NOTE:	This is no longer the latest TWikiProductionRelease

This new version (code named TWikiReleaseSpring2001) has these new features compared to the previous production TWikiRelease01Dec2000:

• TWikiPlugins - Easily install program enhancements using external plug-in modules. Developers can create plug-ins in Perl, with the TWiki Plugin API.
  • InterwikiPlugin (preinstalled) - Link to external sites with text aliases, SiteAlias:Page; rules are defined in InterWikis. (Get more Plugins from the TWiki:Plugins web.)
• TWikiTemplates - New, more flexible template system.
• TWikiSkins - Overwrite template headers and footers; page content is unaffected.
• TWikiMetaData - New data format
• TWiki04x01.TWikiForms - Create multiple input forms per web; data is rendered in HTML tables.
• ManagingTopics - Individual topics can be renamed, moved and deleted through the browser. Deleted topics are stored in a common Trash web.
• Change passwords - Change and reset passwords using forms.
• TOC (Table of Contents) - %TOC% variable generates a hierarchical table of contents from topic headings: <h1>...<h6>.
• Arbitrary Text for WikiWord Links - Text formatting rules to generate automatic links from any combination of words and spaces.
• Attachments Under Revision Control - Changes made to files attached to topics are now saved under revision control (RCS).
• SuperAdministrator Group - Lets you to make the members of one user group - by default, TWikiAdminGroup - into TWiki superusers, with the ability to overwrite locked topics from the browser interface. (This gets around the problem of topic lockouts, caused by typos in access privilege definitions.)
• HierarchicalNavigation uses new Meta Data variables to link hierarchically.
• Convert to XHTML? - Pages are rendered for display in XHTML 1.0, as far as possible without breaking HTML 3.2 compliance.
• Plus many more changes and fixes.
