With a code commit (change) every two hours ¹ it can be difficult to keep up with all the new features, fixes, and changes in Tiki. It is important to stay "in the loop" of these changes, whether you are an "early adopter" getting updates directly from the SVN repository or simply a member of the Tiki Community interested ins seeing what's coming in future releases.


Now, in addition to the commit mailing list, we've created a Twitter stream that contains this information. You can follow all the code updates at @tiki_code.

Be sure to follow the other Tiki Twitter accounts too!

• @TikiWiki — The official Tiki Twitter account
• @tiki_search — Automated Twitter search of all things Tiki-related.
• Tikifest — Channel to follow Tiki meetings (known as Tikifests)

Tiki has released updates for both current release branches: 3.5 and 4.2. Both updates include bug fixes, feature polishing, and security updates². All Tiki sites are strongly encouraged to update to the latest version to take advantage of security fixes and updates. See http://tikiwiki.org/download to determine which branch (3.x or 4.x) best suits your needs.

TikiWiki CMS/Groupware (http://tikiwiki.org), the open source, wiki-based content management system continues to be one of the most active projects on SourceForge, consistently ranking in the top 15 in terms of SVN code commits (http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/rank_history.php?group_id=64258&ugn=tikiwiki).

According to Ohloh.net, Tiki is "one of the largest open-source teams in the world, and is in the top 2% of all project teams on Ohloh." (http://www.ohloh.net/p/tikiwiki/factoids/). This diverse and extensive community effort has fueled more than 800,000 downloads (http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=64258&ugn=tikiwiki&type=prdownload) plus countless one-click installations through control panel applications such as Fantastico.

Further polishing Tiki 3, the TikiWiki developers have released version 3.3. This release includes wiki syntax and plugin fixes, strengthened security, and improvements in language translations and visual display, among many others.

With 200 new fixes and enhancements, Tiki 3.2 is now available. Features and functions improved in this release include modules, plugins, newsletters, browser support, calendars, overall interface and language, and many more.

In another step forward, Tiki 3.1 has been released. Once again, thanks to the users for providing feedback, to the developers for their code contributions, to the Quality Team for their careful checking of commits, and to everyone else in the TikiWiki community who helped out. Tiki 3.1 is available at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64258&package_id=312463&release_id=692872

Tiki 3.0 is now released!

Thanks again to all who helped in making Tiki 3.0 a reality, and especially those who worked extra hard during the release process.

This version of Tiki marks a new milestone in the development of the project, as we embark on building a community around Tiki Profiles, and as the Quality Team works to help ensure that necessary bug fixes and incremental improvements make it to the 3.x versions while maintaining quality, even as cool new features are worked on for 4.0.

Regarding site upgrades to Tiki 3 from older versions, please note that many changes were made in styles, such as switching to a tableless design and revamping how buttons are styled. Many themes that were in the package are no longer supported. (Please read Theme Issues when Updating to Tiki 3.0) Plan some time to update your style if you are not ready to change it to a bundled one.

A new TikiLiveCD 0.5 has been produced, including the Tiki 3.0 beta1 recently released and subversion!

This month lots of activity is going on through several TikiFests. Sometimes we are able to provide Live streaming from them, besides the irc channel (see TikiFests page).

Videos
In addition, sometimes a video camera is available and some better videos are recorded to allow (re)viewing calmly what was presented, discussed or decided on those fest... Have you already see the videos from the past TikiFestMadrid ?

Participate
Feel free to participate as much as possible even if you cannot attend in person.

There are many ways to participate from where you are even if you are not a coder, since very frequently testing is needed, and documentation needs to be updated with the things many people like you learn during the tikifest or know beforehand which are related to the things in the TikiFest agenda.

So, why not providing you two cents back to the community with this distant participation, while meeting the coders behind TikiWiki CMS/Groupware in action?

A new Tiki Live CD is available including the final version released for the new Tikiwiki 2.0!
