This is Release Candidate 1 of FlexWiki 2.0. Assuming we don't find
any major bugs, this release will become the final FlexWiki 2.0
version: the Released To Web (RTW) version.

This is Beta 2 of FlexWiki 2.0. Major differences from Beta 1 include:

* SQL Server once again supported as a store.
* Improved SPAM protection via optional CAPTCHA requirements.
* Added ability to require HTTPS on a namespace-by-namespace basis.
* Multiple bug fixes.

The major remaining issue is performance: Beta 2
is significantly slower than the latest released
version of FlexWiki 1.8. Performance work is
ongoing, and significant improvements are expected
before 2.0 is released, but for now production
deployment is not recommended. ... read more

FlexWiki 2.0 Beta 1 has been released! A host of bugs have been fixed and one major new feature added. All features but one from FlexWiki 1.8 should now be working, including RSS feeds, newsletters, and the administration pages. Additionally, a new security model has been introduced (read more at http://www.flexwiki.com/default.aspx/FlexWiki/FlexWikiSecurity.html\).

The one thing that isn't working right now is the SQL Server provider. If you store your content on the filesystem (the default), you don't need the SQL Server provider. It will be reimplemented in Beta 2.

This is alpha 1 of FlexWiki 2.0. It contains nothing in the way of new
functionality, but sports an extensively redesigned core that will
enable several new features to be implemented in the coming months. As
it is an alpha, bugs, crashes, and missing features are to be
expected: do not run this as your production wiki if you cannot
tolerate occasional problems.

This is largely a bugfix release for FlexWiki 1.8. FlexWiki 1.8 is the last version that will be released for ASP.NET 1.1 - current work is against the 2.0 branch. However, the 2.0 code is still in alpha state, so 1.8.0.1739 is the recommended, official release of FlexWiki.

This release is primarily a bugfix release, although several minor
features have been added. Basically, the fixes were piling up, and we
were telling people "go download the latest interim build" often
enough that we decided just to make it official. Highlights of this
build include:

* At long last the death of the "incorrect wiki links" bug, where
FlexWiki emitted links that corresponded to the first hit after
startup. This most frequently manifested itself as links pointing to
"localhost" even when the web server was accessed remotely.
* Null edits are now ignored.
* Slight performance enhancements, including the ability to turn off
performance counters (which can cause large delays on some
installations) via the DisablePerformanceCounters switch.
* Form support in WikiTalk... read more

partial listing. See the change notes for a complete history. Thanks
to the many contributors who wrote all these goodies in their spare
time.

* Added support for colored text via the %color% tag.

* A completely rearchitected storage engine that allows for pluggable
stores.

* An implementation of the pluggable storage engine that allows a
namespace to be stored in SQL Server.

* RSS feed format improvements. ... read more

This release contains several major enhancements to FlexWiki, the most significant of which is improved FireFox compatibility. Other important enhancements include the addition of a "Cancel" button to the edit page, a history list to show the most recently visited topics, improved support for non-ASCII characters, and WikiTalk enhancements.
