Hello Foswiki'ers,

The biggest news is that we're ramping up to do 2 releases 1.1.5 and then 1.2.0. We need your help setting priorities, testing new features and generally letting us know what you need from your foswiki.<br /> <br /> (Please tell me how this HTML email went - without the links, its a bit sad.)<br /> <br /> Cheers<br /> Sven Dowideit<br /> foswiki developer

by Main.GeorgeClark <br />Release 1.1.5 targeted for March 31st 2012<br /><br /> [[Support.SecurityAlert-CVE-2012-1004]] with hotfix is available and we will be following up with Release 1.1.5. It will be a security focused release, picking up a number of bug fixes, and a small number of minor enhancements. The anticipated timeline is:<br /> * Feature freeze: 5th of March<br /> * String freeze: 10th of March<br /> * Build release candidate: 20th of March<br /> * Release - 31 of March<br /><br />Please help<br /><br />We need developer help to close out the Tasks.ReleaseBlocker tasks, and do a triage of any open tasks to pull fixes into 1.1.5. And translators need to be prepared to update the strings. The User Registration messages have all been converted to use MAKETEXT.<br /><br />Branch of 1.2 soon<br /><br />There is still some discussion going on, but initial plans are to branch 1.2 from trunk. We really need some help updating the Development.FeatureProposals, setting the PlannedFor field to 1.2 or 2.0. Stay tuned to the blog for updates.<br /><br />Details of 1.1.5 and 1.2 / 2.0 releases are found in the Development.ReleasePlan

by Main.SvenDowideit <br />That's right, on Redhat Enterprise and Centos, it’s now just as easy to install Foswiki and its ~300 plugins as it is on Debian.<br /> * <a href="http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_debian/" target="_top">Debian repository for Foswiki</a><br /> * <a href="http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_rpms/" target="_top">Centos6 and RHEL6 repository for Foswiki</a><br />This means you can now manage your Enterprise Foswiki using the same package management tools as the rest of the operating system.
