Following the goals established for the 3.x cycle, XWiki Enterprise 3.3 delivers the first usable but experimental versions of App Within Minutes and Extension Manager features.

New and Noteworthy since XWiki Enterprise 3.2

App Within Minutes (Experimental)

This feature offers a wizard to help you create collaborative web applications within minutes, based on XWiki's powerful structured data management system.

Check the App Within Minutes documentation for more details.

Extension Manager (Experimental)

Check the Extension Manager Application documentation for more details.

Link Checker

It's now possible to check the statuses of all external links found in your wiki.

FAQ Application

A new FAQ application is now made available (but not bundled by default in XWiki Enterprise):

Better support for exporting CJK documents as PDF

CJK characters, shorthand for Chinese, Japanese and Korean, need special fonts not provided in the standard 14 fonts required by the PDF specification, nor in the FreeFonts distributed and enabled by default with XWiki. Starting with this version we also distribute three new free fonts, along with the configuration needed to enable them for their target languages.

LDAP user membership improvements

Organization unit and search filter support have been added in the group membership mapping settings. To use them, replace the group DN with an organization unit DN or with any search filter.

Attachments improvements

Since the filesystem attachment storage allows uploading very large files, a necessary improvement is to be able to pause and resume downloads. Starting with this version, it is possible to do so, since the /download/ action now respects the Range HTTP header.

Several bugs with downloading attachments when the filesystem storage is enabled have also been fixed, making this feature ready for production use.

Debian packages

Starting with 3.3 Milestone 1 Debian packages and repositories are released.

You can add one of the following list files to /etc/debian/apt/source.list.d/:

• http://maven.xwiki.org/stable/xwiki-stable.list : all stable releases starting with 3.3 (so nothing right now)
• http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/xwiki-releases.list : all releases starting with 3.3 Milestone 1
• http://maven.xwiki.org/snapshots/xwiki-snapshots.list : all snapshots release starting with 3.3 branch
