Some additions in this new version

Diff mode - there's a "What's changed?" link at the bottom of a page
nicer looking URLs: Friki Release Notes
easier linking to JavaDocs by way of the Interwiki syntax: JavaDoc:javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet This works for J2SE and J2EE classes as well as for many other APIs from Sun, Apache and various third parties
alphabetically sorted search results
proper handling of non-ASCII wiki words and content (this one doesn't seem to work yet; I'll have to look into it)
digits and more than a single uppercase letter are possible in local wiki links: SandBox2006? FAtHUmp?
right-aligned images in addition to left-aligned ones
much easier to add new transformation, because the regexps are no longer part of the code, but are kept in an external file
intra-page links can now be made
HTTPS links are now recognized
definition lists can now contain colons
searching is no longer case-sensitive
two ways to link ISBNs to Amazon: ISBN 1234567890 pretty ISBN
roundtripping of HTML entities through edits: é A Γ

What is a moose?

A member of the deer family with large antlers. It's scientific name is Alces alces.

A moose is a spruce goose named Bruce with a loose noose in his caboose always ready for a truce.

The above is the product of too much juice.

There's a moose caboose loose in the hoose tonight

A moose was asleep, dreaming of moose juice. A goose was asleep, dreaming of goose juice. The dreams came together and mixed up the juices. A moose can't drink goose juice, it's juice for gooses. And a goose can't drink moose juice its the juices of mooses!
