| 8 | This is the secondd and last milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 4.0 version ([[Roadmap>>Main.Roadmap]]). | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 4.0 Milestone 2 version) = | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | == Extension Manager improvements == | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | {{todo/}} | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | == User profile customization == | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | {{todo/}} | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | == Annotations merged with Comments by default == | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | Starting with version 4.0M2, annotations have been merged by default with comments. More specifically, this means: | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | * You can now reply to an annotation (threaded annotations) | ||
| 25 | * The Annotations tab is now replaced by the Comments tab where you can see both annotations and comments | ||
| 26 | * The default annotation class is now XWiki.XWikiComments instead of AnnotationCode.AnnotationClass | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | == New Velocity tool to serialize Java objects to JSON format == | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | {{todo/}} | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | == ColorThemes gradients customizable from ColorTheme Wizard == | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | In version [[3.4>>xwiki:ReleaseNotes.ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise34]] we deprecated the old default bundled ColorThemes (because of incompatible variable mix). In version 4.0 this is no longer the case, old default bundled ColorThemes (like [[Bordo>>extensions:Extension.Bordo ColorTheme]], [[Nature>>extensions:Extension.Nature ColorTheme]], etc.) are now being compatible with the 3.4 Colibri Skin changes. We fixed this by adding new gradient ColorThemes variables. All these gradient ColorTheme variables are now changeble from the ColorTheme Wizard. | ||

| 74 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | == General Notes == | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | {{info}} | ||
| 79 | If you're running in a multiwiki setup you'll also need to define the property //xwiki.store.migration.databases// in your //xwiki.cfg// file if you want to explicitly name some databases to be migrated as the default is now to migrate all databases. Database that are not migrated could not be accessed. | ||
| 80 | {{/info}} | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above. | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | {{warning}} | ||
| 85 | 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. | ||
| 86 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | == Annotations Application == | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | If you were/are using a custom annotations class, other than the previously default AnnotationsCode.AnnotationsClass, in the annotations configuration then the merging-with-comments feature will not be available to you. What you can do is to enable back the Annotations tab by going to the Administration > Look and Feel > Page Elements and changing the value of "Show document annotations " from "No" to "Yes". Now you will still be able to use your custom annotations without being affected by the changes. | ||
| 91 | |||
| 92 | Also, a migration script will automatically convert all your existing default annotations (that are using the default AnnotationCode.AnnotationClass) to the new default class (XWiki.XWikiComments). After the migration, the new database version will be 40001. | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | The following APIs were modified since version 3.5: | ||
| 97 | |||

| 100 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 101 | {{/code}} |
