Re: [xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki Enterprise 1.1 Milestone 3 Released
Hi, Vincent, hi all, I've been trying to follow the development of the new milestone by following messages sent to xwiki-dev, but I am afraid I have missed some point. A doubt that has arisen when going to download the new release: why the standalone installation file is called xwiki-enterprise-1.1-milestone-3-hsqldb.zip whereas the war file is called xwiki-web-standard-1.1-milestone-3-hsqldb.war? Why the first one is -enterprise- and the second one -web-standard-? Thanks for the great work the XWiki team is allowing us to enjoy. Hopefully we can contribute in the near future!!!

The XWiki development team team is pleased to announce the availability of the 1.1 Milestone 3 release of XWiki Enterprise Go grab it on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download Version 1.1 Milestone 3 is mostly a bug fix release. There's also been a big internal change in that XWiki has been reorganized to separate the Platform from the Products developed on top of it and a modular automated build system using Maven2 has been setup. This was done to support the multiple products that will be released in the near future: XWiki Enterprise (the current Wiki you've come to know and love), XWiki Enterprise Manager (Multi Wiki management tool), XWiki Watch (social feed reader) and more. Main changes: * Lots of bugs fixed * XWIKI-798 - XWiki does not work on Java 1.6 * XWIKI-1411 - Allow date format in footer to be customized (for Albatross and Finch skins) * XWIKI-1453 - Allow specifying the list of toolbars to display in the WYSIWYG editor * XWIKI-1355 - The page displayed by UnknownAction should be configurable * XWIKI-1410 - Configurable list of initial groups * XWIKI-1372 - Make XWiki platform GWT-ready + several other changes.

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. On 7/10/07, Ricardo Rodríguez - Your XEN ICT Team <[email protected]> wrote:
