JAMWiki 0.1.1
[Edit]

Release Notes

JAMWiki 0.1.1 is now available for download. This release includes a new GUI for entering message translations (BETA), fixes to the parser to eliminate scripting vulnerabilities, translations for Hungarian, and numerous other fixes and cleanups. See the README.txt and CHANGELOG.txt files for additional details about this release. Additional information and documentation can be found at http://jamwiki.org/.

JAMWiki is distributed as a WAR file that can be deployed like any other WAR file. After restarting the web application server view the URL http://www.yourserver.com/context/ to begin the configuration process (context is the web application context root). For existing JAMWiki users see the release notes for upgrade instructions.

IMPORTANT: While reasonably stable, the JAMWiki code is undergoing rapid development and should be considered beta software, not suitable for deployment on production systems. Feedback and bug reports are requested and can be left at http://jamwiki.org/wiki/en/Bug_Reports.
