We’ve spent the last month fixing about 100 bugs, and security auditing 1.1.4 (and fixing several things along the way)

so this is the most stable, and safest foswiki release ever.

I’ve also fixed a few TWiki compatibility bugs that were broken in TWiki since about 2005 – so foswiki 1.1.5 is quite possibly more TWiki compatible than TWiki 5 itself!

please try it – and report any issues you find so we can work on them for the release next week

Yesterday I uploaded the first Foswiki Installer for windows to Foswiki Downloads. It will install Apache 2.2 (if you don’t already have it) and Strawberry Perl and then configure and install Foswiki v1.0.0 beta 3.

if you’re working or just running Perl on Windows, drop everything, run, don’t walk, to StrawberryPerl. Adam Kennedy has not only made a real Perl for windows, he’s made a _proper_ Perl . One where CPAN just plain works.

Even better, he’s made a Perl that you can use portably, from your USB stick, so you don’t even need to install Perl on your locked down computer.

To learn about his code, I’m building a FoswikiOnAStick distro based on his code, and then I hope to work out how to extend the concept to other platforms.

For the extremely adventurous – I have built an installer using Strawberry Perl 5.10 beta2 – TWiki-4.2.0-rc2.1-strawberry.exe

Warning: Search does not work, and needs someone to debug it (I’m away over xmas)
