Hi,
I'm getting closer to make a new release of xwiki, so I'd like to make a
code freeze until I make this release.
There are quite a lot of changes in this version.. Here is a short list
of the changes:
Features that were missing:
- view older versions with objects within
- rollback verison
- possibility to delete only a translation
- possibility to reference an internal anchor
Fixes
- fixes for diff exceptions
- delete a default translations now also deletes all translations
- enhancement to the PDF output
- fixes for included Velocity Macros not working on first execution
- fixes for form templates if you wait too much to fill in the form
New Features
- Table of Content
- Locking
- LDAP Authentication
- Many new plugins:
- Mail can read mail from POP3 and IMAP
- LDAP can read and search LDAP repositories
- Flickr can read the Flickr database
- Feed can read and cache RSS and Atom feeds
- Google can search google
- GraphViz can show GraphViz diagrams
- some other web services more for demo than real usage
(TerraServer, AdWords, etc..)
- Improvements to the Calendar Plugin (can show ICS files as an XWiki
calendar and output a ICS file from an XWiki calendar)
- LifeBlog compatibility

Apparently I sent this to the wrong list first - I just went off the
information on the wiki site..

Hello,
I've been looking for a wiki both for my personal use as a private
knowledge db and business use for the company I work for. Currently
we use the well-known phpWiki, which is fine in many respects but lack
1) attachments and 2) access restrictions which are crucial in both of
my uses. I stumbled across xwiki, installed it and it looks somewhat
promissing thus far. A few questions comes to mind:
1. Since the latest release is dated back in january, I'm wondering if
it is still being actively developed? How many are working on it?
2. I'm seeing a lot of errors in the log regarding xwiki's use of the
hibernate package; mostly assertion failures, 'Exception while
deleting object', nonthreadsafe access to session, ...
3. I'm also seeing these errors for every page every time:
05:36:40,456 WARN http-8080-Processor17
http://10.255.1.1:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome
XWikiStatsServiceImpl:addCookie:466 - Setting cookie

path / and maxage -136366

6288D7442AD591E4FED5FE4670386255 for request with cookie
BPKBLIBSZICKFADT4TP9DBNFRR4EAKJY
4. I'm a little confused about the access rights as they work right
now. Basicly what I'm looking for is being able have a bunch of
people devided into groups like 'sysadmins', 'sales' and 'support' -
for example. The sysadmins will have a private place to store
information about network configuration, fileservers, passwords, etc..
the sales people will read and update productinformation, notes about
customers, ... and the support people can see status reports from the
sysadmins but obviously not access sensetive information from
sysadmins or sales. Is this possible today? When I was trying to
make the wiki totally private, the only thing that happened was the
layout was screwed up, but the content was accessible.. what is the
difference between Space rights/prefs and Wiki rights/prefs btw?
The only 'major' drawback I've seen so far is that it seems really
slow... I don't know if that is because of the errors above or
something else. In any case, I think it has good potential and is
something I might like to contribute to. Is there a development
roadmap of sorts?
Thanks for listening :-)

Are you sure all these jars are redistributable? I know for sure that Java
mail isn't (because we had the same issue in Maven land). What this means is
that anyone checking out xwiki will get the Jar even though they have not
downloaded it from Sun and not accepted its license...
It might be best to find some javamail alternative. Here are some:
- commons-net for example, but it's a lightweight version and it won't do
any fancy things
- GNU Javamail:
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/javamail/javamail.html
- Tiger JMail: http://tjmail.sourceforge.net/ (but old and does not seem
maintained)
Thanks

Hi,
I think it might be interesting to have an integration with wikipedia where
words found on wiki pages could be highlighted and when the mouse is moved
over them, a popup box could open and display the wikipedia information.
This integration is done in Trillian IRC and it's quite nice (see attached
screenshot). I'm not sure how useful it is though but it's cool nonetheless
and shows an example of web service integration (in the loose sense).
In order to be performant it would have to be done in a separate thread
though and the underlining should probably be done independently of the
page's rendering (using javascript).
Maybe an idea for a xwiki hackathon?

Hi there,
Can someone tell me why I'm not able to see the comments added to the
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiDownload page? It says there
are 34 comments but I don't see them at the bottom. I'm able to see comments
from other pages though.
Thanks
-Vincent

Hi,
email notification of builds now works as you have seen and the past
emails have been freed and sent to the list.
Each time there is a commit a build is going to happen and a
notification is sent to the list.
Builds are not failed on failed tests, so you should check on the web
site if there are any tests that fail.
There are still around 10 tests that fail for almost valid reasons. One
of the tasks I'm on is to investigate each one of them to see if it is a
setup issue or if the test is known to fail.
Known to fail tests should probably show a different message or be put
in comments.
This way we can turn on failure on tests.
