Download Foswiki 1.1.3

Upgrade versions

If you already have Foswiki version an earlier version 1.1.X installed

File	GPG	MD5	Description
Foswiki-upgrade-1.1.3.tgz	GPG	MD5	upgrade tar gz version of Foswiki
Foswiki-upgrade-1.1.3.zip	GPG	MD5	upgrade zip version of Foswiki

The upgrade packages exclude the files that are typically changed when you customize your installation. The upgrade package can be copied on top of an existing running 1.1.X installation for a quick upgrade to 1.1.3.

Upgrading to 1.1.3 from a 1.0.X release using the upgrade package has not been tested and is not recommended. Copying a 1.1.3 upgrade package on top of a 1.0 will leave a lot of no longer used files behind which could cause trouble.

Known Issues

After installation the SlideShowPlugin should be updated as it contains a security related fix.

There is currently a known issue with date type form fields. A simple fix is available. See KnownIssuesOfFoswiki01x01

Other Foswiki installers and packages

These packages are contributed by volunteers on the Foswiki core team. They tend to lag the primary Foswiki release a bit. If you need the latest release immediately, the official release packages can be used on most systems, though some care may be needed due to modified file locations.

Note: We are always looking for volunteers to help maintain these distributions, or to add to the collection. See Development/GettingStarted? for details on how to sign up as a Foswiki developer.

Foswiki: Introduction

Foswiki is an enterprise collaboration and information sharing tool targeted for professional use in many types of companies—from small businesses to large organizations.

Foswiki is a wiki: a website with easily editable web pages. It looks like a normal web site but it encourages contributions, edits, updates, questions, and answers from its users. It's a powerful way of enabling a community to communicate asynchronously using intranet or public internet websites. Foswiki is simple to learn and use. It aims to provide a transparent way for you to publish and exchange your ideas with others over the web and eliminates the one-webmaster syndrome of outdated intranet content.

Foswiki supports storing structured data—name-value pairs—and provides advanced query tools that enable users without programming skills to build powerful yet simple applications to process information and support workflows. Developers can extend the functionality of Foswiki with plugins.

Foswiki is a fork from the TWiki project. Restrictions on the use of the TWiki brand resulted in many of its developers starting the Foswiki project. Foswiki is backwards compatible with all content from older TWiki installations.

Foswiki 1.1 ships with TWikiCompatibilityPlugin installed by default, thus if activated enables most extensions made for TWiki to work under Foswiki.

Foswiki is released under the GNU General Public License.
