| This is an ALPHA release of JSPWiki. Thus it's not really ready for |
| prime time, but you can certainly go an test it! |
| |
| Major changes since the last stable (1.8.2) release are: |
| |
| - Support for traditional WikiLinks without square brackets |
| (InterCapping, BumpyWords, CamelCase, ...) |
| |
| - Splitting of Wiki pages into "Controller" and "View" pages has |
| been done. The user-modifiable HTML templates can be found in |
| "templates/default" -directory. All functionality can now be |
| controlled using JSP tags. |
| |
| - There is a new addition to WikiLanguage: Definition lists |
| ;term;definition. You can use this to make comments, too, by using |
| an empty 'term': ;:Comment. |
| |
| - There is a new variable system, documented in WikiVariables. |
| |
| - Default Edit window background has been changed :-) |
| |
| - Many pages have had slight changes to the way they look. |
| |
| - UserPreferences now checks for username validity. |
| |
| - CachingProvider is now used by default. |
| |
| - There is now full attachment support. |
| |
| - New plugins (which can now be multiline). |
| * IndexPlugin (by Alain Ravet) |
| * Counter |
| * WeblogPlugin |
| * WeblogEntryPlugin |

| MAJOR PIECES MISSING |
| ==================== |
| |
| The JSP tags are very badly documented. |
| |
| |
| UPGRADE NOTES |
| ============= |
| |
| (NB: These notes are still incomplete). |
| |
| - If updating manually (from v1.8.x): |
| |
| * Providers now sleep in a different package. You must change your |
| "jspwiki.pageProvider" setting. |
| |
| * CachingProvider is no longer set explicitly. You must use the new |
| "jspwiki.usePageCache" property instead. |
| |
| * All HTML code should now go into *Template.jsp instead of Wiki.jsp |
| and the other main JSP pages. |
| |
| * SystemInfo.jsp is gone. Instead, there is now a page called |
| "SystemInfo". |
| |
| So, the best way to do the update is to simply save your |
| "jspwiki.properties", and "web.xml" files to some safe location, |
| DELETE your previous installation, and install it again from |
| scratch. However, after this your templates should be easily |
| modifiable, and you never again have to resort to such drastic |
| measures again... We hope. |
