Lighthouse Pro had a very minor update, a fix to one of the new files that let you edit statuses. You can download Lighthouse Pro from the project page.

Speaking of project pages, I finally added one for toXML, my component for generating XML from ColdFusion variables.

Lastly, a reader sent me an email today about Canvas, my wiki. The amount of changes he has done is amazing. As soon as he sends me the code I'm going to start going over it and double checking it. This will be an incredible update to the product I think.

Great to hear about an update to canvas!
Any hints as to what might be in the update?
I was just wondering what's in the new update too.
This is an unofficial list. It may change:

COMPLETED
* Per page category(ies) using mediawiki-type URL naming
[[Category:MyCategoryName]]
* Categories page listing all available categories
* Individual Category pages for each category used listing all pages
that use that category
* Recent Updates page
* "Stub" variable component
* Search will automatically redirect to a page if the page title (path)
exactly matches the search criteria
* Ability to use spaces in document names (e.g. Use [[My Page Name]] in
the wiki code)
* Modified Page History logic to show most recent at top instead of
bottom, since most people are interested in the most recent revisions,
rather than the oldest
* Authentication (login/logout/unique id stored as page author)
* Authorization: global authZ required for view/edit; page-level authZ
for view; page-level authZ for edit
* AuthZ-based navigation inclusion
* Ability for a page to automatically redirect to another page:
#REDIRECT [[RedirectPage]]
* Mediawiki-like headers (series of equals signs)
* Mediawiki-like bold (3 single quotes)
* Mediawiki-like italics (2 single quotes)
* Embedded lists (e.g. 2 asterisks embeds an unordered list within a
list, complete with indentation), up to 3 levels deep

TO BE DONE
* Delete a page
* Printable (HTML or PDF)
* At least a simplistic DIFF incorporated into Page History

WOULD LIKE TO DO
* Automatic Table of Contents for a page
* File upload (images or other files types, such as PDFs)--with
metadata such as file size, mime type, description, history
sweet - i can't wait to get my hands on that. Thanks guys.
Dont want to be a mongrel, but the toXML.zip file is not found in your Downloads directory. Any chance you can update?
Thanks Adam. Fixed.
