Version 2.0.32 + Other News

ScrewTurn Wiki 2.0.32 is finally out; a CAPTCHA control has been added to all publicly-available functionalities (namely Edit.aspx, Upload.aspx and Post.aspx), as spam was coming through our Sandbox. I didn’t know whether it was a bot, but I think so because the spam stopped. So far so good.

It turns out that the Web Setup and the Desktop Edition installers didn’t include the Traditional Chinese wiki language (zh-TW). This problems remained undiscovered for 7 months (since version 2.0.20). Apologies for that. Unfortunately, for a few technical reasons, the setup packages are updated manually when new files are added to the application, and the process is incredibly prone to error. I hope we can improve this soon.

I also wanted to inform all of you that, except for emergency patches, version 2.0.32 is going to be the last one of the 2.0.x series, because the development must now focus on the next version, that will be called 3.0 instead of 2.1 (the changes are quite ground-breaking). I’m very excited with the new version, which will include a good bunch of new features such as the long-awaited WYSIWYG editor, an ACL system, namespaces/subwikis and an index-based search engine. Although dates are far from being accurate, I think that version 3.0 Alpha might be out by the end of this month or the beginning of July.
