XWiki.com upgraded to 0.9.1252

[Ludovic Dubost]

Hi,

We have just upgrade xwiki.com to version 0.9.1252 (available on 
ObjectWeb). If you are users of XWiki.com and you see anything special 
that could be caused by the upgrade, please contact us at 
support-en at xwiki.com
Version 1252 has many changes under the hood and some in the user 
interface. The main changes from  a user/admin perspective are:

- the new WYSIWYG editor which is compatible with Wiki syntax.
- the Rights page which now contains select fields

The WYSIWYG Editor is still in beta state. It is not activated by 
default but can be called using the "switch to WYSIWYG Editor" link in 
the edit page. You can activate the wysiwyg editor by default in the 
XWiki Preferences in the "editor" section.

Under the hood, maybe other changes are now available including better 
performance by generating less queries to the database. New plugins and 
APIs are also available for programmers. We will talk more about these a 
little later when we officially release this version.

We are now working to integrate:

- AntiSpam measures (using JCaptcha)
- as a new registration and invitation system which should be more easy 
to use and flexible.
- editing by sections

We will of course all fix any bugs in the features of 1252 and work is 
also in progress for a new layout and skin.

Ludovic
