3 * Change how the stylesheet url is determined in the templates: Remove
4 STYLEURL and add BASEURL to all templates (some already had it). This
5 new more general variable can be used to link to other things (eg, images)

7 * Fix a bug introduced last version to do with nested inlines.
8 * Allow preprocessor directives to span multiple lines, both to make
9 long ones with lots of values easier to write, and to allow for ones with
10 multi-line quoted values.

16 * Add a tail fin^W^Wsidebar plugin by Tuomo Valkonen.
17 * If a page links to itself, mark up the link text in a span with
18 class="selflink" so that it can be styled. I don't have a useful style
19 defined for that though.
20 * Call filter hooks on inlined page content.
21 * Support inlining pages raw, rather than creating a blog.
22 * Clean up yes/no parameter parsing in inline plugin.
23 * Implemented better cycle detection in the inline plugin; nested inlines

26 * Add otl format plugin, which handles files as created by vimoutliner.
27 * Fix ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to work in the way the postinst uses it.

57 ikiwiki (1.18) unstable; urgency=low
59 * The last release accidentially installed ikiwiki as ikiwiki.pl, now fixed.
61 * Man page format fixups.
62 * If the meta plugin overides the page title, set a title_overridden
63 variable in the template to true. This allows doing things with the
64 templates conditional on the title being overriden.
65 * Add a %pagecase which maps lower-case page names to the actual case
66 used in the filename. Use this in bestlinks calculation instead of
67 forcing the link to lowercase.
68 * Also use %pagecase in various other places that want to check if a page
69 with a given name exists.
70 * This means that links to pages with mixed case names will now work,
71 even if the link is in some other case mixture, and mixed case pages
72 should be fully supported throughout ikiwiki.

83 templates but can be useful for things like making comma-delimited lists
84 of tags or what have you.
85 * Remove <br> from end of aggregate preprocessor directive output.
86 * Ship ikiwiki executable as ikiwiki.pl in source to avoid issues on
87 case-sensative filesystems like OSX.

89 in case it was installed as one. Then fall back to trying

102 * Try to handle relative links in aggregated feeds. However,
103 the current support is a crude hack due to limitations of XML::Feed:
104 xml:base is not supported, neither is Content-Location. And of course,
105 relative links in RSS feeds are ill-undefined..
106 * Make aggregator save permalinks and author name to pages as metadata.
107 * Add permalink and author support to meta plugin, affecting RSS feeds
109 * Various CSS and formatting changes.
110 * Encode link and guid urls in rss feeds to avoid illegal utf8 slipping in.
111 * Add xhtml files to the default prune regexp.
112 * Also generate rel=bookmark links for permalinks.
113 * Fix the htmltidy plugin, which wasn't working due my breaking it when
115 * Don't run tidy with -xml as that fails if the input is not well-formed.
116 Run it with -asxhtml instead, so it will output well-formed xhtml no
117 matter what the input.

119 * Add a new format hook, and make tidy use it, since tidy can really only
120 operate on and output complete html documents, not the body chunks

150 * Don't put blog post forms on pages if there's no cgiurl set.
151 * --setup --refresh no longer rebuilds wrappers. Use --setup --refresh
152 --wrappers to do that.
153 * Add %IkiWiki::forcerebuild to provide a way for plugins like aggregate
154 to update pages that haven't changed on disk.
155 * Change meta tags to use html entity-escaped text for values, so that
156 quotes and such can be represented in title tags.
157 * Depend and build-depend on HTML::Parser for HTML::Entities which is used

165 * Fix issue with unicode filenames and updating the hyper estradier search
166 index. (Aka Please Please Please, let that be the last one.)
167 * Patch from Roland Mas to support an rss=no parameter to inline directives.
169 * Renamed GlobLists to PageSpecs.
170 * PageSpecs can now include nested parens, "and", and "or". This remains
171 backwards compatible to the old GlobList format. It's implemented by
172 treating the GlobList as a very limited microlanguage that is transformed
173 to perl code that does the matching.
174 * The old GlobList format is deprecated, and I encourage users to switch to
175 using the new PageSpec format. Compatability with the old format will be
176 removed at some point, possibly by 2.0.

190 the wikiformat plugin works. Thanks, Emanuele Aina.
191 * Patch from Alessandro Dotti Contra to clean up backlinks and navbar
192 display, running them through pagetitle. This removes ugly underscores and
193 other gunk from the display, much nicer. You may want to rebuild your wiki
194 when upgrading to get the cleanup globally.

