XWiki Enterprise 2.5 Milestone 1

Version 8.1 by Sorin Burjan on 2010/09/07

First milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 2.5 version (Roadmap).

The highlights of this release are:

New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 2.4)

Added mechanism for inserting custom links in the header

 This allows to:

  • custom navigational links (unversal edit, paged navigation, index, author...)
  • custom RSS feed links
  • custom metadata links (DOAP, FOAF, generic RDF...)

Introduced cancelable events

  • cancel document saving
  • cancel script execution for: security reasons (e.g. nested scripts) and errors in initialization

Removed deprecated flickr plugin

  • removed the old flickr plugin because it was outdated and the API was broken.
     We will have a new one, re-written, in the future.

Fixed issue with Google search

  • Google search results didn't always point to canonical view of pages.

Keep the content menu visible when scrolling down

  • When scrolling down on a document, the content menu will follow, so the user will not have to scroll up on top of the page in order to access it.
