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 milestone integrates the Ratings module inside platform, providing the ability to rate extensions inside the Extension Repository and visualise them inside Extension Manager. We have also added improvements for Flamingo Skin on the responsiveness aspect, reintroduced the Wiki configuration section in Administration and done massive work in augmenting the Mail Sender API to be able to send large number of emails. 8: 9: = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 6.4-milestone-2) = 10: 11: [[Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 6.4>>https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=12791]]. 12: 13: == Rating Features == 14: 15: === Ratings module === 16: 17: Contrib ratings project has been moved to platform. Java APIs have been broken by the package renaming but script APIs have been kept retro-compatible and the UI is mostly the same. 18: 19: See [[Ratings Application>>extensions:Extension.Ratings Application]]. 20: 21: === Ratings support for extensions === 22: 23: It's now possible to rate extensions in [[Extension Repository>>extensions:Extension.Repository Application]] and any repository handler can expose extension rating that are displayed (read only for now) in [[Extension Manager>>extensions:Extension.Extension Manager Application]]. 24: 25: {{image reference="ratingem.png"/}} {{image reference="ratinger.png"/}} 26: 27: == Wiki Configuration == 28: 29: A new "Configuration > Wiki" section is added in Administration where you can configure the current wiki, whether it is the main wiki or a subwiki. 30: 31: {{image reference="wikiDescriptorEditingAdministration-cropped.png"/}} 32: 33: For more information, see the [[documentation>>extensions:Extension.Wiki Application||anchor="HConfigureWiki"]]. 34: 35: == Flamingo Skin == 36: 37: Some improvements have been made on the responsive tables (including the livetables) and we have fixed the broken livetables for mobiles on some places: 38: 39: ((( 40: {{image reference="livetable-rights.png" width="30%"/}} {{image reference="mobile-users.png" width="30%"/}} {{image reference="mobile-groups.png" width="30%"/}} 41: ))) 42: 43: == Batch Mail Sending == 44: 45: The [[Mail Sender API>>extensions:Extension.Mail Sender API]] has been modified to support sending a large number of mails at once. In addition the [[Mail Admin UI>>extensions:Extension.Mail Application]] has been improved to display the statuses of mails (when they're sent by XWiki features specifying that the mail statuses should be persisted). 46: 47: {{image reference="emailcategory.png"/}} 48: 49: {{image reference="emailstatus.png"/}} 50: 51: == Solr server setup package == 52: 53: Everything needed to setup an XWiki index in a remote Solr server is now packaged in a standalone project (##xwiki-platform-search-solr-server-data##). A Debian package (##xwiki-solr-data##) has also been provided to make easier to keep it up to date. 54: 55: == Miscellaneous == 56: 57: * Displaying the 'Stable versions' label in an extension's description in Extension Manager before and after the list of versions is retrieved. 58: 59: 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+%226.4-milestone-3%22&tempMax=1000]] fixed in this release. 60: 61: = For Developers = 62: 63: == Rendering == 64: 65: * XWiki Rendering now provide an HTML5 Renderer. 66: 67: == REST == 68: 69: The REST API for the repository module has been updated to include information about the extension's rating. 70: The information regarding ratings has been included in the AbstractExtension element of the XML Schema, thus it is available in the extension's detailed information and in the search results. 71: 72: **More information:** 73: * [[Repository module documentation>>http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Repository+Module#HREST]] 74: 75: **Example:** 76: 77: {{code language="xml"}} 78: <extension> 79: <id>org.xwiki.contrib:application-filemanager-ui</id> 80: <name>File Manager Application</name> 81: <type>xar</type> 82: <!-- start rating info --> 83: <rating> 84: <totalVotes>821</totalVotes> 85: <averageVote>5.0</averageVote> 86: </rating> 87: <!-- end rating info --> 88: <summary>Application to manage a hierarchy of folders and files.