198 - Adds a locale setting to setup files.
199 - Proper local time, if the locale configuration option is used.
200 - Support for UTF-8 (or ISO-8859-X) filenames in SVN. Before this patch,
201 commiting (or even rcs_updating) on repositories with UTF-8 filenames was

221 - Allows preprocessor directives to have parameters with no specified

228 on the template before setting them, for robustness.
229 * Switch pagetemplate hooks to using named parameters.
230 * Pass a destpage parameter to preprocessor and pagetemplate hooks.
231 This will be the page that a source page will be part of, which is
232 different than the source page for inlined pages.
233 * Audited all plugins to endure they pass (page, destpage) to htmllink

254 speeds up recentchanges a lot for wikis with more history.
255 * Patch from Recai to fix utf8 issues in git backend.
256 * Add wikitext markup plugin, which supports ".wiki" pages written in the
257 original wiki syntax, CamelCase links and all.
258 * Support a w3mmode, which lets w3m run ikiwiki using its local CGI
259 support, to edit pages etc without a web server.
260 * Display CGI processing errors if present.
261 * Fix from Faidon for a XML parser issue that breaks utf-8 for
262 RecentChanges. Avoid using XML::SAX::PurePerl, which is buggy in this
263 area, and also way slow.
264 * Match 'web commit from' in SVN and git, these are web commits too.

278 * Fix orphans plugin to not count a link to a nonexistant page as a reason
279 for a page not being an orphan.
280 * Support pinging services such as Technorati using XML-RPC to notify them
281 about changes to rss feeds.
282 * Parse svn log as xml for improved utf8 and security. Note that this makes
283 ikiwiki depend on XML::Simple. Patch by Faidon Liambotis.
284 * POSIX::strftime doesn't know about encodings and doesn't return a utf8
285 flagged string even if the locale causes it to generate utf8 output,
286 so make sure to let perl know it should be handled as utf8. Also,
287 the optimised version used for standard time formats won't work if the
288 user has changed locale, so drop it. Thanks, Faidon Liambotis.
289 * Fix re-encoding of the comments field to utf8 if a commit fails
290 due to a conflict. Thanks, Faidon Liambotis.
291 * Let svn know that commits have utf8 commit messages. Thanks, Faidon
293 * Add insane double encode/decode to utf8 around call to markdown.
294 This works around a truely strange bug, which is apparently a bug in
295 perl, #376329. Also added a test case for it.

297 getting in the way of the preview.
298 * Centralised all calls to HTML::Template and force all the templates
300 * Support pages with utf8 filenames. Patch by Faidon Liambotis.
301 * Introduce add_plugins and disable_plugins config options in setup files.
302 This allows adding or removing plugins w/o overriding the whole list of
303 default plugins, which makes it easier to upgrade when new default plugins
305 * Support htmlize plugins and make mdwn one such plugin, which is enabled by
306 default (of course!). Based on a patch by Faidon Liambotis.
307 * Add a html plugin, which can be used to write wikis in raw html,
308 if you'd ever want to do such a thing. Slightly tricky, since ikiwiki
309 defaults to not processing .html files, since w/o this plugin they would
310 be copied unsanitised. With this plugin, it will process and html
311 sanitise them, like any other page type.
312 * Rebuilding wrappers is necessary on upgrade to this version.
313 * Make ikiwiki --setup --refresh rebuild wrappers, so wrapper rebuild
314 will be automatically done on all upgrades.
315 * Don't send pings if the wiki is being rebuilt.
316 * Work around very innefficient behavior in File::Spec::abs2rel. Result
317 is a savings of 2 pointless fork/execs per link calculation, which
318 results in ~25% speedup of ikiwiki building its own doc wiki, and
319 about 35% speedup displaying RecentChanges!
320 * Make RecentChanges use a table and some CSS, should be much more readable.
321 No code changes involved.
322 * Encode & in diffurl in examples, to conform to pedantic rules.
323 * Speed up RecentChanges by another 40% or so with some memoization.
324 * Memoize abs2rel, which is still kinda slow, for another 30% speedup
325 in time to build the doc wiki.

340 * YA utf-8 patch from Recai, this time to fix previewing a page so that
341 the text in the input box is re-encoded back to utf-8.
342 * -CSD does not affect modules, so readfile() was not using the utf-8 input
343 layer, which led to lots of problems; make it force read files as utf-8.
345 * Note that as a consequence, this version of ikiwiki will actually try to
346 parse utf8 in source files for the first time, which may expose broken
347 utf8 in wiki sources that was hidden before. Most common will be
348 perl warnings like "utf8 "\xE9" does not map to Unicode"
349 * writefile() likewise needs to use the utf8 output layer.
350 * Remove the -CSD from ikiwiki's hashbang since it's useless to have it
352 * Revert some of the decode_utf8 changes in CGI.pm that seem unnecessary
353 given the readfile fix.
354 * Add utf-8 testcases for readfile and htmlize.
355 * Put back the encode_utf8 in the input to markdown; it's really not utf-8
357 * More utf-8 fixes from Recai, partly to things I broke above:
358 - The serious problem is that writefile() saves the content in undecoded
359 format in CGI, hence all (non-ascii) chars are corrupted permanently.
360 - Comment field in edit page is not decoded and all the non-ascii chars in
361 this field are corrupted as the result. We should decode it as we do it
363 - Add 'use encoding "utf8"' to CGI.pm to avoid warnings about wide

