MindTouch Deki 8.05.1 released!
royk @ 2:50 pm
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 #
Get the download instructions for Deki 8.05.1, or read the release notes.
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).

All sounds great but do you intend to release package updates on repo.mindtouch.com for this and future releases or do people that installed from the repository need to update using the source distribution?

Hey Alex,
We do intend to release RPMs for each release, but the guy who did that went on vacation for a few weeks - he’ll be back next week and that will be one of his top priorities.

Thanks Roy… I’m evaluating Deki Wiki for a number of potential uses so I appreciate the prompt feedback and the background about the guy’s vacation is useful as it means I can assume future releases will most likely be packaged much sooner (assuming the release is not around his vacation time again). I will start evaluating against my 8.05 install and hold off updating until new Centos packages are released.
