3 * remove: New plugin that adds the ability to remove pages via the web.
4 (Sponsored by The TOVA Company.)
5 * rename: New plugin that adds the ability to rename pages via the web.
6 (Sponsored by The TOVA Company.) (This one's for you, Kyle.)
7 * All rcs backends need to implement rcs_remove, rcs_commitstaged,
8 and rcs_rename. (Done for svn, git).
9 * This version adds renamepage hooks, which can be used to modify page content,
10 including links, during renames.
11 * prefix_directives enabled in doc wiki, all preprocessor directives
12 converted. (Simon McVittie)
13 * editpage: Don't show attachments link when attachments are disabled.
14 * tag: Allow tagbase to be overridden by starting a tag with "./" or "/".
16 * Really fix bug with links to pages with names containing colons.
17 Previous fix mised a few cases.
18 * Avoid troublesome abs_path calls in wrapper setup.
19 * Add allow_symlinks_before_srcdir config setting that can be used to avoid
20 a security check that is a good safe default, but problimatic overkill in
22 * Don't allow uploading an attachment with the same name as an existing
23 page, to avoid confusion.
24 * Split out error messages from editpage.tmpl into several separate
26 * attachment: Do not escape _ when determining attachment filenames.
27 * Rebuild pages that change their type. (Gabriel McManus)
28 * monotone: Add support for rename, delete, and also diff. (William Uther)
29 * toggle: Fix incompatability between javascript and webkit.
30 * bzr: Add support for rename and delete. (Jelmer Vernooij)

37 * Make it possible to load setup files w/o running them. Code
38 needing to do so can call IkiWiki::Setup::load, which will return
42 * ikiwiki-transition: Fix command-line processing so the prefix_directives
43 transition works again.
46 * template: Add support for a BASENAME variable.
47 * Fixes creation of pages when clicking on WikiLinks starting with "/".
48 * Change deb dependencies to list Text::Markdown before markdown, since
49 the former, while slower, has a much better html parser that avoids
51 * Move yesno function out of inline and into IkiWiki core, not exported.
52 * Error handling improvement for preprocess hooks. It's now safe to call
53 error() from such hooks; it will cause a nicely formatted error message
54 to be inserted into the page.
55 * Cut the size of the binary package in half by excluding pages for bugs
56 and todo items from the html shipped in it.
57 * parentlinks: New plugin, split out of ikiwiki core and enabled by default,
58 and several new fields added to allow for advanced styling. (intrigeri)
59 * smileys: Some fixes for escaped smileys.
60 * smileys: Note that smileys need to be double-escaped for the escaping to
61 work. Markdown removes one level of escaping.
62 * Add a postscan hook.
63 * search: Use postscan hook, avoid updating index when previewing.
64 * git: Put web committer name/openid/address in the git author field.
65 The committer's email address is not used (because leaking email addresses
66 is not liked by many users). Closes: #451023
67 * git: Fix parsing of git logs with no commit messages at all.
68 * search: Fixes for title stemming, and use better term for tags.
70 (Rebuilding the wiki on upgrade to this version is recommended if you
71 use the search plugin.)
74 * meta, inline: Support guid options, to allow forcing a particular url or
76 * meta: fix title() PageSpec
77 * Some footer style changes.
78 * aggregate: Add an `aggregateinternal` option, which allows storing
79 aggregated data to internal-use files, rather than wiki pages. This
80 can save disk space, and be faster.
81 * ikiwiki-transition: Add a `aggregateinternal` transition to rename

90 * attachment: Fix an uninitialised value warning when editing a page
91 that currently has no attachments.
92 * Fix a bug with links to pages whose names contained colons.
93 * attachment: Support old versions of CGI.pm that lack an upload method.
94 * Include ikiwiki.setup in examples in the debian package.
95 * attachment: Support perl 5.8's buggy version of CGI.pm.
96 * otl: Support utf-8 files. (Recai Oktaş)

100 ikiwiki (2.52) unstable; urgency=low
102 * attachment: New plugin for uploading and managing attachments.
103 This includes a fairly powerful PageSpec based admin pref for deciding
104 whether to accept a given upload, and an attachment management interface
106 (Sponsored by The TOVA Company.)
107 * If attachments are not enabled, configure CGI.pm to disable file
108 uploads by default. (An anti-DOS measure.)
109 * toggle: Add support for toggles that are open by default.
110 * toggle: Fix to work in preview mode.
111 * toggle: Add javascript to top of page, not to end. This avoids flicker
112 since closed toggles will not be displayed as the page is loading.
113 * The editpage form now uses the raw page name, not the page title, in its
114 'page' cgi parameter. Using the title was ambiguous and made it
115 impossible to tell between some pages, like "foo/bar" and "foo__47__bar",
116 sometimes causing the wrong page to be edited.
117 * This change means that some edit links need to be updated.
118 Force a rebuild on upgrade to this version.
119 * Above change also allowed really fixing escaped slashes from the blogpost

