Issues resolved or improved in this milestone since Milestone 3

Macro Browser (in Markup Editor)

The Macro Browser is now available in the wiki markup editor! Features are listed below.

Browse Macros

You can now browse through a list of categorised macros and select a macro to insert. Macros that do not have categories define can be found in the 'All' categories tab. To insert a macro, you can either double click on the macro or click it once and then click the 'Next' button.

Insert Macro

For macros that have parameter metadata defined, you will see parameter labels and descriptions with the appropriate input fields. So far we are handling boolean and select-one-from-list type parameters. Everything else is considered a string. Please note that there is no field validation.

For macros that don't have the parameter metadata defined, you will see a single input field for the macro parameters and its notation guide help (if any) below.

Preview Macro

A default preview will be loaded only if the macro doesn't have required parameters. The preview can be updated by clicking on the 'Preview' button. This button location will change in the future.

Edit Macro

You can also edit a macro by placing your cursor in the start tag of a macro and then clicking the Macro Browser icon. It should display the 'Insert X Macro' page with it's parameters populated.

Known Issues

Community

Several major community features have their debut in this milestone.

Status

This milestone, we are releasing the first version of the Status feature. There is still a lot of work to be done, it's not particularly polished but we want your feedback.

First of all, set your status from the user menu, where you'll get a dialog box allowing you to enter your new status.

You can see your status and others' statuses from user hover, under the "Status List" option in user profiles, the "Favourite People" tab (see below), personal space sidebar (see below).

Follow

Marking another user as "favourite" is now meaningful. In milestone 5, you'll be able to get a list of statuses from the people you follow.

Check out the "Favourite People" tab in your user profile – you can get there via your user menu.

It will show you who you're following, and who's following you. You can also quickly follow someone with the user search, and see a list of status updates from the people you follow.

Personal Space Sidebar

With this release, we now have some structured form of a user profile for every user. On the right of any personal space*, there'll be a sidebar with various details of the person's space you're viewing. Don't worry, you can easily collapse the sidebar and it'll shift out of sight. Once you collapse the sidebar, it will stay collapsed for all personal spaces for the duration of your login session.

Here's what it looks like:

We plan to put more information on the sidebar, at the moment it looks a little silly if the user doesn't have a status set and hasn't filled out any of the extra profile fields we added last milestone.

This only works in the Default Theme.

Known Issues

Bugfixes

There are two relevant bug fixes in this milestone:

• Configuration to prevent anonymous users accessing user profile information (CONF-13276)
• Cannot insert links with Unicode characters in the URL (CONF-12707).

Engine Room

The Engine Room team has delivered one more performance improvement and a significant security improvement this milestone:

• Attachment retrieval should cache attachment IDs (CONF-14422)
• Anti-XSS mode is now enabled by default (CONF-12573).

We also fixed the regression in the previous milestone (M4) where pages with thousands of attachment versions brought all attachment retrievals to a grinding halt.
