Requirements

Please note this (and future) versions require at least PHP 7!
This release has been tested with MySQL 5.7.21 and PHP 7.2.4.

Additional details in SystemRequirements.

This version now uses the more secure PHP password_hash algorithm; the MD5 hash algorithm has been deprecated as of this release and is slated for removal within the next few releases. If you have a site with few users, simply changing the password for each user will generate the more secure password hash and bypass the MD5 check. If you have a busier site, there is an option on the AdminUsers page called "Force password reset for all non-admin users":

force_password_reset

Clicking this will force non-admin users to change their passwords (and by default transition to the more secure password hash). For safety reasons, admin users will need to manually initiate a password change before their passwords are upgraded.

We also introduce a new formatter for CSV data as well as numerous bug fixes.

Bug reports concerning this new security upgrade (as well as for other issues) are always welcome on theGithub issues tracker.

Issues fixed in this release

You can find details on all security fixes, new/improved functionality and bugs/other issues here.

Installation notes

Installation can be completed using either the upgrade method or by installing a fresh package.

NOTE: This version has registrations disabled by default. You MUST enable user registrations in wikka.config.php ('allow_user_registration' => '1',) to allow access by users other than the administrator set up during installation.