124 ikiwiki (2.51) unstable; urgency=low
126 * Improve toplevel parentlink to link directly to index.html when usedirs is
128 * map: Add a "show" parameter. "show=title" can be used to display page
129 titles, rather than the default page name. Based on a patch from
130 Jaldhar H. Vyas, Closes: #484510
131 * hnb: New plugin, contributed by Axel Beckert.
132 * meta: Store "description" in pagestate for use by other plugins.
133 * map: Support show=description.
134 * textile: The Text::Textile perl module has some regexps that fail if
135 input is flagged as utf-8, but contains invalid characters such as 0x92.
136 To prevent it from crashing, re-encode the content before calling it,
137 which will ensure that it's really utf-8.
138 * Version the suggests of xapian-omega to a version known to be new enough
139 to work with ikiwiki. Reportedly, version 0.9.9 is too old to work.
141 * creole: New plugin from Bernd Zeimetz. Closes: #486930
142 * aggregate: Add template parameter.
143 * Add support for the universal edit button <http://universaleditbutton.org/>
144 (To get this on all pages of an exiting wiki, rebuild the wiki.)
145 * txt: New plugin, contributed by Gabriel McManus.
146 * smiley: Generate links relative to the destpage. (Fixes a reversion from
148 * toc: Revert change in 2.45 that made it run at sanitize time. That broke
149 use of toc in a sidebar.
150 * Call format hooks when generating page previews, thus fixing toc display
151 there, as well as fixing inlins to again display in page previews, since
152 it's started using format hooks. This also allows several other things,
153 like embed, that use format hooks, to work during page preview time.
154 * Format hooks should not rely on getting an entire html document, as they
155 will only get the body during page preview.
156 * toggle: Deal with preview mode when adding javascript.

173 * haiku: Generate valid xhtml.
174 * ikiwiki-mass-rebuild: Don't trust $! when setting $)
175 * inline: The optimisation in 2.41 broke nested inlines. Detect those
176 and avoid overoptimising.
177 * search: Converted to use xapian-omega.
178 * Filter hooks are no longer called during the scan phase. This will
179 prevent wikilinks added by filters from being scanned properly. But
180 no known filter hook does that, so let's not waste time on it.
181 * Pass a destpage parameter to the sanitize hook.
182 * The search interface now allows searching for a page by title
183 ("title:foo"), as well as for pages that contain a given link

188 ikiwiki (2.48) unstable; urgency=high
190 * Fix security hole that occurred if openid and passwordauth were both
191 enabled. passwordauth would allow logging in as a known openid, with an
192 empty password. Closes: #483770 (CVE-2008-0169)
193 * Add rel=nofollow to edit links. This may prevent some spiders from
194 pounding on the cgi following edit links.
195 * passwordauth: If Authen::Passphrase is installed, use it to store
196 password hashes, crypted with Eksblowfish.
197 * `ikiwiki-transition hashpassword /path/to/srcdir` can be used to
198 hash existing plaintext passwords.
199 * Passwords will no longer be mailed, but instead a password reset link.
200 * The password_cost config setting is provided as a "more security" knob.

209 * mdwn: Add a multimarkdown setup file option.
210 * If PERL5LIB is set to the libdir when building ikiwiki, calculate and
211 hardcode a proper 'use lib' statement anyway. This fixes a gotcha,
212 since PERL5LIB won't work once ikiwiki is running via a wrapper or as
214 * orphans: As a special case, the toplevel index page is never considered
216 * inline: Display a message if the 'pages' parameter is missing, before
217 it just expanded to nothing.
218 * git: Skip over signed-off-by and similar lines in commit messages
219 when generating recentchanges.
220 * ENV can be used in the setup file to override environment variable
221 settings, such as TZ or PATH.
222 * Perls older than 5.10 need to use the old method of decoding utf-8 in CGI
223 values. Neither method will work for all versions of perl, so check
224 version number at runtime.
225 * Avoid unsightly warning message when evaling broken pagespecs.
226 * Improve error message when a pagespec fails to parse.

230 ikiwiki (2.46) unstable; urgency=low
232 * amazon_s3: New plugin, which injects wiki pages into Amazon S3, allowing
233 ikiwiki to be used without a dedicated web server.
234 * aggregate: Add support for web-based triggering of aggregation
235 for people stuck on shared hosting without cron. (Sheesh.) Enabled
236 via the `aggregate_webtrigger` configuration optiom.
237 * Add pinger and pingee plugins, which allow setting up mirrors and branched
238 wikis that automatically ping one another to stay up to date.
239 * Optimised file statting code when scanning for modified pages;
240 cut the number of system calls in half. (Still room for improvement.)
241 * Fixes for behavior changes in perl 5.10's CGI that broke utf-8 support
242 in several interesting ways.

