The TWiki community has just released a big patch release for the newest TWiki version 4.2. In the new release, that can be found at https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/TWikiRelease04x02x01 both stability and performance have improved. One main focus was to improve the reliability of the WYSIWYG-editor: "We have made big improvements with this feature that brings TWiki one more step closer to the community of non-tech-savvy people." says Kenneth Lavrsen (Motorola), who is in charge of release management for the community.
TWiki 4.2.0 was released January 2008 and introduced some hot new features that make TWiki a better user experience for both beginners and experienced application developers. It also contained quite a number of bug fixes since 4.1.2.
TWiki 4.2.1 is a patch release which only contains bug fixes. More than 150 bugs have been fixed since the release of 4.2.0 in all areas of TWiki.
It is highly recommended to upgrade TWiki 4.2.0 to 4.2.1. Users will find the 4.2.1 much more stable in daily use.
