| 9 | This is the second milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 4.1 version ([[Roadmap>>Main.Roadmap]]). | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 4.1 version) = | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | == Custom Chart Colors == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | It's now possible to select [[custom colors in Chart graphs>>extensions:Extension.Chart Macro]]. For example: | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | {{code}} | ||
| 18 | {{chart type="pie" source="inline" params="range:B2-D5;series:columns;colors:C3E3F7,1D9FF5,015891,012A45" title="Chart Test" width="320" height="240"}} | ||

| 30 | |||
| 31 | == Hide Technical Documents == | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | * In the activity stream, events (such as edit or delete) triggered by hidden documents does not appear unless the user chose to "display hidden documents" in his user preferences. | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | == Extension Manager improvements == | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | Other minor improvements include: | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | * Mark 'Show Details', 'Hide Details' and 'Back to list' buttons as secondary buttons | ||
| 40 | * Display an "upgrade" button instead of an "install" one when an extension is already installed | ||
| 41 | * Better messages for empty search results | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | See the [[Extension Manager Application documentation>>doc:extensions:Extension.Extension Manager Application]] for more details. | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | == For developers == | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | * There's a [[new Script Service allowing to access the Component Manager directly from scripts>>platform:DevGuide.Scripting||anchor="HXWikiComponentAccess"]]. For example:((( | ||
| 48 | {{code}} | ||
| 49 | {{groovy}} | ||
| 50 | def myComponent = services.component.getInstance(MyComponentRole.class) | ||
| 51 | {{/groovy}} | ||
| 52 | {{/code}} | ||
| 53 | ))) | ||
| 54 | * We added a [[new Velocity uberspector that tries to convert method arguments>>doc:extensions:Extension.Velocity Module||anchor="HMethodArgumentsUberspector"]] to formal parameter types when the passed arguments don't match the method signature. For example:((( | ||
| 55 | {{code}} | ||
| 56 | $obj.someMethod('VALUE') | ||
| 57 | // will forward to | ||
| 58 | obj.someMethod(SomeEnum.VALUE) | ||
| 59 | // if obj has a method with signature someMethod(SomeEnum) and not someMethod(String) | ||
| 60 | {{/code}} | ||
| 61 | )))But this is not limited to enums. The conversion is done using the [[Properties Module>>doc:extensions:Extension.Properties Module]] which means you can create and register custom converters for data types specific to your application domain. | ||

| 89 | = General Notes = | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | {{info}} | ||
| 92 | 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. | ||
| 93 | {{/info}} | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above. | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | {{warning}} | ||
| 98 | 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. | ||
