| 13 | == Tour for Homepage == | ||

| 18 | |||
| 19 | == CKEditor Becomes the Default WYSIWYG Editor == | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Starting with this version we have a new WYSIWYG editor: the [[CKEditor>>extensions:Extension.CKEditor Integration]]. The integration with CKEditor was already available as an extension and now this extension is bundled with the standard XWiki distribution. The old WYSIWYG editor is still available and if you want to switch back to it you can do it from the "Edit Mode Settings" section in the wiki administration. | ||

| 28 | * In the TemplateProviderClass, 2 new properties have been added: //description// and //icon//, in order to display additional information in template providers list.((( | ||
