5 This is the release notes for XWiki Platform, XWiki Enterprise and XWiki Enterprise Manager. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version.
6
7 This is the second and last milestone of the XWiki 4.3 version ([[Roadmap>>xwiki:Main.Roadmap]]). This release brings a new and experimental Solr Search engine, new default date, user and group pickers, a new localization module allowing applications to register translations, REST API additions and various other improvements.
8
9 = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 4.3 Milestone 1) =
10
11 == Experimental Solr based search engine ==
12
13 A new and experimental search engine based on [[Apache Solr>>http://lucene.apache.org/solr/]] is now available.
14
15 The new search UI offers advanced search features and results highlighting. Future versions will also include [[Faceted Search>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_search]].
16
17 {{image reference="solrSearchFilters.png"/}}
18
19 The new engine has it's own index, separate from the Lucene one, which is stored by default in the ##<permanent directory>/solr## folder. In the same folder you can also access Solr's configuration files together with the index's schema.xml which you can tweak to achieve better results. To change this folder's location, you can either pass the ##-Dsolr.solr.home## system property when you start the application container (tomcat/jetty/etc.) or you can set the ##search.solr.home## property in ##WEB-INF/xwiki.preferences##.
20
21 For now, indexing is done only __manually__ by using the Search Administration UI. Because of this, in order to get any search results, you have to go to ##Administration > Applications > Search## and index/reindex the wiki. Any changes in the content of the wiki will not be searchable until you manually reindex. This limitation will be removed in future versions, once the feature matures.
22
23 {{image reference="solrSearchAdmin.png"/}}
24
25 This new search engine is not enable by default, since Lucene is still the default one, but, if you wish to try it out, it can be enable by going to ##Administration > Applications > Search > Search engine to use## and selecting ##Solr (Experimental)##.
26
27 == Default date picker ==
28
29 The date picker from [[AppWithinMinutes>>extensions:Extension.App Within Minutes Application]] is now the default picker for all [[XClass>>platform:DevGuide.DataModel]] properties of type Date. This means that you'll get a date picker when editing an object with a Date property even if you didn't use AppWithinMinutes to create the XClass.
30
31 {{image reference="DatePicker.png"/}}
32
33 If for some reason you don't want to use the new date picker then you can edit the XClass and uncheck "Use Date Picker" for the Date property.
34
35 == User and Group picker ==
36
37 We added a user and group picker that is used by default for all [[XClass>>platform:DevGuide.DataModel]] properties of type "List of Users" and "List of Groups". When multiple selection is enabled, each selected user is added to the list above the picker. You can remove individual users from the list of selected users or you can clear the entire list.
38
39 {{image reference="userPicker-editMultiple.png"/}}
40
41 In single selection mode whenever you select an user it overwrites the previously selected user.
42
43 {{image reference="userPicker-editSingle-objectEditor.png"/}}
44
45 The list of selected users is displayed in view mode in a similar way. For each user there is a link to their profile page.
46
47 {{image reference="userPicker-viewMultiple.png"/}}
48
49 The group picker behaves in the same way. The group alias is the name of the group document, the group name is the title of the group document while the group avatar is the first image attached to the group document.
50
51 {{image reference="groupPicker-editMultiple.png"/}}
52
53 The user and group picker can be configured to display a scope toggle that can be used to switch between local and global user/group suggestions.
54
55 {{image reference="userPicker-scope.png"/}}
56
57 You can check this if you edit a group from a subwiki (in a multiwiki environment).
58
59 {{image reference="groupSheet-edit.png"/}}
60
61 == Miscellaneous ==
62
63 * Search Admin UI improvements ({{jira style="enum" url="http://jira.xwiki.org"}}XWIKI-8408{{/jira}}):(((
64 {{image reference="searchAdminUINew.png"/}}
65 )))
66 * Automatically register translations for the FAQ and IRCBot applications

69
70 = For Developers =
71
72 == New Localization Module ==
73
74 A new localization module has been introduced to replace the old XWikiMessageTool.
75
76 See [[extensions:Extension.Localization Module]] for more details.
77
78 == REST API Improvements ==
79
80 Some improvements have been done to the REST API with respect to wiki management.
81
82 * XARs can be imported in Wikis by POSTing it to the /wikis/{wikiName}
83 * New wikis can be created using the /wikimanager resource. (This resource is only available with XWiki Enterprise Manager)
84
85 For more information see [[XWiki RESTful API>>platform:Features.XWikiRESTfulAPI]]
86
87 In addition there was an XWiki REST API refactoring done with the introduction of a new ##xwiki-platform-rest-api## module containing all resource declarations. This is important for client and modules willing to use the REST API so that they can have all the information about resources using Java annotation. See [[XWiki RESTful API>>platform:Features.XWikiRESTfulAPI]].
88
89 == Execution context property declarations ==
90
91 Execution context properties can now be associated with various metadata attributes. See [[the documentation on the execution context>>doc:platform:DevGuide.SavingData||anchor="HExecutionContext"]] for more information.
92
93 == New Scope property for wiki components and UI extensions ==
94
95 A scope can now be defined for [[wiki components>>extensions:Extension.WikiComponent Module]] and [[UI extensions>>extensions:Extension.UIExtension Module]], it allows to restrict for which wiki(s) or which user they will be available:
96
97 * Current Wiki, the component/UI extension will be available in the current wiki
98 * Global, the component/UI extension will be available in all the wikis (wiki farms)
99 * Current User, the component/UI extension will only be available for its author
100
101 == Upgrades ==

116
117 == Miscellaneous ==
118
119 * Fixed a bug about incorrect results in multi-wiki lucene search in the REST API.
120 * Add a ##java.util.Locale## converter which allow:
121 ** using Locale in rendering macro parameter(s)
122 ** support Java method with Locale parameter(s) in Velocity. See [[Method Arguments Uberspector>>extensions:Extension.Velocity Module||anchor="HMethodArgumentsUberspector"]] for more details.
123 * Various String language based API of ##com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki## and ##com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument## classes are now deprecated for their newly introduced ##java.util.Locale## equivalents.
124
125 = Translations =
126
127 The following translations have been updated:
128
129 {{language codes="da, de, fr"/}}
130
131 = Known issues =
132
133 * [[Bugs we know about>>http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=category+%3D+%22Top+Level+Projects%22+AND+issuetype+%3D+Bug+AND+resolution+%3D+Unresolved+ORDER+BY+updated+DESC]]
134
135 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
136
137 == General Notes ==
138
139 You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from all the improvements listed above.
140
141 {{warning}}
142 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.
143 {{/warning}}
144
145 == Issues specific to XWiki 4.3 Milestone 2 ==
146
147 * The methods setUrlPatternMatcher and getUrlPatternMatcher have been removed from the core class com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki. The underlying URLPatternMatcher could not really be used as a singleton instance and was causing irregular failures in the basic authentication method. Thus these methods cannot be meaningfully relied upon and have therefore been removed.
148 * When setting the value using setValue (or setList) on a list field in an XWiki object, the list will now be copied. To be able to update the list, you must call getValue (or getList) and update the returned list. This is due to {{jira style="enum" url="http://jira.xwiki.org"}}XWIKI-8398{{/jira}}.
149
150 == API Breakages ==
151
152 The following APIs were modified since 4.2:

180
181 * This should be fixed: a new 'sendMessageFromTemplate' method was added before the 4.2 release and then removed only from master (4.3-SNAPSHOT). We need to decide what we do with this method.(((
182 {{code language="none"}}
183 com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.mailsender.MailSender: Method 'public int sendMessageFromTemplate(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.util.Map)' has been removed
