XWiki Roadmap Archives for the 10.x Release Cycle
Version 7.1 by Alex Cotiugă on 2018/08/07
XWiki 10.6
- Thomas: continue work on performance (started in 10.4)
- Thomas: Bug fixes (ongoing)
- Guillaume: Notifications bugfixes
- Marius/Adel: For macros having wiki markup content (need new macro descriptor metadata), let the user enter it in the WYSIWYG directly. When hovering over the macro allow editing content + have some icons to edit parameters (similar to the CKEditor easy image feature: https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/issues/932 They call it a "balloon toolbar"). Related: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/MacrosOptions
- Marius/Adel: Move Menus inside administration (see http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/IdeaMenuInAdministration)

XWiki 10.5
- Thomas: continue work on performance (started in 10.4)
- Thomas: Fix inconsistence of WebHome appearing everywhere when using references in macros and API calls. Finish Nested Spaces/Pages work. Page API.
- Guillaume: Notifications bugfixes
- Marius/Adel: Autocomplete on reference. Note: This would lessen the issue with WebHome.
- Example 1: In object editor when the type is "Page Reference" + picker
- Example 2: In WYSIWYG macro editor when a macro has a reference parameter + picker, see locations
- Example 3: Database list (class reference input field) (especially important for AWM apps)
- Marius/Adel: Finish Visible Save implementation, see XWIKI-14162
Dates
- 10.5RC1: 11th of June 2018
Note: we're giving a few less days so that we have enough time for 10.6 before the XWiki SAS yearly seminar
- 10.5Final:
18th of June 201819th of June 2018
XWiki 10.4
Thomas: Finish work for edit protection from 10.3. Specifically ability to prevent editing/moving/deleting extension pages when a confi param is set for that.
- Thomas: Register global wiki macro at wiki level when the macro document is in a subwiki
- Thomas: Performance work. Goal: be as good as XWiki 8.4.x. Fix performance issue in XWiki 10.x/Investigate problems with notifications. See for ex https://forum.xwiki.org/t/xwiki-and-tomcat-crashes/2788 but several users have reported issues so there's definitely something really bad happening.
- Guillaume: Finish AS replacement + continue fixing Notifications problems
- Marius: Improve Navigation panel. Introduce notion of blacklist for the Navigation panel and provide an Admin UI for it. Goal: remove the XWiki space by default using this blacklist (users can be seen in the User Index). Allow users to control better what they have in the panel + control the order. Others: try to improve performance.
- Adel: Evaluate and implement weblate for XWiki (replacement for l10n). Note: weblate is moving fast: https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/changes.html
