Release Notes for XWiki Enterprise 1.7 Milestone 2

Second milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 1.7 version (Roadmap).

Summary of changes since XWiki Enterprise 1.7 Milestone 1

Main changes:
  • Work in progress on the new XWiki Syntax v2.0. You'll find information on how to enter content using the new syntaxes in the Page Editing Guide.
  • Work in progress on the new WYSIWYG editor. The look & feel is not the final one. Please look at the new WYSIWYG Design page to see what it'll look like (except for the colors which will be different). To start using the new editor, check out the Page Editing Guide. Again this is work in progress but we'd like as much feedback as possible. Please raise any issue you find in JIRA.
  • Added a ROOT webapp to the standalone distribution.

    Important bug fixes:

  • SMTP server address is not re-read when it's changed in global preferences
  • Watchlist update sent by email does not contain the full path to a changed attachment

Known issues

Common Migration notes

If you're running in a multiwiki setup you'll also need to define the property xwiki.store.migration.databases=all to your xwiki.cfg file or explicitely name all databases to be migrated as in xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,....

You may also want to import the default wiki XAR in order to benefit from improvements listed above.

Always make sure you compare your xwiki.cfg file with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Of note, 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.
