| 7 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 4.2 Milestone 2) = | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | == Improved upload UI == | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | The new HTML5 FileUploader has been integrated in a few places: | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | * The standard attachment upload form | ||
| 14 | * The Import section of the Administration | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | See [[below>>||anchor="HNewHTML5FileUploadwidget"]] for more details about this feature. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | == New logging administration UI == | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | It's now possible to review and modify the log level for all registered loggers. | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | {{image reference="extensions:Extension.Logging Application@loggingadmin.png"/}} | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | == IRC Bot Application Improvements == | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | The [[IRC Bot Application>>extensions:Extension.IRC Bot Application]] now recognizes XAR import events and when receiving one, it doesn't send subsequent IRC notifications for modified or created documents to avoid spamming the IRC channel. | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | == New Content Macro == | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | The [[new Content macro>>extensions:Extension.Content Macro]] allows to enter content in any of the supported Syntaxes and thus allows to have content written in various syntaxes. For example: | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | {{code}} | ||
| 33 | This is in **bold** | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | {{content syntax="confluence/1.0"}} | ||
| 36 | This is *bold* too! | ||
| 37 | {{/content}} | ||
| 38 | {{/code}} | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | = For Developers = | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | == New HTML5 File Upload widget == | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | The [[File Upload widget>>doc:platform:DevGuide.HTML5Upload]] can enhance HTML input elements of type file to provide an interactive upload UI. It can submit files either automatically when the user selects local files, or after the user presses the container form's submit button. | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | To use this widget, it is enough to create a new instance of ##XWiki.FileUploader## passing the target ##input## element as the first parameter, and an optional configuration object as the second parameter. | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | {{code language="javascript"}} | ||
| 49 | new XWiki.FileUploader(targetInput, { | ||
| 50 | autoUpload: true, | ||
| 51 | progressAutohide: true | ||
| 52 | }); | ||
| 53 | {{/code}} | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | [[image:platform:DevGuide.HTML5Upload@html5uploads.png||class="screenshot"]] | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | == JSRX and SSRX == | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | It's now possible by default to add [[skin extensions>>extensions:Extension.Skin Extension Plugin]] located in JAR files. Example usage: | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | {{code}} | ||
| 62 | $xwiki.jsrx("/lib/codemirror.js") | ||
| 63 | $xwiki.ssrx("/lib/codemirror.css") | ||
| 64 | {{/code}} | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | == Documents Macro improvements == | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | The ##~{{documents}}## macro [[now supports specifying the list of columns to display>>extensions:Extension.Documents Macro]]. For example: | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | {{code}} | ||
| 71 | {{documents count="5" actions="false" space="Main" parent="Main.WebHome" columns="doc.title"/}} | ||
| 72 | {{/code}} | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | would display: | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | {{image reference="documents-columns.png"/}} | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | == Attachment Picker improvements == | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | It is now possible to specify a different document for the source (and target in case of uploads) of attachments, using the new ##targetdocname## macro parameter. | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | == Search improvements == | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | The Lucene index also stores the MIME type of the indexed attachments, allowing to customize the search to only include or exclude attachments of a certain type. The new field is named [[##mimetype##>>doc:extensions:Extension.Search Application Query Syntax||anchor="Hmimetype"]] and it contains a valid MIME type string, as returned by the container in which XWiki is running. For example, add ##-mimetype:image/*## to a query to exclude all image attachments from the results, or add ##mimetype:application/pdf## to only search inside PDF attachments. | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | Remember that in case of an upgrade, you have to rebuild the entire index to have this new field for existing documents. | ||
| 87 | |||
