Changes: This release fixes a hierarchical ACL security bug (the default, non-hierarchical ACLs were not affected). It fixes some bugs in the creole parser, msie.css (IE8 rendering), and HTTP authentication (better compliance with the specs). New features include an EmbedObject macro using a default width of 100% for PDF files (use a recent Adobe Reader to make this work) and CopyPage action using a TextCha now.

Anchor parsing and sanitizing were fixed to be more usable and consistent. Xapian search was fixed, especially historysearch. Miscellaneous other fixes were made. One new feature was added: the logging of IP addresses to edit-log and event-log can be disabled now.

Changes: The big new features of this release are a major GUI editor upgrade, many GUI editor related bugfixes, and a new "modernized" theme. It also has quite a few smaller features, bugfixes, and cleanups.

Changes: This release fixes the leakage of edit-log file handles (it leaked 1 file handle per request). If you run a persistent server process (everthing except CGI), please upgrade. There were also multiple fixes of less severe bugs, but no new features.

Changes: This release fixes one XSS security issue and quite a few (non-security) bugs, including storage, search, argument parsing, server, macro, action, parser, and authentication compatibility fixes. It adds a new 'cache' action for fast serving of rendered objects directly from the cache, and updates the 'caching' module with a file-like API.

I've been using MoinMoin for about 3 months now, i've build it to be used as an information webserver for the helpdesk where i worked. So far it's doing a wonderfull job, and it increased the close on first call rate. The only think i thought missed, would be an addon so that all pages can be modified, but the modification don't take effect until approved by an admin. Other than that... amazing
MoinMoin is pretty cool
I use a lot of Wikis and I rate MoinMoin as one of the best. There are also a rapidly increasing number (with the huge apache wiki farm moving to MM from usemod).
The only minor irritations IMHO are (1) that when you log on you are given a random USERID, as well as your password, which you have to remember for logging on (2) the revert is a bit fiddly (3) the standard help pages which overwrite with upgrades free have a pretty stodgy layout and contain errors (like first wiki was 25 March 1995 but is listed as 1994 etc.)

Excellent Wikki!
If you not know wikkis, give MoinMoin a try. You will
be surprised at how powerful it is.
I give MoinMoin a 10.
