Hi everyone,

foswiki 1.0.4 has now been released. If you are wondering about the
version jump: versions 1.0.1-1.0.3 had known problems and were thus
never released.

I guess that based on
http://foswiki.org/Support/KnownIssuesOfFoswiki01x00#Major_issues_AN1
(and other issues I was told about via IRC but which don't seem to be
listed there) we should try whether this upgrade may fix our issues.

I think we should also convert to mod_fastcgi before we reenter
production, as well as disabling IP logging and activating email address
rewriting (anti-spam harvesting) and activating SSL. Of course this also
involves making the wiki 'rw' (writable) again.

To have less load on the site for a more safe beginning, we could
blacklist search engine and other crawlers using hosts.deny or apache
access limits (sending a 403) for the beginning.

I don't personally care too much whether we do this on the live or a
development server if we decide to keep the site down until then.

I should have some time to take part in this by next week, but also need
to restore SoS.

Alster

Release of Foswiki version 1.0.4, 19 Mar 2009

On behalf of the entire Foswiki community I can proudly announce the
release of the Foswiki patch release 1.0.4

Foswiki 1.0.4 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 100 additional bugs have
been fixed.

The number of bugs fixed relatively to the current TWiki release has
exceeded 300.

The Foswiki development community has focused on getting the first
follow-up patch release very stable. We discarded 3 release attempts in
the process of creating this release because we were not satisfied with
the quality. With 1.0.4 we have managed to make an already stable 1.0.0
even better.

In addition many more plugins and other extensions are now available in
native Foswiki versions that have been refreshed and tested and often
enhanced. More are added every day. The number of subversion code
checkins has passed 3200 now. Work has started on release 1.1.0. In
parallel the Foswiki community has branched out a stable release branch
from which this 1.0.4 is built from.

Foswiki 1.0.4 is released in two versions. The regular version
(Foswiki-1.0.4...) is the full version with all files. The upgrade
version (Foswiki-upgrade-1.0.4...) 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 1.0.0 to 1.0.4 simply by copying all the files in the upgrade
package on top of the existing 1.0.0. The exact steps are described on
the download page.

The beta testers that installed the discarded 1.0.1-1.0.3 releases can
also upgrade using this upgrade package.

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.

You should also both when you download and install Foswiki and regularly
visit http://foswiki.org/Support/KnownIssuesOfFoswiki01x00 where we will
list the more annoying bugs that have been found and most often you will
find an immediate solution that you can apply.

We will be many developers that are ready to help you with the
installation of (or upgrade to) Foswiki on the IRC channel #foswiki on
the freenode.org network.

On behalf of the Foswiki community
Enjoy the Foswiki 1.0.4

Kenneth Lavrsen
Release manager
