| 5 | Following the [[goals established for the 3.x cycle>>enterprise:Main.Roadmap#HXWikiEnterprise3.xCycle]], XWiki Enterprise 3.3 delivers the first usable but experimental versions of App Within Minutes and Extension Manager features. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | = New and Noteworthy since XWiki Enterprise 3.2 = | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | == App Within Minutes (Experimental) == | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | {{info}}This feature is experimental at this point which means you shouldn't use it in production at this stage. However we need the maximum number of feedback on this new feature in order to finalize it and to make it reach the production-ready status which we'd like to reach in 3.4 or 3.5.{{/info}} | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | This feature offers a wizard to help you create collaborative web applications within minutes, based on XWiki's powerful structured data management system. | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | Check the [[App Within Minutes documentation>>extensions:Extension.App Within Minutes Application]] for more details. | ||

| 25 | == Extension Manager (Experimental) == | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | {{info}}This feature is experimental at this point which means you shouldn't use it in production at this stage. However we need the maximum number of feedback on this new feature in order to finalize it and to make it reach the production-ready status which we'd like to reach in 3.4 or 3.5.{{/info}} | ||

| 31 | [[image:em.png||class="screenshot"]] | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | == Link Checker == | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | It's now possible to [[check the statuses of all external links found in your wiki>>extensions:Extension.Link Checker Application]]. | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | [[image:externallinks.png||class="screenshot"]] | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | == FAQ Application == | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | A [[new FAQ application>>extensions:Extension.FAQ Application]] is now made available (but not bundled by default in XWiki Enterprise): | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | [[image:extensions:Extension.FAQ Application@faq.png||class="screenshot"]] | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | == Better support for exporting CJK documents as PDF == | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | 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. | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | [[image:cjk.png||class="screenshot"]] | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | == LDAP user membership improvements == | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | 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. | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | == Attachments improvements == | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | 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. | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | Several bugs with downloading attachments when the filesystem storage is enabled have also been fixed, making this feature ready for production use. | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | == Debian packages == | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | Starting with 3.3 Milestone 1 Debian packages and repositories are released. | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | You can add one of the following list files to ##/etc/debian/apt/source.list.d/##: | ||

| 133 | |||
| 134 | {{warning}} | ||
| 135 | 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,...//. | ||
| 136 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 137 | |||
| 138 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above. | ||
| 139 | |||
| 140 | {{warning}} | ||
| 141 | Always make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg## and ##xwiki.properties## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Note that 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. | ||
