As part of our XWiki Days we had our first Improvement Fixing Day on the 6th of March 2014. Its goal was to close the maximum of JIRA issues of type "Improvement" by taking low-hanging fruit and taking the occasion to clean up our improvement list (duplicates, won't fix, etc).

We had 4 participants and we managed to close 18 improvements (8 real fixes). …

Yesterday we had our Bug Fixing Day #56. We managed to close 10 bugs (3 real fixes). We're now at -20 bugs only for the 1600 days period! …

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki Enterprise 5.4.2. This is a bugfix release. See the release notes for more information on what it fixes compared to XWiki 5.4.1 …

As part of our XWiki Days we had a Deprecation Fixing Day on the 20th of February 2014. Its goal was to have the maximum number of XWiki committers and contributors work together to fix the maximum number of deprecation calls and moving deprecated APIs not used anymore to our Legacy modules.

We had 3 committers participating with the following results.

The Sonar Dashboard says we had 2057 deprecated calls. We fixed 64 deprecated calls which leads us to 1993 remaining deprecated calls.

But even more important we moved 30 deprecated API to Legacy which means nobody coding on the XWiki project will be able to use those APIs by errors from now on!

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Yesterday we had our Bug Fixing Day #55. For the 5.x development cycle we've decided to intensify our bug fixing and invert the bugs created vs bugs fixed ratio so that we're always in the green, by having weekly BFDs.

We managed to close 12 bugs (12 real fixes). Nice BFD!  We're now at -13 bugs only for the 1600 days period! …
