This release introduces important improvements for the definition of wiki macro parameters and provides a new mechanism for faster macro execution. It also contains a redefinition of the real-time editing toolbar for better user experience. Further, it is now possible for users to resize the panel columns on the right and left of the content. This release contains security fixes, with the highest severity being 9.3/10.
With digital transformation accelerating, your organization’s control over its data and workflows is more critical than ever. While many collaborative platforms seem convenient, they often come at a steep price: vendor lock‑in, a one-size-fits-all approach where customization and deployment are limited, and data management practices remain unclear.
XWiki offers a different approach. It offers a flexible, open-source platform that you can shape to fit your company's specific workflows and security requirements. It puts you in control.
This is indeed obvious for weeks, no questions here. However, the even more accelerated developments in the last 2 weeks, as well as what happened in France with the Ministry of Education opting for a Microsoft solution, even if there are so many good French options out there (Suite Hexagonne to name at least one), made it even more obvious and stringent.
"Europe loves to talk about sovereignty but keeps handing its digital future to American companies. If we’re serious about this, we need to stop outsourcing our entire tech stack to Silicon Valley." Ludovic Dubost, CEO of XWiki
Most online collaboration tools ask you to trust them with your data. Google Docs and Microsoft 365 store your files on their servers, scan your content, and build profiles on users. CryptPad does the opposite. It’s a real-time document editor where everything is encrypted—only you and your team can see what you write. Not even the server can read your files.
Now, we’re bringing that same privacy-first approach to businesses with CryptPad Enterprise. It’s a self-hosted, end-to-end encrypted alternative to Big Tech’s office suites, designed for teams that care about privacy, security, and data sovereignty. With governments and companies across Europe looking for ways to move away from US-based cloud services, solutions like this are becoming more relevant.
We’re hosting a webinar to talk about how it works, the technical challenges of scaling encrypted collaboration, and what’s next. If you’re interested in privacy-first infrastructure, join us:
I like cryptpad and wanted to use it for a team of 6,but the less tech savvy couldn't really understand how it works. The concept that even the user is encrypted is beyond what they could think, so they couldn't understand that I needed their link to invite them
If you’ve ever had to migrate data off Confluence, you know it’s not as straightforward as it looks. Broken links, lost metadata, and keeping workflows intact can make the process a nightmare—especially if you’re dealing with large-scale or complex setups.
XWiki is hosting a free webinar, A hands-on guide to migrating from Confluence, that dives into practical strategies for tackling these challenges.
What’s interesting about this session:
It’s based on real-world migrations, so you get insights from actual projects, not just theory.
They cover both technical and organizational challenges, like keeping the process smooth for teams using the data.
They highlight where automation helps—and where manual intervention is unavoidable.
If you’re in the middle of a migration or thinking about one, it might save you some headaches.
The most noticeable change of this release is a revamp of the notifications watch button. In addition, the notification email contrast has been improved. This release also contains a few bug fixes, as well as improvements for developers, but most importantly it contains security fixes, with the highest severity being 10.0/10.0.
This happened to me twice in the last week — for a Kickstarter project I was collecting shipping fees via Backer Kit. I had 2 backers that “decided” they do not want to pay for the shipping, and they started disputes after the product was already shipped. I sent screenshots and proof of service to Stripe, but I still lost the dispute with no appeal option.
