!!! Version: 6.0 Mystique (Release 2012-10-17) d3web is an extensible Java API for running knowledge-based systems. The Semantic Wiki KnowWE builds on the engine d3web and offers the web-based and distributed development of knowledge bases. !!! System Requirements Installation of d3web/KnowWE requires the Java Platform, Standard Edition JDK 6 or higher. For operating systems, the distribution runs with MS-Windows XP, Windows 7 and Mac OS 10.6 or higher. Linux is not officially supported. We officially support Firefox 7 or better and Google Chrome 14 or better. Please note, that we do not officially support Internet Explorer at the moment. !!! What's New The release includes the following notable features: !! d3web * Functions to handle dates in formula expressions * Continuous integration and testing framework plus app !! KnowWE * Manual routing of DiaFlux edges * New markup Abstraction Table * New edit mode * New edit features (hotkeys, moving lines, better undo/redo...) * PDF-Version of knowledge base downloadable in wiki * Significantly improved full parse (compile) time of articles * Again significantly shortened KnowWE startup time !!!

Known Issues The IDs of the listed issues correspond to the ticket tracking system available at [https://tickets.denkbares.com]. || ID || Product || Severity || Title || Release Comment | 104 | KnowWE | Average problem | Malicious HTML code in wiki pages/requests | For relevant KnowWE applications we recommend to secure the wiki server by htaccess controls and to provide user authentication. | 117 | KnowWE | Lightweight problem | URIDecoding of request parameters is done twice: once by Tomcat and once in KnowWEParameterMap | For the currently deployed plugins this issue is resolved by workarounds. In further releases this problem should be fixed in a fundamental manner. | 138 | KnowWE | trivial | [[Internet Explorer] Rendering output lacks a lot of line breaks | Currently we do not officially support the Internet Explorer in KnowWE. | 212 | KnowWE | trivial | [[DiaFlux] Start and Exit nodes do not allow certain special characters | Workaround: Please try to avoid special characters for names of Start/Exit nodes until the bugfix. | 213 | KnowWE | trivial | [[Internet Explorer] DiaFlux edit panel does not work with IE9 | Currently we do not officially support the Internet Explorer in KnowWE. | 223 | KnowWE | Lightweight problem | [[MobileApplication] Language Selection doesn't work | The mobile application is not part of the current distribution. | 348 | d3web | Average problem | A KB can not be loaded, if the infostore of a DiaFlux model contains a property | This ticket does not describe a bug concerning the usage of d3web and KnowWE, but an architectural issue restricting developers to not store properties (description, prompt...) directly with Flow objects. Since it seems to be an issue with the native code, we cannot do a lot to fix this. !!!