246 ikiwiki (2.45) unstable; urgency=low
248 * toc: Add the table of contents at sanitize time, rather than at format
249 time. This allows the toc to be displayed when previewing an edit. It also
250 avoids headers in the page template from showing up in the toc.
251 * Add PREFIX/bin to the hardcoded PATH within ikiwiki.
252 * Deal with different paths to perl when removing -T flag.
253 * Add missing de.po. Closes: #471540
254 * img: Support a title attribute, will be passed through to html.
256 * anonk: Add anonok_pagespec configuration setting that can be used to
257 allow anonymous users to edit only matching pages. Closes: #478892
258 * Fix ugly display when editing a page that has vanished.
259 * srcfile now has an optional second parameter to avoid it throwing an error
260 if the source file does not exist.
261 * git: Put -- before the filename when calling git rev-list to avoid
262 warning message when the file doesn't exist.
263 * Add a Bundle::IkiWiki and Bundle::IkiWiki::Extras to the source for use
264 with CPAN to install perl modules.
265 * Add a cpan directory containing a CPAN::MyConfig that can ease use of
266 CPAN to install in a home directory on shared hosting providers.
267 * With these changes, it's pretty easy to install onto nearlyfreespeech.net
268 and probably other shared hosting providers like dreamhost. Added
269 a page documenting the process for nearlyfreespeech.

276 recentchangediff to work with svn repos.
277 * Allow libtext-markdown-perl to satisfy dependencies, as a
278 an alternative to the markdown package.
279 * Correct a bug in pagespec matching, where a empty pagespec matched all
280 pages. This manifested as wikis with no locked pages treating them all as

301 * inline: Correct handling of urls relative to baseurl in feeds.
302 * Fix CSRF attacks against the preferences and edit forms. The fix involved
303 embedding the session id in the forms, and not allowing the forms to be

321 branch.master.remote previously used to default to origin, which has
322 recently been changed; it now needs to be set explicitly, which this
323 patch does. Closes: #470517
324 * meta: Also generate openid2 headers.
325 * Handle SimpleXMLRPCDispatcher arg count change in python 2.5
326 * Provide XML-RPC proxy abstraction for Python plugins.
329 * Add recentchangesdiff plugin that adds diffs to the recentchanges feeds.
330 * rcs_diff is a new function that rcs modules should implement.
331 * Implemented rcs_diff for git, svn, and tla (tla version untested).
332 Mercurial and monotone still todo.
333 * Support Text::Markdown::markdown, which is the spelling used by
334 version 1.0.16 of Text::Markdown.
335 * Updated Spanish translation from Victor Moral.
336 * Fix example exclude regexp. Closes: #469691
337 * Remove locking code in git rcs_commit. I'm not sure if this was ever
338 correct, and it's certianly not correct now, since the wiki is locked
339 before rcs_commit is ever called, and should not be unlocked by
341 * monotone: Require version 0.38 or greater, and stop using the mtnmergerc
343 * Use forcebaseurl to make page previews be displayed with the html base
344 set to the destination page. This avoids need for hacks to munge the urls
345 in preview mode, which fixes several bugs.
346 * Several destpage fixes in plugins.

349 * Fix expiry of old recentchanges changeset pages.
350 * French translation update. Closes: #471010
351 * external: Fix support of XML::RPC::fault.
352 * htmltidy: Pass --markup yes, in case tidy's config file disabled it.
353 * external: Add getargv and setargv methods to allow access to ikiwiki's
355 * Correct bug in encoding of %pagestate keys, fixes edittemplate.
356 * Detect invalid pagespecs and do not merge them in add_depends,
357 as that can result in a broken merged pagespec that matches nothing.
358 * Record new pages in %pagesources temporarily when previewing so that
359 things that need to know the page source or type can query it from there.
360 Fixes previewing of tables when creating a new page.
361 * German translation update. Closes: #471540
362 * Time::Duration is no longer used, remove from docs and recommends.
363 * Store userinfo in network byte order for easy portability.
364 (Old files will be automatically converted.)

367 * inline: Crazy optimisation to work around slow markdown.
368 * Precompile pagespecs, about 10% overall speedup.
369 * Changed to a binary index file, written using Storable, for speed.
370 * external: Work around XML RPC's lack of support for null by passing
371 a special sentinal value.
372 * inline: Allow the "feedshow" parameter to take values greater than the

