44 * Make the map plugin notice when pages in the map are deleted and update
46 * Add a htmlext config option, this can be used to make ikiwiki generate
47 html files with a different extension.

64 * Make the toc plugin use html-compatible anchors. This is necessary since
65 most web sites serve ikiwiki xhtml files as text/html and mozilla browsers
66 get confused. So it's best for ikiwiki to follow the compatability
67 recommendations in appendix C of the XHTML spec. Closes: #432045

69 * mercurial getctime is currently broken, apparently by some change in
70 mercurial version 0.9.4. Turn the failing test case into a TODO test case.
71 * Fix links to alternate stylesheets when usedirs is enabled. Closes: #432556

99 * Change the aggregate plugin's locking strategy. Now it defers loading state
100 until the wiki is building and already locked, unless it's aggregating.
101 When aggregating, it does not wait for the lock if it cannot get it, and
102 instead exits, to prevent aggregating processes from piling up.
103 * Updated Spanish translation from Victor Moral.
104 * Correct bug in the img plugin that caused dependencies on images to not
105 always be tracked correctly.
106 * Deal better with rebuilds that involve moving files; track and clean up the
108 * Change where the img plugin puts scaled images. It's better to make the
109 scaled images subpages of the page that embeds them, rather than putting
110 them alongside the original image, since if two pages scale the same image
111 the same way, this prevents complications in dealing with two pages
112 creating the same file. The move will be handled transparently, though you
113 might want to rebuild your wiki to make it occur in one step.
114 * Fix FTBFS in test suite introduced in last version. Closes: #425891
115 * Apply a patch from Carl Worth allowing a class attribute to be passed
116 through the img plugin. Also allow the id attribute to be passed through.
117 * More consistent encoding of titles in rss and atom feeds. Don't use
118 ESCAPE=HTML for titles in the templates for these feeds, and instead
119 escape the title going in to the template. Previously, the title was
120 sometimes double-escaped in a feed (if set via meta title), and sometimes
121 not (if set from the page filename).
122 * In the meta plugin, when a title is set, encode the html entities in it
123 numerically. This works better in the current landscape of a rss spec that
124 doesn't specify encoding, and variously broken feed consumers, according
125 to <http://www.rssboard.org/rss-profile#data-types-characterdata>.
126 * Correct some issues with display of unhandled preprocessor directives.
127 * Apply a patch from Carl Worth adding support for using globs in link()
129 * Explode some of the more insane regexps.
130 * Add test suite for preprocessor directive parsing.

151 not need to examine every page in the wiki.
152 * Add the needsbuild hook. Plugins can use this to manipulate which files
153 ikiwiki builds when refreshing the wiki.
156 * Add an account-creation password as a simple anti-spam mechanism. If
157 set in the wiki setup, passwordauth will require the password in
158 order to create an account.
161 * Updated Czech translation from Miroslav Kure.
162 * Apply patch from Paweł Tęcza to avoid using -L in Makefile as it's not
163 available in older finds.

193 * Use a fieldset to set off the openid entry from the rest of the login
195 * Enable openid logins by default.

218 content though Encode::decode_utf8.
221 * Change basewiki CSS to not put a border around images used as links.
224 * Move the footer div to enclose tags and links too.
225 * More style sheet updates, remove the hack that used the tags div to create

228 wiki rebuilds are recommended on upgrade to this version.
229 * Avoid .svn directories when installing from svn checkout.

238 more interface changes before 2.0.
239 * Updated Gujarati translation from Kartik Mistry. Closes: #421198

241 the reason why the match failed or succeeded.

264 * Add a graphviz plugin.
266 * Enhance helponformatting and related documentation to supply more
267 information about available preprocessor directives.
268 * Add myself as a co-maintainer, with Joey's approval.
271 * Add support for PROFILE=1 to the Makefile, this turns on profiling of the
272 wiki build using Devel::Profiler (Dprof can't handle ikiwiki).
273 * Add a new %destsources hash, which maps between a destination file and
274 the source page used to create it, ie it's the reverse of %renderedfiles.

296 old posts from feeds when permalinks change.

302 ikiwiki (1.49) unstable; urgency=low
305 * Add --post-commit option, which allows for the case of a split web server
306 and RCS server (or a push mirror). With this the RCS server can have a
307 real post-commit hook that sshs back to the web server, and runs ikiwiki
308 in post-commit mode to update the wiki.
309 * Fix urls generated by mirrorlist plugin.
310 * Add a templates page to the basewiki. It will automatically list all
311 available templates. Rename the old templates page to wikitemplates.
312 * Include the note template in the basewiki.
313 * Add a popup template in the basewiki. CSS based on some by Martin Krafft.

