| 7 | <insert description of release here> | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 5.2 Milestone 2) = | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | [[Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 5.2>>http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=11602]]. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | == New "Home" menu when there is more than one wiki == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | Compared to XWiki 5.2-milestone-2, we have removed the XWiki right menu and created a "Home" menu instead. | ||
| 16 | {{image reference="mainwiki-homemenu.png"/}} | ||
| 17 | {{image reference="workspace-homemenu.png"/}} | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | The "main wiki" (the first you have when you start a new instance) is now called "**Home**". | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | == Distribution Wizard Step to Upgrade All Wikis == | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | We added a new step to the [[Distribution Wizard>>doc:platform:Features.DistributionWizard]] to update the default set of wiki pages on each of the existing wikis. This step is triggered only if you choose to upgrade the entire farm in the "Upgrade Mode" step. | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | {{image reference="dw-wikisStep.png" width="600px"/}} | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | == Markdown Syntax 1.1 == | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | We've added [[version 1.1 of the Rendering Syntax for Markdown>>rendering:Main.Markdown11]], adding support for: | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | * Macros | ||
| 32 | * Superscript and subscript | ||
| 33 | * (X)HTML improvements | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | == Export large wikis as XARs == | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | It's possible to enable the use of new [[WikiStream>>doc:extensions:Extension.Wiki Stream Module]] framework in standard export action (use in the standard export UI for example). Among other things it allows exporting a wiki of pretty much any size. | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | [[WikiStream>>doc:extensions:Extension.Wiki Stream Module]] is too young to be enabled by default and will require heavy testing. In the meantime you can try it by uncommenting {{code}}# xwiki.action.export.xar.usewikistream=1{{/code}} at the end of xwiki.cfg file. | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | * Improved Active Installs Server side API to be able to pass any query to count installs. | ||
| 44 | * Active Installs Client now also send the Distribution id in addition to the Distribution version to identify the "product" sending the ping | ||
| 45 | * The checkboxes for the global rights settings are now displayed on the left of their labels.((( | ||
| 46 | {{image reference="RightsAdministration-CheckboxOnTheLeft.png"/}} | ||
| 47 | ))) | ||
| 48 | * The live search (search suggest) now displays a message when there are no results.((( | ||
| 49 | {{image reference="liveSearch-noResults.png"/}} | ||
| 50 | ))) | ||
| 51 | * The blog application is now packaged by default in the Home wiki only (not in new wikis). | ||
| 52 | * The "Create a new wiki" link has been removed from the wiki index. Now, you can only use the //Add > Wiki// menu. | ||
| 53 | * The Distribution Wizard does not appear anymore just after creating a new wiki based on the default template. | ||
| 54 | |||

| 59 | == WikiStream improvements == | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | Various improvements and bugfixes to fully support the use case of exporting a entire wiki into a XAR package. | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | Also added a XAR input module for [[WikiStream>>doc:extensions:Extension.Wiki Stream Module]], the only thing left before covering XAR import use case in Instance output module. | ||

| 99 | Always make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg## and ##xwiki.properties## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters were 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. | ||
