Pay attention to not overwriting important pages which have been modified locally, such as Main.TWikiAdminGroup or Main.TWikiUsers for instance. Also, note that users might notice a page layout problem due to CSS changes. This can be solved by clearing the browser cache. Two small bugs had sneaked into 4.0.2, both related to how e-mail addresses are shown. A patch is provided.

TWiki extends the free-form world of wikis by adding structure - content can be browsed, searched, grouped, categorized, filtered and access restricted. TWiki looks and feels like a normal intranet or web site, and can be easily modified through standard web browsers. TWiki, with its server-side Plugin API, is a platform where developers and non-programmers can build groupware applications in an efficient way. Currently, more than 200 Plugins and add-ons can be added to TWiki, such as the BlogPlugin that turns TWiki into a weblog tool. TWiki and its extensions are available for download from the TWiki.org website, http://TWiki.org/. TWiki.org's mission is to provide a leading edge, web-based collaboration platform targeting the corporate Intranet world. TWiki.org, through TWiki, fosters information flow within an organization; lets distributed teams work together seamlessly and productively; and eliminates the one-webmaster syndrome of outdated intranet content. Founded in 1997 by Peter Thoeny and managed by a team of open-source software engineers around the world, the TWiki platform is installed and used by thousands of companies including Google, Motorola, SAP, and Yahoo! to increase the productivity of their teams. TWiki is developed by an active community and released as Free Software under the GNU/GPL (General Public License).
