Here is a status on the development towards the next release, which should be the one of the very last release before 1.0. The following major feature have been added to the current SVN version Thanks to the Summer of Code we have now - a WYSIWYG Editor - a Chart Wizard - a new Query Language Additionnally we have: - a new title field and different rendering of document names in links and in the header - a backlinks feature (activated using xwiki.backlinks=1 in xwiki.cfg) - a custom mapping feature allowing to store XWiki Objects in flat tables for advanced developments - new storage of XWiki classes definition in the xwikidoc table instead of multiple tables - the XWiki Preferences now use a custom mapping for better performance - lot's of bug fixes, incl. access through proxies, issues with the multilingual feature - an import/export API (for backups and for XWiki applications) which is needed for the Import/Export XWiki page - improvements to the URL scheme which will allow to reduce the number of elements in the xwiki URLs (currently some XWiki features still need xwiki to run on the /xwiki/ path) These are a lot of new features which needs to be well tested before become fully usable. Most of the features can be deactivated or are backwards compatible. We would need some help from the XWiki community to test this new version and report any issues in JIRA ( http://jira.xwiki.org ). Except for the preferences storage and the xwiki classes definition storage, it is possible to revert to an older version even if running the new version. Now it is highly recommended to backup your database and test with care on production data. I'm planning to provide a test build for developers, but if you want to test right away, you will need to build XWiki from the SVN code. The plan for getting XWiki to 1.0 is: - bug fixing - bug fixing - documentation - very small missing features - bug fixing - documentation - revamp of the XWiki interface according to the Usability report done during the summer - bug fixing - documentation Any help or comments is welcome. For now it would be usefull to identify bugs that would absolutely need to be fixed before releasing this version to replace 0.9.840. The objective is to provide an improvement versus 0.9.840 and allow working with the new features, not necessarily to provide a perfect version.
