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.

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.
