It's a developer's release, but it looks pretty solid. Bugs are no extra
charge.

Kudos to the following:

Jeff Diariki and Carsten Klapp: for the rewritten parser, template system,
and new plugins

Carsten: for CSS above and beyond the call of duty

Lawrence Akka: for singlehandedly brining ADODB support to PhpWiki

Adam Shand for maintaining the PhpWiki project site

Reini Urban for additional commits

and the folks on phpwiki-talk, who drive the project forward every day!
Without all of you, this project wouldn't be. I honestly believe you've
all created one of the premier WikiWikiWeb implementations in any
language.


Demo of themes, language support, new features:

Project site:
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/

Test site, rebuilt from scratch nightly:

Here's my terse summary of the ChangeLog:

W3C valid xhtml, css
automatic merge of conflicting edits

theme packages: Hawiian (get it? wikiwiki? Hawiian?), SpaceWiki (Star
Trek-like), Portland (like the c2.com Wiki), Sidebar (uses frames),
Aqua theme for Mac fanatics

international updates: French, German, Italian, Swedish, Dutch,
Spanish, English
improved localization
rearchitected template system
dump whole site as xhtml files
new stylesheets, including 'print this page'
now uses PEAR/DB.php or ADODB database abstractions (Lawrence Akka)
word level diffs
new parse engine

Many Wiki functions being moved into Plugins.

New Plugins: ViewMarkup for seeing Wiki markup of locked pages,
HelloWorld example plugin to help you get started, PageGrouping,
RandomPage, OrphanedPages, more. See WikiPlugin.
