CHANGES AND UPGRADE:

Major new features since TWiki 04-Sep-2004 release:

• WYSIWYG editor (beta)
• Revamped PatternSkin^? with a modern look and lots of customization options
• Much simpler install and configuration
• Integrated session support
• Webserver-independent login/logout
• Security sandbox blocks all possible routes for remote command execution on the server
• New editing model with conflict resolution allows freer collaboration, without fear of overwriting other people's changes
• Multilingual UI: Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish
• E-mail confirmations for registration to prevent spamming
• Hierarchical sub-web (beta)
• And many, many more enhancements

Many, many people worked on TWiki-4.0.0. A lot of changes have been done in the engine room to make the code maintainable and extensible. Most of the redesign and code refactoring work in the Dakar release was done by Crawford Currie.

I upgraded to the latest version of the BlackListPlugin; an email was sent round warning of a new style of html attachment SPAM. Neat.

One of the benifits is that the new version has adds another check to try to prevent scripted registrations. Please let me know if anyone has trouble registering.

I've updated the HeadlinesPlugin. I needed to update it for the GovTrack feeds to work.
