Re: SmallWiki on VW : how to get it working. - smallwiki

  Can you try with vw7.1 ? It doesn't work out of
the box with the  
 latest version (0.9.53) from CincomStore, and a user will probably  
 choose the latest version... 
0.9.53 doesn't work in VisualWorks 7.4 either. I don't know the  
person that published those changes, there seems to be quite a lot of  
changes to 0.9.51 after all.

What I also observed is that it depends on a lot of different  
extension packages, that are not part of the core system. Especially  
there is a dependency to a security package that is known not to work  
and that overrides critical methods within the core!

I blessed 0.9.51 as released, people should use this version if they  
need something stable. Afterward they can always try to load some  
extensions manually, if the like.

Maybe the publishers of 0.9.52 and 0.9.53 know more what they changed  
and why it is not working out of the box?
