[xwiki-devs] [ANN] XWiki 9.8 released
by Eduard Moraru 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 9.8. This release introduces a new feature for the Notifications: Watched Entities. It is an experimental feature that will soon replace the Watchlist Application. To try it out and get familiar with it, you need to enable it, since it is currently disabled by default. For users, we now have more usable notification filter settings, a nice helper when you edit a "Database List" field and a feature that was missing from the CKEditor integration, which is office import. For developers, it is easier to propose an extension containing REST resources, or to customize the Flamingo LESS code. We have also exposed more database columns in the Query Module for users who don't have programming rights. The notification filters AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) proposes new types of nodes to create complex filter queries. There are also new facilities to avoid using SyntaxFactory, to make Extension Manager faster, or to have more control over some skin elements (CSS IDs and layout variables). You can download it here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download Make sure to review the release notes: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/Data/XWiki/9.8 Thanks for your support -The XWiki dev team

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Process for handling flaky tests
by Vincent Massol 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Hi devs, I’d like to implement this process: * When we discover a flaky test, we create a jira issue for it and we fill a custom field to indicate in a structured manner the name of the test class and test method (e.g. using the “<class name>#<method name>” format). * When a test fails, our Jenkins pipeline script verifies if it’s listed in jira and if so, doesn’t send a mail but marks it in the UI (same as when we detect environment-related false positives). Let me know quickly if you don’t like it since I’m adding the custom field to jira as I’d like to progress on the scrjpt. Thanks -Vincent

Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-users] [Proposal] Comparing XWiki to MediaWiki and Confluence on xwiki.org
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

Hi, I finally got the time to make another iteration for these comparison pages. If anyone want to make modifications on the texts, they are available at: - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Compare/ - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Compare/XWiki-vs-Confluence/ - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Compare/XWiki-vs-MediaWiki/ They should look like: - Compare: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/XWikiOrg2017/preview_Co… - XWiki vs. Confluence: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/XWikiOrg2017/preview_Co… - XWiki vs. MediaWiki: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/XWikiOrg2017/preview_Me… I'm curious to know what you think about this version in terms of layout, validate the content, maybe you have other points that we can compare the solutions on, maybe I wrote something wrong for the solutions.
