Hello fellow developers,
I am working on upgrading our core, based on xwiki 1.5.4 to xwiki 3.2. Quite a jump.
Among the least jump, velocity seems to have jumped from version 1.5 to version 1.7.
Nonetheless, this seems to cause a surprising effect: while macros could redefine the
value of parameters they were passed, and that change was honoured after the macro, they
cannot anymore.
The following script:
#macro(redefine $var)
#set($var="redefined")
#end
#set($x="original")
x is $x
#redefine($x)
x is $x
gives the following output in a new core:
x is original
x is original
and the following in our old core:
x is original
x is redefined
This has all sorts of consequences including such macros as the navigation not receiving
the result of normalizelink...
Did I miss an optional parameter of velocity to revert to the old method?
