Here are the rough infos (CHANGES in 1.6 repo has more detail level):

Major new features:

• xapian index search (including attachments of supported mimetypes)
• wiki synchronisation
• moin can receive email now
• wiki parser: easier link and transclusion markup (and new macro markup)
• new parsers for: creole wiki markup, html (safe), diffs
• discussion pages
• inline comments

• lots of other stuff...

Fixes:

• LOTS!

Pushed to after 1.6.1 release

Do not add new features here, only fixes. Feel free to help with any of these:

• advanced search is still partly broken, needs more tests
• Logging:
  1. cli likely needs a logging fix
• Misc:
  1. think about transclusion params

How you can help

• in case you are still running a pre-1.5 moin version, please consider upgrading to latest 1.5 release (currently 1.5.8) before you want to upgrade to 1.6.x. Reasons:
  • The migration stuff for 1.6 is primarily tested with data taken from a wiki running 1.5.8 code.
  • The #moin support channel and also the wiki might be rather busy with 1.6 stuff once it is out and we like to concentrate on supporting 1.6 at that time.
  • The changes from 1.5.x to 1.6 are rather big, so better do 2 smaller steps than trying to do a huge version step.
• Translations:

  1. check if your language translation on http://master.moinmo.in/ is complete (there have been some changes due to the new link and macro syntax) - see HelpOnLinking and HelpOnMacros. All stuff in PRE sections needs to get fixed manually!

  2. translators please check correct translation of FindPage - esp. usage of <<AdvancedSearch>>

  3. fix SystemPagesInXXGroupIncomplete

  4. fix/update translations of HelpOnMacros and HelpOnLinking

  5. fix PRE sections on MoinMaster having old macro or link syntax in them (the converter does not touch PRE sections)

     • search for [[ used as a macro (wrong in 1.6, it is <<Macro(...)>> there)

       • you can for example search for [[BR]]

     • search for old link, attachment, image syntax

       • you can for example search for ["
