Paris (France), November 26th, 2010

XWiki Enterprise 2.6, the latest version of XWiki Enterprise, has been released. New features in this release include:

  • An overhaul of the activity stream to help better keep track of what's happening in the wiki.
  • The possibility to share a page by email.

Having developed lots of new features in the past releases, the main purpose of this release has been that of stabilizing XWiki Enterprise.

Starting with the 2.0 version, XWiki Enterprise has seen many improvements and a lot of new features. The main direction of the past seven releases has been towards a better ergonomy and usability for XWiki Enterprise.

  • With the new Colibri skin and the color theme editor it's easy to customize the look and feel of the wiki.
  • XWiki is now more social thanks to the activity stream and avatar improvements. A new user profile and user directory have also been introduced.
  • Friends and colleagues can be invited to join the wiki, pages can be shared with them by email and, thanks to the new Watchlist UI, content changes are better tracked. Collaboration has never been this easy.
  • Annotations have been introduced to help better share thoughts and remarks on content.
  • Users and applications can provide documents that can be used as templates when creating new pages.
  • It's easy to import pages with the new XAR import UI and to search those pages with the Lucene search, recently promoted as default.
  • The experimental extension manager provides a better way to install new extensions on top of XWiki Enterprise.

The latest version of XWiki Enterprise contains all the changes listed above and can be downloaded from the XWiki.org website. Read more about XWiki Products and Services on XWiki.com
