Release of Foswiki version 1.0.9

Release of Foswiki version 1.0.9, 17 Jan 2010

On behalf of the entire Foswiki community I can proudly announce the release of the Foswiki patch release 1.0.9 Foswiki 1.0.9 is available for download from foswiki.org/Download/

Foswiki 1.0.9 was built 17 Jan 2010. It is a patch release with more than 320 bug fixes relative to 1.0.0 and many small enhancements. This release fixes many bugs in the Wysiwyg editor, bugs related to more advanced wiki applications and bugs in the Plugin API. It contains several bug fixes and enhancements related to security and spam fighting.

It is highly recommended to upgrade your Foswiki to 1.0.9.

The regular version (Foswiki-1.0.9…) is the full version with all files. The upgrade version (Foswiki-upgrade-1.0.9…) contains the full file package except the files that you will typical have tailored in your installation and do not want overwritten when you upgrade. The upgrade package will upgrade any version from 1.0.0 or later to 1.0.9 simply by copying all the files in the upgrade package on top of the existing 1.0.X. The exact steps are described on the download page. If you are at 1.0.0 there is no need to upgrade to 1.0.4 through 1.0.8 first.

Also note that many plugins and other extensions are being released or updated every week. Follow the Extensions News at where important news about extensions releases are announced. The number of subversion code check-ins is over 6000 now and still more developers join the project.

As release manager on the project I want to say a sincere thank you to all the many that have worked hard on this release happen. A special thank you to those that tested the two release candidates. Remember that you can upgrade also the release candidates using the upgrade package.

On behalf of the Foswiki Association and the entire Foswiki Community: Enjoy the Foswiki 1.0.9
