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.
