[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Drop support for IE8/IE9 in 7.x

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

Hi, One year ago (Mar 2014) [1] we discussed dropping support for IE8 for the 6.x cycle. The vote did not pass. Since then, we started the support for IE10/IE11 (Jun 2014) [2]. You can see some statistics and the current browsers we support at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BrowserSupportStrategy This mail is about voting the drop of support for IE8/IE9 for cycle 7.x. WDYT? My +1 Thanks, Caty [1] http://markmail.org/thread/es5ghym4gphlj4mz [2] http://markmail.org/thread/mzvcovh2da2t4e3w

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Drop support for Colibri Skin in 7.x

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

Hi, This mail is about dropping support for Colibri Skin [1]. Colibri Skin has been developed in version 2.0 (Sep 2009) and used as a default Skin until version 6.2 (Sep 2014), when it was replaced by Flamingo Skin [2]. Colibri is still supported for 6.x branch (currently we are developing version 6.4.5). Since the Flamingo Skin had stabilized, I propose we drop support for Colibri Skin in 7.x, in order to focus on Flamingo. This means the improvements and bugfixes will not be mandatory to be ported on Colibri anymore. We can still have Colibri bundled for one more cycle and after we can retired it. WDYT? Here is my +1 Thanks, Caty [1] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Colibri+Skin [2] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Flamingo+Skin [3] http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/SupportSkin

[xwiki-devs] [ANN] XWiki 7.1 released

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 7.1 This release adds important changes and improvements for Extension Manager, Solr Search, Watchlist, a new experimental Flavors mechanism and a Debug mode for performance analysis. Extension Manager provides a summary for the extension diff view in order to ease the navigation of the local code changes. A new Extension History section has also been added, offering support for selective export, import and replay of extension-related history records. Solr Search UI is improved by making it responsive on small screens. The users can now sort, paginate and filter the search results without a page reload. The Flavors and Watchlist Realtime option are currently still experimental, but you are encouraged to test them and provide feedback. The WatchList performance has been improved, especially for the Realtime notification option. The Realtime Watchlist messages are displayed in a more user-friendly way, sending mails for a variety of events, threaded by your email client by the document they occurred in. The Flavor mechanism is allowing the selection of Flavors in the wiki creation step. In the future, XWiki will offer different Flavors and these are steps towards this direction. Under-the-hood there are various mail and job module improvements. The developers can now trigger old Prototype event listeners from jQuery and a new API is available to escape wiki syntax. You can download it here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download Make sure to review the release notes: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki71 The following people have contributed code to this release: Thomas Mortagne Vincent Massol Guillaume Delhumeau Eduard Moraru Marius Dumitru Florea Denis Gervalle Sergiu Dumitriu Manuel Smeria Gabriela Smeria Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) Anca Luca Jean SIMARD Clemens Robbenhaar Thanks for your support -The XWiki dev team

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Change the naming of Programming Right

by vincent＠massol.net

Hi devs, With the intoduction of http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12171 (Add a script right to manage script macro execution permissions) in 7.2, we should also think about renaming what we call "Programming Right" (PR for short) since "Script" and "Programming" are close. At least to change that in the UI (and possibly even at API level by introducing new methods ands deprecating old ones). First step would be to find a new name. I can think of: * Privilege Right (nice thing is that PR is still valid ;)) http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/privilege "a right, immunity, or benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most:". This would mean that people with the Privilege Right would be able to use Privileged APIs. * System Right * God Right My preference goes to "Privilege" or "Privileged". WDYT about 1) Changing the name 2) The new name to use if you agree with 1) ? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Nested Spaces] Database Model design and issues

