Welcome to the stable version of Apache JSPWiki 2.9.0-incubating! Apache JSPWiki 2.9.0-incubating is the first JSPWiki which is not only released completely under the Apache License 2.0, but which is also an official Apache release from within the Apache Incubator. Please report any issues at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI UPDATES SINCE 2.8.4 =================== Details are available in the ChangeLog file or via our issue tracker. Highlights include: * The java packages have been renamed from com.ecyrd.jspwiki to org.apache.wiki. * Support external properties in WikiEngine (idea from John McKinney) You can now override individual properties in jspwiki.properties using standard Java System properties. * Extended the list of file suffixes indexable for the integrated Lucene search engine. We now do ".txt", ".ini", ".xml", ".html", "htm", ".mm", ".htm", ".xhtml", ".java", ".c", ".cpp", ".php", ".asm", ".sh", ".properties", ".kml", ".gpx", ".loc" UPDATES SINCE 2.8.3 =================== The full list is available in the ChangeLog file.

Highlights include * Improved logging * JDK6 compilation support * Brazilian Portuguese translation, thanks to Paulo Amaral * Addition of new PageViewPlugin * Numerous bugfixes, esp. in sorting. NEW FEATURES SINCE 2.6.x ======================== * JSPWiki now requires JDK 1.5 to run. * Simplified Chinese, Dutch, Italian and Russian localizations added! * There is no more need for JAAS files! Hooray! This has been replaced with custom jspwiki properties. Please see the UPGRADING document. * Massive improvements to the default template, like section editing. * Sneak preview in the default editor * WikiWizard is removed (it is LGPL), but FCK integration is available, and WikiWizard can still be installed as a separate package. * German, Finnish, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Dutch language corepages * Support for the UniversalEditButton (http://universaleditbutton.org/). * Password hashes are now salted. This means you can't share the passwords if you have JSPWiki 2.6 instances, as the passwords are upgraded transparently. The full log of any issues fixed can be found at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310732&styleName=Html&version=12312864 Please also see http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/NewIn2.8 UPGRADE NOTES ============= Please see the UPGRADING document in this same directory. EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES ===================== There are some features in this release which could mostly be considered experimental at best. The following ones are known to work only partially: * WebDAV support. This is known to be broken on pretty many levels... * Admin interface. Check out /admin/Admin.jsp. KNOWN PROBLEMS ============== * WebDAV does not yet support the new authentication/permissions scheme. Therefore, if you have very sensitive data in your wiki, you might not want to enable it. * Not all old plugins work. Specifically any plugins, which construct new WikiPages will fail because of the constructor has been changed. * The PageFilter API was changed in 2.6 * Our documentation simply sucks at this point. Please forgive us, and point where those fixes are needed. We will improve upon based your input. * The ShortURLConstructor does not work reliably. Please use ShortViewURLConstructor, or Apache mod_rewrite. * Running with a security manager isn't yet supported (see JSPWIKI-129).
