First milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 2.5 version (Roadmap).

The highlights of this release are:

New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 2.4)

Added mechanism for inserting custom links in the header

• custom navigational links (unversal edit, paged navigation, index, author...)
• custom RSS feed links
• custom metadata links (DOAP, FOAF, generic RDF...)

Example
$xwiki.linkx.use($xwiki.getURL('Blog.BlogRss', 'view', "xpage=plain&blog=${blogDoc.fullName}"),
  {'rel' : 'alternate', 'type':'application/rss+xml', 'title': "$title"})

Introduced cancelable events

This allows to cancel document saving, better security with script execution, and canceling an event that has errors on initialization.

Better external search engine indexing support

Google search results didn't always point to canonical view of pages.

Keep the content menu visible when scrolling down

When scrolling down on a document, the content menu will follow, so the user will not have to scroll up on top of the page in order to access it.

Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes

General Notes

You may also want to import the default wiki XAR in order to benefit from the improvements listed above.

Migration Notes

• The main entry point for the search UI is now the Main.Search page that will use the configured search engine (Lucene by default). If you want to refer to Lucene or Database search explicitly you can use the Main.LuceneSearch and Main.DatabaseSearch pages. Note that nothing is broken here (Main.WebSearch page is still there and internally it includes the Main.DatabaseSearch page), it's just the new clean way of targeting the search page.

Removed deprecated flickr plugin

Removed the old flickr plugin because it was outdated and the API was broken. We will have a new one, re-written, in the future.
It can still be found in contrib-retired. Here is the link.
