Configuration |
The configuration file is appended with each save instead of being updated. Changes are still applied because Foswiki reads the last item for duplicated entries, but obsolete information is left in the file and the file will grow with each save. |
Available for testing. Replace lib/Foswiki/Configure/FoswikiCfg.pm and backup lib/LocalSite.cfg before testing. Fix prevents further duplication and removes duplicated items from LocalSite.cfg. Issue is fixed in 1.1.0. |

EditTablePlugin |
If you have multiple tables in a topic combined with text below the table that contains a vertical bar, the EditTablePlugin goes into deep recursion. From the user this is seen as no reply from the server and other users may experience that the server slows down if several people try to view the affected topic. |
Upgrade EditTablePlugin to version 4.21 (26 Mar 2009) from configure .. or better .. upgrade Foswiki to 1.0.5 |
