TWiki got safe with the new release (Score 1)

TWikis next generation (codename Dakar) release will be out in about 10 days from now and it got really changed in every way. For example it got a brand new security model to prevent such hacks very effectively see http://develop.twiki.org/~develop/cgi-bin/view/TWi ki/DakarReleaseNotes#Security:

Dakar Release introduces the use of 'safe pipes' to prevent any malicious request from executing code on the server. This strategy stops any of the known attacks dead in its tracks. The Dakar codebase has not been impacted by any of the recent security advisories in any way. Several public sites have been running Dakar code for some months now, and to the best of our knowledge none has been hacked.

Besides that the codebase got an complete overhaul for better maintainance and stability. Installing it is a breeze with the new configure script!

Beta 2 is already out (http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/TWiki) , is rock solid and best of all SAFE! We decided 2 months ago, that it is stable and so our customers already run TWiki-Dakar with its new security features :-)
