Please note Alpha 2, like Alpha 1, is only compatible with vBulletin 4.1.4 and higher. We will be adding download access for other platforms as product stability increases. Until then, since stability is important across all platforms, we think it best to keep reporting and debugging of such issues as uncomplicated as possible by only providing one platform release at a time.
In this Alpha, you'll notice:
- New: Another Wiki URL Format
- New: CSS StyleVars
- Better stability of the installer/upgrader
- Better stability on servers where the MySQLi extension is not installed
- Better data integrity after upgrading from VaultWiki 3
- Better stability of all variants of the BB-Code parser
- Broken editor modes and tools are fixed
- Better stability when deleting wiki data
Since this is still an Alpha release, we still do not recommend installing VaultWiki 4 Alpha 2 on production sites at this time.
Note on Recent Download Unavailability
When we first attempted to release Alpha 2 nearly 24 hours ago, it caused our Members area to break. The existing server-side code that crawled our directories where VaultWiki is stored in order to deliver only the most recently updated file revisions was not designed with the sheer size of VaultWiki 4 in mind (due to MVC, multi-platform, and other design preferences, VaultWiki 4 is roughly 10 times larger than VaultWiki 3).We spent the last 24 hours redesigning the Members area database and rewriting the code that pulls builds out of our VaultWiki Depot, and the result has allowed us to turn the Members area back on and offer VaultWiki 4 for download once again.
You may also notice that your downloads are compiled much faster than they were before.