375 dest are on the same filesystem and the wiki includes large media files,

380 ikiwiki (2.40) unstable; urgency=low
383 * Add new preprocessor directive syntax¸ using a '!' prefix. Add a
384 prefix_directives option to the setup file to turn this syntax on;
385 currently defaults to false, for backward compatibility. Support
386 optional '!' prefix even with prefix_directives off, and use that in
387 the underlay to support either setting of prefix_directives. Add NEWS
388 entry with migration information.
391 * Danish translation update from Jonas Smedegaard. Closes: #465152
392 * Generate XML RPC messages with the encoding set to utf-8 instead
393 of XML::RPC's default of us-ascii. Allows interoperation with
394 python's xmlrpc library, which threw invalid encoding exceptions and
395 caused the rst plugin to hang.
396 * Add the linkify and scan hooks. These hooks can be used to implement
397 custom, first-class types of wikilinks.
398 * Move standard wikilink implementation to a new link plugin, which
399 will of course be enabled by default.
400 * camelcase: Convert to use new linkify and scan hooks rather than the old
402 * Setting NOTAINT=1 had no effect when building ikiwiki itself, fix this.
403 * Depend on HTML::Scrubber, since the scrubber is enabled by default and
404 dies if its can't be loaded.
405 * The search plugin needs to override <base> to point to the directory
406 containing ikiwiki.cgi, but this should not change the urls to the style
407 sheets etc. Add a new forcebareurl parameter to misctemplate to allow
409 * Preview limits the page dropdown to what's selected previously
410 (as preserving the full list across preview would be tricky). Userdirs
411 were still being offered as an option there, remove them.
412 * Fix a bug where user A created a page concurrently with user B, and
413 when B previewed it would redirect B to A's new page, losing B's work.
414 Instead, don't redirect and let conflict handling resolve it.
415 * monotone: Add code to default mergerc file to run
416 _MTN/ikiwiki-netsync-hook when a commit is merged in from the net.
417 * tla: Remove call to escapeHTML when constructing recentchanges message;
418 the html is escaped at a different level. Closes: #466495
419 * bzr, mercurial: Remove unused import of escapeHTML.
420 * Fix another preview will_render bug. This one involved inline,
421 which forced a scan of the page to make available metadata that
422 appeared after the inline directive. Problem is that scan made it forget
423 about any other files rendered due to the page. The scan also turns out
424 to be unnecessary now, since meta persistently stores state and it's
425 always available. So it was just removed.
426 * Disable taint checking for all builds as people keep complaining about it,
427 and since all versions of perl seem to be hopelessly broken.
428 * Fix links generated by preprocessor directives when previewing.
429 * inline: When forcing urls absolute for rss feeds, skip mailto and other

475 ikiwiki (2.31) unstable; urgency=low
478 * Revert preservation of input file modification times in output files,
479 since this leads to too many problems with web caching, especially with
480 inlined pages. Properly solving this would involve tracking every page
481 that contributes to a page's content and using the youngest of them all,
482 as well as special cases for things like the version plugin, and it's just
484 * aggregate: Forking a child broke the one state that mattered: Forcing
485 the aggregating page to be rebuilt. Fix this.
486 * cgi hooks are now run before ikiwiki state is loaded.

488 tricky locking code when saving a web edit.
489 * poll: This plugin turns out to have edited pages w/o doing any locking.
490 Oops. Convert it from a cgi to a sessioncgi hook, which will work
492 * recentchanges: Improve handling of links on the very static changes pages
493 by thunking to the CGI, which can redirect to the page, or allow it to be
494 created if it doesn't exist.
495 * recentchanges: Exipre all *._change pages, even if the directory
496 they're in has changed.
497 * aggregate: Lots of changes; aggregation can now run without locking the
498 wiki, and there is a separate aggregatelock to prevent multiple concurrent
500 * monotone changes by Brian May:
501 - On commits, replace "mtn sync" bidirectional with "mtn push" single
502 direction. No need to pull changes when doing a commit. mtn sync
503 is still called in rcs_update.
504 - Support for viewing differences via patches using viewmtn.
505 * inline: When previewing, still call will_render on rss/atom files,
506 just avoid actually writing the files. This is necessary because ikiwiki
507 saves state after a preview (in case it actually *did* write files),
508 and if will_render isn't called its security checks will get upset

511 * inline: Add new `allowrss` and `allowatom` config options. These can be
512 used if you want a wiki that doesn't default to generating rss or atom
513 feeds, but that does allow them to be turned on for specific blogs.

524 ikiwiki (2.30) unstable; urgency=low
527 * Old versions of git-init don't support --git-dir or GIT_DIR with
528 --bare. Change ikiwiki-makerepo to use a method that should work with
529 those older versions too.
530 * aggregate: Don't let feeds set creation times for pages in the future.
531 * Add full parser for git diff-tree output (Brian Downing)
532 * aggregate: Fork a child process to handle the aggregation. This simplifies
533 the code, since that process can change internal state as needed, and
534 it will automatically be cleaned up for the parent process, which proceeds
535 to render the changes.
538 * Add trailing comma to commented-out umask in sample ikiwiki.setup, so
539 that uncommenting it does not break the setup file.
542 * inline: The template can check for FIRST and LAST, which will be
543 set for the first and last inlined page. Useful for templates that build
545 * prettydate,ddate: Don't ignore time formats passed to displaytime
547 * Pages with extensions starting with "_" are internal-use, and will
548 not be rendered or web-edited, or matched by normal pagespecs.
549 * Add "internal()" pagespec that matches internal-use pages.
550 * RecentChanges is now a static html page, that's updated whenever a commit
551 is made to the wiki. It's built as a blog using inline, so it can have
552 an rss feed that users can subscribe to.
553 * Removed support for sending commit notification mails. Along with it went
554 the svnrepo and notify settings, though both will be ignored if left in
555 setup files. Also gone with it is the "user()" pagespec.
557 * meta: Add pagespec functions to match against title, author, authorurl,
558 license, and copyright. This can be used to create custom RecentChanges.
559 * meta: To support the pagespec functions, metadata about pages has to be
560 retained as pagestate.
561 * Fix encoding bug when pagestate values contained spaces.

