    Release of Foswiki version 1.0.5: commitment, quality, stability and security
    Release of Foswiki version 1.0.5, 25 Apr 2009

    On behalf of the entire Foswiki community I can proudly announce the release of the Foswiki patch release 1.0.5

    Foswiki 1.0.5 is available for download at the following locations

    * Foswiki web site: http://foswiki.org/Download

    Since the January release of 1.0.0 more than 120 additional bugs have been fixed.

    This release includes further security improvements, and it is highly recommended to upgrade your Foswiki to 1.0.5. The regular releases of our stable release line send a clear message to the all companies interested in a stable enterprise wiki that the community behind Foswiki has a strong commitment to quality, stability, and security.

    The number of bugs fixed relatively to the current TWiki release has exceeded 300.

    Since 1.0.4 even more plugins and other extensions have been made available in native Foswiki versions that have been refreshed and tested and often enhanced. And still more are added every day. The number of subversion code checkins has passed 3700 now.

    The regular version (Foswiki-1.0.5…) is the full version with all files. The upgrade version (Foswiki-upgrade-1.0.5…) contains the full file package except the files that you will typical have tailored in your installation and do not want overwritten when you upgrade. The upgrade package will upgrade 1.0.0 or 1.0.4 to 1.0.5 simply by copying all the files in the upgrade package on top of the existing 1.0.0/1.0.4. The exact steps are described on the download page.
    If you are at 1.0.0 there is no need to upgrade to 1.0.4 first.

    As release manager on the project I want to say a sincere thank you to all the many that have worked hard on this release happen.

    You should also both when you download and install Foswiki and regularly visit http://foswiki.org/Support/KnownIssuesOfFoswiki01×00 where we will list the more annoying bugs that have been found and most often you will find an immediate solution that you can apply.

    We will be many developers that are ready to help you with the installation of (or upgrade to) Foswiki on the IRC channel #foswiki on the freenode.org network.

    The special installer and virtual machine versions of Foswiki will be updated to 1.0.5 version within the next days. Keep an eye on the download page if you use one of these versions.

    On behalf of the Foswiki community
    Enjoy the Foswiki 1.0.5
