Version 1.5.5
As of v1.5.5 the 3FWiki product is also capable of handling advanced image controls, links, flash, audio and video streams. We also incorporated support for content ranking, expanded our built-in analytic system to tracking external links and their click-through along with feedback per page, producing what many call blogging.New Wiki Markeup
!!
- Double Exclamation Point inserts <br> to your content. This is helpful for TH and TD cells (advanced table feature).
\<anything>
- Backslash character forces the next character to be displayed in literal form. This is useful when you wish to use a character sequence normally processed by the Wiki engine. Like \* slash-asterisks forces the asterisks to show instead of it becoming an indented bullet.
[[Page Name]]
- This has always been our method to denote a link from one page to another. However, it has been expanded to support a range of additional features now: [[Page Name|Title|style parameters]]
- The Second parameter allows for a different text to show inplace of the link. The style parameters is the new piece, you can do things like text-decoration:none;color:red;border:1px solid yellow;
[[Server Path|Title|style parameters]]
- Link to a file or path residing on the server, outside of the 3F Wiki Engine.
[[http://Server Path|Title|style parameters]]
[[ftp://Server Path|Title|style parameters]]
- Link to a file on another site, the link opens a new window.
[[file:/Server Path|Title|style parameters]]
- Produces a A HREF link to the file after the colon.
[[image:/Server Path|Title|style parameters]]

[[link:/Server Path|Title url(_url_)|style parameters]]
- Produces a IMG SRC link to the file after the colon, which when clicked will go to the _url_ specified at the end of the title field.
[[category:cat1,cat2,cat3]]
- Associates this page with one or more categories. Some products like WordPress use this to categorize the content of your site. Our approach allows one or more pages to exist in one or more categories.
[[flash:filename.swf|title|style parameters]]
- Generates cross-browser compatible flash output. Understanding height, width, border, margin and padding versus parameters for the flash component. This is gearing up for the next major release which has 100+ different flash libraries built-in.

All other changes from v1.5.4 to 1.5.5 were geared towards the desktop utility called CORKY.
Version 1.5.4
Implemented a table for tracking uploaded files and images. This was needed for the desktop utility called CORKY. Added PASCAL Code high-lighting, and started working on PYTHON Code high-lighting. This helped http://www.friends-of-fpc.org/ and will help their upcoming http://www.friends-of-py.org/ site.
Version 1.5.3
Started adding features to gear for blogging, including user databases. Made a major revision to the TAG engine, which optimized the "New Page" routines by 60%+. This also allowed us to experiment with multi-database replication in a master-master environment.
Version 1.5.2
As of this build we are gearing up to release the product as a commercial solution for businesses. This included some additions for implementing forms of security and rollback -- thanks to www.altushost.com for allowing one of their customers to mess with our production site without recourse.
New Configuration Options:
- BY_IP_ONLY
- BY_IP_ONLY_NOTICE_TOPIC
Version 1.5.1
This build is our start to implement a new configuration option EDITOR=1, which enables a WYSIWYG editor interface. This will allow total novices who wish to have simplified Wiki interface by limiting their control to the visual aspects and controls. Meaning, in the WYSIWYG mode you will not be able to work with tables or other advanced features. However, you will still be able to control the appearance, links, indentation, etc.
Version 1.5.0
A modification was required to implement support for DB2's ODBC connectors. This was a quick fix, however, we felt it warranted a jump on the minor version number. So, this build is v1.5.0.
Version 1.4.36
We introduced the ability to have custom layouts per wiki article/page. This allows for people to have different looks and layouts on different topics. For example, page "Hello_World" changes for a matching html/hello_world.html template. If found, that template is used instead of the default html/browse.html template.
Version 1.4.35
Require the word continue to remove (-R Command Line) the databases, just to help avoid someone accidentally doing that parameter.
Version 1.4.34
Added support for
Version 1.4.33
Added password protection to "ADD" and "EDIT" commands. This version implemented internal password checking against a single USERID and PASSWORD stored in the configuration file.
Version 1.4.32
Implemented REALM authentication, only available as an ISAPI due to APACHE's restriction of this information being accessible in a CGI.
Version 1.4.31
Implemented "KEEP PHRASES" in the configuration file for searches only.
Version 1.4.30
Implemented "PRONOUN FILTERING" in the configuration file for both TAGS and SEARCHES.
Version 1.4.29
Implemented parameters in the configuration file to disable or enable different searching algorithms.
Version 1.4.28
Implemented a major revision to the TAG CLOUD algorithm, producing the ability to display which words matched on SEARCHES.
Version 1.4.27
Expanded the configuration file to support a DO NOT TAG list of words which should not be in the TAG CLOUD nor SEARCHable. This mades our TAG CLOUD 100% dynamic based upon the actual content of each page.
Version 1.4.26
Implemented the dynamically built "Sitemap" URL. Allowing us to see which pages we have published, very useful during an initial migration to FWE.
Version 1.4.25
Implemented support for custom page templates. If an html file exists matching the requested URL, it is used instead of the default BROWSE.HTML file. (This provided support for a template for more than just the homepage).
Version 1.4.24
Implemented support for custom home page templates. If an html file exists matching the default_topic, it is used instead of the default BROWSE.HTML file.
Version 1.4.23
Implemented 2NEW_PREVIEW HTML Macro, to display up to the first 100 bytes of the 2 more recently created pages in the Wiki.
Version 1.4.22
Implemented a hidden flag to denote a page as an INCIDENT or NEWS bulletin. Allowing customers to implement a new HTML Macro called ###NEWS:x###, where 'x' is the number of recently added INCIDENTs or NEWS bulletins to display as inline content view news.inc layout. This was inspired by some fire department web sites we host.
Version 1.4.21
Implemented support for .xml files to be displayed if the document does not exist in the Wiki database. Some of our customer sites use Flash products that need .xml files to dynamically control their content. As of this built, the .xml file can reside in the database (which may make your search results look like a kludge) or as a server side .xml file.
Version 1.4.20
We changed the configuration file to support HTML or XML output -- providing support for our Windows Web Admin tool called Corky. Corky reads .xml data from the server to enable features, add or modify content, etc.
