[ANNOUNCE] Release of Foswiki 1.0.10

Release of Foswiki version 1.0.10 - 08 Sep 2010

On behalf of the entire Foswiki community I can proudly announce the
release of the Foswiki patch release 1.0.10

Foswiki 1.0.10 is available for download at

* Foswiki web site: http://foswiki.org/Download

Foswiki 1.0.10 was built 08 Sep 2010. It is a patch release with more
than 410 bug fixes relative to 1.0.0.

If you already run Foswiki 1.0.9 and you do not have any severe issues
with it, you are recommended to stay with 1.0.9 and wait for Foswiki
1.1.0 which we plan to release in October. We are going beta within a
few days. Foswiki 1.1.0 is an existing new release that you can all look
forward to with some significant enhancements for both end users and
application developers.

The reason for releasing 1.0.10 now is mainly that people installing
Foswiki for the first time on Perl 5.12 are having severe issues with
the installation. Foswiki 1.0.10 does not have any important
enhancements compared to 1.0.9. Read the 1.0.10 release notes which are
available at ...

* http://foswiki.org/System/ReleaseNotes01x00

.. and review if an upgrade is desired

The regular version (Foswiki-1.0.10...) is the full version with all
files. The upgrade version (Foswiki-upgrade-1.0.10...) contains the full
file package except the files that you will typical have tailored in
your installation and do not want overwritten when you upgrade. The
upgrade package will upgrade any version from 1.0.0 or later to 1.0.10
simply by copying all the files in the upgrade package on top of the
existing 1.0.X. The exact steps are described on the download page. If
you are at 1.0.0 there is no need to upgrade to 1.0.4 through 1.0.9 first.

Also note that many plugins and other extensions are being released or
updated every week. Follow the Extensions News at where important news
about extensions releases are announced.

* http://foswiki.org/Extensions/ExtensionNews

The number of subversion code check-ins near 9000 now and still more
developers join the project.

As release manager on the project I want to say a sincere thank you to
all the many that have worked hard on this release happen. A special
thank you to those that tested the release candidate. Remember that you
can upgrade also the release candidate using the upgrade package.

You should also both when you download and install Foswiki and regularly
visit http://foswiki.org/Support/KnownIssuesOfFoswiki01x00 where we will
list the more annoying bugs that have been found and most often you will
find an immediate solution that you can apply.

We will be many developers that are ready to help you with the
installation of (or upgrade to) Foswiki on the IRC channel #foswiki on
the freenode.org network.

The special installer and virtual machine versions of Foswiki will be
updated to 1.0.10 version within the next days. Keep an eye on the
download page if you use one of these versions.

On behalf of the Foswiki Association and the entire Foswiki Community:
Enjoy the Foswiki 1.0.10

Kenneth Lavrsen
Release manager

As Will reminded me there is a typo below. The 1.1.0 will be exciting.
It will also be existing once released. ;-)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Release of Foswiki 1.0.10

Let me begin by saying Thank you.

Both to Kenneth for completing the 1.0.10 release while I am unable to
complete it due to illness (yup, entire family is sick), and to everyone
that worked on fixing bugs in what we hope is the final update to the first
release of Foswiki.

I am already working on updates to the windows installer, windows USB key
and the 1.0.x debian packages - though I fear it will be a week or 2 before
I am caught up - the girls are still not sleeping normally yet.

Cheers to everyone
Sven

I must say this community is really working out great. Lots of activities

Excellent.

So another big thanks to all.

>From what I can sense in the market, Foswiki is gaining constant adoption.
A lot of people from all over the world from different companies show up
on http://foswiki.org/Support/WebHome using the free community support forum,
as well as in our real time support on IRC, also available online via
http://foswiki.org/Support/GetLiveSupport .

Sometimes we see the same questions showing up again and again as they
arise in corporate intranets, like problems connecting Foswiki to an LDAP
authentication service. This indicates that we still need better
documentation for these things, as well as more coverage in our blog. These
channels havent been used as they should in the past.

There are a lot of extensions in our plugins repository for various use cases
and people constantly miss them. For example, after two years using Foswiki
for a Datacenter a client got aware of EditTablePlugin the first time
just recently and wished he knew earlier. While they are power users in the
meantime, they weren't aware of the standard features
installed on their Foswiki server with EditTablePlugin being an extension
packaged with standard Foswiki since forever. Imagine the situation for the rest of
the solutions available on http://foswiki.org/Extensions/WebHome.

So I really think people using Foswiki could present their solutions in a more visible way.
I know the sitation for corporate intranet applications is difficult as most of the stuff is covered by
NDAs. Still we could assist people in writing down their story in one or the other way.

This would be a great way for our user base to contribute back to Foswiki: not by code but
by publishing their very own case study on Foswiki.org as well as on our blog at
http://blog.foswiki.org

Anyway, have a nice day and ...

... a speedy recovery to all of your family, Sven.

Cheers,
Michael.

Great work.. Upgrade worked like a dream.. Only thing was I had to
restore Main.SitePreferences as the upgrade overwrote it.

Thank you all for all your effort...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Release of Foswiki 1.0.10

Well, with an upgrade with the full package and only this little problem.

It shows that we are getting better and better at making Foswiki so
tailored stuff is put in places that are not part of the distribution.

And it gets even better in 1.1.0 where UserRegistration, ResetPassword,
ChangePassword and more can be tailored in a way that you do not need to
worry when upgrading.

End goal is that the upgrade packages will no longer be needed at all.
