Version 4 is the next generation of ScrewTurn Wiki. It offers native support for the
Windows Azure Platform and includes several new features and improvements.
Version 4 is currently in Alpha stage, meaning that it's still in development and not ready for production deployment.
Use it at your own risk, and keep in mind that we might break things in the next development snapshots and
you might not be able to recover your data.

* Will be backported to v3 too for easily upgrading to v4.New Search Engine & IFilter
STW4 uses Lucene.NET, meaning that any file type that has an appropriate
IFilter installed on the system will get indexed. Simple text files are supported out-of-the-box. Microsoft Office documents should already have an IFilter on Windows. For PDFs you'll have to
download and install the IFilter yourself, making sure you pick the correct version (x86 or x64). Note: Adobe Reader on x86 system already installs the PDF IFilter, while this is not true for x64 systems.
