Release Notes for XWiki Enterprise 3.4 Release Candidate 1
The first release candidate of the 3.4 version brings a few bug fixes and improvements over the previous version.
New and Noteworthy (since 3.4 Milestone 1)
Checkout the full unabridged list of issues fixed in this release.
UI to import and synchronize external extensions in the repository
It's now possible to easily import an extension from any repository into XWiki Repository.
A common use case is the need to make a maven extension available to the search with a complete documentation since search is not supported in plain maven repositories and it's hard to add a nice documentation in maven pom.xml since there is no real place for it (just a summary).
XWiki Repository then act as a proxy for the actual extension file.
New ColorThemes added
We have 3 new colorthemes: Mint, Ruby and Dusk.
These new themes deprecate the old ones, which are removed from our default distribution. The deprecated themes are still available at extensions.xwiki.org:
Default http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Default33+ColorTheme
Bordo http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Bordo+ColorTheme
Nature http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Nature+ColorTheme
BlueSky http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/BlueSky+ColorTheme
