207 207  XWiki now sends custom events when certain actions occur:
208 208  - <tt>xwiki:dom:loading</tt> and <tt>xwiki:dom:loaded</tt> when the document is loaded. The former is fired right after the DOM is loaded, and is supposed to be the signal that marks the start of the page's lifecycle. This is the event that should start all scripts making important DOM changes that other scripts should see. The latter is sent right after it, and is supposed to be the signal that triggers most of the scripts loaded at startup. *It is recommended to bind startup scripts to this event* instead of <tt>window.load</tt> or <tt>document.dom:loaded</tt>.
209 209  - <tt>xwiki:docextra:activated</tt> and <tt>xwiki:docextra:loaded</tt> when loading tabs for the document extra data (attachments, comments, history, etc.).

251 251  In 1.9M2 the SMTP setting (username, password, server port, and extra Javamail properties which allow to enable SSL) are easier to configure (now accessible in the Administration -&gt; General tab), and are by default visible in the wiki. Previously, they had to be manually added to the ~~XWiki.XWikiPreferences~~ class. These settings are also used with the registration confirmation email.
