Dear all, If you thought Instiki was a dead project, you were right. Since I’ve got a day job that doesn’t suck (Official Ruby Zealot of ThoughtWorks Canada), my motivation to do open source greatly sufferred 🙂 But… but… but! Here is Instiki 0.11.0, and in this version Instiki is (finally!) moving to ActiveRecord backend and (finally!) has the File Upload feature. Instiki is a Wiki Clone [http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiWikiClones](http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiWikiClones) that’s so easy to set up and so pretty to look at, you’Íl be wondering whether this is a real wiki at all. It is also the most frequently downloaded end-user application on RubyForge, surpassed only by Rails, One Click Installer and RubyGems. Changes in this version: SQL-based backend (ActiveRecord) File uploads (finally) Upgraded to Rails 1.0.0 Replaced internal link generator with routing Fixed --daemon option Removed Rubygem and native OS X distributions Improved HTML diff More accurate “See Changes” The released files are available at [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=186](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=186) Online documentation is at [http://instiki.org](http://instiki.org). Source code and bug tracker are at [http://dev.instiki.org](http://dev.instiki.org) README at [http://svn.instiki.org/instiki/tags/release-0.11.0/README](http://svn.instiki.org/instiki/tags/release-0.11.0/README) contains instructions on how to install this version and migrate data from Instiki 0.10 or Instiki-AR beta. Especially big thanks to Rick O. aka technoweenie for his help with porting Instiki to ActiveRecord. Big thanks to DHH and Co. for Rails, to Why the Lucky Stiff for RedCloth, and everybody who sent me patches and otherwise prodded me to keep going for that extra bit of motivation. Best regards, Alexey V. ---

Alex, My Ruby version: ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32] I’m a bit hesitant to upgrade since all my current apps work well with this version and my host (TD) is also at this version. I’ll try running it with InstantRails (ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]) and see if that works better. I poked around while running it under Instant Rails and no problems so far.

Hmm… Neither c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:88, nor c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:41 contain anything remotely interesting on my PC. The latter is in the middle of a large comment block, in fact. I suspect your Ruby version is not the same as mine. I have One Click Installer 1.8.4.16 preview3: C:\eclipse\workspace\instiki\>ruby -v ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32] What’s yours? In case it’s not the same, can you try to upgrade from [http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/8338/ruby184-16p3.exe](http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/8338/ruby184-16p3.exe) and see what happens?

Part of the problem turns out to be that the web password was lost when I upgraded. Had to hack the db to get it working, and then the changes I made stuck. KL ---
