We have prepared a Release Candidate of the next WIKINDX release: X.Y.Z. Note that this beta version is not for production use. However, we would appreciate the help of dedicated WIKINDX users in testing the beta version in order to ensure that the final 6.7.1 release is of the highest quality. A beta tester should be able to set up and manage a test WIKINDX environment, ideally populated with data from their production environment. We expect the beta release period to last two(?) weeks during which bugs will be reported and fixed. If you are able and willing to beta test with us, then please send an email to sirfragalot@users.sourceforge.net and we will contact you asap.... read more

Below we reproduce an important PHP security announcement from April 24, 2024.
WIKINDX is not affected by this iconv() vulnerability because the conversion to ISO-2022-CN-EXT encoding is not used and not allowed.
Stéphane Aulery
Recently, a bug in glibc version 2.39 and older (CVE-2024-2961) was uncovered where a buffer overflow in character set conversions to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set.
This specific buffer overflow in glibc is exploitable through PHP, which uses the iconv functionality in glibc to do character set conversions. Although the bug is exploitable in the context of the PHP Engine, the bug is not in PHP. It is also not directly exploitable remotely.
There are numerous reports online with titles like "Mitigating the iconv Vulnerability for PHP (CVE-2024-2961)" or "PHP Under Attack". These titles are misleading as this is not a bug in PHP itself.
Currently there is no fix for this issue, but there is a workaround described in GLIBC Vulnerability on Servers Serving PHP. It explains a way how to remove the problematic character set from glibc. Perform this procedure for every gconv-modules-extra.conf file that is available on your system.
Additionally it is also good practice for applications to accept only specific charsets, with an allow-list.
Some Linux distributions such as Debian, CentOS, and others, already have published patched variants of glibc. Please upgrade as soon as possible.
Once an update is available in glibc, updating that package on your Linux machine will be enough to alleviate the issue. You do not need to update PHP, as glibc is a dynamically linked library.
PHP users on Windows are not affected.
There will therefore also not be a new version of PHP for this vulnerability.... read more

Smarty replaced the 'implode' modifier with the 'join' modifier. This will cause a lot of deprecation warnings if your template is custom. To correct these messages use the new syntax described by the Smarty documentation of join.

Dear users,
We are happy to announce the second version of our plugin for Dokuwiki. It extends support to several versions of Dokuwiki: Hogfather, Igor, Jack Jackrum.
This plugin develops the initial work of Andreas Wagner (thanks to him) and is adapted to the latest versions of WIKINDX (6.6.0 and higher).
It allows, among other things, to cite resources from your personal WIKINDX in a Dokuwiki page and to automatically create the bibliography for this page.... read more

This version is a maintenance version only to facilitate the transition
from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0 and higher, or MariaDB 1.2/1.3 to MariaDB 10.4
and higher.
Its code is strictly identical to that of version 6.7.1,
except for the change of support.

This version is the last supporting MySQL 5.7, MariaDB 10.2 and MariaDB 10.3.
Their maintainers no longer offer security support from 2023 for these versions.
In addition, the functionality gap has grown and causes bugs that we want to limit.
Starting with WIKINDX v6.7.1, we have decided to institute beta releases prior to full releases.

Dear users,
The newly released dual version 6.6.8/6.7.0 will mark a change in the development of WIKINDX.
The series of versions 6.6.1 to 6.6.8 is a long series of fixes from version 6.6.0, the last of which is the most stable. The same thing had happened on the 6.4.x series.
Indeed, version 6.6.0 released shortly before Christmas 2022 took a year. The rewrite of the citation engine was a colossal undertaking, the fruits of which we hope to see in the months and years to come. However, it caused a lot of bugs.... read more
