Hey everybody,

I’m proud to announce the availability of Release Candidate 1 of Deki Wiki 1.9.0. Since this is a Release Candidate, it is not available yet for our VM users - we will do more QA coverage on this release to make sure upgrading won’t break your systems! The final release of 1.9.0 will be ready by next week. If you’re a brave techie, please try out this release; I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at all the UI goodness.

A quick run-down on the major changes in this release:

• Revamped dialogs - we’ve significantly improved the ability to locate content from any dialog that traverses your Deki Wiki (like the link + image dialogs)
• Mashup generator - Guerric created a new dialog which exposes a user interface for generating output to embed Deki Wiki Extensions into your page. Now it’s even easier to create mashups! (Check out an example of how useful these mashups are!)
• Revamped installer - to be more compatible with Linux packaging best practices, we’ve overhauled the installation process of Deki Wiki
• More extensions! - Max wrote a Mantis extension, which I’m already making use of in the release notes page (see the changelog!)

If you have suggestions (or issues) about this release, please join our forums. We will continue to polish up this release and make it ready for upgrade in production environments!
