25 = For Developers =
26
27 == New Filter Module ==
28
29 Commons get a new base module for all streaming systems based on filters like Rendering and the coming Wiki Stream. See [[Filter Module documentation>>extensions:Extension.Filter Module]].
30
31 == JSON parsing in Velocity ==
32
33 ##$jsontool.parse('["json string"]')## can now be used to parse a serialized JSON into [[json-lib>>http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/]] [[arrays>>http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/apidocs/jdk15/net/sf/json/JSONArray.html]] or [[objects>>http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/apidocs/jdk15/net/sf/json/JSONObject.html]].
34
35 Only valid JSON strings can be parsed. JSONP is not supported. If the argument is not valid JSON, then ##null## is returned, parsing exceptions are cought.
36
37 == New Eclipse cs extension ==
38
39 [[XCOMMONS-353>>http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-353]] made our checkstyle.xml file unusable as it is in Eclipse cs because of the custom rule that could not be found in the Eclipse classpath.
40
41 ##xwiki-commons-tool-verification-resources## module is now also an Eclipse cs extension which mean you can just drop its jar in Eclipse ##plugins/## folder and you will get the XWiki checkstyle configuration listed in the standard configurations.
42
43 == Deprecated and Retired projects ==
44
45 * Google plugin (##com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.google.GooglePlugin##) has been retired, you can find it on https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/retired/tree/master/xwiki-platform-google-plugin

56
57 == Miscellaneous ==
58
59 * The way to declare the type supporter by a ##org.xwiki.properties.converter.Converter## component changed from role hint to generic type.

82 Always make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg## and ##xwiki.properties## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters were added. Note that 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.
