13 The highlights of this release are: new annotation feature, new colibri color theme editor, anonymous commenting with captcha.
14
15 = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 2.2.3) =
16
17 == Annotations ==
18
19 The scope of this feature is to allow users to annotate text in an XWiki document. With the new feature you can:
20
21 * Make annotations by selecting the text and pressing ##Ctrl + M (Meta + M)##
22 (((

24 )))
25 * Show annotations on your page
26 (((
27 image:ShowAnnotation.png
28 )))
29 * See an annotation for a text item by hovering over the yellow icon next to it
30 (((
31 image:HoverAnnotation.png
32 )))
33 * Edit and delete annotations straight from the page
34 (((
35 image:EditAnnotation.png
36 )))
37 * Manage annotations from the "Annotations" tab
38 (((
39 image:AnnotationsTab.png
40 )))
41
42 You can find a more detailed description of the annotations feature on the [[documentation page>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.Annotations]].
43
44 == Color Theme Editor ==
45
46 The new editor allows fast and easy modifications for the look and feel of the wiki. You'll find in this editor
47
48 * A new way of displaying themes on the "Color Themes" space home
49 (((
50 image:AvailableThemes.png
51 )))
52 * The ability to create a new theme from the "Color Theme" space home
53 (((
54 image:CreateNewTheme.png
55 )))
56 * A palette for each area you are editing with a popup listing everything you can customize at this level
57 (((
58 image:EditMenu.png
59 )))
60 * A dialog where you can make the desired changes
61 (((
62 image:EditMenu1.png
63 )))
64 * The possibility to undo the latest modifications or reset all changes
65
66 Read more about Color Themes on the dedicated [[application page>>extensions:Extension.Color Theme Application]].
67
68 == Anonymous commenting with Captcha ==
69
70 Now thanks to the [[captcha module>>extensions:Extension.Captcha Module]] you can require unregistered users to solve a captcha in order to post comments. To require guests to solve a captcha simply go to the "Rights" section of the [[Administration Application>>extensions:Extension.Administration Application]] for the wiki or just the space, and check the box saying "Require unregistered users to solve a captcha when posting a comment on a page". **Note** This box does not give guests permission to comment, it only adds a requirement for commenting if they already have permission.
71 [[This feature is documented here.>>Documentation.AdminGuide.Configuration]]
72 Sample:

76 == Easier development of configurable applications using [[XWiki.ConfigurableClass>>extensions:Extension.Administration Application#HMaking20your20application20easily20configurable20with203Ctt3EConfigurableClass3C2Ftt3E20Since2023M1]] ==
77
78 If you are developing an application and you need to provide your users with a way to configure it from the [[Administration Application>>extensions:Extension.Administration Application]] you are in luck because all you need to do is create a custom class holding all of the configuration for your application then add an object of your custom configuration class and an object of ##XWiki.Configurable## class and your application will be able to be configured in the administration interface.

83 Note the current user does not have permission to edit one of the configurable applications.
84
85 == Translations ==
86
87 * Newly supported language: Vietnamese
88 * WYSIWYG newly supported language: Traditional Chinese
89 * All the translations have been updated
90
91 = Known issues =
92
93 * [[Bugs we know about>>https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&type=1&pid=10010&resolution=-1&sorter/field=updated&sorter/order=DESC]]

95 {{error}}
96 There is a regression in this version: empty paragraph or paragraph containing only a macro is not parser properly. See https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-5046 for more details.
97 {{/error}}
98
99 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
100
101 == General Notes ==
102
103 {{warning}}
104 If you're running in a multiwiki setup you'll also need to define the property //xwiki.store.migration.databases=all// to your //xwiki.cfg// file or explicitly name all databases to be migrated as in <tt>xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,...//.
105 {{/warning}}
106
107 You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from the improvements listed above.
108
109 {{warning}}
110 Always make sure you compare your //xwiki.cfg// file with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Note 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.
111 {{/warning}}
112
113 == Migration Notes ==
114
115 * headers id generation changed a bit and allow more characters: hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".") are not filtered anymore.
