tt>xwiki.store.migration.databases=all</tt> to your <tt>xwiki.cfg</tt> file or explicitely name all databases to be migrated as in <tt>xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,...</tt>.")
47
48 You may also want to import the [default wiki XAR>Main.Download] in order to benefit from improvements listed above.
49
50 #warning("Always make sure you compare your <tt>xwiki.cfg</tt> file with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Of note, you should add <tt>xwiki.store.migration=1</tt> so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.")
