| 3 | First milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 2.2 version ([[Roadmap>>enterprise:Main.Roadmap]]). | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | This release mainly introduces new Model, the possibility to register wiki macros for any user or wiki and many improvements of xar import. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 2.1.1) = | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | == Contextual wikimacros == | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | It's now possible for any user to register wiki macro anywhere and in any wiki. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | For example if the user does not have the proper right, only he will see the macro he registered, then an admin can re-save it to make it available for everyone if the macro is validated. | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | == General UI improvements == | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | * In the wiki source code viewer, allow to toggle line numbers faster from Javascript | ||
| 18 | * Enable full screen view when displaying the wiki source code (viewer=code) | ||
| 19 | * Internationalize macro descriptors | ||
| 20 | * Attachment trash | ||
| 21 | * Display the contents of the Document Recycle Bin in the document index | ||
| 22 | * ActionMenu: Add Profile submenu item to the "current user" menu | ||
| 23 | image:XSCOLIBRI-170.png | ||
| 24 | * Reorder the document actions in the "More actions" menu: copy, rename, delete | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | == Development improvements == | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | * Added support for "xcontext" binding in 1.0 groovy macro | ||
| 29 | * Allow set to null in velocity | ||
| 30 | * Add an API method for creating a LinkedHashMap | ||
| 31 | * New APIs for accessing deleted attachments from the trash | ||
| 32 | * The class wizard should propose to add a SheetClass object to the class sheet | ||
| 33 | * Add support for 'on page' style extensions | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | == Office import improvements == | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | * Added support for Office2007 document formats | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | == XAR Import improvements == | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | The XAR import interface has been revamped. The new interface (see screenshots below) now provides : | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | * More explicit options regarding revision history handling | ||
| 44 | * The new option to **add a new version to existing documents** instead of overriding them | ||
| 45 | * A rich UI that allows to select/unselect whole spaces at once | ||
| 46 | * Support for importing when no javascript is available. The UI degrades nicely to a less rich interface | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | [[image:importer.png||width="700"]] | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | == Blog improvement == | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | * Add the Create a new post to category pages - when used by default select that category | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | == Dependencies upgrade == | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | * Upgraded to Groovy 1.7 | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | == New Model module with Reference implementation == | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | The goal is to provide [[APIs>>http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-model/]] to remove all String manipulations around documents and attachment names. It also introduces the concept of Reference for any entity of the model and the parser/serializer associated. For now Wiki, Space, Document and attachment are supported; classes objects and properties should come in milestone 2. | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | From a user point of view this will result in supporting any character in document names for example. In addition, this is also a step in the direction of supporting nested spaces (the storage would also need to be changed to support that). | ||
| 63 | |||
| 64 | In practice the existing code has not yet been fully refactored to benefit from the new implementation. The work has been started in XWiki Enterprise 2.2 Milestone 1 and will continue in XWiki Enterprise 2.2 Milestone 2 and beyond. | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | * Always use UTF-8 for URL encoding | ||
| 69 | * Attachments should produce document modification events | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | * Lots of accessibility fixes | ||
| 72 | * Lots of bugs fixes | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | = Known issues = | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | * [[Bugs we know about>>http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&type=1&pid=10010&resolution=-1&sorter/field=updated&sorter/order=DESC]] | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | == General Notes == | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | {{warning}}If you're running in a multiwiki setup you'll also need to define the property //xwiki.store.migration.databases=all// to your //xwiki.cfg// file or explicitly name all databases to be migrated as in <tt>xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,...//.{{/warning}} | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from the improvements listed above. | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | {{warning}}Always make sure you compare your //xwiki.cfg// file with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Note 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.{{/warning}} | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | == Migration Notes == | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | * The new parser/serializer for document names comes with new features and changes some behaviors: | ||
| 91 | ** introducing escaping means: | ||
| 92 | *** ##\## which is escaping character need to be doubled in full document name like in ##Space.Docume | ||
| 93 | nt## whcih mean space ##Space## and document ##Docum\ent## | ||
| 94 | *** some generated documents names will now contains ##\## to escape thing like dot in a document name. For example ##Space.Docu\.ment## means space ##Space## and document ##Docu.ment## | ||
| 95 | ** support for the syntax ##wikiname:Document## has been dropped, so in this example "wikiname:Document" will be seen as the document name because no ##.## has been found |