315 self-documenting, listing the available variables.
316 * Hide excess backlinks and expand using CSS trick; control quantiy via
317 the numbacklinks setting.
318 * Finally apply the index.html patch, with thanks to everyone who worked
319 on and supported creating it (especially Tuomov). This adds a "usedirs"
320 option that makes ikiwiki use foo/index.html instead of foo.html as
321 output page names. It is not yet enabled by default.

357 that given link points based on the page doing the linking. Note that this
358 could make such PageSpecs match different things than before, if you
359 relied on the old behavior of them only matching the raw link text.

365 that shouldn't appear in a printout: Search box, actions bar,
366 blog post form, tags, backlinks, and feed buttons.

463 This lets ikiwiki not build depend on perlmagic.

468 dropdown when creating a new page.
469 * Since the CGI had to drop the wiki lock to avoid deadlocking the
470 commit hook, it was possible for one CGI to race another one and "win"
471 the commit of both their files. This race has been fixed by adding a new
472 commitlock, which when locked by the CGI, disables the commit hook

908 - Picked out the set of functions and variables that most plugins

1018 This allows passing a wikilink inside a parameter to a preprocessor
1019 directive without it being expanded to html, and leaking out of the
1020 parameter, which had required some non-obvious use of triple-quoting
1021 to avoid. Note that any preprocessor plugins that output something

1023 this doesn't change any behavior though except for the template plugin.

1096 * Man page format fixups.
1097 * If the meta plugin overides the page title, set a title_overridden
1098 variable in the template to true. This allows doing things with the
1099 templates conditional on the title being overriden.
1100 * Add a %pagecase which maps lower-case page names to the actual case
1101 used in the filename. Use this in bestlinks calculation instead of
1102 forcing the link to lowercase.
1103 * Also use %pagecase in various other places that want to check if a page
1104 with a given name exists.
1105 * This means that links to pages with mixed case names will now work,

1138 the current support is a crude hack due to limitations of XML::Feed:

1140 relative links in RSS feeds are ill-undefined..

1204 * Renamed GlobLists to PageSpecs.
1205 * PageSpecs can now include nested parens, "and", and "or". This remains
1206 backwards compatible to the old GlobList format. It's implemented by
1207 treating the GlobList as a very limited microlanguage that is transformed
1208 to perl code that does the matching.

1291 * Add wikitext markup plugin, which supports ".wiki" pages written in the

1313 * Fix orphans plugin to not count a link to a nonexistant page as a reason
1314 for a page not being an orphan.
1315 * Support pinging services such as Technorati using XML-RPC to notify them
1316 about changes to rss feeds.
1317 * Parse svn log as xml for improved utf8 and security. Note that this makes
1318 ikiwiki depend on XML::Simple. Patch by Faidon Liambotis.
1319 * POSIX::strftime doesn't know about encodings and doesn't return a utf8
1320 flagged string even if the locale causes it to generate utf8 output,
1321 so make sure to let perl know it should be handled as utf8. Also,
1322 the optimised version used for standard time formats won't work if the
1323 user has changed locale, so drop it. Thanks, Faidon Liambotis.

1325 due to a conflict. Thanks, Faidon Liambotis.
1326 * Let svn know that commits have utf8 commit messages. Thanks, Faidon

1329 This works around a truely strange bug, which is apparently a bug in
1330 perl, #376329. Also added a test case for it.
1331 * Improve layout of edit page so formatting help link is always visible w/o
1332 getting in the way of the preview.
1333 * Centralised all calls to HTML::Template and force all the templates
1335 * Support pages with utf8 filenames. Patch by Faidon Liambotis.
1336 * Introduce add_plugins and disable_plugins config options in setup files.
1337 This allows adding or removing plugins w/o overriding the whole list of
1338 default plugins, which makes it easier to upgrade when new default plugins
1340 * Support htmlize plugins and make mdwn one such plugin, which is enabled by
1341 default (of course!). Based on a patch by Faidon Liambotis.
1342 * Add a html plugin, which can be used to write wikis in raw html,
1343 if you'd ever want to do such a thing. Slightly tricky, since ikiwiki
1344 defaults to not processing .html files, since w/o this plugin they would
1345 be copied unsanitised. With this plugin, it will process and html
1346 sanitise them, like any other page type.
1347 * Rebuilding wrappers is necessary on upgrade to this version.
1348 * Make ikiwiki --setup --refresh rebuild wrappers, so wrapper rebuild
1349 will be automatically done on all upgrades.
1350 * Don't send pings if the wiki is being rebuilt.
1351 * Work around very innefficient behavior in File::Spec::abs2rel. Result
1352 is a savings of 2 pointless fork/execs per link calculation, which
1353 results in ~25% speedup of ikiwiki building its own doc wiki, and
1354 about 35% speedup displaying RecentChanges!
1355 * Make RecentChanges use a table and some CSS, should be much more readable.
1356 No code changes involved.
1357 * Encode & in diffurl in examples, to conform to pedantic rules.
1358 * Speed up RecentChanges by another 40% or so with some memoization.

