Zwiki is a Wiki engine based on Zope which allows you to build Wiki Webs (easy-to-edit, flexible, collaborative Web sites) in the Zope environment.

Zwiki is an easy-to-use, fun, and powerful wiki engine based on the Zope web application server; it also works well with the Plone CMS.

Here are some key features of "Zwiki":
simple and fuzzy urls
automatic page hierarchy and subtopics links
smooth two-way mail integration
RSS
issue tracking
dynamic scripting
a variety of text markups including RestructuredText, MoinMoin and LaTeX
WYSIWYG and external editing
fine-grained security
strong internationalization support

What's New in This Release:

Installing
Wiki pages in Plone (or CMF) will no longer show the metadata tab by default.
add isDefaultPageInFolder method, fixing plone 2.5.x support (#1283)

Configuring
don't use # in setupTracker's event log messages, it was confusing

Browsing
don't limit the content area to 80% width in standard skin's stylesheet
clean up plone/cmf tabs/actions
change backlinks form's title to Related pages
in the PAGE/myvotes view, link to pages

Editing
tweak the warning a user sees when too many external links are added
make restructured text be more silent about errors (report severe errors only)
LaTeX support: add the zwiki.org version of LatexWiki to Zwiki's standard plugins (Simon Michael, Bob McElrath, Open Software Services)
Axiom, Reduce, Maxima, Noweb support: add the zwiki.org version of MathAction to Zwiki's standard plugins (Simon Michael, Bill Page)
increase max page name length in editform from 100 to 300 for eg latexwiki formula page names

Issue tracking
make the add issue form respect the edits_need_username property, closing a spam hole (#1279)

translation updates: - German (Stefan Kose) - Japanese (Masaya Kato) - Russian (Valery Sharapov)

General
in embedded DTML, ensure the context object (_.this) can acquire from the folder, as we'd expect. Zope bug ? see collector
