For Users

New Experimental Image Dialog

 
The WYSIWYG editor has a new (experimental) image dialog that simplifies the insertion and edition of images. The new dialog is currently disabled by default but you can enable it from the WYSIWYG Editor section in the Wiki Administration: look for 'xwiki-image' in the drop down of disabled CKEditor plugins and uncheck it then save.

The new image dialog is integrated with the Image Style Administration section so users can apply image styles defined by an administrator. Checkout the CKEditor Integration documentation for more information.

Display image ids in the Lightbox

 
Users can now copy to the image ID (which is either manually added using the Id Macro, or automatically generated) to clipboard from the lightbox menu or from the image toolbar, without the need to open the lightbox. From the image toolbar, users can also get the direct link to the image, which can then be shared easily.

Miscellaneous

  • Temporary Attachments: Starting with this release the files uploaded through the WYSIWYG editor (e.g. when inserting an image or when dropping a file on the editing area) are not saved right away as page attachments. Instead, they become temporary attachments that are saved (linked to the edited page) only when the content of the WYSIWYG editor is saved by the user. This means for instance that when creating a new page, uploading a file doesn't create the page anymore. The user needs to click on the Save button to create the page. Of course, the Cancel button is now behaving as expected: any file uploaded since the last save is discarded along with all the unsaved content changes.

For Admins

Image Style Administration

 
An Image Style Administration is now available. This interface allows to define standardized image styles that will later be used by the New Experimental Image Dialog to quickly define the appearance of images. 

Miscellaneous

  • Change the default font size used by the Formula macro: It is now possible to set the default font size to be used by the formula macro using the configuration key macro.formula.defaultFontSize. See the formula macro documentation to learn more.
