Apache JSPWiki

Folks, we just rolled a new release of JSPWiki 2.8.3, available from the usual location at http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/JSPWikiDownload JSPWiki 2.8.3 is a security and stability update to 2.8.x-series. All users are encouraged to upgrade. The ... [More] full log of any issues fixed can be found at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=12310732&fixfor=12313766 This is the first major version of JSPWiki which is released completely under the Apache License. This is done as a part of the transition to the Apache Incubation. However, this is NOT an Apache release - JSPWiki 3.0 will be the first official Apache release. Please report any issues at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI UPDATES SINCE 2.8.2 The full list is available in the ChangeLog file. Highlights include Improved logging JDK6 compilation support Brazilian Portuguese translation, thanks to Paulo Amaral Addition of new PageViewPlugin Numerous bugfixes, esp. in sorting. [Less]

Just wanted to let you know that while progress has been fairly slow in the past few weeks due to summer holidays, the trunk is shaping up. SVN revision 796818 lands versioning, so one of the key things in wikis is finally in place! No word yet on when we can start rolling releases though. Stay tuned...

JSPWiki 2.8.2 has been released. This is a bug-fix release over 2.8.1, and also contains a Russian translation. It is available from JSPWiki:JSPWikiDownload.

A few days ago, we renamed all the packages to "org.apache.wiki", ditching the old "com.ecyrd.jspwiki" -name. So one more hurdle gone in our road to an Apache release! You might ask, why not "org.apache.jspwiki"? Well, turns out that Tomcat had a ... [More] bug - and it assumes all packages starting with "org.apache.jsp" are generated files done by the Jasper compiler. Note the missing dot from the end. [Less]

We had a scheduled maintenance at jspwiki.org, and now everything is back up again.

Looks like from the original plethora of Java-based wiki engines, only Confluence, JSPWiki and XWiki remain - Confluence being the non-open source alternative. Some others still linger, but looks like the last releases have been in 2006-2007, so I ... [More] don't know whether they are still really alive or not (hope that they are!) Phew. It feels good to have survived such a long time (seven years now, w00t!) with the presence of such awesome competition. We are now beginning a whole new era with becoming an Apache project and JSPWiki v3, which will signal the first major overhaul of the entire software since v2.0 in 2002. We've got a bunch of good committers (with a new one added this weekend - welcome, Florian!) and a bunch of pretty exciting things we want to do. And more the merrier, so please join up! Someone could for example design a cooler-looking template for 3.0... We've been looking the same since 2001 ;-) Ohloh estimates that the total effort put into JSPWiki is worth $1,037,267 - that is, if you had paid someone to make a software with similar features, that's how much it would've taxed your wallet. You could also think of it in another way - I and others could've made a million if we hadn't used our free time to write this software (and mind you, all of the current developers are doing this on their free time, which I think is getting a bit exceptional these days for a medium-sized open source project). But you can't really pin a monetary value to passion. Because that's what it's been - a passionate affair - throughout these years. And I hope to be spreading that passion even further in the future :-) [Less]

I am happy to be able to announce the first release of an Apache-licensed version of JSPWiki (though it is not yet an official Apache release; not even a podling release. That work starts now.) It is available from the usual location at ... [More] http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/JSPWikiDownload The cool new stuff is described here: http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/NewIn2.8 [Less]

The first beta for JSPWiki 2.8 is now available at http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/JSPWikiDownload. We know there are still some minor issues in it (mostly relating to documentation and page renaming), but we feel that it is now ready for ... [More] large-scale testing. The goal of this release was to be an Apache-licensed version of JSPWiki 2.6, but we did manage to sneak in some other goodies as well. The big changes are enumerated in http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/NewIn2.8. jspwiki.org and http://sandbox.jspwiki.org have also been updated to 2.8 beta, so you can poke around already! [Less]

JSPWiki 2.6.4, which is a security update to the jspwiki 2.6.x series, has been released. It is available from download at http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/JSPWikiDownload Upgrading is highly recommended to all users.

Whee! After votes from both JSPWiki PPMC and the Apache Incubator PMC, Harry Metske is now joining the JSPWiki committer team. In other news, all LGPL dependencies are now gone from the code base. This means that we can probably start releasing under the Apache license pretty soon!
