5 First and last milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 2.1 version ([[Roadmap>>Main.Roadmap]]).
6
7 This release is mostly a bugfix and stabilization release with one important new feature: re-design of the Action menus (see below).
8
9 = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki Enterprise 2.0.3) =
10
11 * Re-design of the actions menus:

18 ** The user action menu now allows to manager the user's watchlist.(((
19 [[image:menu4.png]]
20 )))
21 ** Reorganized the page level actions (there's now a "More Actions" menu) and the action to watch the current page is moved on the right.(((
22 [[image:menu5.png]] [[image:menu6.png]] [[image:menu7.png]]
23 )))
24 ** Added back the ability to view the source of a page
25 ** Note that the new top level menu (Wiki and Space actions) is a good entry point in the future for providing navigation between wikis in a wiki farm.
26
27 * New renderer for mathematical formulae based on the Google Chart APIs (see the [[Formula Macro Documentation>>extensions:Extension.Formula.Formula Macro.WebHome]]).
28 * Added PHP support through the new [[PHP Macro>>extensions:Extension.PHP Macro]] (note that this Macro is not bundled by default, you'll need to install it).
29 * Lots of improvements and bugfixes in order to conform to the [[Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Content_Accessibility_Guidelines]].
30 * Macro parameter pretty names are now displayed in the WYSIWYG
31 * WYSIWYG editor performance improvement (Minimize and aggregate WYSIWYG editor stylesheets at build time to reduce the number of HTTP requests)
32 * Upgraded to JbossCache 3.2.1GA version
33 * Upgraded to Groovy 1.7 Beta 2
34 * Lots of bugs fixes

40 = Backward Compatibility and Migration Notes =
41
42 == General Notes ==
43
44 {{warning}}
45 If you're running in a multiwiki setup you'll also need to define the property //xwiki.store.migration.databases=all// to your //xwiki.cfg// file or explicitly name all databases to be migrated as in <tt>xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,...//.
46 {{/warning}}
47
48 You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from improvements listed above.
49
50 {{warning}}
51 Always make sure you compare your //xwiki.cfg// file with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Of note, you should add //xwiki.store.migration=1// so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.
52 {{/warning}}
53
54 == Migration Notes ==
55
56 * The CSS for the Search Panel has been modified to apply to the CLASS attributes ##globalsearch## and ##globalsearchinput## (See [[XSCOLIBRI-85>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XSCOLIBRI-85]] for more details). As a result you'll need to reimport the Panels.Search panel (from the XE XAR for example) in your wiki or the search panel will not be displayed correctly.
57
58 == API Breakages ==

60 The following APIs were modified since XWiki Enterprise 2.0.3:
