Release TWiki-4.1.2
Major issues
| Fixed in | Description |
|---|---|
| 4.2 (not released yet) | The pub/_work_area directory is not protected by the documented httpd config file for TWiki. The default TWiki does not keep anything in this directory but some plugins may keep private information in this area. If your site is configured by .htaccess files you are OK. If you use an apache config file add this to your twiki apache config file (assuming /var/www/twiki as your twiki rootdirectory)<Directory "/var/www/twiki/pub/_work_areas"> deny from all <Directory> The ApacheConfigGenerator has been updated so it creates a protected work area for the plugins. |

| TWiki-4.1.1 | Item3471 - When trying to create a new topic using Jump field or URL, the top creation feature broken when a web does not have the WebTopicCreator topic. Work-around for upgraders: Simply copy the WebTopicCreator.txt file from the TWiki web into each of your old Web directories. Then it all works fine. |

Discussion
What was the point of the 4.1.2 release? No major nor minor issues fixed. What benefit do I have in upgrading, besides having one file less (lib/LocalSite.cfg.txt) .... -- AndersHolm - 13 Mar 2007 Not sure what is that topic about now?!? I ended up there as I was looking for the show stopper concerning 4.2 but that topic tittle suggests it applies to 4.1 however in the paragraph concerning 4.1.2 it mention a bug concerning 4.2 !?! I guess it's just work in progress. BTW AndersHolm as far as I'm concerned 4.1.2 provided genuine benefits from 4.1.1. See TWikiHistory? . -- StephaneLenclud - 21 Jan 2008 Found a bug?