372 Note that as a side effect, dates will now be displayed using the local
373 timezone, not as GMT.
374 * More security review.
375 * Patch from Dr. Zini to add link() and backlink() to globlists. This allows
376 for some handy stuff like:
377 - Using links as a kind of tag; creating blog pages that list all pages
378 containing a given tag/link or not containing some other tag.
379 - Subscribing to mail notifications whenever a change is made to a page
380 that is a backlink of page foo. Ie, "Please notify me of changes in all
381 pages that link to my home page in the wiki"
382 - Locking any pages that are linked to from a particular page, so that
383 lists of locks can be exposed in the wiki.
384 * Reorganised the doc wiki's todo/* pages, using a link/tag to flag
385 when a todo item is done, instead of the previous moving it to a different
387 * Allow pagetemplate plugins to override *anything* in the template.
388 * Add a meta plugin, which allows specifying various metadata about pages,
389 like license and author. It also allows for inserting html link and meta
390 tags into html, overriding the title, and adding hidden WikiLinks, which
391 can be useful when using link-based globbing for page categorisation.
392 * Remove preprocessor directives from inlined pages.
393 * Allow simple preprocessor directive values to be specified w/o quotes.
394 * Add support for using git instead of subversion as the RCS backend,
395 tremendous thanks to Recai Oktaş for this.
396 * Doc updates for git.
397 * Fix absolute url munging in rss generation to support https, ftp, etc urls
399 * Patch from Recai Oktaş to improve utf-8 support, it should now use proper
400 utf-8 for edit and other fields, and for recentchanges. There may still

407 * Tell HTML::Scrubber to treat "/" as a valid attribute which is its
408 very strange way of enabling proper XHTML <br /> type tags. Output html
409 should be always valid again now.
410 * The page name and parent links has switched from using a <h1> to a styled
411 <span>, so pages can use <h1> internally instead of needing to use <h2>.
412 * Updated all of ikiwiki's own wiki pages for that.
413 * Add pagetemplate hook, which can be used by plugins that want to mess
414 around with adding new stuff to the page template.
415 * Remove headercontent; the search plugin now adds the search box to the
416 header by registering a pagetemplate hook, and other plugins should do

421 * Make the html valid when there is nothing in the actions list.
422 * Reordered some function call parameters for consistency.
423 * Enable full utf-8 support for page input and output.
424 * Add a workaround for markdown, which does not work well with utf-8
426 * --getctime had bitrotted (well I only ever used it the once so far..),
427 fix and make it a bit more flexible
428 * rcs_getctime is changed, now rather than needing to loop over all pages,
429 it should just use the rcs to get the ctime of the passed file.
430 * When inlining a page in another one, links from the inlined page are now
431 expanded the same as they are when rendering the inlined page as a
432 standalone page. So rather than being expanded from the POV of the
433 inlining page, they are expanded from the POV of the inlined page.
435 For example, a link from blog/foo to "bar" will now link to blog/bar
436 if it exists. Previously this needed to be a link explicitly to
437 "blog/bar"; such links will also continue to work.
439 (This was slightly complex to do as the link still has to be constructed
440 relative to the inlining page.)

464 dependency relationships than just inlining. This will require a rebuild

466 * Move the rss link, put it in the blogpost form if there is one and at the
467 top if not. This is both nicer because easier to find, and it cleans up
468 the code which had used inlinepage as a flag for adding the link later.

499 * Add some basic docs about writing RCS modules.
500 * Broke search capability out into a plugin, removed the --hyperestraier
502 * Added smiley plugin, nicely controlled and documented by the smileys page.

504 * Allow links of the form [[some page|page]], with whitespace in the link
506 * Removed --sanitize and --no-sanitize, replaced with --plugin htmlscrubber
507 and --disable-plugin htmlscrubber.
508 * Allow discussion links on pages to be turned off with --no-discussion.
509 * Add ikiwiki-mass-rebuild script, ripped out of the postinst.
510 * Add some new config items to the estseek.conf template, which are needed
