| |
| This is the first alpha release of JSPWiki 2.6. As such, this is to be |
| considered unstable, but feature-complete. |
| |
| Do not deploy in a production environment, unless you are absolutely sure |
| of what you are doing. However, things you *can* be doing are e.g. donating |
| localizations, testing browser and servlet container compatibility, etc. |
| |
| Bugs should go to bugs.jspwiki.org instead of the JSPWiki bug tracker. |
| |
| NEW FEATURES |
| ============ |
| |
| * JSPWiki source code requires JDK 1.5 to compile, though it should |
| still run under JDK 1.4. |
| |
| * Workflow packages (e.g. for moderating page edits) |
| |
| * Internationalization |
| |
| * Spaces in wikinames are now allowed for a more natural-looking page content. |
| However, this does not break existing links - but names with spaces are |
| preferred. |
| |
| * Support for new link target types, e.g. [cool link|http://google.com|target='_blank'] |
| to open the link in a new window. |
| |
| * SisterSites support |
| |
| * Local security policies - no more need to use a global security policy |
| to configure JSPWiki security! |
| |
| * Improved SpamFilter, including Captcha support (currently only supports ASIRRA) |
| |
| * Far improved FCK WYSIWYG editor support |
| |
| * All new default template with all sorts of awesome goodies, such as upload |
| progress indicator, etc! |
| |
| * No more JAR signing! Unfortunately, though, if you're running JSPWiki with |
| a global security policy, you will still need to sign the JAR yourself using |
| the "ant signjar" command. |
| |
| * WikiCreole 1.0 support in mixed mode. |
| |
| UPGRADE NOTES |
| ============= |
| |
| Upgrading from previous releases of 2.4: |
| |
| * You should be able to just install the JSP files (top-level and |
| the default template), and the set of JAR files. |
| |
| * In addition, please check web.xml for any additional definitions |
| that may have been added. |
| |
| Upgrading from 2.x: |
| |
| * Please reinstall in a new directory. Then move your modified |
| templates into the new templates/ -directory. You MUST |
| have the default template in place, else things might not |
| work. If you have modified the default template, please |
| rename your old template to "mymodifications" or something. |
| You must NOT modify the default template anymore. |
| |
| * Replace jspwiki.properties with your old configuration file. |
| It should run unmodified, though you might want to go through |
| the new file to see new options. Most specifically: |
| |
| * jspwiki.baseURL is now mandatory |
| |
| * jspwiki.workDir is a good idea to set |
| |
| * Set jspwiki.security=off, if you don't want JSPWiki to |
| use its own security system. If you do, head over |
| to doc.jspwiki.org/2.4 for further instructions. |
| |
| * You can copy your old filters.xml to WEB-INF/classes |
| |
| Upgrading from earlier installations: |
| |
| * Please make a complete reinstall. Your wiki pages will still be |
| compatible, and the configuration for the most part. |
| |
| Please visit http://doc.jspwiki.org/2.4/ for further instructions. |

| 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... |
| |
| |
| KNOWN PROBLEMS |
| ============== |
| |
| * WebDav and static RSS generation do not yet support the new |
| authentication/permissions scheme. Therefore, if you have very |
| sensitive data in your wiki, you might not want to enable these. |
| |
| * Not all old plugins work. Specifically, plugins from 2.2, which |
| 1) use com.ecyrd.jspwiki package, will fail because they are not |
| signed with the same key as jspwiki.jar, and |
| 2) any plugin, which constructs new WikiPages will fail because |
| of the constructor has been changed. |
| |
| * The default template does not work at all if you turn off |
| Javascript. We are aware of this and working on a fix. |
| |
| * The editor suggestion list is not yet properly integrated. |
| |
| * GroupTab is missing. |
| |
| * Brushed javascript editor is not yet completely ported |
| |
| * Our documentation simply sucks at this point. Please forgive us, |
| and point where those fixes are needed. We will improve upon |
| this during our progress towards a stable. |
