ikiwiki (2.30) unstable; urgency=low

  Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the
  spirit of a wiki compiler? Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is
  now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds.
  Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes
  to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users.
  
  All wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your
  wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the
  Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

  With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system
  is showing its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for
  various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED
  from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be
  able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed.

  The "svnrepo" and "notify" fields in setup files are no longer used, and
  silently ignored. You may want to remove them from your setup file.

ikiwiki (2.20) unstable; urgency=low

  The template plugin has begin to htmlize the variables passed to templates.
  This is normally what you want, but to get the old behavior and get at the
  raw value, you can use `<TMPL_VAR raw_variable>` in a template.

ikiwiki (2.16) unstable; urgency=low

  Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this
  release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog".
  Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily,
  and will be removed later.

  If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly
  cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass
  --refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that
  contain out of date calendars.

ikiwiki (2.14) unstable; urgency=low

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

ikiwiki (2.9) unstable; urgency=low

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

ikiwiki (2.6) unstable; urgency=low

  In this version the rst plugin allows raw html to be embedded in rst files.
  As long as the htmlscrubber is enabled, this should be safe. If you are
  using the rst plugin without the htmlscrubber in a publically writable wiki,
  you should turn on the htmlscrubber.

ikiwiki (2.5) unstable; urgency=low

  Due to some config changes in this version, wrappers need to be rebuilt on
  upgrade. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be
  one automatically when the Debian package is upgraded.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 29 Jul 2007 17:54:40 -0400

ikiwiki (2.1) unstable; urgency=low

  Some wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version, due to changes to
  page templates and the style sheet. If you listed your wiki in
  /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian
  package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:50:36 -0400

ikiwiki (2.00) unstable; urgency=low

  With the 2.0 release of ikiwiki, some major changes have been made to the
  default configuration:

  * The 'usedirs' setting is enabled by default. This *will* break all URLs
    to wikis that did not have 'usedirs' turned on before, unless you follow
    the procedure described at <http://ikiwiki.info/tips/switching_to_usedirs>,
    or edit your setup file to turn usedirs off:
       usedirs => 0,

  * OpenID logins are now enabled by default, if the Net::OpenID::Consumer
    perl module is available. Password logins are also still enabled
    by default. If you like, you can turn either OpenID or password logins
    off via the 'disable_plugins' setting.

ikiwiki (1.51) unstable; urgency=low

  Some wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version, due to changes to
  page layout and the style sheet. If you listed your wiki in
  /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian
  package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:50:36 -0400

ikiwiki (1.50) unstable; urgency=low

  Permalinks and guids in rss and atom feeds for wikis using the usedirs
  options will change in this release. If you have already enabled usedirs,
  you may need to take steps to avoid flooding aggregators.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 14 Apr 2007 16:08:46 -0400

ikiwiki (1.49) unstable; urgency=low

  Third-party plugins that use htmlpage() or abs2rel() to generate links
  may need changes to support the new "usedirs" option.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 01 Apr 2007 16:20:09 -0400

ikiwiki (1.47) unstable; urgency=low
 
  Due to a security fix, wikis that have the htmlscrubber enabled can no
  longer use the meta plugin to insert html link and meta tags.

  Some special case methods have been added for safely including stylesheets,
  and for doing openid delegation. See the meta plugin docs for details.

ikiwiki (1.45) unstable; urgency=low

  Wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your wiki
  in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian
  package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed,  7 Mar 2007 23:02:52 -0500

ikiwiki (1.44) unstable; urgency=low

  The htmllink() function has changed slightly and plugins that use it may
  need to change how they call it. This function's first three parameters
  are unchanged, but additional options are now passed using named
  parameters. If you used htmllink with more than 3 parameters, you will
  need to change it. The plugin interface version has been increased to 1.02
  to reflect this change.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon, 19 Feb 2007 21:10:12 -0500

ikiwiki (1.42) unstable; urgency=low

  The anonok setting in config files has been removed. To enable
  httpauth support on your wiki, you should now enable the anonok plugin,
  instead.

  Third-party plugins that use pagespec_match() should be updated to pass
  the new third parameter (from) to that function. This is needed for the
  new relative glob matching to work.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu,  1 Feb 2007 16:57:59 -0500

ikiwiki (1.34) unstable; urgency=low

  The httpauth setting in config files has been removed. To enable
  httpauth support on your wiki, you should now enable the httpauth plugin,
  instead.

