A reader of CMS Report asked me to give the latest version of Foswiki some love and attention to this open source "enterprise wiki" with an article. Not a problem as this is why I'm here!
Eight months in the making, Foswiki 1.1.4 comes with some new features and more than 160 crunched bugs relative to the previous release. Here are some highlights of new features and enhancements included in this package:
- Significant enhancements were made to the Foswiki email implementation. These changes increase compatibility with email services like Google’s gmail, adding support for SMTP over SSL as well as S/MIME signed mai
- Preference variables can take parameters now. This allows to build very powerful macro shortcuts to ease the life of your content editors.
- JQueryPlugin had a major release in its own allowing new possibilities for smart user interaction for the application developer.
- There’s a new custom-made jQuery-ui theme providing a decent look and feel for enterprise use.
- SpreadSheetPlugin has been enhanced with new functions.
Foswiki 1.1.4 is available from the download page at Foswiki.org. While you're there don't hesitate to take a look at the release notes for further details on the new features and bug fixes contained in this version of Foswiki.
