For Admins

• Repository improvements:  

  • the concept of project was added to the Repository application
  • the update of extension with a lot of versions is now much faster (only missing version are added, it assumes existing one are correct)

For Developers

• Docker Test Improvement: Add the ability to install the XS Flavor and WAR, instead of generating a minimal XWiki instance.

In the content of HTML macros in a document without script right or a comment, it is only allowed on <a> and <map> elements.
