Here it is - the final release of SimplyWiki 1.1! This version is packed with new features and improvements and you are encouraged to upgrade to this version, if you are using SimplyWiki 1.0, or even an older version of Wiwimod. If you haven't tried this module, yet, SimplyWiki is one of the best wiki modules for ImpressCMS and XOOPS, and the only native module for them. There are only a few small changes since the RC release, addressing the system search results.

XOOPS 2.3.3 Final has been published by XOOPS.org, primarily focusing on bug fixes, but also offering some improvements in the user experience. The areas receiving the most changes were the new profile module, the installer and the default themes provided with the core installation.

The merging of the XOOPS 2.0 branch and the XOOPS 2.2 branch continues in this release, offering a migration path for users of both development tracks. Also of note is the return of several developers that had gone on to develop their own forks of XOOPS - Simple-XOOPS, EXM and Zarilia. No roadmap has been published, yet, for the future of XOOPS, or what the priorities will be to recombine these 4 systems + XOOPS 2.2. With that much talent and all those systems to work with, there's sure to be a lot of activity coming soon.

SimplyWiki 1.1, based on Wiwimod - a WYSIWYG wiki module for ImpressCMS and XOOPS, has now reached RC (release candidate) status and updated packages are ready for you to download. Beta testing has progressed well and only a few fixes are in this release -

• Date display in admin area for other date formats
• Moved all date formatting to output and not in data retrieval
• Global notification event was not being triggered
• Index tags need absolute URLs (IndexPage and RecentChanges)

ImpressCMS 1.1.2 Final has just been released by the ImpressCMS Project with a bunch of improvements and additions. Most significant were some security improvements to captcha and session handling for both users and administrators. In addition, the core begins to leverage more of the native PHP5 capabilities for a significant commitment to future development on a secure and stable platform.

If you have made the move to ImpressCMS, this release will provide you with an important set of fixes - this release is fully tested and ready for your production web sites. If you haven't tried ImpressCMS, this is the release to start your new site with.

Feature development for SimplyWiki 1.1 has been completed and it is now ready for beta testing! SimplyWiki has developed over the past few months, continuing on from Wiwimod, which was last released as a XOOPS module in 2005. This release includes the first new set of features for the module since that time. SimplyWiki (Wiwimod 0.83+) was released in November 2008 and only addressed existing functionality.

This version of SimplyWiki is compatible with XOOPS 2.0.x and 2.3.x, and ImpressCMS 1.0 and 1.1. Known issues are problems with PDF generation of special characters - that will be addressed in the next release with the use of an updated PDF class.
