For Developers

Script services for Application Manager and Wiki Manager

There are script services now available for the old application and wiki manager plugins. You can access them via $services.applicationmanager and $services.wikimanager, and call all the methods previously exposed by their respective plugin APIs. For the moment the plugins are still there, with the script services just bridging them to the new prefered way of accessing APIs from Velocity scripts.

Upgrades

The following dependencies have been upgraded:

  • CSS4J 0.13
  • Groovy 1.8.3
  • JGroups 2.12.2
  • reflections 0.9.6
  • SLF4J 1.6.3

Miscellaneous

  • Make it simple to add Icon Transformation mappings when using the Rendering in standalone mode
  • Add support for being able to override components more than once TODO: Document it and linke to the documentation
  • Bundle the Icon and WikiWord Transformations in the Rendering Standalone JAR
  • Comments Macro is not bundled in the Rendering Standalone JAR
  • Allow setting time to live and max entries when using the Cache macro
  • IRC Bot application improvements
  • Move to JBoss Infinispan as default cache implementation
  • Application Manager and Wiki Manager plugins now expose a ScriptService and don't need to be added as plugin in xwiki.cfg file anymore. You can access they using $services.applicationmanager and $services.wikimanager.

Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes

General Notes

Warning

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,....

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

Warning

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.
