They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. | ||

 |
44.1 | 7 | This release introduces the ability to change the width of the panel columns and comes with an improved Active Installs feature. Developers can now use the LESS preprocessor for skin style sheets. A couple of bug fixes (18) and some small improvements (24) make this release worth trying. |

 |
4.2 | 13 | == Improved Active Installs == |
| |
1.1 | 14 | |
| |
4.1 | 15 | The [[Active Installs feature>>extensions:Extension.Active Installs Server Application]] has been improved a lot and a new data format has been set up in order to be able to provide more information, namely: |
| |
7.1 | 16 | |
| |
4.1 | 17 | * Graphing of Active Installs counter over time |
| |
9.1 | 18 | * Display pie charts of XWiki versions, Java versions, Servlet Containers and Databases used for Active Installs |

| 25 | |||
 |
17.1 | 26 | == Improved Panels == |
| 27 | |||
| |
21.1 | 28 | * It is now possible to change the width of the panel columns: |
| |
17.1 | 29 | |
| 30 | {{image reference="panelWizard.png" width="65%"/}} | ||
| 31 | |||
| |
25.1 | 32 | * Inside a panel, you can know the current width with the ##$xwikiPanelWidth## variable. |
| |
21.1 | 33 | |
| |
1.1 | 34 | == Miscellaneous == |
| 35 | |||
| |
40.1 | 36 | * The [[user directory>>extensions:Extension.User Directory Application]] is now displaying the user id (alias) instead of the full user document reference which is too technical:((( |
| 37 | {{image reference="userDirectory.png" width="400px"/}} | ||
| 38 | ))) | ||
| |
6.2 | 39 | * Added [[ability to configure Pie Chart labels>>extensions:Extension.Chart Macro]] using the ##pie_label_format## property. For example using ##pie_label_format:{0} - {2}## would give:((( |
| |
5.1 | 40 | {{image reference="pielabel.png"/}} |
| 41 | ))) | ||
| |
11.1 | 42 | * XWiki now support resolving a Maven extension with a parent from a different Maven repository |
 |
13.1 | 43 | * More HTTP cache settings, configurable using ##xwiki.httpheaders.cache## in ##xwiki.cfg## or ##headers_nocache## in ##XWiki.XWikiPreferences##: |
| 44 | ** ##0##: **no Cache-Control header** sent, use the browser's defaults. RFC 2616 only specifies optional behavior in this case | ||
| 45 | ** ##1## (default): **no-cache**; caches must not serve this response in a subsequent response, but the page is stored for the bf-cache | ||
| 46 | ** ##2##: **no-store, no-cache and max-age=0**; the response will never be reused, not even for bf-cache; note that unsaved changes may be lost | ||
| 47 | ** ##3##: **private**; the response will be cached by personal caches, such as a browser cache | ||
| 48 | ** ##4##: **public**; the response may be cached by both personal and shared caches | ||
| |
19.1 | 49 | * To ensure the compatibility with Internet Explorer 8, the Flamingo skin uses [[Respond.js>>https://github.com/scottjehl/Respond]] and [[HTML5Shiv>>https://github.com/aFarkas/html5shiv/]]. It enables CSS3 media queries and HTML5 tags. |
| |
33.3 | 50 | * "Human" requests like ##view## or ##edit## are not waiting XWiki initialization forever and display a waiting page with initialization progress instead: {{image reference="init.png"/}} |

| |
32.1 | 56 | == LESS integration == |
| |
1.1 | 57 | |
| |
32.1 | 58 | * We are happy to propose the ability of using the [[LESS preprocessor>>http://lesscss.org/]] directly in XWiki. Right now, it is only able to compile some files located in the skin directory in the WAR. See [[extensions:Extension.LESS Module]]. |

Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema.
