We’re proud to announce the immediate availability of MindTouch Deki Jay Cooke 8.05.1 for both source and VM installs.

The final bug count was 167 (wow!), plus we made significant improvements in the performance of our application - the combination of API caching as well as third party open-source applications like eAccelerator improved performance on our test box from 1.94 req/second up to 25 req/second! A big thanks goes out to the Mozilla guys for helping out with performance tests and providing feedback on the 8.05.1 release.

As I wrote previously in the RC1 blog post, this release also contains a few features:

• single sign-on utilizing Apache/IIS authentication modules (experimental) which this allows for easy integration with auth systems like NTLM #
• digitally signed requests to extensions #
• authentication for private RSS feeds #
• ability to generate content inside the editor which affect different parts of the skin #

Our next release is Killen Woods, which is slated for the middle of July. For our Wik.is users, we will be updating Wik.is with the 8.05.1 bits sometime in the next two weeks (email forthcoming).
