WebODF is now included as a feature, Tiki Docs. "Like Tiki Draw, the WebODF integration will by default save a new revision at each save," the release documentation explains. "Thus, if something goes wrong, the previous file version is available." Other improvements include fixes to the handling of non-English characters in wiki pages, a German translation and support for Google Street View.
Several new and improved plugins are in Tiki 8, including PluginCustomSearch, which creates custom unified search user interfaces to search for objects in Tiki and uses PluginList functionality to show search results. PluginDraw permits users to embed a drawing in a wiki page, and PluginSlider, which can handle wiki syntax and display text, images, video, and flash, is also new.
Tiki 6 LTS
Although Tiki 8 means the end of life for Tiki 7, Tiki 6.0, which was released in November 2010, replaced Tiki 3 as the Long Term Support (LTS) version. The next LTS version, Tiki 9, is scheduled for release in April 2012.
