The next major version of TikiWiki CMS/Groupware is now undergoing beta testing in preparation for release. The current version being tested is Beta 1. If you want to help with beta testing, check out Branch110Beta for more information, or read what's new in Tikiwiki 1.10. Thanks to all who helped to test, debug, document, and package in the days prior to the beta release and thanks in advance to all doing further testing and documentation. This is a real community wide effort.

Tiki 1.9.10.1 (a quickfix of never released 1.9.10) was released on 2008-02-23.

Compared to 1.9.9, this release contains 78 code commits by franck, lphuberdeau, luciash, marclaporte, mose, nkoth and sylvieg from 2007-12-22 to 2008-02-23.

A month ago, on a cold winter day in Ottawa, Canada, ten of us gathered to work on TikiWiki. It was a hectic day, with many ongoing projects.

This has been a very busy week-end in Montréal, Canada. 19 open source & open standards enthusiasts gathered for a week-end coding sprint. Many of them were working on enhancing TikiWiki.

TikiWiki CMS/Groupware has been named to the Seventh Annual EContent 100. The annual list contains the companies "that matter most in the digital content industry."

The wealth of new features and enhancements contained in the upcoming Release 1.10 will no doubt maintain Tiki's position as one of the best digital content and social media platforms.
