The XWiki Development team is proud to announce the second release of the 4.x cycle. This release brings Extension Manager improvements such as merging of configuration documents during extension upgrade, a more gentle learning curve by hiding internal documents from non-technical users, and lots of goodies for the developers such as easy sharing of variables between scripts in different languages. Download it hot off the press: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download Other new and notable features include: * Message sender macro for allowing users to send to the activity stream from any location. * Global and per-user timezone settings * Script access to load dependencies from the core using the Component Manager * Smarter velocity interpretation converts allows strings to be passed to methods which take enums * Stop run-away scripts after a configurable timeout * Shorthand HQL queries in the Query Manager

For a full list with examples and explanations, check out the release notes: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterpris… Thanks everyone who contributed to make the 4.1 cycle a success.

Note that a bug has just been found that makes pretty much impossible to install an extension containing an attachment trough Extension Manager administration. Sorry about that, this will be fixed very quickly and I think we will have to release a 4.1.1 version shortly. WDYT ?
