It can fulfill a wide range of roles, such as a personal notes organizer deployed on a laptop or home web server, a company knowledge base deployed on an intranet, or an Internet server open to individuals sharing the same interests, goals or projects. A wiki is a collaborative hypertext environment with an emphasis on easy manipulation of information. MoinMoin 1.3.3 is a release that fixes a vulnerability that could lead to indirect read access of all pages in a wiki. Upgrading is recommended for all users, especially for those who run MoinMoin 1.3.2: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinDownload Wiki page about the bug: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/FullTextSearchIgnoresAcl The bug just affects MoinMoin 1.3.2 installations. Major bugs that were fixed in MoinMoin 1.3.2 -------------------------------------------- * Changing a group page is not respected by the wiki while checking the permissions (bug in wikidicts). * Slow (compared to 1.2) when running with persistent servers. * Does not support configurations with no underlay directory. * Failure in the BadContent code could lead to a uneditable wiki, when moinmaster site was down. * Problems on Python 2.2.x (x >= 2). * Using gdchart for charts might lead to an instability. * Fixed non-ASCII page names for Apache 2 on Windows. New features ------------ * Better ReStructuredText support is built-in now. See HelpOnParsers. * Create new pages easily using configurable interface and page templates with the new NewPage macro. For a more detailed list of changes, see the CHANGES file in the distribution or http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinRelease1.3/CHANGES Major new features in 1.3 ========================= * MoinMoin speaks your language! Complete Unicode support, translated system and help pages in more than ten languages, and support for languages written from right to left are the base features of our internationalisation support. * Fresh look and feel. New default user interface design, improved existing themes and enhanced theme plug-in framework that make it easier to modify the design or create completely new user interface. * Find anything on your wiki, instantly. New search engine and streamlined Google-like search interface, using multiple search terms, regular expressions, search term modifiers and boolean search. * Antispam - keep spammers out of you wiki. Protect your wiki with automatically updated spam patterns maintained on the MoinMaster wiki, and shared by all MoinMoin wikis worlwide. * Underlay directory - easy upgrade and maintenance. New streamlined directory layout protects all system and help pages in a separate underlay directory. * Run with your favorite server. Use either a standalone server that requires only Python, the high performance Twisted server, Apache with Fast CGI, mod_python or plain CGI. * Multiconfig - easier, more powerful configuration. New class-based configuration allow you to easily configure single or multiple wikis sharing a common setup. MoinMoin History ================ MoinMoin has been around since year 2000. Most of the codebase was written by Jürgen Hermann; it is currently being developed by a growing team. Being originally based on PikiPiki, it has evolved heavily since then (PikiPiki and MoinMoin 0.1 consisted of just one file!). Many large enterprises have been using MoinMoin as a key tool of their intranet, some even use it for their public web page. A large number of Open Source projects use MoinMoin for communication and documentation. Of course there is also a large number of private installations.
