This release is a maintenance release that includes no new functionality. The release addresses a couple of minor issues in 1.1.6.4, including:

• Some PHP5 compatibility issues;
• Cleanup of error and informational messages in several actions;
• More robust cookie handling;
• A simplified installer; and
• Valid XHTML output.

We are planning to build a base of official testers for WikkaWiki, this post is to announce the launch of our beta-testing programme and the availability of (unstable) nightly builds from our code repository.

The Wikka development team has made Wikka 1.1.6.4, release candidate 1 (RC1) available for download and testing. Please download from the WikkaWiki home page. Additional links to the release notes and issue tracker can be found there as well. While this release candidate has been thoroughly vetted by the development team, we do not recommend its use in a production environment. We anticipate the final release of Wikka 1.1.6.4 to occur at the end of the month.

Thank you so much for your patience. We believe this release will be well worth the time to upgrade to, as it addresses several spam-related issues that have cropped up with earlier Wikka versions over the past few months.

I’m happy to announce the release of version 1.1.6.3, an important security upgrade available for download from the Wikka website.

The Wikka Developer Team have been working hard over the last months on 1.1.7, a major release that will feature a number of important enhancements (both in terms of functionality and configurability). We have recently decided to make available to our user community a number of security fixes already included in 1.1.7 as a dedicated release.

Wikka 1.1.6.3 does not introduce new functionality, but several patches against potential security issues. These include, among others, a native PHP vulnerability (i.e. not a Wikka bug) affecting virtually any application running on PHP<5.2, that has been brilliantly patched thanks to the joint efforts of the Wikka and GeSHi Developer teams.

We strongly recommend Wikka users to upgrade to 1.1.6.3. Upgrading via the installer takes only a few minutes and will make your wiki safer.
