The Foswiki community loves Kenneth Larvsen for releasing the next Foswiki version 1.0.7 last Monday with the following email:

Release of Foswiki version 1.0.7, 20 Sep 2009

On behalf of the entire Foswiki community I can proudly announce the
release of the Foswiki patch release 1.0.7

Foswiki 1.0.7 is available for download at the following locations

* Foswiki web site: http://foswiki.org/Download

Since the January release of 1.0.0 more than 190 additional bugs have
been fixed.

Foswiki 1.0.7 was built 20 Sep 2009. It is a patch release with more
than 190 bug fixes relative to 1.0.0 and some enhancements. This release
fixes some serious issues introduced by the CSRF fix and the redirect
cache fix in 1.0.6. Major enhancement that also fixes many annoying
editor bugs is the upgrade of the !Tiny MCE editor to version 3.2.2.

It is highly recommended to upgrade your Foswiki to 1.0.7.

You can read the full email here.

  • Installers for Windows and Mac are already available on the download page just as other downloads.

Important Changes since Foswiki 1.0.6

  • The Wysiwyg editor has been upgraded to using Tiny MCE editor version 3.2.2 which solves many editor related bugs. The pickaxe icon has been replaced by a “Wiki Text” button as the pickaxe was hard to guess the function of. And the editor now has a full screen editing feature. This is the biggest and most important change in that release, that you will find in Foswiki 1.0.7. A big thank you goes to Crawford Currie for making this possible.
  • Several bugs fixed related to the Cross-Site Request Forgery feature.
  • Cross-Site Request Forgery feature has been enhanced to also protect against unwanted attachment of files
  • TablePlugin sorts numbers and dates better
  • EditTablePlugin handles SpreadSheetPlugin in footer rows correctly
  • Fixed a problem where Windows installations of Foswiki would create new users with non-working passwords
  • “Managing webs” feature redesigned for better usability

    Great news, but one question:

    Why was this release shipped as 1.0.7 and not as 1.1.0 (patch vs. minor)?

      I asked Kenneth Lavrsen (our Foswiki release manager) and he answered:

      "The release plan was to release 1.1.0 with many new features and
      architectural changes in September.

      However it is taking longer to finish these new features to a quality
      level that suits a product used for business critical use.

      The release manager therefore decided to release 1.0.7 AND included the
      new Wysiwyg editor which was already finished and stable on our
      development branch (trunk).

      Kenneth"

        Thank you for the quick answer. Is there a release schedule for 1.1.0 yet? Because if it is due for this year, I will skip 1.0.7.

          There is no fixed date for 1.1 and I do not know, if it will be released this year still. My recommendation is, not to skip 1.0.7.
