13 == Flavors ==
14
15 {{warning}}
16 This feature is experimental and not bundled in XWiki by default. However, you can install and try it.
17 {{/warning}}
18
19 In the future, XWiki will offer different flavors. A flavor is a collection of applications. When you install a flavor, you get a wiki fully configured for a use-case. In this release, we have implemented the ability to chose a flavor when you create a new wiki.

24
25 To test it, you need to install the [[extensions:Extension.Flavor Module]] and edit the file ##META-INF/maven/org.xwiki.enterprise/xwiki-enterprise-web/pom.xml## in your web app. Just remove the line: {{code language="xml"}}<xwiki.extension.distribution.wikiui>org.xwiki.enterprise:xwiki-enterprise-ui-wiki</xwiki.extension.distribution.wikiui>{{/code}} and restart your wiki.

29 == Miscellaneous ==
30
31 * Mail API has been slightly modified to fix a bug when waiting for all mails to have been processed (the ##waitForProcessing()## wasn't really waiting!). As a consequence calls to ##MailResult.waitTillProcessed(long timeout)## and ##MailResult.isProcessed()## have been replaced by calls to ##MailStatusResult.waitTillProcessed(long timeout)## and ##MailStatusResult.isProcessed()##. Note that for backward compatibility reason the scripting API still supports the old API (but it's deprecated and you should move your code to use the new API).
32
33 * Mail Status Store API has been refactored to provides ordered result based on any status fields. A new method also ease loading a single status for a given messageId.

39 == Mail API: Send prepared mime message to multiple users as independent message ==
40
41 A new mime message cloning factory (hint "message") is available to be used with iterator factories. It duplicates a given source message as is, to allow sending it to multiple users as independent messages. See [[Example 5>>extensions:Extension.Mail Sender API||anchor="HExample5:SendapreparedmimemessagetoalistofUsersandGroups"]] of the documentation for a sample.

81 When upgrading make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg##, ##xwiki.properties## and ##web.xml## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or 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.
