The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki
6.2.5.
This version is mostly a stabilization release which fix many bugs we have
discovered since XWiki 6.2.4. But it also brings some improvements on the
screen-width-responsiveness of the livetable in Flamingo.

Hi devs,
We have been getting reports recently of people getting a lot of SPAM in
their public XWiki instances, even if they had the CAPTCHA module [1]
enabled on their comments/registration pages.
These past 2 days I`ve been investigating the current status of the CAPTCHA
module and what is the state of the art in fighting SPAM.
I have produced the following document [2] that I would like you to have a
look at and tell me what you think and/or what is your experience with
XWiki's CAPTCHA module and with fighting SPAM in general.
TL;DR: I would like to propose that we move to Google's new NO CAPTHA
reCAPTCHA as the default CAPTCHA solution and that we implement a
configurable back-end that allows admins to easily switch between CAPTCHA
engines/services.
Thanks,
Eduard

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 6.4.
The 6.4 release is the last major release of the 6.x development Cycle and as such was mainly dedicated to improvements and bugfixes on things introduced during 6.X.Â
This version introduces some developer oriented improvements: allow wiki based skins to overwrite macro.vm template, allow filesystem skins indicating explicitly the skin they are inheriting from, allow any component to be injected with its ComponentDescriptor, Panels and UI extensions are now executed with the right of their author so among other things they can use APIs requiring Programming rights.
It also brings UI improvements in the Menu application, a new Mail application (and Mail-related improvements, such as the ability to send massive number of emails) and lots of Flamingo skin improvements (Mobile-friendliness to mention one), while offering developers the ability to write LESS in Skin Extensions, and a cool icon picker.
Last but not least, this version provides the ability to rate Extensions inside the Extension Repository and visualise them inside the Extension Manager.Â

Since 6.2 (and XE-1419) there is no base skin by default which mean
that if you forget to set a base skin in your wiki skin it inherit
directly from /templates and /resources. XE-1419 was done mostly to
make sure colibri and flamingo were not going to inherit from each
other.
This leaded to http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11443, I see several
possibility to close this issue:
1) won't fix, if you want a default base skin then just set it in xwiki.cfg
2) put back the default skin in xwiki.defaultbaseskin (so flamingo) in xwiki.cfg
3) force wiki skin to fallback in default skin
The issue with 3) is that it makes impossible to do a wiki skin from
scratch (why not ?).
Now that filesystem skin explicitly indicate there parent skin 2) is
not a problem anymore for them so we could put it back, I guess my +1
goes to than and that's what I will do to unlock 6.4 if there is no
answer.
I don't have a strong opinion on it since I pretty much never ever do
any wiki skin, just want to close this issue...

Hello devs,
During the past days I have started testing 6.4RC1 on multiple browsers:
IE10, IE11, Firefox & Chrome. I have been doing the manual tests listed on
the Test Reporting Wiki (http://test.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome),
a place where any user can help by doing some tests.
I know XWiki 6.4 is scheduled to be released within the next days. I will
continue with the manual tests, go through the list of bugs fixed for 6.4
and also take a look at the new features. Besides these, do you want
something else tested as well ?
Thank you,
Manuel
