The month also expanded test coverage and reinforced security/compliance through dependency updates and hardening of common data paths.

In March 2025, the xwiki-platform team delivered a focused set of dependency upgrades, observability improvements, API enhancements, and targeted bug fixes that collectively improved stability, performance, and developer productivity. Key upgrades included Testcontainers 1.20.6, jsoup 1.19.1, Calcite 1.39.0, Jetty standalone packaging (12.0.17/12.0.18) with Jetty Client 10.0.25, Selenium 4.30.0, Ukrainian Morfologik dictionaries to 6.5.6 (and 6.6.0), Docker Java 3.4.2, and MariaDB connector 3.5.3, ensuring compatibility with modern ecosystems and CI reliability. Notable platform/API enhancements covered Script Document API to remove attachments and a DocumentModelBridge API to check for document existence, alongside macro content preparation improvements (Code Macro and Wiki Macro Content Preparation). Observability also improved through added access logs to the jetty/hsqldb packaging, enabling faster issue diagnosis. Major bugs fixed include nondeterministic compression metadata in xwikircs, an error about an unexpected token when the statistics module is enabled, REST and cache integrity issues around attachment deletion and annotation, the prepared XDOM lifecycle problem, and macro/document handling edge cases that previously caused UX and data inconsistencies. Overall, these efforts reduce risk in CI/CD, improve data integrity, and expand platform capabilities for content authors and developers.

February 2025 — Delivered a strategic set of platform upgrades, reliability fixes, and quality improvements across xwiki-platform and xwiki-rendering, delivering tangible business value through safer upgrade paths, better performance, and stronger test coverage.
