First milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 2.3 version (Roadmap).

The highlights of this release are: new annotation feature, new colibri color theme editor, anonymous commenting with captcha.

New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 2.2.3)

Annotations

The scope of this feature is to allow users to annotate text in an XWiki document. With the new feature you can:

• Make annotations by selecting the text and pressing Ctrl + M (Meta + M)

  

• Show annotations on your page

  

• See an annotation for a text item by hovering over the yellow icon next to it

  

• Edit and delete annotations straight from the page

  

• Manage annotations from the "Annotations" tab

  

You can find a more detailed description of the annotations feature on the documentation page.

Color Theme Editor

The new editor allows fast and easy modifications for the look and feel of the wiki. You'll find in this editor 

• A new way of displaying themes on the "Color Themes" space home

  

• The ability to create a new theme from the "Color Theme" space home

  

• A palette for each area you are editing with a popup listing everything you can customize at this level

  

• A dialog where you can make the desired changes

  

• The possibility to undo the latest modifications or reset all changes

Read more about Color Themes on the dedicated application page.

Anonymous commenting with Captcha

Now thanks to the captcha module you can require unregistered users to solve a captcha in order to post comments. To require guests to solve a captcha simply go to the "Rights" section of the Administration Application for the wiki or just the space, and check the box saying "Require unregistered users to solve a captcha when posting a comment on a page". Note This box does not give guests permission to comment, it only adds a requirement for commenting if they already have permission.
This feature is documented here.
Sample:

Easier development of configurable applications using XWiki.ConfigurableClass

If you are developing an application and you need to provide your users with a way to configure it from the Administration Application you are in luck because all you need to do is create a custom class holding all of the configuration for your application then add an object of your custom configuration class and an object of XWiki.Configurable class and your application will be able to be configured in the administration interface.

Note the current user does not have permission to edit one of the configurable applications.
