| Welcome to the stable version of JSPWiki 2.8! |
| |
| JSPWiki 2.8.4 is a security and stability update to 2.8.x-series. All users |
| are encouraged to upgrade. |
| |
| This is the second major version of JSPWiki which is released completely under |
| the Apache License. This is done as a part of the transition to the |
| Apache Incubation. |
| |
| However, this is NOT an Apache release - JSPWiki 3.0 will be the first |
| official Apache release. |
| |
| Please report any issues at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI |

| 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. |