571 feeds if available. (rss doesn't allow such info on a per-post basis)
572 * Also include overall copyright/license and author info in atom feeds if
574 * meta: Allow copyright/license metadata to contain arbitrary markup.
575 * Call preprocessor hooks in void context during the scan pass. This allows
576 the hook to determine if it's just scanning, and avoid expensive
578 * img: Detect scan mode and avoid generating and writing the image file
579 during it, for a 2x speedup.
580 * meta: Run in scan mode again (more intelligently) and re-add support for

583 that needs to use it. This was broken in version 2.16.
584 * template: Remove bogus htmlize pass added in 2.16.
585 * template: Htmlize template variables, but also provide a raw version
586 via `<TMPL_VAR raw_variable>`.
587 * When htmlizing text, if the input is a single line with no newline,
588 and the htmlizer (such as markdown and textile) generates a html
589 paragraph, remove it. This allows removing several hacks from other
590 plugins that htmlize fragements of pages.
591 * In preferences, allow the subscriptions and email fields to be cleared.

618 * Split error messages for failures to drop real uid and gid.
619 * Retry dropping uid and gid, possibly this will help with the "Resource
620 temporarily unavailable" failures I've experienced under xen.
621 * Stop testing Encode::is_utf8 in decode_form_utf8: That doesn't work.
622 * decode_form_utf8 only fixed the utf-8 encoding for fields that were
623 registered at the time it was called, which was before the
624 formbuilder_setup hook. Fields added by the hook didn't get decoded.
625 But it can't be put after the hook either, since plugins using the hook
626 need to be able to use form values. To fix this dilemma, it's been changed
627 to a decode_cgi_utf8, which is called on the cgi query object, before the
628 form is set up, and decodes *all* cgi parameters.
629 * aggregate: Only save state if it was already loaded. This didn't used to

642 * conditional: Improve regexp testing for simple uses of pagespecs
643 that match only the page using the directive, adding 'included()'
644 and supporting negated pagespecs and added whitespace.
645 * map: Fix handling of common prefix to handle the case where it's
646 in a subdirectory. Patch by Larry Clapp.
647 * aggregate: Fix stupid mistake introduced when converting it to use
648 the needsbuild hook. This resulted in feeds not being removed when pages

658 to avoid polluting the main namespace, and some were further renamed.
659 * meta: Add redir support, based on a patch by Thomas Schwinge.
660 * Redirs added for moved basewiki pages. These will be removed in a future
662 * Remove .otl file from sandbox to avoid build ugliness. Closes: #454181
663 * Finally implemented a simple per-page data storage mechanism for plugins,
664 via the %pagestate hash.
665 * Use pagestate in meta to detect potential redir loops.
666 * Added a version plugin that saves state about what's using it, to force
667 pages to rebuild when ikiwiki's version changes.
668 * The calendar plugin stores state about when it needs to be updated,
669 and forces rebuilds of the pages that contain calendars. So
670 running ikiwiki --refresh at midnight is now enough, no need for a full
671 wiki rebuild each midnight.
672 * calendar: Work around block html parsing bug in markdown 1.0.1 by
673 enclosing the calendar in an extra div.
674 * Fix file pruning code to work if ikiwiki is run with "." as the srcdir.
675 * Add an edittemplate plugin, allowing registering template pages, that
676 provide default content for new pages created using the web frontend.
677 * Change formbuilder hook to not be responsible for displaying a form,
678 so that more than one plugin can use this hook.
679 I believe this is a safe change, since only passwordauth uses this hook.
680 (If some other plugin already used it, it would have broken passwordauth!)
681 * Ensure that web edited pages always end in a newline.
682 * Avoid unnecessary stat calls to get mtime when rendering pages, use
684 * Preserve input file modification times in output files.
685 * Allow dashes in preprocessor directive commands, and shortcuts.
686 * Htmlize parameters passed to the template preprocessor directive before
687 inserting them into the html template. This ensures that markdown
688 acts on them, even if the value is expanded inside a block-level html
689 element in the html template. Closes: #454058
690 * Use a div in the note template rather than a span.
691 * shortcut: Expand %S to the raw input text, not url-encoded.
692 * Don't increment feed numbers when an inline has no feeds. (Nis Martensen)
693 * Allow editing a page and deleting all content, while still disallowing
694 creating a new page that's entirely empty.
695 * meta: Drop support for "meta link", since supporting this for internal
696 links required meta to be run during scan, which complicated its data
697 storage, since it had to clear data stored during the scan pass to avoid
698 duplicating it during the normal preprocessing pass.
699 * If you used "meta link", you should switch to either "meta openid" (for
700 openid delegations), or tags (for internal, invisible links). I assume
701 that nobody really used "meta link" for external, non-openid links, since
702 the htmlscrubber ate those. (Tell me differently and I'll consider bringing
704 * meta: Improved data storage.
705 * meta: Drop the hackish filter hook that was used to clear
706 stored data before preprocessing, this hack was ugly, and broken (cf:
707 liw's disappearing openids).
708 * aggregate: Convert filter hook to a needsbuild hook.

