Version 5.1 by Thomas Mortagne on 2020/05/26

XWiki 12.4

  • Visual diff improvements - Marius
  • The cursor should have the same position in both wysiwyg and source - Marius
  • Postpone Object Creation/Deletion Until Document Is Saved - Simon
  • Finish notifications refactoring for improved performance (nosql-based store) and verify that the perfs are very good - Thomas
    • Notifications scalability (to 1000000 users and 100000000 docs and 1000TB)
  • Prepare the new LT architecture (realtime editable LT) - Marius
  • Start work on the realtime editable LT - Clement D + Marius
  • Start work on mentions (investigation/gathering requirements + design + create jiras + start implementing some jiras) - Manuel
  • Finish work on atomic rename operation - Simon
  • Add support for extension without a file (i.e. dependencies of type "pom") (for FASTEN) - Thomas

Dates

  • 12.4RC1: 18th of May 2020 accept
  • 12.4Final: 25th26th of May 2020 accept

XWiki 12.3

  • Marius: Finish integration of inline editing for WYWIWYG and make it available
  • Marius: Takeover RtWysiwyg contrib extension, clean it up, make sure it works with the latest version of CKEditor integration, and integrate as much as we can (i.e. the real-time edit infrastructure) in commons/platform. Use the result for adding real-time to the in-place WYSIWYG edit mode.
  • Thomas: New Solr-based notification storage
  • Simon + Manuel: Finish ActivityPub integration: work on UC3 (follow an entire wiki and display content from another wiki), validate interaction with another AP service (mastodon or nextcloud), better integrate AP in xwiki in terms of UI/UX.

Dates

  • 12.3RC1: 20th of April 2020 22nd of April 2020
  • 12.3Final: 27th of April 2020 29th of April 2020

XWiki 12.2

  • Visual diff improvements - Marius
  • Notification re-architecture for scalability/performance. New nosql storage oriented API and (most probably Solr based) default implementation for events and user notifications - Thomas
  • Activity Pub - Part 2 of 3 (targeting for 3 releases = 3 months) - Simon  + Manuel
  • Continue work for inline editing/Realtime - Marius
    • Now that we have a first design page, discuss and agree about the work to do. Create various JIRAs for it.
    • If there's agreement and if time permit, start implementing some of the JIRAs. Possible options FTM:
      • inline editing for WYSIWYG edit mode
      • inline editing for Inline form edit mode
  • FASTEN-related work: the XWiki Extension dependencies resolution needs be as close as possible to the standard Maven dependencies resolution and an important miss right now is the <excludes> support. Add support for it. - Thomas
  • New User API - Vincent (wasn't planned originally)

  • 12.2RC1: 23rd of March 2020 (adding one more week because we can but we need to be careful to not delay the release) Skipped since we were not able to release on time emoticon_unhappy
