| 5 | Second milestone of the 4.2 release. | ||

| 7 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 4.2 Milestone 1) = | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | == New field types for email and list of pages == | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | == Improved display of users and groups fields == | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | = For Developers = | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | == Default custom displayers for Easier customization of the way object fields are displayed == | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | While XWiki allowed to specify a custom display for a given field, it was impossible to change the way field types, such as //DateProperty// or //IntegerProperty//, are displayed in general. Now it is possible to define custom displayers at the farm or wiki level, which gives the administrators more power to change the look and feel of the wiki. For example, this allows to use HTML5 input types for dates and numbers, to use custom suggestions for //list of users// fields, or to always add a validation input for all the //password// field types. | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | To use this feature, first you need to compute a //type// name for your property type. This is obtained from the java class simple name, removing the ##Class## suffix, and lowercasing. For example, for numbers the java class used is ##com.xpn.xwiki.objects.classes.NumberClass##, with the simple name ##NumberClass##, which gives ##number## as the type name. For a database list, we get ##dblist## from ##DBListClass##. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Next, there are three places where a default custom displayer. | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | If a specific field provides custom display code in the XClass, then that code takes priority over the | ||