785 * Fix an aggregate plugin expiry bug. Over time, it's possible for the same
786 page name to be expired and reused for several distinct guids. When this
787 happened, the expiry code counted each past guid that had used that page
788 name as a currently existing page, and thus expired too many pages.
789 * Avoid a race in the git rcs_commit function, by not assuming HEAD will
790 stay the same for the duration of the function.
791 * Avoid using commands like git-diff and instead use "git diff".
792 In some configurations, only the main git command is in the path.

794 of -m to git-log, and by skipping display of commits that change no

849 showed up where a web edit that added a page caused a near-concurrent
850 web edit to fail in will_render. While it would be hard to reproduce this,
851 my analysis is that the failing cgi started first, loaded the index file
852 (prior to locking) then the other cgi created the new page and rendered
853 it, and then the failing cgi choked on the new file when _it_ tried to
854 render it. Ensuring that the index file is loaded after taking the lock

857 to be passed on to stderr. Also fixes a potential bug, since git error

1003 * Fix bug when editing file from underlaydir, need to rcs_add it even though
1004 a page creation isn't occuring.
1005 * Various minor fixes and stylistic improvements suggested by Perl::Critic.
1006 * Applied Jeremie Koenig's pluggable editpage buttons patch:
1007 - add a title to the editpage form;
1008 - pass a reference to the list of buttons to the formbuilder_setup
1009 hooks, so we can add ours;
1010 - relax asumption about the possible submit values (use "Save Page"
1012 - de-hardcode the submit buttons from the editpage template
1013 (This was needed for compatability with a bug in CGI::FormBuilder
1014 3.0401, but ikiwiki already needs a newer version.)
1015 * Pass buttons to all other formbuilder_setup hooks too.

1027 calendar, and youtube. Normally, the htmlsanitiser eats these since they
1028 use unsafe tags, the embed plugin overrides it for trusted sites.

1061 most web sites serve ikiwiki xhtml files as text/html and mozilla browsers

1063 recommendations in appendix C of the XHTML spec. Closes: #432045

1095 * Change the aggregate plugin's locking strategy. Now it defers loading state
1096 until the wiki is building and already locked, unless it's aggregating.
1097 When aggregating, it does not wait for the lock if it cannot get it, and
1098 instead exits, to prevent aggregating processes from piling up.
1099 * Updated Spanish translation from Victor Moral.
1100 * Correct bug in the img plugin that caused dependencies on images to not
1101 always be tracked correctly.
1102 * Deal better with rebuilds that involve moving files; track and clean up the
1104 * Change where the img plugin puts scaled images. It's better to make the
1105 scaled images subpages of the page that embeds them, rather than putting
1106 them alongside the original image, since if two pages scale the same image
1107 the same way, this prevents complications in dealing with two pages
1108 creating the same file. The move will be handled transparently, though you
1109 might want to rebuild your wiki to make it occur in one step.
1110 * Fix FTBFS in test suite introduced in last version. Closes: #425891
1111 * Apply a patch from Carl Worth allowing a class attribute to be passed
1112 through the img plugin. Also allow the id attribute to be passed through.
1113 * More consistent encoding of titles in rss and atom feeds. Don't use
1114 ESCAPE=HTML for titles in the templates for these feeds, and instead
1115 escape the title going in to the template. Previously, the title was
1116 sometimes double-escaped in a feed (if set via meta title), and sometimes
1117 not (if set from the page filename).
1118 * In the meta plugin, when a title is set, encode the html entities in it
1119 numerically. This works better in the current landscape of a rss spec that
1120 doesn't specify encoding, and variously broken feed consumers, according
1121 to <http://www.rssboard.org/rss-profile#data-types-characterdata>.

