XWiki Enterprise 2.2 Milestone 2
Last modified by Thomas Mortagne on 2023/10/13
Second and last milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 2.2 version (Roadmap). The next version will be a Release Candidate.
The main highlights of this release are:
- New Registration page (with Captcha and validation features)
- HTML export supporting exporting pages using the Colibri skin
- Improved speed and responsiveness of the WYSIWYG editor
- Ability to preview comments before they are saved and ability to edit existing comments
New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 2.2 Milestone 1)
New Profile & WatchList UI
- Complete overhaul of the Profile UI
- Inclusion of the WatchList manager page into the Profile as a tab
- Inline-based editing for modifying profile details
- Added Profile tab for managing Profile preferences
- Converted to XWiki Syntax 2.0
New Registration page
- Ability to display a Captcha for spam prevention.
- All fields are checked by client-side script as the user types, then checked by the server for security.
- One-click login after registration.
- Easy for administrators to add fields, configuration with code.
- Can be imported/edited without programming rights.
- Works on older wikis if LiveValidation is imported (Captcha won't appear)
New Menu in Edit mode
The different edition modes that used to be in a separate Panel are now in a new edit menu (similarly to the menu you get in view mode).
WYSIWYG improvements
Improved speed and responsiveness of the WYSIWYG editor
- Decreased the number of tool bar updates (the updates should be delayed with a significant number of milliseconds); normally, just a single update needs to be executed, after the user finishes typing a text fragment
- Decreased the number of evaluations done at each update by using a cache; most of the evaluations are related to the current selection and are shared by multiple editor plugins
Comments UI improvements
Edit comment
The users have the possibility to edit their comments.
Preview comment
The users have the possibility to preview their comment before submitting it.
Important bugs fixed
- HTML export now support dynamic skin elements (like Colibri skin color theme system)
Dependencies upgrade
- Upgrade to GWT 2.0.0
General Notes
You may also want to import the default wiki XAR in order to benefit from the improvements listed above.
