What's new in Wikka 1.1.6.4 ?

New administration modules

User administration module (accessible via the AdminUsers system page) to manage Wikka users.

Page administration module (accessible via the AdminPages system page) to manage pages and perform several maintenance operations on wiki pages (including mass reversions).

New antispam functionality

New config option to disable new user registrations.

New reversion handler to allow rollback of page versions to previous versions.

Module for mass user deletion (via the UserAdministration panel).

A new lightweight user registration framework to facilitate creation of plug-in modules for registration validation schemes. Default install includes the URInviteCode module that requires new users to enter an invitation code. See UserRegistrationValidationFramework | for instructions on how to enable this and future UR modules.

Security enhancements

System version information now hidden to all but admins.

All Wikka releases (zipfiles and tarballs) are now WikkaSecurity distributed with digital signatures and checksums.

More secure handling of file attachments.

Additional detailed information about changes in this version can be found in the full changelog.

1.1.6.3 is a security release. The Wikka Dev Team has recently decided to parcel out this release from the main development line of 1.1.7 to address a number of security issues. These include a native PHP bug (i.e. not a Wikka bug) affecting virtually any PHP application running on PHP<5.2, that was brilliantly patched thanks to the joint efforts of the Wikka and GeSHi developer teams.

The list of potential security issues addressed in 1.1.6.3 is available on this page. Wikka users are strongly recommended to upgrade to 1.1.6.3.
