Instiki is back on fork-challenged platforms (hello Windows!) after a short hiatus in the 0.5 release. It now also properly snapshots the Madeleine database when running in Daemon mode. So hopefully we should be working all around.

More interestingly, there’s a bunch of cool new features in Instiki. You can export the entire web to HTML files that come bundled in a pkzip (thanks rubyzip!), which works great for taking backups or distributing a wiki. It’s also a half-decent CMS this way that you can use to write documentation to all of those wonderful Ruby projects.

There’s also RSS feeds. Two flavors: Full content or just the headlines. Unfortunately, there’s a few problems with international characters like æåø that’ll render the XML invalid (so readers like Feed Reader? chokes). Any help to get that working properly will be much appriciated.

And thanks a ton to both Florian for a bunch of great patches and to Why The Lucky for keeping Red Cloth? running at full force.

Check out the full change log at the self-hosting Instiki wiki.
