Features

Hello there! My name is Divyansh Jain. I am a student at Mahatma Jyoti Rao Phoole University. I have been selected as an Android developer for the XWiki organization and I've finished working on their XWiki Android Authenticator application in GSOC19. ...

At the beginning of the year the XWiki development team launched a new XWiki features survey. We had 31 community members filling in this survey. We looked at all the responses and we'd like to share the conclusions with you. ...

Findings of the Features Brainstorming session held during XWiki SAS Seminar 2018, covering 82 ideas from 35 people on 4 topic categories: what features to add, improve, remove or make paying. ...

The biggest highlights of the XWiki 9.x cycle were the support of multiple Flavors and the introduction of the Notifications feature. We managed to have 1003 issues fixed: 480 bugs, 254 improvements, 53 new features and more. Read our Top 10 features from 2017. ...

Some highlights of what done during the XWiki 8.x Cycle: 1461 issues closed, counting 745 bugs closed, 423 improvements, 66 new features and more (CKEditor by default, new homepage, tour for homepage, default templates, etc.)! XWiki 8.4.5 is our current LTS (Long Term Support) version and you can download it. ...

With the release of 9.5.1 we have dropped the XWiki Enterprise distribution and instead we exposed the Flavor mechanism. Now when you install or create a new wiki you will be able to choose the Flavor you want to use. We expect in the future that the community members will provide additional Flavors built on top of XWiki and you could select between them when customizing your wiki. ...

Here are some highlights of what done during the XWiki 7.x Cycle.

1557 issues closed: 696 bugs closed, 541 improvements, 83 new features and more! ...

Almost two years ago, in the XWiki open source community, we needed to learn how many XWiki users we actually had and understand a bit better our user base. For this we decided to implement a big data system allowing to get information about the XWiki open source installs, all anonymously of course. ...

I've prepared for XWiki SAS's Seminar a presentation reviewing the improvements and new features we added inside XWiki Enterprise between version 2.4 and version 5.1. 

For features that existed before 2.4 there is a comparison view of how it looks now and how it looked back then. I've also listed the people that were involved in making the features come true. ...

In February 2012 we launched a Survey to gather information from the XWiki Community about you would like to see implemented in the XWiki 4.x development cycle. Note that we had a similar exercise in 2009 and we had posted the results.

This survey had 2 purposes:

• Find out the main Development Themes for XWiki 4.x.
• Have a pioritized feature list that we could pick for when we decide each specific roadmap for the 4.x releases (4.0, 4.1, etc).

The most voted themes were:

• Theme 1: Ease of use
• Theme 2: Quality

Jointly with us, the XWiki SAS company also did the same exercise asking the same questions to its customers. They have published the full results which aggregate both Community votes and Customers votes. You can also check out the Raw CSV Data.

We'd like to thank everyone who took the time to answer and thus who've helped drive the direction of XWiki!
