It's been a while since the last Release Candidate of VaultWiki. While we had hoped for the build after RC3 to be stable, we did not expect so many bug reports to flood in at the last second. This did cause a huge delay, but we are pretty confident that any remaining bugs would only be minor.
Thanks to your help, we are pleased to announce the stable release of VaultWiki 2.0.0. There are a number of new features in this release that deserve some attention. I'm sure you'll find some on your own, but these may be less obvious.
.PHP-less URLs
We probably all remember the URLs from MediaWiki that can be configured to look like /wiki/ArticleTitle. This is now possible in VaultWiki by simply activating the option (of course you will still need to modify .htaccess to suit your needs).
Article Preview
Previously, Auto Links were the only links in VaultWiki to receive the handy popup previews containing the first few lines of the target articles. This functionality now extends to all links to articles in your wiki.
Advanced Forum Marking
When viewing the forum list, VaultWiki displays Wiki forums with a special icon. Like other forums, if a Wiki forum contains new posts since your last visit, the icon may look a bit different. Unlike other standard forums, the icon may look different still if the Wiki forum contains a new Article.
New TOC Flag
In the stable release, we had to change a number of things about how the Table of Contents is generated in order to support flags with the [toc] BB-Code in cached posts. While we were at it, we added the NONUM flag to remove the chapter numbers from the Table of Contents.
