<br>
<b>Zwiki news this month</b><br>
We have been quiet but not idle. Bill Page and Martijn Pieters
contributed fixes, T.C. Chou updated the chinese translations and
Masaya Kato and a team of fellow translators contributed a japanese
translation. Zettai.net made a donation, again, in support of Zwiki
development and hosting. Thank you!<br>
<br>
Bug reporting rate has been low and steady; bug closing rate has been
low. The next Zwiki Bug Day is.. today! april 1st being the first
friday of
the month. I wasn't ready but it's going on anyway as scheduled, help
at <a href="http://zwiki.org/BugDay.">http://zwiki.org/BugDay</a> and
#zwiki if you can.<br>
<br>
In the documentation department I am doing a little work on <a
href="http://zwiki.org/UsersGuide%29">http://zwiki.org/NewAdministratorsGuide</a>
each day. <br>
<br>
Discussion on the list, UserDiscussion page and irc channel has been
light. We've had a few incidents of wiki spam this month, both
intentional and otherwise. I switched zwiki.org to mail out all edits,
to make this more visible; we list subscribers are adapting to the
increased level of traffic and have discussed how to batch related
edits into fewer mails.<br>
<br>
This month I resolved to focus on QA for 2005: <br>
<br>
<i>"Alright.. this may be difficult, but (deep breath):
I resolve not to work on new Zwiki features in 2005.
I may well accept them from others, but I won't do them myself. This is
to focus (my) energy on refactoring, cleanup, polish, docs, and fixing
"broken windows". More:
</i>
<ul>
<li><i>in case that was unclear, this is not Zwiki winding down; it's
a
quality push for 1.0. Feature work from others is welcome as ever.</i></li>
<li><i>tasks that are funded in some way will almost always jump to
the head of the queue and become priority no. 1, as before."</i> </li>
</ul>

<b>Zopewiki news<br>
</b>Edits on zopewiki.org have been light; small ongoing improvements
from a small number of people. <br>

<b>Server news</b><br>
The zwiki.org/zopewiki.org server basically ran all month without
exceeding the 200M memory quota or restarting and performance has been
reasonable. Those wikis currently have 2164 and 464 pages respectively.<br>
<br>

Zwiki 0.40.0 2005/04/01<br>
<br>
Summary<br>
<br>
Bugfixes, new japanese translation, chinese translation updates,<br>
new search option.<br>
<br>
Upgrade notes<br>
<br>
This fixes a high-profile known issue in 0.39, #1062. If you<br>
didn't already find the issue page and workaround, upgrade to this<br>
version to fix it.<br>
<br>
Changes<br>
<br>
Browsing<br>
<br>
* add a "thorough" non-catalog search to search form, commented<br>
out (for spam hunting)<br>
<br>
Editing<br>
<br>
* fix the keys attribute error when creating pages in plone
(#1062)<br>
<br>
* deleting a top-level page redirects to the front page again;
new<br>
upUrl method (#917, Martijn Pieters, SM)<br>
<br>
Issue tracking<br>
<br>
* no bogus property change. Some very aggressive search engines<br>
(spiders) seem to be following form action="xxxx" references in<br>
pages as well as the usual href links. As a result probes by<br>
such greedy theives can cause unexpected changes to wiki web<br>
pages. One such example recently has been the triggering of the<br>
Change button on the Issue pages. The script<br>
changeIssueProperties should be more careful not to record any<br>
change if the Change action is triggered with no actually<br>
changes. (Bill Page)<br>
<br>
General - i18n<br>
<br>
* new japanese translation (Masaya Kato, Manabu Terada, Yoshiki<br>
Shibukawa, Takayuki Shimizukawa, Junya Ogino, Takanori Suzuki)<br>
<br>
* chinese translation updates (T.C. Chou)<br>
<br>
* updated all po files from latest pot<br>
<br>
General - skins<br>
<br>
* the site_logo folder property didn't work in plone<br>
