SF.net Project News: Very Quick Wiki (veryquickwiki project) - Very Quick Wiki is a Java Server Pages based WikiWikiWeb clone. It's goal is to be as lightweight but as functional as possible. It is deployed by dropping a single war file into any J2EE web container without any extra installation processes.
Some important big fixes required us to release a 2.8.1 version of VQWiki.
You can find the release notes on JIRA here:
http://issues.vqwiki.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10000&styleName=Html&version=10030
If you are affected by one of the issues listed, please upgrade, the process is mostly a drop-in replacement, but don't forget to backup your data before doing it.
Thanks for your patience.

Hi, after two RC releases we're finally able to announce the final release of VQWiki 2.8.
This release is the last one in the 2.8 branch and contains mostly bug fixes and updated documentation. The code has been cleaned up and refactored to be merged in the 3.0 branch, to keep incompatibilities as low as possible. A 2.8.1 version will be made available only if required by the users for fixes of any bug should arise.
Here are the full release notes:
http://issues.vqwiki.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10000&styleName=Html&version=10020
As usual any bug fix and support request should be sent through JIRA:
http://issues.vqwiki.org
Other news:
1) the vqwiki-users has been moved to SourceForge
2) adding virtual wikis does not require anymore changes to web.xml and webapp restart
I would also like to thank all the people who have made this release possible, Filippo Diotalevi, Gian Carlo Pace, Andreas Studer and Bruno Bossola and obviously Martijn for all his work on the project.
Hi all, it's time for a new VQWiki binary package before the official 2.8 release, so here we have VQWiki 2.8 RC2!
We have another RC2 as the changes were bigger than expected, so once again we seek feedback from you, the current VQWiki users, and we invite you to upgrade (after a propert backup) and verify everything is ok so we can ship the 2.8 final. Thanks for all the support.
A reminder for the latest news introduced with RC1:
1) JIRA has moved to http://issues.vqwiki.org
2) the MySQL JDBC driver is not included anymore in the WAR, and you have to download and add it manually
2) there is a new self-executable JAR distribution that embeds the winstone servlet container, it can be launched with "java -Dvqwiki.propertiesFile=vqwiki.properties -jar vqwiki-2.8-RC2.jar" and you will have a vqwiki already running on port 8080 with file-based persistence
A full list of changes from 2.7.91 is on JIRA:
http://issues.vqwiki.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10000&styleName=Html&version=10020
Have fun!

Hi, I'm Marcello Teodori, new project lead for VQWiki, and I'm happy to announce we're finally making available VQWiki 2.8 RC1. This release is mostly a bugfix release which tries to cover all the issues from JIRA on the 2.8 beta, before letting the project move forward to the 3.0 branch.
This release is a RC1 because it is meant to collect all the feedback from the current VQWiki users, so everyone's invited to upgrade and verify everything is ok before freezing a proper 2.8 final in the next few weeks. Thanks for all the support.
Another couple of info:
1) JIRA has moved to http://issues.vqwiki.org
2) there is also a new self-executable JAR distribution that embeds the winstone servlet container
I would also like to thank the volunteers who have helped with this release, Filippo Diotalevi, Gian Carlo Pace, Andreas Studer and Bruno Bossola and obviously Martijn for all his work on the project.

First off, my sincere apologies for the fact that I've not responded to messages or continued my work on VQWiki.
Unfortunately, I have been quite ill and this has led to my decision to step down as the VQWiki project leader.
I will offcourse be happy to see the project continue on with another project lead whom has already stepped forward. For me however, the road ends here.
The project's new lead will be Marcello Teodori from Italy. He is already familiar with the project and its goals and I'm sure he'll do a fine job of it.
Again, my apologies for the lack of communication from my side. I hope you will understand. I also hope to be able to contribute to this project again in the future.
- Martijn
