13 == Distribution Wizard improvements ==
14
15 The upgrade mode has been removed, instead both modes are kind of enabled: it's always proposed to upgrade subwikis from main wiki and the Distribution Wizard is also always enabled on sub-wikis and displayed only if there is something to do.

17 == Miscellaneous ==

19 <insert misc user stuff and important bug fix descriptions here in a list, when they are too small to warrant a section by themselves - Change the version in the URL below!>

39 == Miscellaneous ==
40
41 * We added a new parameter to the [[Live Table Velocity macro>>extensions:Extension.Livetable Macro]] named 'selectedTags' which controls the list of tags that are selected initially in the tag cloud. You can still select different tags after the live table loads. With this new parameter you can have a permanent link to a live table that has the rows filtered initially by some tags:(((
42 {{code language="none"}}
43 ## /xwiki/bin/view/Demo/WebHome?tag=news&tag=science
44 #set ($options = {
45 'className': 'Demo.DemoClass',
46 ...
47 'tagCloud': true,
48 'selectedTags': $request.getParameterValues('tag'),
49 ...
50 })
51 {{/code}}
52 )))
53 * The module {{code}}xwiki-platform-wiki-rest{{/code}} replaces the old module {{code}}xwiki-platform-wiki-manager-rest{{/code}} in order to move {{code}}xwiki-platform-wiki-manager{{/code}} in {{code}}contrib{{/code}}, but the API is unchanged.
54 * Verbosity of the job is now configurable right from the ##org.xwiki.job.Request## object
55 * Log generator now generates BeginEvent/EndEvent variants based on marker informations
56 * The following ##java.lang.Class## methods are now allowed in Velocity by default: ##name, isArray, isAssignableFrom, isEnum, isInstance, isInterface, isLocalClass, isMemberClass, isPrimitive, isSynthetic##
57 * Default job status does not provide log tree anymore. Was making the API too complex. It can be created from the log queue very easily in Java and a helper method has been added in logging ScriptService to create one: {{code language="velocity"}}$services.logging.toLogTree($logs){{/code}}

79 When upgrading make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg##, ##xwiki.properties## and ##web.xml## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or 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.
