| 5 | This is the release notes for [[XWiki Commons>>http://commons.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Rendering>>http://rendering.xwiki.org]], [[XWiki Platform>>http://platform.xwiki.org]] and [[XWiki Enterprise>>http://enterprise.xwiki.org]]. They share the same release notes as they are released together and have the same version. | ||
| 6 | |||
 |
23.1 | 7 | First and hopefully last release candidate before 6.0 final. This release contain mostly improvements on Distribution Wizard and new experimental Flamingo skin. |
| |
1.1 | 8 | |
| 9 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 6.0 Milestone 2) = | ||
| 10 | |||

1.1 | 12 | |
| |
3.1 | 13 | == Distribution Wizard improvements == |
| |
1.1 | 14 | |
| |
3.1 | 15 | The Extensions step now lets global administrators choose between: |
| |
1.1 | 16 | |
| |
3.1 | 17 | * computing the upgrade plan for the entire farm |
| 18 | * computing the upgrade plan only for the main wiki + global namespace | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | The first option is suited when the farm is managed by a single entity while the second option is suited when each wiki in the farm is managed by a different entity. Obviously computing the upgrade plan for the entire farm takes longer (with the number of wikis) than computing the upgrade plan only for the main wiki. | ||
| 21 | |||
| |
4.1 | 22 | {{image reference="checkForUpdates-done.png"/}} |
| |
3.1 | 23 | |
| 24 | Extensions are now sorted by their name (but still grouped by wiki) and paginated on the Extensions step. | ||
| 25 | |||
| |
26.1 | 26 | We also paginated the Wikis step, which could have been pretty long if you had many wikis. See the [[Distribution Wizard documentation>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.DistributionWizard]] for more information. |
| |
3.1 | 27 | |
 |
9.1 | 28 | == Experimental Flamingo Skin == |
| 29 | |||
| 30 | * The "page export" action is now handled via a modal popup:((( | ||
| 31 | image:flamingo-export.png | ||
| 32 | ))) | ||
| |
12.1 | 33 | * Create/rename/delete actions are now handled by Flamingo:((( |

| |
10.1 | 35 | ))) |
| |
9.1 | 36 | |
| |
1.1 | 37 | == Miscellaneous == |
| 38 | |||
| |
17.1 | 39 | * We improved the way attachment file names are indexed by Solr so you should be able to find attachments more easily from now on. |
| |
1.1 | 40 | |
| |
25.1 | 41 | See the [[full list of JIRA issues>>https://jira.xwiki.org/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-printable/temp/SearchRequest.html?jqlQuery=project+in+%28XCOMMONS%2C+XRENDERING%2C+XWIKI%2C+XE%29+and+status+%3D+Closed+and+resolution+%3D+Fixed+and+fixVersion+%3D+%226.0-rc-1%22&tempMax=1000]] fixed in this release. |
| |
1.1 | 42 | |
| 43 | = For Developers = | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | == Upgrades == | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | The following dependencies have been upgraded: | ||
| 48 | |||
| |
25.1 | 49 | * [[Logback 1.1.2>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-563]] |
| 50 | * [[Lucene and Solr 4.7.1>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10215]] | ||
| 51 | * [[Jython 2.7-b1>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10221]] | ||
| |
1.1 | 52 | |
| 53 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 54 | |||
| |
15.1 | 55 | * We added a new field "##filename_exact##" to the [[Solr Schema>>design:Design.SolrSchema]] to store the attachment file names as verbatim (without being analysed) for exact and prefix matching. The existing ##filename## field is analysed and thus cannot be used for exact/prefix matching. |
| |
18.1 | 56 | * The Wiki module does not handle the application descriptors of the deprecated [[Application Manager>>extensions:Extension.Application Manager Application]] anymore. |
| |
1.1 | 57 | |
| 58 | = Translations = | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | The following translations have been updated: | ||
| 61 | |||
| |
21.1 | 62 | {{language codes="fr, de"/}} |
| |
1.1 | 63 | |
| 64 | = Tested Browsers & Databases = | ||
| 65 | |||
 |
20.2 | 66 | {{include reference="TestReports.ManualTestReportXWiki60RC1Summary"/}} |
| |
1.1 | 67 | |
| 68 | = Known issues = | ||
| 69 | |||
| |
25.1 | 70 | * [[Bugs we know about>>https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=category+%3D+%22Top+Level+Projects%22+AND+issuetype+%3D+Bug+AND+resolution+%3D+Unresolved+ORDER+BY+updated+DESC]] |
| |
1.1 | 71 | |
| 72 | = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes = | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | == General Notes == | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | When upgrading make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg##, ##xwiki.properties## and ##web.xml## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or added. Note that 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. | ||
| 77 | |||
| |
14.1 | 78 | == Solr Search Index == |
| |
1.1 | 79 | |
| |
14.1 | 80 | {{error}} |
| |
25.1 | 81 | We made changes to the [[Solr schema>>http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/SolrSchema]] in this release (see [[XWIKI-10225>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10225]]) and unfortunately we don't have support for automatic Solr search index migration at this point. If you upgrade from XWiki 4.3 Milestone 2 or greater then **you have to delete the 'solr' folder** from the configured permanent directory of your XWiki instance. The Solr index will be recreated automatically and the entire wiki/farm will be re-indexed after a server restart. |

14.1 | 82 | {{/error}} |
| |
1.1 | 83 | |

| |
1.1 | 87 | |
| |
22.1 | 88 | * Moved some method from EntityResource to Resource and changed EntityResource constructor:((( |
