Try the demo server
Look for the WikkaDevelopment development of the new version

This server runs on WikkaWiki version n/a (see WikkaReleaseNotes) with a number of experimental features.

Skins
allows users to select, create, edit and modify their own WikkaSkins custom CSS stylesheet.
Test: TestSkin
Development pages: MySkin, WikkaSkinSelector, WikkaSkinEditor

Paged comments
allows comments to be paged. The number of comments per page can be set from UserSettings.
Development page: PagedComments

Menulets
mini-UsingActions actions that will replace in the future menu items.
Development page & test: WikkaMenulets

User Administration
interface for managing registered users.
Test: [admin-only] UserAdminTest
Development page: UserAdmin

Page Administration
interface for managing pages
Test: [admin-only] PageAdminTest
Development page: PageAdminAction

Oops - looking at the test page, this is now (temporarily) broken by the AdvancedReferrersHandler beta implementation: it seems it uses the LoadReferrers() function which we've made obsolete... should be easy enough to fix though. --JavaWoman

Category action [modified]
a modified category action that by default now only shows the content of category pages (starting with 'Category') and does not show templates except as members of a special templates category (extra parameters allow overriding these defaults but in general this should not be necessary). This results in more "sensible" behavior when the category action is placed on (or included in) a non-category page: the SandBox won't be regarded as a category any more :). Also for output in columns divs are used now instead of a layout table; this also means that the pages are layed out vertically instead of row-by-row, making it easier to scan the output.
Example: See CategoryDevelopment for the new layout and note that the templates for development pages are no longer listed there (even though they contain a reference to CategoryDevelopment).

System
a new action showing information about the system Wikka is running on.
Example on the SysInfo page.

Backlinks
A simple backlink handler to display internal links to the current page (usage: /backlinks).
See BacklinksHandler.

Grab code handler
A handler to download code snippets from code blocks inserted in Wikka pages.
See GrabCodeHandler.

Register action
An action for user registration distinct from the current (usersettings).
Development page: RegisterAction
Test: RegisterActionTest.

RSS action - workaround
A temporary fix for the Onyx-RSS parser used by the RSS action; any (sometimes spurious) errors raised are now simply enclosed in an HTML comment so they are still available if needed but don't clutter up the rendered page.
Test and code on JwRssTest.

Advanced Referrers handling
New, advanced referrers handling with searching and filtering as well as an accessible form and results table (and more secure as well).
Development page: AdvancedReferrersHandler.
Test by adding /referrers to any page. (Only registered users can view and filter lists, only admins can blacklist domains or remove them from the blacklist.)

Single quotes for action parameters
A small change to the Action() method in wikka.php so that action parameters are recognized enclosed in either single or double quotes.
