1: XoWiki 0.37 and friends

Cvs HEAD contains updated versions of xowiki and xotcl-core. There is as well a new compatible version of xotcl-note on http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/.

xowiki contains various small updates and fixes (e.g. removed the line in the .css file as Michael Steigman suggested), a modified policy1 for anonymous viewing, ... and works with xotcl 1.5. The most important change is that xowiki and xotcl-core use now the new connection context throughout. This eases the creation of developing regression tests significantly.

There is a new regression-test (118 tests) included in xowiki/admin/regression-test that test the environment, creates a new instance for testing, defines a few standard pages on the fly, and tests as well edit new (of a plain page) as well as a edit modifiy via ad_form in a single connection. among other things, it handles return redirects. This test environment allows to test library functions as well as web-queries for multiple packages, users etc. in a single file.

Thanks for the update Gustaf.
Do we have "non-delete feature unless you are the creator or SWA"?
Or better, a "never delete but to the garbage" feature? with the same behaivor as described in the first question.

Random-stupids are clicking every day at oacs xowiki.

The current policy installed on oacs.org requires for deletions of items and revision admin rights on the package. There should not be problems with deleted stuff on xowiki.
Have you experienced some loss?

in order to implement a trash can, sub-folders with support for addressing content in folders and for moving content between folders is needed.

no loss that I've noticed, but current policy is enough.
