Hi,

I am sending this email because you requested the TWiki source in the past and asked to be notified of new releases. (Please drop me a line if you do not wish to receive further TWiki announcements.)

A new TWiki version is available: Production release 01 Sep 1999. You can request the new version at http://www.mindspring.com/~peterthoeny/twiki/ .

Changes since the last production release (01 Jul 1999)

• New text formatting rule for creating tables. Text gets rendered as an HTML table if enclosed in "|" vertical bars. Example table:

  This	is	a table
  with	some	cells

• Fixed a Y2K bug. (Date in year 2000 had wrong format.)

• Search path for include files in %INCLUDE:"file.inc"% variable. Search first in the current web, then in parent data directory. Useful to overload default include text in the data directory by web-specific text, like for example webcopyright.inc text.

• Flags $doLogTopic* in wikicfg.pm to selectively log topic view, edit, save, rdiff, attach, search and changes to monthly log file.

• Online registration of new user using web form in TWikiRegistration.

• Some other minor changes

Update procedure from the 01 Jul 1999 version:

Note: This assumes that you did not make any changes to TWiki scripts or templates besides wikicfg.pm.

• Unzip the new release to a temporary directory.

• Manually merge the old and new twiki/bin/wikicfg.pm file. Use the new file as the base and copy the values from the old file over to the new file.

• Update (overwrite) all remaining script files in the twiki/bin directory.

• Move debug.txt from twiki/bin to twiki/bin/data.

• Update (overwrite) all templates files in the twiki/bin/template directory.

Note: With the new release it is possible to move the data and templates directory to a place that is not accessible as a URL, i.e. /var/twiki/data or ~/not_public/twiki/data
