42	42	A new Script Right has been added to allow controlling who has the right to write Scripts. Specifically anyone with Edit rights can edit a page and write a Script in it. However, when the page is rendered the script will only execute if the last author of the page has the Script right.

47	47
48	48	The Script Right is set to DENY by default, meaning that if you do not have it explicitly, you will not be able to execute the scripts that you write with your user account.
49	49
50	50	However, for backward-compatibility reasons, the standard XWiki Enterprise distribution comes with the Script Right being allowed for all users at the main wiki level, so that, unless you (as an Admin) explicitly revoke the right for some users or explicitly deny it, they will be able to execute the scripts they wrote, just like before.

324		-== JS API Improvements ==
325		-
326		-* It's now possible to create a Nested Spaces Reference using XWiki's Javascript API. For example:(((
327		-{{code language="javascript"}}
328		-// Construct a Nested Space reference
329		-var reference = new XWiki.SpaceReference('wiki', ['space1', 'space2']);
330		-expect(XWiki.Model.serialize(reference)).toEqual('wiki:space1.space2');

333		-// Construct a non-Nested Space reference

336		-// Try passing non-valid space parameters
337		-expect(function() {new XWiki.SpaceReference('wiki', [])}).toThrow('Missing mandatory space name or invalid type for: []');
338		-expect(function() {new XWiki.SpaceReference('wiki', 12)}).toThrow('Missing mandatory space name or invalid type for: [12]');
339		-{{/code}}
340		-)))
341		-* A new ##XWiki.EntityReference.equals()## method has been added. For example:(((
342		-{{code language="javascript"}}
343		-var reference1 = new XWiki.DocumentReference('wiki', ['space1', 'space2'], 'page');
344		-var reference2 = new XWiki.DocumentReference('wiki', ['space1', 'space2'], 'page');

348		-{{/code}}
349		-)))
350		-* A new ##XWiki.EntityReference.fromJSONObject(obejct)## has been added to create a Javascript ##XWiki.EntityReference## from a Java ##EntityReference## directly serialized as JSON:(((
351		-{{code language="javascript"}}
352		-var reference = XWiki.EntityReference.fromJSONObject(jsonText.evalJSON());
353		-{{/code}}
354		-)))
355		-* A new ##XWiki.EntityReferenceTree## JS class has been added, which partially mimics the Java ##EntityReferenceTree## Class. It's still missing features though as it was introduced mostly to make it easier to manipulate a serialized Java ##EntityReferenceTree##.
356		-
357		-== Updated Document Tree Macro ==
358		-
359		-The [[Document Tree Macro>>extensions:Extension.Document Tree Macro]] now supports Nested Pages and Nested Spaces modes. Specifically, the following changes have been made:
360		-
361		-* removed the ##showSpaceAsDocument## parameter (was introduced recently in 7.2M1)
362		-* deprecated the ##showChildDocuments## parameter
363		-* added the ##hierarchyMode## parameter with two supported values: ##reference## (default) and ##parentchild##
364		-
365		-As a result, you can use the document tree macro like this:
