Foswiki night builds of trunk and Release01×00 branch
I’ve just (finally) set up the auto unit test run, PerlCritic and release build for the Release01×00 branch, and fixed the trunk builder.
Foswiki trunk gets built every 6 hours, and Release01×00 every 12 (based on my Sydney TZ).
If the unit tests fail, and email will be sent to the foswiki-discuss mailing list – no news is good news. See the build output areas:
where you will find the output log files, the built tar.gz and zip files and each of the component packages that make up a release.

new FugueIconsContrib
I created the FamFamFamContrib Icons package for T(m)wiki and Foswiki a year or three ago, and now have added a FugueIconsContrib package today – containing the fabulous iconset by Yusuke Kamiyamane.
Now we have 2 possible icon sets to replace the very odd and aging DocumentGraphics topic – the only thing holding us back is a mapping from the old %ICON{}% names to new.
I’ll dig up the work I did last year some time and see if we can finish it

Howto protect foswiki attachments without slowdown
I was just asked on IRC how to protect some attachments without forcing all requested attachments to go through the viewfile cgi script (as that causes your foswiki images and css to load incredibly slowly), and here’s the howto I answered with:
I coded foswiki 1.0’s viewfile script to work as an apache ErrorDocument, so If you can find a way to trigger a 404 or 401 error, you can get apache to run viewfile -
ErrorDocument 404 /foswiki/bin/viewfile
If you place your pub dir somewhere outside where apache serves files and then softlink the non-protected webs into apache’s path (so it serves them full speed), then the secured webs will generate a 404, triggering the viewfile ErrorDocument – which will thus serve the file only to authenticated users
This will work irrespective of the authentication choices in your foswiki setup – and as the files that require securing are outside apache’s file serving areas, can be considered as secure as possible.
As an added bonus, any request to a file that does not exist will show a foswiki error page, rather than a staic html.

Foswiki 1.1 Admin dashboard preview
I’ve been working on expanding the use of Foswiki Applications and in the process began to build (using TML) a much more usable user interface for configuring and managing your Foswiki.
So – to the picture show
Easy to access over-view
Quickly customise your Foswiki site.
Admin friendly selection of visual settings
Many of these features already do work in Foswiki 1.0.4 – by installing FoswikiApplications Contrib, but they are a work in progress – and getting more advanced every week.
