Tiki 18.1 has been released (fixes and security update)
-We, the Tiki community, warmly encourage current Tiki users to update to - and new users to try out - Tiki 18.1 and benefit from the new features, options and fixes. Thanks to the hundreds of reports and wishes submitted by Tiki testers and community members, the changes from 15 to 18 have been impressive and this update continues that trend. This is another occasion to remind you that updating your site regularly will ease your own update and maintenance process as well as keep your site as secure as possible.
This is also the time to say goodbye to Tiki 17, which has come to the end of its support period and won’t be further upgraded.
The security team would like to give thanks and credit to Pranav Digambar Jagtap @pranavH4x0r, chbi of https://chbi.eu, Karim of ripstech.com and Omar Kurt of netsparker.com for their security reports and help to make Tiki a safer application.
If you like Tiki and find it useful, we invite you to join the Tiki community and to help fund our open source project.
Tiki 18.0 released
-Tiki 18, originally scheduled for an December 2017 release but pushed back for extra fixes and enhancements, brings a number of significant new features including a Composer web installer, integration of better GUI (drag and drop interface), a new Style-Guide tool, a major upgrade of the external libraries for H5P, the open source platform for creating rich HTML5 content, and many improvements around trackers, wiki plugins and the system admins tools (for detailed info and list, visit: https://doc.tiki.org/tiki18).
For the most polished and feature-complete Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware experience, an upgrade to Tiki 18.0 or new installation as a first Tiki website is highly recommended!
Tiki Celebrates 15th Birthday
-On October 8, Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware marked 15 years of continuous development. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to the project over the years by coding and bug-fixing, creating and hosting websites, and providing great feedback for further improvement.
The 15-year milestone was celebrated over a tonkatsu dinner at TikiFest Japan 2017 as Marc (Laporte) told the story of how Luis Argerich began work on the software in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2002. Tiki has steadily grown to become the Open Source web application platform with the most built-in features, leveraging the efficiency of the all-in-one, no-third-party-plugins model.
Happy Birthday, Tiki!

Tiki 17.0 released
-Tiki 17, originally scheduled for an April 2017 release but pushed back for extra fixes and enhancements, brings a number of significant new features including support for modern favicons, password blacklists, and a new method for annotations.
New external libraries integrated as features include H5P, the open source platform for creating, sharing, and reusing interactive HTML5 content; and CasperJS, a browser navigation scripting and testing utility written in JavaScript for PhantomJS or SlimerJS. (Correction: A previous version of this article stated that Exposé IDS (intrusion detection system) is a new feature in Tiki 17. This feature will debut in Tiki 18. Sorry about any confusion.)
Feature advancements include a massive improvement in PDF generation via mPDF, tracker additions and enhancements including a more versatile user selector field type, typography enhancements based on PHP SmartyPants, and a number of new wiki plugins.