1999 * Change how the stylesheet url is determined in the templates: Remove
2000 STYLEURL and add BASEURL to all templates (some already had it). This
2001 new more general variable can be used to link to other things (eg, images)
2002 from the template, as well as stylesheets.
2003 * Fix a bug introduced last version to do with nested inlines.
2004 * Allow preprocessor directives to span multiple lines, both to make
2005 long ones with lots of values easier to write, and to allow for ones with
2006 multi-line quoted values.
2007 * Allow preprocessor directives to contain python-like triple-quoted
2008 text blocks, for easy nesting of quotes inside.
2009 * Add a template plugin.
2010 * Make pagespec merge code smarter about merging duplicate pagespecs.
2011 * Patch from Jordà Polo to make Setup::Standard support hashes in config
2013 * Change order of linkify and preprocess; first preprocess and then linkify.
2014 This allows passing a wikilink inside a parameter to a preprocessor
2015 directive without it being expanded to html, and leaking out of the
2016 parameter, which had required some non-obvious use of triple-quoting
2017 to avoid. Note that any preprocessor plugins that output something
2018 that looks like a wikilink will now have it treated as such; AFAIK
2019 this doesn't change any behavior though except for the template plugin.
2020 * Enable preprocessor directives when previewing an edit.
2021 * Make all pages pull in a local.css style sheet, if present. This won't
2022 be included in ikiwiki, but can be created to make local styling changes
2023 w/o needing to merge in every new change to the distributed style.css.

2026 from a different directory.

2031 * Patch from James Westby to add a --sslcookie switch, which forces
2032 cookies to only be sent over ssl connections to avoid interception.

2034 to the preferences page.

2092 * Man page format fixups.
2093 * If the meta plugin overides the page title, set a title_overridden
2094 variable in the template to true. This allows doing things with the
2095 templates conditional on the title being overriden.
2096 * Add a %pagecase which maps lower-case page names to the actual case
2097 used in the filename. Use this in bestlinks calculation instead of
2098 forcing the link to lowercase.
2099 * Also use %pagecase in various other places that want to check if a page
2100 with a given name exists.
2101 * This means that links to pages with mixed case names will now work,

2316 flagged string even if the locale causes it to generate utf8 output,
2317 so make sure to let perl know it should be handled as utf8. Also,
2318 the optimised version used for standard time formats won't work if the

2333 This allows adding or removing plugins w/o overriding the whole list of
2334 default plugins, which makes it easier to upgrade when new default plugins

2337 default (of course!). Based on a patch by Faidon Liambotis.
2338 * Add a html plugin, which can be used to write wikis in raw html,
2339 if you'd ever want to do such a thing. Slightly tricky, since ikiwiki
2340 defaults to not processing .html files, since w/o this plugin they would
2341 be copied unsanitised. With this plugin, it will process and html
2342 sanitise them, like any other page type.
2343 * Rebuilding wrappers is necessary on upgrade to this version.
2344 * Make ikiwiki --setup --refresh rebuild wrappers, so wrapper rebuild
2345 will be automatically done on all upgrades.
2346 * Don't send pings if the wiki is being rebuilt.
2347 * Work around very innefficient behavior in File::Spec::abs2rel. Result
2348 is a savings of 2 pointless fork/execs per link calculation, which
2349 results in ~25% speedup of ikiwiki building its own doc wiki, and
2350 about 35% speedup displaying RecentChanges!

2371 * YA utf-8 patch from Recai, this time to fix previewing a page so that
2372 the text in the input box is re-encoded back to utf-8.
2373 * -CSD does not affect modules, so readfile() was not using the utf-8 input
2374 layer, which led to lots of problems; make it force read files as utf-8.
2376 * Note that as a consequence, this version of ikiwiki will actually try to
2377 parse utf8 in source files for the first time, which may expose broken
2378 utf8 in wiki sources that was hidden before. Most common will be
2379 perl warnings like "utf8 "\xE9" does not map to Unicode"
2380 * writefile() likewise needs to use the utf8 output layer.
2381 * Remove the -CSD from ikiwiki's hashbang since it's useless to have it
2383 * Revert some of the decode_utf8 changes in CGI.pm that seem unnecessary
2384 given the readfile fix.

2386 * Put back the encode_utf8 in the input to markdown; it's really not utf-8
2388 * More utf-8 fixes from Recai, partly to things I broke above:
2389 - The serious problem is that writefile() saves the content in undecoded
2390 format in CGI, hence all (non-ascii) chars are corrupted permanently.
2391 - Comment field in edit page is not decoded and all the non-ascii chars in
2392 this field are corrupted as the result. We should decode it as we do it

2411 that is a backlink of page foo. Ie, "Please notify me of changes in all
2412 pages that link to my home page in the wiki"
2413 - Locking any pages that are linked to from a particular page, so that
2414 lists of locks can be exposed in the wiki.

2416 when a todo item is done, instead of the previous moving it to a different

2419 * Add a meta plugin, which allows specifying various metadata about pages,
2420 like license and author. It also allows for inserting html link and meta
2421 tags into html, overriding the title, and adding hidden WikiLinks, which
2422 can be useful when using link-based globbing for page categorisation.