  This release includes OpenID support that is enabled through the openid
  plugin. I recommend turning this on to make it easier for users to sign
  in to your wiki.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun, 19 Nov 2006 20:53:05 -0500

ikiwiki (1.32) unstable; urgency=low

  There is a change to the plugin interface in this version. Any plugins that
  modify data in %links should pass scan => 1 when registering the hook that
  does so.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 28 Oct 2006 00:13:12 -0400

ikiwiki (1.29) unstable; urgency=low

  Wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your wiki
  in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian
  package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

  There is a change to the plugin interface in this version. Plugins that use
  %renderedfiles will need to be updated, as the hash's values are now arrays
  of rendered files. Plugins that cause a page to render additional files
  should use the new will_render function to register the files.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun,  8 Oct 2006 17:27:56 -0400

ikiwiki (1.22) unstable; urgency=low
  
  Due to some changes in the CSS, wikis should be rebuilt on upgrade to this
  version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done
  automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild
  to force a rebuild.

  If you have modified versions of ikiwiki's html templates, you will need
  to update your templates to link to the stylesheet file using
  "<TMPL_VAR BASEURL>style.css" instead of the old method which used
  STYLEURL.

  There have also been some changes to the plugin interface:
  Any plugins that use santize, htmlize, or format hooks will need to be
  updated for this version of ikiwiki since these hooks have been changed
  to use named parameters.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 22 Aug 2006 15:33:12 -0400

ikiwiki (1.13) unstable; urgency=low

  The GlobList format which was used for specifiying sets of pages, has been
  replaced with a new, more expressive PageSpec format. While GlobLists will
  continue to work, that format is deprecated, and you are encouraged to use
  PageSpecs from now on, and also to change any GlobLists in your wiki to
  PageSpecs. See the new PageSpec page for details.
  
  You will need to rebuild your wiki when upgrading to this version. If you
  listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically
  when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiiki-mass-rebuild to force a
  rebuild.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue,  1 Aug 2006 18:29:51 -0400

ikiwiki (1.11) unstable; urgency=low

  Some changes to tags in this release, due to a new tag plugin. If you have
  been using the meta plugin to tag pages, you'll want to enable the tag
  plugin too, and change things like this:

  [[meta link="foobar"]]

  To this:

  [[tag foobar]]

  The new tags will appear at page footers, and are also easier to type.

  There have also been some changes to the plugin interface, particularly the
  interface of pagetemplate hooks has changed. See the changelog for details.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 27 Jul 2006 17:03:09 -0400

ikiwiki (1.8) unstable; urgency=low

  If your wiki is configured with a setup file, you should modify it to
  stop setting the "plugin" list directly, and instead add or remove plugins
  via the add_plugins and disable_plugins lines. For example, if you had:

        plugin => [qw{inline smiley search}],

  Change it to these lines, which disables the default htmlscrubber plugin
  and adds the two additional plugins:

        add_plugins => [qw{smiley search}],
        disable_plugins => [qw{htmlscrubber}],

  Making this change makes your ikiwiki setup file more future-proof since
  new default plugins will be automatically used.
  
  You will need to rebuild your ikiwiki wrappers when upgrading to this
  version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be
  done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use
  ikiiki-mass-rebuild --refresh to force a refresh.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon,  3 Jul 2006 16:59:29 -0400

ikiwiki (1.1) unstable; urgency=low

  There have been several configuration changes in this release of ikiwiki:

  The --svn and --no-svn switches are removed, instead you should use
   --rcs=svn or --no-rcs. ikiwiki setup files that set svn => 1 should
  be changed to set rcs => "svn"; if your setup file sets svn => 0
  then change it to use rcs => "" to disable svn.

  The --hyperestraier switch is gone too. To enable searching, turn on the
  search plugin, by passing --plugin=search or through the plugin setting in
  the setup file.

  The --sanitize and --no-sanitize switches are also gone, replaced with the
  htmlscrubber plugin. This plugin is enabled by default, to disable it,
  use --disable-plugin=htmlscrubber, or modify the plugin setting in the
  setup file.

  Discussion pages are enabled by default, but if your wiki is configured
  with a setup file, you need to edit it to keep them enabled on upgrade
  to this version. Add a line reading:
  discussion => 1,

  You will need to rebuild your wiki when upgrading to this version.
  If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done
  automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use
  ikiiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