by vincent＠massol.net

Hi Devs, At http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/NestedSpaces#HDatabaseModel I have started drafting some naive impl for Nested Spaces. I believe Edy has provided some other links with probably more elaborate algorithms that we should study (such as http://www.slideshare.net/billkarwin/models-for-hierarchical-data). In any case I’ve also started a Problem section at http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/NestedSpaces#HProblems where I’ve listed one item FTM. I’m pasting it here: “ * For ex if you do HQL (or you use an extension that does) like {{code}}where doc.space = 'somespace'{{/code}} and add a parent or child Space for ##somespace## then the query will not return anything anymore since you can have something like ##parent.somespace.child## in the DB in the ##space## column (since we store the full space reference in there for NS). ** Solution 1: Rewrite the queries to use something like {{code}}where doc.space = 'somespace' or doc.space like '%.somespace'{{/code}}. ** Solution 2: Don't modify the ##space## column and add a ##spaceReference## one. This is not perfect in case there are several spaces named ##somespace## ** Solution 3: ?? “ I’d be curious to know what you think about it and if you have ideas. Feel free to list other problems you can see there and your ideas for solving them. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Do not use dom4j anymore and instead use JDOM2

by vincent＠massol.net

Hi devs, I’d like to propose that we agree about: * using JDOM2 when needing to parse/output XML files * moving away existing code gradually from DOM4J to JDOM2 Rationale: * It would be nice to pick one fwk and have more consistency * DOM4J seems not maintained anymore: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dom4j/files/ * JDOM2 seems maintained: http://jdom.org/news/ WDYT?

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Roadmap for XWiki 7.2

by vincent＠massol.net

Hi Devs, Here are some proposals below that I have discussed with committers from XWiki SAS already. For all other committers (thinking about Denis, Sergiu, Clemens, or others), feel free to add other stuff you’d like to do in 7.2. Content ======= Large topics: - Nested Spaces (yeah!) - See http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/NestedSpaces - Thomas/Marius/Guillaume/Edy/Caty/Gabriela/Vincent. See also the mail I sent a few days ago on this: http://markmail.org/message/sl3n3gvcxbsp2l6k - Add a new right to allow users to write scripts in wiki pages - Eduard Proposed Dates ============== - 7.2M1: 6 July - 7.2M2: 3 August - 7.2M3: 24 August - 7.2RC1: 7 September - 7.2Final: 14 September Note: There are lots of people going on holidays during the summer which is why I’m proposing a longer time frame than usual for 7.2. In addition Nested Spaces is a complex topic to implement so we’ll need this time :) Let me know if there are any concerns. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Implement Nested Spaces in XWiki 7.2

by vincent＠massol.net

Hi devs, The time has finally come! We’ve been discussing for a long time about implementing Nested Spaces in XWiki but we’ve never had the time to do it. It was raised for example in http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-354 in 2006! :) This has been discussed internally at XWiki SAS and XWiki SAS has agreed to put all its devs on it for 7.2. To be fully transparent, a client of XWiki SAS is helping sponsor this feature if we can have a first version in 7.2 and a full implementation by the end of the year. We’ve (We = the XWiki core committers who work for XWiki SAS) started an early design of what needs to be done at http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/NestedSpaces With this email I’d like to ensure that all XWiki Dev Team committers agree to include the Nested Spaces feature in 7.2. The idea will be to mostly implement it in this release and then to fine-tune/polish/fix issues in 7.3 and 7.4 so that by the end of the year it’s fully implemented. Of course there’ll be plenty of discussions/decisions to make and they’ll all be discussed on this list, as usual. Note that I plan to send the usual roadmap proposal for 7.2 at the end of this week but I wanted to make sure we’d agree about developing this feature first! (I hope we do agree :)). WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [idea] okHttp's HttpUrl class

by vincent＠massol.net

Hi devs, Could be interesting to use this okHttp when we need to manipulate URL/URI. Obviously we shouldn't drop URL/URI in APIs since that’s the standard… It allows to more easily parse query strings too. Anyway this is just some idea and more a FYI. See https://corner.squareup.com/2015/05/okhttp-2-4.html Thanks -Vincenr
