Wikka 1.1.6.3 released

I’m happy to announce the release of version 1.1.6.3, an important security upgrade available for download from the Wikka website.

The Wikka Developer Team have been working hard over the last months on 1.1.7, a major release that will feature a number of important enhancements (both in terms of functionality and configurability). We have recently decided to make available to our user community a number of security fixes already included in 1.1.7 as a dedicated release.

Wikka 1.1.6.3 does not introduce new functionality, but several patches against potential security issues. These include, among others, a native PHP vulnerability (i.e. not a Wikka bug) affecting virtually any application running on PHP<5.2, that has been brilliantly patched thanks to the joint efforts of the Wikka and GeSHi Developer teams.

We strongly recommend Wikka users to upgrade to 1.1.6.3. Upgrading via the installer takes only a few minutes and will make your wiki safer.

New Wikka developers

Last but not least, I’m proud to announce that since the last stable release, the Wikka Team has welcomed two new developers.
Tormod (TormodHaugen) has extensively worked on a new markup for data tables, that will be included in 1.1.7 and whose syntax can be previewed here.
Brian (BrianKoontz) has brought to Wikka his expertise in the area of security and a lot of valuable insights and contributions on how to make Wikka easier to extend. Thank you guys for helping us make Wikka better :)

A big thanks to all the other members of the Dev Team: DotMG, JavaWoman, NilsLindenberg, YanB for the great job they did on the code and documentation over the last months.
