Hi everyone,
The XWiki development team is proud to announce the release of XWiki 1.0
Beta 1. This is the first in a series of quick releases that will lead to
XWiki 1.0 Final.
Here are the main changes from the 0.9.x versions:
* New Skin
* Lots of usability improvements
* Importer/Exporter to import and export sets of wiki pages
* XWiki can now work with an empty database
* Pages can be tagged (not documented yet) + basic UI for viewing the tag
cloud
* New WYSIWYG editor (using Tiny MCE v2)
* New Rights editor
* New web site and updated documentation
* Improved programming APIs
* Notion of Panels (porlet-like areas which can be added in menus) + Drag
and drop Panel Wizard to easily customize the displayed Panels
(experimental, works only in Firefox)
* Standalone installer to get up to speed quickly (includes Jetty and HSQL
already set up)
* Attachments versioning
* Section edits (ability to edit only sections of a page)
See http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotes for more details
on how to migrate your existing installations.
Please note that we're sending this email to the dev list first so that we
can work together on improving the installation and migration information on
xwiki.org. Let us know about any issue you have.
Thanks

New subject: 1.0 Beta 1 issues - WYSIWYG, Panel/Blog creation, multiple instances, attachment history
Nice work on XWiki 1.0, I'm very impressed!
1) After I create a new Blog entry or Panel, I get a page that says
"This document already exists". But the new document is created without
any other problem.
2) In the WYSIWYG editor, if I highlight a word and include a leading
space (ie " word") and then format as bold, the result will be "*
word*"
instead of bold text. It works fine if there is no leading text.
3) I am sure I am not the only one running multiple wiki deployments
(e.g. /xwiki09 and /xwiki10). 1.0b1 allows me to use a web path other
than /xwiki and it will still display, but all links are directed at /xwiki.
4) There is a problem with viewing attachment revisions. I attached
logo.gif to XWiki.XWikiPreferences twice. Then I clicked "1.2" to look
at the history
(/xwiki/bin/viewattachrev/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/logo.gif). I got a
bunch of unformatted menu text that looks like leftovers from 0.9. I've
pasted the page text below.

New subject: [xwiki-dev] 1.0 Beta 1 issues - WYSIWYG, Panel/Blog creation, multiple instances, attachment history
Hello Trevor,
1) After I create a new Blog entry or Panel, I get a page that says "This
document already exists". But the new document is
created without any other
problem.
I cannot reproduce this, neither on the default XWiki installation, neither
on www.xwiki.org . Are you sure you are not trying to create a document that
really exists? Please check again with another document name.
2) In the WYSIWYG editor, if I highlight a word and include a leading space
(ie " word") and then format as bold, the
result will be "* word*" instead
of bold text. It works fine if there is no leading text.
Yes, this is correct. The syntax for bold markup has changed a bit,
requiring that no empty space exists between the starting asterisk and the
first text character. I think our WYSIWYG team forgot to implement this
change in the visual editor. Thanks for noticing this, it will be fixed in
the next beta version.
3) I am sure I am not the only one running multiple wiki deployments (e.g.
/xwiki09 and /xwiki10). 1.0b1 allows me to use a web
path other than
/xwiki and it will still display, but all links are directed at /xwiki.
You have to make a small chang for this to work: locate WEB-INF/web.xml and
change <display-name>xwiki</display-name> to match your desired application
name.
Also, when mixing xwiki versions you should take care that each version uses
its own database, since the new version might modify the database in an
backwards-incompatible way (although we take extra care regarding
backwards-compatibility).
4) There is a problem with viewing attachment revisions. I attached logo.gifto
XWiki.XWikiPreferences twice. Then I clicked
"1.2" to look at the history
(/xwiki/bin/viewattachrev/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/logo.gif). I got a bunch
of unformatted menu text that looks like leftovers from 0.9. I've pasted
the page text below.
This seems to have slipped our checks. Thanks again for noticing, it will be
fixed soon.
Good luck trying the new XWiki,
Sergiu Dumitriu

Thanks. We always like compliments ;-)

3) I am sure I am not the only one running multiple wiki deployments (e.g.
/xwiki09 and /xwiki10). 1.0b1 allows me to use a web path other than /xwiki
and it will still display, but all links are directed at /xwiki.
This is because youre deploying in Tomcat and theres a context.xml file in
META-INF/. This is a tomcat specific file telling it to deploy at /xwiki. We
need to remove this file actually. Ive created an issue for this. For now
you can just remove it or update it with the path you want. Another option
for you is to run the different versions in different instances on different
ports.
4) There is a problem with viewing attachment revisions. I attached logo.gif
to XWiki.XWikiPreferences twice. Then I clicked "1.2" to look at the history
(/xwiki/bin/viewattachrev/XWiki/XWikiPreferences/logo.gif). I got a bunch
of unformatted menu text that looks like leftovers from 0.9. I've pasted the
page text below.
Thanks
