3 Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the
4 spirit of a wiki compiler? Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is
5 now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds.
6 Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes
7 to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users.
9 All wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your
10 wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the
11 Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
13 With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system
14 is showing its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for
15 various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED
16 from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be
17 able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed.
19 The "svnrepo" and "notify" fields in setup files are no longer used, and
20 silently ignored. You may want to remove them from your setup file.
22 ikiwiki 2.30 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
25 * Old versions of git-init don't support --git-dir or GIT\_DIR with
26 --bare. Change ikiwiki-makerepo to use a method that should work with
27 those older versions too.
28 * aggregate: Don't let feeds set creation times for pages in the future.
29 * Add full parser for git diff-tree output (Brian Downing)
30 * aggregate: Fork a child process to handle the aggregation. This simplifies
31 the code, since that process can change internal state as needed, and
32 it will automatically be cleaned up for the parent process, which proceeds
33 to render the changes.
35 * Add trailing comma to commented-out umask in sample ikiwiki.setup, so
36 that uncommenting it does not break the setup file.
38 * inline: The template can check for FIRST and LAST, which will be
39 set for the first and last inlined page. Useful for templates that build
41 * prettydate,ddate: Don't ignore time formats passed to displaytime
43 * Pages with extensions starting with "\_" are internal-use, and will
44 not be rendered or web-edited, or matched by normal pagespecs.
45 * Add "internal()" pagespec that matches internal-use pages.
46 * RecentChanges is now a static html page, that's updated whenever a commit
47 is made to the wiki. It's built as a blog using inline, so it can have
48 an rss feed that users can subscribe to.
49 * Removed support for sending commit notification mails. Along with it went
50 the svnrepo and notify settings, though both will be ignored if left in
51 setup files. Also gone with it is the "user()" pagespec.
53 * meta: Add pagespec functions to match against title, author, authorurl,
54 license, and copyright. This can be used to create custom RecentChanges.
55 * meta: To support the pagespec functions, metadata about pages has to be
56 retained as pagestate.
57 * Fix encoding bug when pagestate values contained spaces.
58 * Add support for bzr, written by Jelmer Vernooij. Thanks also to bma for
59 his independent work on bzr support.
60 * Copyright file updates."""]]
