| 8 | |||
| 9 | Second milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 3.2 version ([[Roadmap>>Main.Roadmap]]). During a time when most developers are on vacation, there's very few things to announce in this release. | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 3.2 Milestone 1) = | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | == User Dashboards == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | After wiki- and space-wide dashboards, this milestone brings support for personal dashboards. Each user can define their own dashboard in their profile document. | ||
| 16 | |||

| 18 | |||
| 19 | == Spotlight search improvements == | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Much polishing and bugfixing work has gone into the Spotlight-like search, making it more stable and easier to use and customize. Some of the improvements include the option to display only one "//loading//" status for all the suggestion sources, and the option to display hints next to each search result. | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | image:suggest.png | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | == Extension Manager improvements == | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | Progressing further with the extension manager, 3.2M2 adds support for //virtual extensions//, or aliases for extensions that have changed their identifiers, and support for pulling in ##provided## dependencies. | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | = For Developers = | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | == New JavaScript testing framework == | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | Unit tests for JavaScript code can now be written using the [[Jasmine framework>>http://pivotal.github.com/jasmine/]] for behavioral-driven development. | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | == Named parameters for the event stream == | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | The new [[event stream module>>extensions:Extension.Event Stream Module]] now has support for arbitrary named parameters to be associated with the stored events. This is a better way of dealing with extra parameters than the old up to 5 numbered parameters supported by the old ActivityStream plugin. The limitation is that both the name and the value must be strings of at most 255 characters. Read more about the event stream module and how to use these named parameters in [[the module's documentation>>extensions:Extension.Event Stream Module]]. | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | == GPG signed artifacts == | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | From now on, all build artifacts will be signed by one of the XWiki developers using a PGP signature. Such signatures are available in [[our maven repository>>http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/org/]] as ##.asc## files next to each artifact. We advise you to check the signatures of the files you download to make sure there are no problems with them. | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | To check the signatures, you should: | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | # Install GPG, if it's not already installed on your system | ||
| 46 | # Download both the artifact and its ##.asc## counterpart | ||
| 47 | # Run ##gpg -~-verify -~-keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve=true //artifact-file.jar.asc//## | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | == Moved legacy code into separate modules == | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | By default, the platform is now free of legacy code: deprecated features that have been officially removed, but are still included via aspects for backwards compatibility. For each platform module that had legacy code, there's a corresponding module in ##xwiki-platform-legacy## that generates an extended ##jar## containing the deprecated classes or methods. | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | == Upgrades == | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | * Groovy 1.8.1 | ||
| 56 | * jruby 1.6.3 | ||
| 57 | * Hibernate 3.6.6 Final | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | == General Notes == | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | {{warning}} | ||
| 64 | 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,...//. | ||
| 65 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from the improvements listed above. | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | {{warning}} | ||
| 70 | 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. | ||
| 71 | {{/warning}} | ||
