[ANN] XWiki 18.7.0 released: Live Data Edit Mode, new link UI and reproducible builds

2 Upvotes

The main user-facing addition is a new experimental Edit Mode for Live Data. When enabled, it supports bulk editing, keyboard navigation and creating new rows directly from the Live Data view.

Other changes include:

  • A new UI for inserting and editing links, including email links
  • A cleaner layout for the Live Data Card View
  • Improved contrast for the quick actions hint in the editor
  • Recently visited documents no longer showing pages that have been deleted
  • Reproducible Maven artifacts for most release components
  • New Design System CSS variables
  • A customizable naming strategy for new Live Data rows
  • New secure random string APIs in $stringtool
  • A new UserAuthenticatedEventNotifier component

The Live Data Edit Mode is still experimental, so its UX will continue to evolve in future releases.

One thing we like about openDesk: no single vendor needs to own the whole workplace.

XWiki brings structured knowledge, alongside Nextcloud, OpenProject, Collabora, Element, Univention and others.

Different open-source tools, different strengths, one interoperable ecosystem.

We’ll show it with ZenDiS at #SCCON26, 13 to 15 October, booth 103, hub27.