2442 <span>, so pages can use <h1> internally instead of needing to use <h2>.
2443 * Updated all of ikiwiki's own wiki pages for that.
2444 * Add pagetemplate hook, which can be used by plugins that want to mess
2445 around with adding new stuff to the page template.
2446 * Remove headercontent; the search plugin now adds the search box to the
2447 header by registering a pagetemplate hook, and other plugins should do
2449 * Rebuilding on upgrade to this version is recommended.
2450 * Add a html validity check to the test suite, using the wdg-html-validator,
2452 * Make the html valid when there is nothing in the actions list.
2453 * Reordered some function call parameters for consistency.
2454 * Enable full utf-8 support for page input and output.
2455 * Add a workaround for markdown, which does not work well with utf-8
2457 * --getctime had bitrotted (well I only ever used it the once so far..),
2458 fix and make it a bit more flexible
2459 * rcs_getctime is changed, now rather than needing to loop over all pages,
2460 it should just use the rcs to get the ctime of the passed file.
2461 * When inlining a page in another one, links from the inlined page are now
2462 expanded the same as they are when rendering the inlined page as a
2463 standalone page. So rather than being expanded from the POV of the
2464 inlining page, they are expanded from the POV of the inlined page.
2466 For example, a link from blog/foo to "bar" will now link to blog/bar
2467 if it exists. Previously this needed to be a link explicitly to
2468 "blog/bar"; such links will also continue to work.
2470 (This was slightly complex to do as the link still has to be constructed
2471 relative to the inlining page.)
2472 * Make page edit textarea resize to fit browser window.
2473 * Add -refresh option to ikiwiki-mass-rebuild and use that on upgrades that
2474 do not need a full rebuild, in order to update any basewiki pages.

2486 * Remove dups from the brokenlinks list.
2487 * Add libc6-dev to dependencies, needed to build wrappers.
2488 * Install wikilist in correct location. Closes: #367371

2492 ikiwiki (1.1) unstable; urgency=low
2494 * Rename inlinepage to depends, so that it can be used to refer to more
2495 dependency relationships than just inlining. This will require a rebuild
2496 on upgrade to this version.
2497 * Move the rss link, put it in the blogpost form if there is one and at the
2498 top if not. This is both nicer because easier to find, and it cleans up
2499 the code which had used inlinepage as a flag for adding the link later.
2500 * Allow the depends GlobList to be built up from multiple sources (such as
2501 plugins) during a page render.
2502 * Which means that more than one blog is now supported to appear on a
2503 single page. (With some limitations, like only the last one getting an
2505 * Added a plugin system.
2506 * Added a pagecount plugin, enabled by default.
2507 * Support PreProcessorDirectives with no parameters, ie "[[pagecount ]]".
2508 * Fixed/optimised backlinks code, to avoid rebuilding pages to update
2509 backlinks when the backlinks hadn't really changed.
2510 * Moved inline page support, rss generation etc into the inline plugin,
2512 * Added brokenlinks plugin, not enabled by default, but rather handy.
2513 * Fix several broken links in the doc wiki.
2514 * Smarter behavior when creating a page and a page of the same name (but
2515 different location) already exists.
2516 * Add an orphans plugin for finding pages that nothing links to.
2517 * Removed backlinks page, which it turns out nothing used.
2518 * Split off an IkiWiki.pm out of ikiwiki and have all the other modules use
2519 it, this will allow for adding a unit test suite.
2520 * Add unit tests for several core functions, including globlist_match,
2521 dirname, basename, bestlink, linkify, pagetitle, titlepage.
2522 * Smart globlist merging.
2523 * Patch from Thomas Schwinge to switch from --svn to --rcs=svn, etc,
2524 to pave the way for adding other RCS support. This also changes the
2525 setup files, where before they had svn => 1 or svn => 0, now they have
2526 rcs => "svn" or rcs => "".
2527 * Add a debian/NEWS file with upgrade notes.
2528 * Load whatever rcs module is specified, so new ones can be just dropped in
2529 as plugins and work. (Well, in theory.)
2530 * Add some basic docs about writing RCS modules.
2531 * Broke search capability out into a plugin, removed the --hyperestraier
2533 * Added smiley plugin, nicely controlled and documented by the smileys page.
2534 * Copied in some smileys from Moin Moin.
2535 * Allow links of the form [[some page|page]], with whitespace in the link
2537 * Removed --sanitize and --no-sanitize, replaced with --plugin htmlscrubber
2538 and --disable-plugin htmlscrubber.
2539 * Allow discussion links on pages to be turned off with --no-discussion.
2540 * Add ikiwiki-mass-rebuild script, ripped out of the postinst.
2541 * Add some new config items to the estseek.conf template, which are needed
2542 by hyperestraier 1.2.3.
