15 | == New Template-based page creation == | ||
16 | |||
17 | Starting with this release users and applications can provide documents that can be used as template when creating a new page. The new document (content, objects and other metadata) will be replicated from the template. | ||
18 | |||

29 | == New Invitation Manager application == | ||
30 | |||
31 | The Invitation Manager application allows users to send emails, inviting friends and colleagues to join a wiki. You will be able to configure your wiki to send emails through an open mail relay on the server or through an email account of your choosing. | ||
32 | |||
33 | An invitation may allow users to register in a wiki where registration is forbidden. Invitees may choose to accept or decline an invitation. Spam prevention measures ensure that email recipients will have a button to report that message as abuse. | ||
34 | |||
35 | Internationalized and configurable email templates generate rich HTML email content from user input. | ||

75 | |||
76 | == General Notes == | ||
77 | |||
78 | {{warning}} | ||
79 | 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 //xwiki.store.migration.databases=db1,db2,...//. | ||
80 | {{/warning}} | ||
81 | |||
82 | You may also want to [[import the default wiki XAR>>Main.Download]] in order to benefit from the improvements listed above. | ||
83 | |||
84 | {{warning}} | ||
85 | Always make sure you compare your //xwiki.cfg// file with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. 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. | ||
