Thanks indeed, Sergiu.

 

I think I can get the point. Thus, to migrate from a milestone-1 installation it will enough to download xwiki-web-standard-1.1-milestone-3-hsqldb.war, deply it and point the installation to the existing database. xwiki-application-panels-1.1-milestone-3.xar could content pages that allow to take advantage of the new M3 features, so I must take a look to its contents and upload those pages being used in the former installation. Please, is this correct? If yes, could it be advisable to include a link to xwiki-web-standard-1.1-milestone-3-hsqldb.war in http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise11M3? Something like...

 

"There have been no changes to the database structure so you can simply install this version and configure it to point to your existing database. However you may want to import the default wiki XAR in order to benefit from improvements listed above. You'll find above the list of pages that have been modified so you can restrict your import to those pages if you're already using a XWiki 1.0 XAR."

 

By the way, the word "platform" is used with two different meanings in the download page: one refers to the framework on which XWiki may be run and the other to the "base" XWiki components by themselves. As far as the first meaning mostly refers to operative systems, could it be advisable to change this table heading to Operative System instead of Platform?

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Ricardo

This reflects the new structure of the repository, and the separation
of the "old" xwiki into different parts/modules.

So, there are 3 major parts that can be seen:

- xwiki-platform-core is the java platform that works behind the scene
(the model and controller in MVC). It does not contain any
presentational templates or documents. In the final package this
contributes most of the WEB-INF directory, except some configuration
files.

- xwiki-web-standard (or xwiki-platform-web/standard, as it is in the
repository) adds the view part (templates, static files,
stylesheets...). In the final .war this contributes all the other
directories except most of WEB-INF. Still, this does not contain any
documents. Together with the core, it can be used as the basis for any
XWiki product, like XWiki Enterprise, XWiki Watch or Curriki.

- xwiki-enterprise (or xwiki-products-enterprise) is now a product
built on top of the XWiki platform, and adds only the documents that
can be seen in a fresh XWiki. You can still build a war without this
module, but it will not contain any users, classes, templates, plain
documents or applications. It can also be deployed as a standalone
application, containing everything needed to run XWiki (container,
database, webapp, scripts to start/stop the container).

Actually there are more modules, but you can look at the svn structure
to see them all.
