• Quick image uploads to wiki pages, you can upload a picture from the editpage feature and have it displayed in the page immediately.
• Added a phpinfo link to check your php installation in the admin menu.

• Added direct link to pages in paginations (optional) if enabled you can jump to any page of a multipage listing by following a link.
• Newsletters added, admins can setup newsletters and users can subscribe, emails are required to confirm subscriptions and prevent spamming. Then admin can simply send an HTML based newsletter to the subscribed (and confirmed) users. Users can unsubscribe using a URL.
• Added an option to generate gzipped output to the browser.
• Base templates can now be defined by theme so you can create a theme presenting a whole different layout for Tiki. You can also use this to create themes including images and other decoration elements in Tiki. Since only base templates are classified by theme you can do it changing just a few files. If you don't want to change the layout just copy the templates from the templates directory if you are creating a theme.
• Changed wiki page names to support up to 150 characters.
• Menus now preserve their state between pages (using cookies) if cookies are disabled then menus wont preserve state but will still work as they did before.
• Added plugins to the Wiki, now you can create your own plugins for the wiki to suit your needs. The syntax is simple, see lib/wiki_plugins/example.php for a description and example.
• Admin can choose if passwords are stored in plaintext or not. If not, a hash will be used to authenticate users and the remind-password feature will generate a new password and send it by email. The new password will be immediately due so the user will be forced to change it.
• All the JavaScript code has been packed into a library.
• Tiki can now be run on any Web server port.
• HTTPS protocol is now supported. Tiki can now run over HTTPS connections.
• BiDi support. Added support for BiDi languages. Added BiDi.css file to control BiDi directionality and layout.

• Full text searching added (optional). By enabling this feature, results will be sorted by the relevance of the match to the search query. Also, search results will be ordered first by relevance, and then by section (wiki, blog, etc.). Non-fulltext searching continues to sort first by section, and then by 'hits'.
• PHPWikiImport feature. You can export pages from a PHPWiki dump into tiki even versions will be created.
• Export all wiki feature. As admin you can export the whole wiki as a text dump that can later be imported into this or another Tiki site.
• Import/export wiki pages. Wiki pages can now be exported to a .txt Mimealike format and imported from an exported file.

• Admin can setup passwords lifetime and Tiki will force the user to change his password once the password is expired.
• Challenge-response authentication added, if enabled and the browser support JavaScript then user passwords are never send across the network being replaced by a challenge-response authentication algorithm. This improves security since the chance of password eavesdropping is reduced a lot.
