Hi Vincent,
Thanks a lot for your answer. I was able to install the demo (through
mvnrepository.com not through the extension manager but that was not a
problem) and it works fine.
The problem with my own RNs is that the {{releasenotechanges}} macro does
not detect the changes or can't make the link between the changes I created
and the release note, so I guess (I was convinced actually) that the macro
works fine but that I do something wrong.
In fact I don't understand what parameters the macro uses to link changes /
RN.
Playing with the demo Xwiki RNs, I was able to add changes that were
immediatly displayed on the corresponding RN, but I noticed something weird
when I displayed the object page for the RN and the changes : the version
parameter is not the same...
For the changes version = 8.3-rc-1
For the RN version = 8.3RC1
(I thought the link was made on the product + version parameters.)
If I configure the version parameter for the change to 8.3RC1, the change
won't show up in the RN (8.3RC1). If I revert back to 8.3-rc-1 it appears
again. I think I am pretty close to the solution just need to know the
right parameters for the link.
Regarding multilanguage support, I am going to open a jira as soon as I can.
For the last part I need to learn a little bit more about Xwiki but will
definetely try it when I feel more confortable.
Thanks again for your help,
Yann
