| 8 | |||
| 9 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 2.4 Milestone 1) = | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | == Objects and classes editor improvements == | ||

| 14 | |||
| 15 | [[image:classeditor.png||style="border:1px solid black;" width="500"]] | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | == New Template-based page creation == | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | Starting with this release users and applications can provide documents that can be used as template when creating new pages. The new document (content, objects and other metadata) will be replicated from the template. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | * After you have [[created the template and the template provider>>code:Applications.AdministrationApplication#HEasyTemplatesCreationandAdministration28StartingwithXWikiEnterprise2.4M229]] you can then start creating pages from this template: | ||

| 24 | |||
| 25 | * "Wanted Links" also offers the choice to create the new document from the available templates ( "My Template" template in the image below): | ||

| 30 | |||
| 31 | == New Invitation Manager application == | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | The Invitation Manager application allows users to send emails, inviting friends and colleagues to join a wiki. You will be able to configure your wiki to send emails through an open mail relay on the server or through an email account of your choosing. | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | An invitation may allow users to register in a wiki where registration is forbidden. Invitees may choose to accept or decline an invitation. Spam prevention measures ensure that email recipients will have a button to report that message as abuse. | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | Internationalized and configurable email templates generate rich HTML email content from user input. | ||

| 56 | |||
| 57 | == JMX Administration Console == | ||
| 58 | |||

| 60 | * The first usage implemented is about monitoring the JBoss cachad and the Velocity Macro caches, as shown below: | ||
| 61 | |||

| 65 | |||
| 66 | * Allow to remove elements in the watchlist from the user profile | ||
| 67 | * Add in virtual mode, add a wikis section in "elements in your watchlist" | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | {{todo/}} | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | == Script improvements == | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | * Make the Query Manager use the Script Service to expose services to scripts. See [[Query Guide>>platform:DevGuide.QueryGuide]] for more details. | ||
| 74 | * Make possible to directly return the Block based result of a script macro. It's supported for all JSR 223 macro which means all script macro script Velocity macro for now. See [[Script Macro>>code:Macros.ScriptMacro]] for more details. | ||
| 75 | * Prevent nested script macros by default: it's now impossible to generate a script macro with another in another one for security reasons. You can force to enable it by setting ##rendering.macro.script.nestedscripts.enabled = true## in ##xwiki.properties## file. See [[Script Macro>>code:Macros.ScriptMacro]] for more details. | ||

| 105 | |||
| 106 | == General Notes == | ||
| 107 | |||
| 108 | {{warning}} | ||
| 109 | 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 //xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,...//. | ||
| 110 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 111 | |||
| 112 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from the improvements listed above. | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | {{warning}} | ||
| 115 | 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. | ||
| 116 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 117 | |||
