In February 2012 we launched a Survey to gather information from the XWiki Community about you would like to see implemented in the XWiki 4.x development cycle. Note that we had a similar exercise in 2009 and we had posted the results.

This survey had 2 purposes:

• Find out the main Development Themes for XWiki 4.x.
• Have a pioritized feature list that we could pick for when we decide each specific roadmap for the 4.x releases (4.0, 4.1, etc).

The most voted themes were:

• Theme 1: Ease of use
• Theme 2: Quality

Jointly with us, the XWiki SAS company also did the same exercise asking the same questions to its customers. They have published the full results which aggregate both Community votes and Customers votes. You can also check out the Raw CSV Data.

We'd like to thank everyone who took the time to answer and thus who've helped drive the direction of XWiki!

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 4.0 Milestone 2.  This version mainly introduces various ways of customizing users directory and profiles and it also bring all comments features to annotation (answer, threaded annotation, etc.) by merging the two concepts in one comment with optional precise location.

See the full release notes for more details.

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 4.0 Milestone 1. XWiki Enterprise 4.0 Milestone 1 starts a new major release cycle. This release brings reduced document database id collision and quite a few improvements and bug fixes.

See the full release notes for more details.

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 3.5. This is a stabilization release that brings many improvements to the Extension Manager, a new macro for displaying documents in a live table and quite a few bug fixes. XWiki Enterprise 3.5 is the last major release of the 3.x development cycle (there will still be bugfix releases on the 3.5.x branch, if needed). The next major release is going to be 4.0.

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 3.5 Milestone 1. This release brings many improvements to the Extension Manager, a new macro for displaying documents in a live table and quite a few bug fixes. This is the only milestone of the 3.5 release, which is the last release of the 3.x cycle. The next planned release is 3.5 final.

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 3.4. XWiki Enterprise 3.4 is a stabilization release as we're approaching the end of the 3.x cycle so its main goal was to improve the Extension Manager and App Within Minutes features. However, this release also comes with a new look and a new default wiki page syntax. Other things to check are the new delete space menu, the space templates, the minimized action menu, the new display macro and the fact that non-ASCII characters are preserverd in attachment file names.

See the full release notes for more details.

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 3.2.1. The first and probably last bugfix for the 3.2 series. One important change is the way relative references in an included document are resolved, reverting back to the pre-3.0 behavior. Other areas with several bugfixes are support for Oracle databases, the rending engine, the WYSIWYG editor, and the Activity Stream.

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 3.4 Release Candidate 1.

In September 2009 the XWiki.org project ran a survey asking users what features they'd like to see developed in the XWiki project.

2.5 years after, here's the result of what's been implemented and what's still outstanding. Since we're going to start defining the themes for the XWiki Enterprise 4.x cycle (which lasts 1 year), it's a good time to reflect on the results achieved so far compared to the community feedback from 2009. 

The idea is to start a new survey real soon to gather feedback again about what you'd like to see in the XWiki Enterprise 4.x cycle.

So without further ado here are the results... …
