| 5 | This is the first and hopefully last release candidate for XWiki Enterprise 4.0 version ([[Roadmap>>Main.Roadmap]]). This is mostly a polishing release before the final one. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 4.0 Milestone 2 version) = | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | == Extension Manager improvements == | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | The install/uninstall plan and log are now displayed in a tab inside the details section of an extension. We plan to make the new Progress tab display the install/uninstall status in real time in the near future. | ||
| 12 | |||

| 14 | |||
| 15 | == New technical content hiding system == | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | The basic support for hidden documents introduced in XWiki Enterprise 1.7 has been extended into a fully usable feature. For advanced users, it is now possible to specify that a document should be hidden when editing the document (only //wiki// or //wysiwyg// edit modes): | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | {{image reference="hidden.png"/}} | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | And now there's a new setting in the user profiles, letting users chose if they want hidden documents to appear in search results or not: | ||
| 22 | |||

| 24 | |||
| 25 | == For developers == | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | === Changes in the ComponentManager API == | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | The new ##lookupComponent## method has been renamed to ##getInstance##. New ##getInstanceList## and ##getInstanceMap## has also been introduced to replace ##lookupList## and ##lookupMap##. | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 32 | |||

| 59 | {{warning}} | ||
| 60 | As usual, before upgrading to this version, be sure to have a working backup of your database(s). | ||
| 61 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | == General Notes == | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | {{info}} | ||
| 66 | 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. | ||
| 67 | {{/info}} | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above. | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | {{warning}} | ||
| 72 | 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. | ||
| 73 | {{/warning}} | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | == API Breakages == | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | The following APIs were modified since version 3.5: | ||
