1: {{box cssClass="floatinginfobox" title="**Contents**"}} 2: {{toc/}} 3: {{/box}} 4: 5: This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Enterprise>>http://enterprise.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. 6: 7: This is our last stabilization branch for the XWiki 7.x Cycle. It brings polishing and stabilization for the Nested Pages feature and the changes in UI that resulted from it. 8: 9: = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 7.4 Milestone 2) = 10: 11: [[Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 7.4>>https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=13590]]. 12: 13: == Changes in the UI == 14: 15: * The default logo is now optimized for "Retina" screens, and can be scaled to any dimensions since it's a vectorial image. 16: * The Information tab, at the bottom of each page, does not display the parent and the children of the current page anymore. Since this information is available both in the breadcrumb and in the children viewer, they were redundant and have been removed.((( 17: {{image reference="InformationsTab.png"/}} 18: ))) 19: * The search and the notification icons have been inverted. The new order looks more natural when the search bar is expanded.((( 20: {{image reference="NotificationsAndSearch.png"/}} {{image reference="SearchExtended.png"/}} 21: ))) 22: * To be more intuitive, the titles of the Rights sections in the page administration have been changed.((( 23: {{image reference="RightsAdmin.png"/}} 24: ))) 25: 26: See the [[full list of JIRA issues>>https://jira.xwiki.org/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-printable/temp/SearchRequest.html?jqlQuery=project+in+%28XCOMMONS%2C+XRENDERING%2C+XWIKI%2C+XE%29+and+status+%3D+Closed+and+resolution+%3D+Fixed+and+fixVersion+%3D+%227.4-rc-1%22&tempMax=1000]] fixed in this release. 27: 28: = For Developers = 29: 30: == Miscellaneous == 31: 32: * The top level Commons POM now performs some checks on the POMs that have it as parent; for example it checks that non core POMs don't use the "XWiki Development Team" in the developers section so that non-core Extensions deployed on extensions.xwiki.org don't appear as developed by the XWiki Development Team. 33: * You can now disable the default [[Live Table>>extensions:Extension.Livetable Macro]] query filters by passing the empty string as the value of the ##queryFilters## parameter. 34: 35: = Translations = 36: 37: The following translations have been updated: 38: 39: {{language codes="none, none"/}} 40: 41: = Tested Browsers & Databases = 42: 43: {{include reference="TestReports.ManualTestReportSummaryXWiki74RC1"/}} 44: 45: = Known issues = 46: 47: * [[Bugs we know about>>https://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]] 48: 49: = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = 50: 51: == General Notes == 52: 53: 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. 54: 55: == Issues specific to XWiki 7.4-rc-1 == 56: 57: None 58: 59: == API Breakages == 60: 61: The following APIs were modified since XWiki 7.3: 62: 63: * was wrongly extending internal class: 64: 65: {{code language="none"}} 66: org.xwiki.extension.job.history.ReplayJobStatus: Removed org.xwiki.job.internal.AbstractJobStatus from the list of superclasses 67: org.xwiki.extension.job.history.ReplayJobStatus: Removed org.xwiki.job.internal.DefaultJobStatus from the list of superclasses 68: org.xwiki.extension.xar.job.diff.DiffXarJobStatus: Removed org.xwiki.job.internal.AbstractJobStatus from the list of superclasses 69: org.xwiki.extension.xar.job.diff.DiffXarJobStatus: Removed org.xwiki.job.internal.DefaultJobStatus from the list of superclasses 70: org.xwiki.refactoring.job.EntityJobStatus: Removed org.xwiki.job.internal.AbstractJobStatus from the list of superclasses 71: org.xwiki.refactoring.job.EntityJobStatus: Removed org.xwiki.job.internal.DefaultJobStatus from the list of superclasses 72: {{/code}} 73: 74: * impossible to implement it without dependeing on XMLRPC module: 75: 76: {{code language="none"}} 77: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext: Method 'public org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServer ajc$get$xmlRpcServer(com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext)' has been removed 78: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext: Method 'public void ajc$set$xmlRpcServer(com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext, org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServer)' has been removed 79: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext: Method 'public org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServer getXMLRPCServer()' has been removed 80: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext: Method 'public void setXMLRPCServer(org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServer)' has been removed 81: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect: Method 'public org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServer ajc$interFieldGetDispatch$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContext$xmlRpcServer(com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext)' has been removed 82: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect: Method 'public void ajc$interFieldInit$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContext$xmlRpcServer(com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext)' has been removed 83: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect: Method 'public void ajc$interFieldSetDispatch$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContext$xmlRpcServer(com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext, org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServer)' has been removed 84: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect: Method 'public org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServer ajc$interMethod$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContext$getXMLRPCServer(com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext)' has been removed 85: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect: Method 'public void ajc$interMethod$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContext$setXMLRPCServer(com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext, org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServer)' has been removed 86: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect: Method 'public org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServer ajc$interMethodDispatch1$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContext$getXMLRPCServer(com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext)' has been removed 87: com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect: Method 'public void ajc$interMethodDispatch1$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContextCompatibilityAspect$com_xpn_xwiki_XWikiContext$setXMLRPCServer(com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiContext, org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServer)' has been removed 88: {{/code}}
