REVINFO usage.
TWiki 4.2.3 is a patch release which only contains an emergency fix to the configure script to close an exploit found in the configure script when left unprotected using apache auth (see the Protect the configure script step in the TWikiInstallationGuide).
It is highly recommended to upgrade TWiki 4.2.x to 4.2.3. Users will find the 4.2.3 much more stable in daily use.
working which per default is located in the twiki root which contains registration_approvals, tmp, and work_areas. See below
http://example.com/twiki/bin/viewfile/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/addon.gif means the same as http://example.com/twiki/bin/viewfile/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics?filename=addon.gif. This make it simpler to use command line tools like wget in Linux to download attachments.
query search mode supports SQL-style queries over form fields and other meta-data.
REVINFO with web specified in topic param renders as though topic does not exist.
$TWiki::cfg{Languages}{jp}{Enabled} = 1; in the lib/LocalSite.cfg to $TWiki::cfg{Languages}{ja}{Enabled} = 1;
NewUserTemplate and UserForm.
The NewUserTemplate was located in the TWiki web and the UserForm in the Main web. When upgrading TWiki these were some of the topics you had to take care not to overwrite.
From 4.2.0 the UserForm and NewUserTemplate are distributed in the TWiki web. If you create the two in the Main web the Main web version will be used instead. So if you tailor the user topic format or the form then you should always copy the two files to the Main web and modify the ones in the Main web. When you later upgrade TWiki your tailored template and form will not be overwritten.
Main.TWikiUsers topic contains all the registered users. It is a topic you do not want to overwrite when you upgrade TWiki.
From 4.2.0 this file is no longer included in the TWiki distribution. When you register the first time TWiki creates the Main.TWikiUsers topic in the Main web if it does not exist already. This means that you can now upgrade TWiki without risk of overwriting the important TWikiUsers topic.
working directory working which per default is located in the twiki root, has been introduced which contains:
TWikiIterators opening the way for much larger
user sets.
