Seems to me that there has been an agreement to revert to the old behavior
has soon as possible, but I do not see the link with XWiki 3.2.1 release ?

Thanks in advance,

-0, this is for me useless, since I doubt many understand that and have

So you propose to get back to previous behavior
by default, right ?
Given the fact that it has been changed very recently maybe we should
have the property false right away and say it was a mistake ?
I agree.

This is needed since there are use cases both resolve=current and
resolve=source for the include macro. Once again the context param has
nothing to do with how links/images are resolved. And again the writer
of a

I am still -1 on this last point. First, it is precisely because it is difficult to understand the differences between
the context and the
resolve
parameter that I am against it. I repeat myself,
but not having the same
behavior between $doc.getURL() and [[ ]] is for me not acceptable, since
the
included document author could no more count on the equality of these to
resolution methods. If I have been aware of that change in 3.x I would
have
veto it already.
Moreover, if the writer of the included document is the not the writer of
the including document, he would be better if he could stay in control of
how links/image are accessed, protecting the way its own document works,
and
not leaving this to the including document author. This is why I have
proposed to move the resolve parameter on individual links, which is more
flexible and understandable.
Currently, AFAIK, during an {{include}} (without context=new), using
velocity, the included document do not have an easy access to itself
(without knowing its own name), but you want this possibility for links ?
and you want it globally ? This seems to me curious that something
difficult
to do by code would be easy by syntax.
If you still want to convince me, please explain why you need $doc and
relative links to diverge, especially without the included document
author
to be aware of this. What cannot you do with
{{display}} that would be
possible by {{include resolve=source}}; and that would not be better
served
by giving the control to the included document
author ?

Some additional notes:
* The person writing a page is not necessarily the same as the person
writing an
include.
* With the new sheet mechanism there are a lot
less use cases for the
include in compatibility mode.
Please vote again.
Here's my +1
+1 (with the previous note)
Thanks

Here's a
use case: you have a sheet document that
references an image called
image.png and you want that the including document provides it (like an
Abstract in Java! ;)).

It'll be located in the new display

Using resolve=current means

you want
the links/attachments resolved against the including document.
