I posted the following to a couple of mailing lists today. Figured I better copy it here. (2PQ)
I'm proud to announce the release of the latest version of PurpleWiki: 0.9.1. (2PR)
This release fixes several bugs, notably a problem with viewing previous versions of files, and adds a few new features: (2PS)
- Searching is provided by a set of pluggable modules that can be extended. Modules are provided for searching the wiki, bloxsom and MovableType weblogs, Google, Arts repositories and irclogs in wikitext format. (2PT)
- Support for WikiWhiteboards?. See http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/11/19/svgwiki.html (2PU)
- Transclusions can be retrieved as plain text in addition to the usual HTML and, if necessary, can be retrieved from sites requiring HTTP Basic Authentication. (2PV)
Additional bug fixes and features are listed in the ChangeLog?, which can be found at: (2PW)
