[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Roadmap for XE 2.5
by Sergiu Dumitriu 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi devs, I just realized that there was no official roadmap proposal for XE 2.5 yet, since Vincent, the usual release manager, is on holidays. I volunteered for performing the releases, so I'll assume the release manager role as well until Vincent returns. Proposed features for the 2.5 release: - Improved wiki dashboard - Improved edit modes UI - Office Preview - Action menu improvements (Caty, JV, Sergiu) - Export UI improvements (Caty, Sergiu) - "Email this page" feature (Sergiu) - User Directory Generic stuff: - More UI standards (avatars, icons, forms) - Improved performance - Improved security - WYSIWYG bugfixing and optimization - More 2.0 macros Possible new features: - Portlet integration (Marius) - Layout Themes (Sergiu) - Gadgets (Anca) - Wiki Import (Thomas) Proposed dates: - 2.5M1: 30 Aug - 2.5M2: 27 Sep - 2.5RC1: 11 Oct - 2.5RC2/Final: 25 Oct -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

[xwiki-devs] Status of the includeMacros macro in XE 2.4
by Luis Arias 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi, I posted http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-700 a couple of days ago and am writing now because more and more of the Balsamiq Mockups for XWiki users are attempting or would like to migrate to 2.4 but have pages with mockups embedded using #includeMacros. I'd like to know if #includeMacros is definitely not going to be supported from 2.4 onwards or if this is a bug that will be fixed at some point. We can update the plugin (already have actually) to use the recommended syntax for new mockups but still have the issue of dealing with existing pages. I would also like your thoughts on a simple workaround which ideally we could ask our users / wiki admins to do. Thanks, Luis

Great ! I like it a lot. I think Fabio's remark about the "changed status" being useless (implied) still holds. Also that user updates should somehow "stand out" compared to other entries (because it's human content vs. generated updates) that's why initially I've kept the big double quotes. Anyway those are minor tweaks, I agree with the general idea.

Cool to have a test for this, thanks Alex. However I think that in the near future we need to find a way to write these type of tests as unit tests instead of functional tests since otherwise we're going to have too many functional tests, which will lead to the following problems: - take a lot of time to execute (and hence are not executed often + need more machines, etc) - are hard to debug when they fail (since they're not unit tests) - do not make us improve the design of the code WDYT? Thanks -Vincent PS: I haven't looked at this example in particular and my comment is general. Maybe this is testing old code which would need some heavy refactoring before we can write a unit test for it.

IMO we'll need to find a better place than Util for this since Util is meant to be deprecated and we should slim it down instead.

[xwiki-devs] [Contrib] Log Application
by Flavius Olaru 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Hi devs, I would like to contribute on svn an application i have developed that logs messages from velocity and groovy code blocks. It uses XWiki objects and does not require changes in XE installation to work. Only requires PR rights for groovy scripts to work. Currently the application can be found at http://flavius.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Log/. I only require commit rights to contrib sandbox to get started. SVN username: flavius Thanks, -- XWiki SAS Web Developer Flavius Olaru
