Release Notes for XWiki Enterprise 2.0 Milestone 3
Third (and last) milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 2.0 version (Roadmap).
New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 2.0 Milestone 2)
At a glance (see below for details):
- Improvements and bug fixes in the GWT WYSIWYG editor
- Improvements and bugfixes in the rendering engine and the syntax converter
- New macros
- Upgrade to SmartGWT 1.2
- New experimental network event distribution module (to be used for clustering XWiki caches)
- Several Blog application improvements
- Several Tag application bug fixes
- Translations updated for de, fr, lv, nl, ru
WYSIWYG improvements
Double click to edit a macro
User can now double click on a macro to edit it and double click in the list of macro to insert it.
Nicer macro names in the list of macros
WYSIWYG does not expose macro identifier anymore but human readable names provided by the different macros.
Rendering improvements
Footnote macro
See Footnote macro documentation.
Formula macro
Ability to render Mathematical Formulas using the {{formula}} macro (see documentation page).
You can check for examples on the Wikipedia Math Markup page.
Smaller XHTML output
We introduced a light XHTML renderer which avoid having all extra datas needed by the WYSIWYG. You will not get any weird XHTML comment anymore in the rendered page.
Renderers are now real components
The same way it's possible to add any parser it's not possible to add any renderer for a specific output simply by registering it as a component.
See Rendering Module.
New plain text parser
Plain text parser make possible to put in a page some plain text to render it exactly as it. The syntax name of plain text renderer is plain/1.0, you can enable it in xwiki.cfg.
Remote Observation Manager
It's now possible to make different instances of XWiki or other programs shares events.
The main use cases for this are:
- clustering
- external monitoring of XWiki
This release include documents events support for code using new Observation Manager and remote events support in document cache so that's it's possible to do basic clustering already. The old code using old notification system will be upgraded during the RC process before the final 2.0 version and support will be added for other types of events. Note that Remote Observation Manager already support any kind of fully Serializable events.
Translations updated
- de: Helmut Lehner
- fr: Guillaume Lerouge
- lv: Valdis Vitolins
- nl: Hank Schouten
- ru: Ivan Podgorny
Important bugs fixed
- XWIKI-4140 - Wiki macros are evaluating programming rights on wrong (local) documents when executed in virtual wikis
- XWIKI-4114 - Not possible to put content in info, warning and error macro from the WYSIWYG
Known issues
Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes
General Notes
You may also want to import the default wiki XAR in order to benefit from improvements listed above.
API Breakages
The following APIs were modified since XWiki Enterprise 2.0M2:
- Rendering Module
- Macro have to provide a human readable name in various AbstractMacro helpers constructors
- Big refactor around renderers and the way to use them since they are real components now
