This is the release notes for XWiki Commons, XWiki Rendering and XWiki Platform. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version.

This release was focused on bug fixes. It comes with a lot of bug fixes and a couple of small improvements for things like the live table date filter, the Database List field from AppWithinMinutes or the Delete User modal. We managed to fix 43 bugs in total, among them 10 were blockers and 8 criticals. You can find more interesting statistics and the full list of changes below.

New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 11.2)

Full list of issues fixed and Dashboard for 11.3.

For Users

Improved Date Filter

 
The look & feel of the live table date filter has been improved. You can check it on the Page Index.

Improved Database List Field

 
The Database List field that you can use when creating an application with AppWithinMinutes has been improved. It is now displayed by default using an input suggest picker that adapts to single and multiple selection. You can still change the display type if you want. If you choose the "Select" display type then you can also control its size.

Miscellaneous

• "My Groups" user profile section has been renamed to "Groups": Check the User Profile documentation for more information.

• The user notification filter preferences are now automatically updated when a watched page is moved/renamed.

For Admins

Warning when Deleting Users with Script Right

 
Wiki administrators are now warned when they are about to delete users that have Script or Programming Rights, if there are pages that were last modified by these users. Check out the Administration Application documentation for more information.

For Developers

No changes!

Performances

Several performance fixes were done to fix cases where Notifications would hang and use a lot CPU.

Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes

Attachment URL API

In order to fix a cache issue related to attachments, we changed the behavior of Document#getAttachmentURL methods.

Those methods now return by default a downloadrev URL containing a query parameter part. 

If you want to add a query parameter for the returned URL, please don't append it to the returned URL, but use the dedicated API. 

General Notes

• When upgrading make sure you compare and merge the following XWiki configuration files since some parameters may have been modified, removed or added:
  • xwiki.cfg
  • xwiki.properties
  • web.xml
  • hibernate.cfg.xml
• Add xwiki.store.migration=1 in xwiki.cfg so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to any new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.

API Breakages

No APIs have been modified since XWiki 11.2.
