A Decade of Tiki!

Rick -

It may be hard to believe, but the Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware project was started a decade ago with its first public release on October 9, 2002! From its humble beginnings as a mere wiki, Tiki has grown to become the Free / Libre / Open Source Web Application with the most built-in features. And as the application has grown, so has the community.

Happy Birthday to the entire Tiki Community!

The Tiki 8.5 release represents the final release for the 8.x series. No additional work is planned for the 8.x series. The Tiki 9.x series is planned to be supported (as a Long Term Support) series until November 2015 (or upon the release of Tiki 16).

Tiki admins are highly encouraged to upgrade to Tiki 8.5 or 9.1. As a workaround, Tiki admins can set the Upload progress bar option to None in order to secure their sites. See the Tiki Release Notes (http://tiki.org/ReleaseNotes) for complete information.
