The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki
9.8.
This release introduces a new feature for the Notifications: Watched
Entities. It is an experimental feature that will soon replace the
Watchlist Application. To try it out and get familiar with it, you need to
enable it, since it is currently disabled by default.
For users, we now have more usable notification filter settings, a nice
helper when you edit a "Database List" field and a feature that was missing
from the CKEditor integration, which is office import.
For developers, it is easier to propose an extension containing REST
resources, or to customize the Flamingo LESS code. We have also exposed
more database columns in the Query Module for users who don't have
programming rights. The notification filters AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)
proposes new types of nodes to create complex filter queries. There are
also new facilities to avoid using SyntaxFactory, to make Extension Manager
faster, or to have more control over some skin elements (CSS IDs and layout
variables).

Hi devs,
I’d like to implement this process:
* When we discover a flaky test, we create a jira issue for it and we fill a custom field to indicate in a structured manner the name of the test class and test method (e.g. using the “<class name>#<method name>” format).
* When a test fails, our Jenkins pipeline script verifies if it’s listed in jira and if so, doesn’t send a mail but marks it in the UI (same as when we detect environment-related false positives).
Let me know quickly if you don’t like it since I’m adding the custom field to jira as I’d like to progress on the scrjpt.
Thanks

Hi,
I finally got the time to make another iteration for these comparison
pages.
If anyone want to make modifications on the texts, they are available at:
- http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Compare/
- http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Compare/XWiki-vs-Confluence/
- http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Compare/XWiki-vs-MediaWiki/
They should look like:
- Compare:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/XWikiOrg2017/preview_Co…
- XWiki vs. Confluence:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/XWikiOrg2017/preview_Co…
- XWiki vs. MediaWiki:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/XWikiOrg2017/preview_Me…
I'm curious to know what you think about this version in terms of layout,
validate the content, maybe you have other points that we can compare the
solutions on, maybe I wrote something wrong for the solutions.
Let me know,
Caty

Hi devs,
Caty and I would like to work on improving xwiki.org and the first big items that we’d like to do is:
* Move all content from platform.xwiki.org & enterprise.xwiki.org to xwiki.org (i.e. the main wiki)
* When moving pages, use redirects
* Deprecate platform.xwiki.org & enterprise.xwiki.org by adding a banner (After Header UIX)
* Move all pages to 3 locations on the main wiki: Documentation.UserGuide, Documentation.DevGuide and Document.AdminGuide
* We also replace “XWiki Enterprise” with “XWiki” and be as generic as possible
WDYT?
Thanks

Hi guys,
Reminder: we have an event calendar on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Events
It’s using google calendar and we need to all contribute to it to add all the known XWiki events to it.
Committers should be granted edit rights already for most of them (if you don’t have the rights let me know and I’ll add you).
Thanks

Hi devs,
I’ve been thinking how to automate testing of various XWiki configurations and I’ve come up with an architecture that I’ve published in a blog post:
https://twitter.com/vmassol/status/909685486108708865
Let me know what you think and if you’d like to see this in action! :)
Also, if you’re interested in participating let me know and we can share the workload.
Thanks
