[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Drop support for Internet Explorer 10/11 + Adding support for Edge
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 19 Oct '17

19 Oct '17

Hi devs, This mail is about: A. Dropping support for IE10 B. Dropping support for IE11 C. Adding support for Microsoft Edge --- If you read our Browser Support Strategy ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BrowserSupportStrategy ) we are still supporting Internet Explorer 10. We started its support since Jun 17, 2015. In practice we don't perform full tests on IE10, focusing mostly on IE11. The last performed tests for IE10 where in Jan 2017, for XWiki 8.4.4 ( http://test.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/QA/XWiki%208.4.4#|t=qa&p=1&l=15&s=test… ). On another note, Microsoft Edge replaced Internet Explorer as the default web browser since the release of Windows 10 (launched Jul 2015). Internet Explorer 11 is maintained on Windows 10 for compatibility purposes, but is deprecated in favor of Edge and is no longer actively developed. Instead of supporting "Internet Explorer 10.x-Latest" + "We support IE browsers, starting with version 10." we actually should say (in case the vote is passing) "Internet Explorer 11 + Microsoft Edge". We might even considered dropping support for IE 11 and just keep Microsoft Edge, since that's the latest version of Windows supported browser. Although, IE11 currently still has a better usage than Microsoft Edge. I could not found any performed tests for Microsoft Edge on our test wiki. --- In terms of xwiki.org website usage for the past 12 months, we have: - 5.46% sessions for Internet Explorer -- IE11: 91.50% -- IE10: 2.80% - 1.43% sessions for Edge (multiple versions) In terms of worldwide market share for the past 12 months (according to http://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/ ), for desktops, we have: - 8.21% IE - 4.3% Edge Usage example for August 2017: - 7.1% for IE11 - 2.26% for Edge 15 - 1.37% for Edge 14 - 0.2% for Edge 13 --- So my votes are: A. Dropping support for IE10 +1 B. Dropping support for IE11 -0, because of bigger usage compared to Microsoft Edge. Still, I don't think we have the man-power to support tests on both browsers types. C. Adding support for Microsoft Edge +1, because this is the latest supported browser for Windows Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] Creation of transformation
by Sarthak Gupta 15 Oct '17

15 Oct '17

Hello, As the tests of my project application-glossary <https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-glossary> are not working, in spite of my attempts(I will handle then later), I am moving on to implementing the next feature of the application i.e creating transformation. As far as I understand, the transformation requires a cache component from which entries shall be taken for rendering purpose. This cache should get updated when a glossary xobject is added, deleted or modified. For this functionality to take place, it should make use of an Event Listener. Hope I am right till now? I have a question in my mind. The "cache" and the "event Listener" are to be implemented as two separate components. right? What I think is, that the EventListener component should be filled with appropriate methods just like this <https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi…> and then in these methods, the cache should be updated. Is this implementation right? And after this, the rendering part will come.... Thanks Sarthak Gupta

06 Oct '17

Hello, I am testing my project application-glossary. My tests are failing again https://pastebin.com/Ww28QHzB. Can anyone please help me? In general, how to read and use stack traces for debugging/removing errors? I am not pretty good at this. I mean, in this stack trace also there are so many errors with the same name like "XWikiLogOutputStream". Which line to look? How to find where am I going wrong? application-glossary <https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-glossary> Thanks Sarthak Gupta

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Release xwiki-commons and xwiki-rendering directly on Maven Central
by Thomas Mortagne 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Hi devs, To remove a big step from the release I would like to modify a bit our setup and deploy released xwiki-commons and xwiki-rendering artifacts on Maven Central instead of nexus.xwiki.org/maven.xwiki.org. PRO: * speed up releases * less stuff to store on our side * only one artifact for a specific version (right now they are built twice which produce two different JARs in pratice) CONS: * depends more on Maven Central In practice we already depend on Maven Central for many things so if Maven Central ever end up dead the fact that we don't have the artifact on our side is going to be the least of our issues :) So WDYT ? +1 on my side -- Thomas Mortagne
