| 7 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 3.3 Milestone 1) = | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | == Link Checker == | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | It's now possible to [[check the statuses of all external links found in your wiki>>extensions:Extension.Link Checker Application]]. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | [[image:externallinks.png||class="screenshot"]] | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | == FAQ Application == | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | A [[new FAQ application>>extensions:Extension.FAQ Application]] is now made available (but not bundled by default in XWiki Enterprise): | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | [[image:extensions:Extension.FAQ Application@faq.png||class="screenshot"]] | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | == Better support for exporting CJK documents as PDF == | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | 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. | ||
| 24 | |||

| 26 | |||
| 27 | = For Developers = | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | == JSR330 Provider Support == | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | XWiki now [[supports JSR330 Providers>>extensions:Extension.Component Module#HRegisteringandUsingaProvider]]. | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | They are useful for the following use cases: | ||
| 34 | * You wish to break a cyclic dependency | ||
| 35 | * You wish to lazily get a component instance (instead of it getting injected when your Component is looked up the first time) | ||
| 36 | * You wish to control how you return the instance you're providing for. For example you may wish to read the Component Hint from a configuration file and return the instance of the Component matching that Hint dynamically | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | == Upgrades == | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | The following dependencies have been upgraded: | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | * commons-lang 3.1 | ||
| 43 | * Groovy 1.8.4 | ||
| 44 | * LogBack 1.0 | ||

| 50 | |||
| 51 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | * The Dashboard feature which was part of several applications (XWiki Enterprise Application and Administration Application) has been extracted into in a separate [[Dashboard Application>>extensions:Extension.Dashboard Application]]. There's now a new ##Dashboard## space which is visible in the list of spaces on the XE home page. | ||

| 90 | |||
| 91 | {{warning}} | ||
| 92 | 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,...//. | ||
| 93 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above. | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | {{warning}} | ||
| 98 | 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. | ||
