Release Notes for XWiki Enterprise 3.3 Release Candidate 1
Version 1.5 by Vincent Massol on 2011/12/08
Contents
First release candidate of the 3.3 version. There are very few new things in this release, compared to 3.3 Milestone 2, most of the effort going into the extension manager and the Application Within Minutes features.
New and Noteworthy (since 3.3 Milestone 2)
Improvements to the Extension Manager
The Extension Manager has been improved on all fronts, from the internal management of extensions, to the administration UI, and to the XWiki Extension Repository. Now the extensions wiki is enabled by default as a source for extensions, although only a handful of extensions have been validated at the moment.
First version of the Application Within Minutes general wizard
After the introduction of the new class editor and the livetable generator, 3.3 RC 1 sees the introduction of the general wizard tying all the other aspects making up the Application Within Minutes feature.
For Developers
Miscellaneous
- XE-1055: Several bugs fixed in the Activity Stream, mostly caused by wrong usage of timezones
- XWIKI-7215: The Livetable "loading" status is enabled sooner, right after starting to type a new filter, although the actual fetching of new rows is still delayed until the user stops typing
- XEM-204: By default path-based multiwiki is enabled in XEM, making it easier to test and run a virtual wiki farm
