3 If your wiki uses git, and you have a `diffurl` configured in
4 its setup file, you should be aware that gitweb has stopped
5 supporting the url form commonly used for the `diffurl`.
7 You can change your setup to use the newer gitweb url form:
9 http://git.example.com/gitweb.cgi?p=wiki.git;a=blobdiff;f=[[file]];h=[[sha1_to]];hp=[[sha1_from]];hb=[[sha1_commit]];hpb=[[sha1_parent]]
11 The changes from the old form are the addition of the `hpb` parameter,
12 and the change to the value used for the `hb` parameter.

19 some transitions. You will need to modify your wikis to work with

27 TexImg standard preamble changed
29 The teximg plugin now has a configurable LaTeX preamble.
30 As part of this change the `mchem` LaTeX package has been removed from
31 the default LaTeX preamble as it wasn't included in many TeX installations.
33 The previous behaviour can be restored by adding the following to your
36 teximg_prefix => '\documentclass{scrartcl}
37 \usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
44 In addition, the rendering mechanism has been changed to use `dvipng` by
45 default, if available.

51 Admin preferences are moving from the web interface to the setup file.
52 There are three new options in the setup file: `locked_pages`, `banned_users`,
53 and `allowed_attachments`. The admin prefs page can still be used, but
54 that's deprecated, and the prefs will be hidden if a value is not already
55 set. If a value is set in the web interface, you're encouraged to move that
56 setting to your setup file now, since version 3.0 will remove the deprecated
57 admin prefs web interface.
59 Also, the layout of the setup file has changed in a significant way in this
60 release. Old setup files will continue to work, but new features, like the
61 new websetup interface, require a new format setup file. You can convert
62 old setup files into the new format by running
63 `ikiwiki-transition setupformat ikiwiki.setup`

77 The search plugin no longer uses hyperestraier. Instead, to use it you
78 will now need to install xapian-omega, and the Search::Xapian,
79 HTML::Scrubber, and Digest::SHA1 perl modules. Ie,
80 `apt-get install xapian-omega libsearch-xapian-perl libhtml-scrubber-perl libdigest-sha1-perl`
82 Also, wikis that use the search plugin will need to be rebuilt,

85 running `ikiwiki -setup` on individual setup files.

91 If you allowed password based logins to your wiki, those passwords were
92 stored in cleartext in the userdb. To guard against exposing users'
93 passwords, I recommend you install the Authen::Passphrase perl module, and
94 then run `ikiwiki-transition hashpassword /path/to/srcdir` to replace all
95 existing cleartext passwords with strong (blowfish) hashes.

110 ikiwiki now has an new syntax for preprocessor directives, using the
115 This new syntax no longer relies on spaces to distinguish between
116 wikilinks and preprocessor directives. Thus, wikilinks can use spaces
117 in their link text, and preprocessor directives without arguments (such
118 as "toc") need not use a trailing space.
120 To enable the new syntax, set prefix_directives to true in your ikiwiki
121 config. For backward compatibility with existing wikis,
122 prefix_directives currently defaults to false. In ikiwiki 3.0,
123 prefix_directives will default to true, and wikis which have not yet
124 converted to the new syntax will need to set prefix_directives to false
125 in their setup files.
127 To convert your wiki to the new syntax, ikiwiki provides a new script
130 Even with prefix_directives disabled, ikiwiki now allows an optional '!'
131 prefix on preprocessor directives (but still requires a space). Thus, a
132 directive which uses a '!' prefix and contains a space will work with
133 ikiwiki 2.40 and newer, regardless of the value of prefix_directives.
134 This allows the underlay to work with all ikiwikis.

140 Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the
141 spirit of a wiki compiler? Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is
142 now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds.
143 Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes
144 to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users.
146 All wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your
147 wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the
148 Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
150 With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system
151 is its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for
152 various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED
153 from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be
154 able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed.
156 The "notify" field in setup files is no longer used, and
157 silently ignored. You may want to remove it from your setup file.

171 Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this
172 release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog".
173 Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily,
174 and will be removed later.
176 If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly
177 cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass
178 --refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that
179 contain out of date calendars.

185 This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading
186 to the srcdir, and will refuse to use a srcdir specified by such a path.
187 This was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially
188 break (semi-)working wikis. If your wiki has a srcdir path containing a
189 symlink, you should change it to use a path that does not.

193 ikiwiki (2.9) unstable; urgency=low
195 Since ikiwiki 2.0 was released, some limitiations have been added to what
196 ikiwiki considers a WikiLink. In short, if there are any spaces in between
197 the brackets, ikiwiki no longer considers it to be a WikiLink. If your wiki
198 contains things meant to be WikiLinks that contain spaces, you will need to
199 fix them, by replacing the spaces with underscores.
201 WikiLink have always been documented to not contain spaces, but bugs in
202 ikiwiki made it treat some text with spaces as WikiLinks. Most of these
203 bugs were fixed in version 2.2, and a final bug was fixed in this 2.9
204 release. These fixes are necessary to avoid ambiguity between
205 WikiLinks and PreProcessorDirectives. Apologies for any inconvenience
206 these bugs (and their fixes) may have caused.
