The LaTeX Extension 1.26 has been released. In previous versions, the captions used for the "list of figures"/"list of tables" entries were converted to plain text.

XWiki SAS announces the release of the first XWiki LLM application (BETA), funded by NGI Search. The app integrates AI-powered functionalities directly into your wiki instance, bringing content generation, translation, and intelligent knowledge retrieval to your fingertips. To facilitate this, we’ve integrated a chatbot inside XWiki that allows you to ask any question about the information in your wiki, receiving answers based on our Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) system. Additionally, the LLM app offers you flexibility and control over your data through the chosen model, ensuring that your sensitive information remains private and secure.

The OpenID Connect Extension 2.13.0 has been released. It introduces a new tokens manager in the user profile, allowing users to delete tokens/consents that were associated with them during an OpenID Connect authenticator. More importantly, it makes it a lot easier to directly create new tokens that you can then use in an application to manipulate the XWiki REST API without the need to pass your user:password in the HTTP request.

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 16.8.0. This release contains a new way to insert links for page not yet existing from the WYSIWYG editor, complying with the configured name strategy in the wiki. It also brings various UI improvements such as a better icon picker, better contrast in paragraph edition buttons, and updated icons for attachment uploads. Last but not least this release contains a first implementation of the "Supported By" extension concept for administrators. The release also includes lots of bug fixes and security fixes, with the highest severity being 9.1/10. See the release notes for more information.

The LaTeX Extension 1.25.3 has been released. This is a bugfix release, fixing a regression with the message macros (info, warning, error, success) when installed on XWiki 16.7+. It also now fixes the display of a title when it's used with the messages macros.

The LaTeX Extension 1.25.2 has been released. This is a bugfix release.

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 16.7.1. This release is a bug fix release. It's especially fixing an important performance regression on any UNIX system on which /dev/random is slow. See the release notes for more information.
