14	14
15		-* There's now a link to the [[Getting Started Guide>>enterprise:GettingStarted.WebHome]] on the XWiki Enterprise home page.
	15	+The speed and reliability of the [[Extension Repository>>extensions:Extension.Extension Repository Application]] has been improved considerably. For example the [[XWiki.org Extension Repository>>extensions:Extension.WebHome]] is now much faster when you access it from XWiki Enterprise and you should now be able to browse and install extensions in no time.

	17	+Upgrading applications with related configuration documents is now handled using the merge conflict resolution UI. Changes are displayed as if you were comparing versions from a document's history.

21		-The basic support for hidden documents introduced in XWiki Enterprise 1.7 has been reimplemented differently (the previous implementation was not allowing anyone, including Admins, to see hidden documents!). The new logic is currently as follows (it'll be discussed and probably modified in XWiki Enterprise 4.1):
	21	+If extension installation fails, the error message is extracted from the logs and displayed. You can view the full stack trace by clicking on the error message.
22	22
23		-* Simple users never see hidden documents

	26	+
	27	+The install and uninstall plans display extensions like in the dependency section. This way you can follow the link of an extension to find out more about what is going to be installed.
	28	+
	29	+image:EM-uninstallPlan.png
	30	+
	31	+The install and uninstall process is now completely asynchronous. You can see below how the progress is indicated.

	35	+See the [[Extension Manager Application documentation>>doc:extensions:Extension.Extension Manager Application]] for more details.

	37	+== Hide technical documents from non-technical users ==
	38	+
	39	+* Users who do not opt to see hidden documents do not see them on panels or in search results.
24	24	* For advanced users, it is now possible to specify that a document should be hidden when editing the document (only //wiki// or //wysiwyg// edit modes):(((

31		-{{warning}}
32		-As already mentioned above in warning, setting the Hidden configuration value will currently not have any effect on the default XWiki Enterprise pages since they're not calling the new filtering API yet (you'll need to wait for 4.1 for taht!). However it's supposed to work like this:
33		-{{/warning}}

35	35	* If the user doesn't set explicitly the Hidden setting value in his profile, he won't see hidden documents by default. Thus seeing hidden documents is an explicit choice.

40		-* Log as Admin on your wiki (or any user having edit rights)