1375 * YA utf-8 patch from Recai, this time to fix previewing a page so that
1376 the text in the input box is re-encoded back to utf-8.
1377 * -CSD does not affect modules, so readfile() was not using the utf-8 input
1378 layer, which led to lots of problems; make it force read files as utf-8.
1380 * Note that as a consequence, this version of ikiwiki will actually try to
1381 parse utf8 in source files for the first time, which may expose broken
1382 utf8 in wiki sources that was hidden before. Most common will be
1383 perl warnings like "utf8 "\xE9" does not map to Unicode"
1384 * writefile() likewise needs to use the utf8 output layer.
1385 * Remove the -CSD from ikiwiki's hashbang since it's useless to have it
1387 * Revert some of the decode_utf8 changes in CGI.pm that seem unnecessary
1388 given the readfile fix.
1389 * Add utf-8 testcases for readfile and htmlize.
1390 * Put back the encode_utf8 in the input to markdown; it's really not utf-8
1392 * More utf-8 fixes from Recai, partly to things I broke above:
1393 - The serious problem is that writefile() saves the content in undecoded
1394 format in CGI, hence all (non-ascii) chars are corrupted permanently.
1395 - Comment field in edit page is not decoded and all the non-ascii chars in
1396 this field are corrupted as the result. We should decode it as we do it
1398 - Add 'use encoding "utf8"' to CGI.pm to avoid warnings about wide

1410 * Patch from Dr. Zini to add link() and backlink() to globlists. This allows
1411 for some handy stuff like:
1412 - Using links as a kind of tag; creating blog pages that list all pages
1413 containing a given tag/link or not containing some other tag.
1414 - Subscribing to mail notifications whenever a change is made to a page
1415 that is a backlink of page foo. Ie, "Please notify me of changes in all
1416 pages that link to my home page in the wiki"
1417 - Locking any pages that are linked to from a particular page, so that
1418 lists of locks can be exposed in the wiki.
1419 * Reorganised the doc wiki's todo/* pages, using a link/tag to flag
1420 when a todo item is done, instead of the previous moving it to a different
1422 * Allow pagetemplate plugins to override *anything* in the template.
1423 * Add a meta plugin, which allows specifying various metadata about pages,
1424 like license and author. It also allows for inserting html link and meta
1425 tags into html, overriding the title, and adding hidden WikiLinks, which
1426 can be useful when using link-based globbing for page categorisation.
1427 * Remove preprocessor directives from inlined pages.

1446 <span>, so pages can use <h1> internally instead of needing to use <h2>.

1448 * Add pagetemplate hook, which can be used by plugins that want to mess
1449 around with adding new stuff to the page template.

1451 header by registering a pagetemplate hook, and other plugins should do

1457 * Reordered some function call parameters for consistency.
1458 * Enable full utf-8 support for page input and output.
1459 * Add a workaround for markdown, which does not work well with utf-8
1461 * --getctime had bitrotted (well I only ever used it the once so far..),
1462 fix and make it a bit more flexible
1463 * rcs_getctime is changed, now rather than needing to loop over all pages,
1464 it should just use the rcs to get the ctime of the passed file.
1465 * When inlining a page in another one, links from the inlined page are now
1466 expanded the same as they are when rendering the inlined page as a
1467 standalone page. So rather than being expanded from the POV of the
1468 inlining page, they are expanded from the POV of the inlined page.
1470 For example, a link from blog/foo to "bar" will now link to blog/bar
1471 if it exists. Previously this needed to be a link explicitly to
1472 "blog/bar"; such links will also continue to work.
1474 (This was slightly complex to do as the link still has to be constructed
1475 relative to the inlining page.)

1498 * Rename inlinepage to depends, so that it can be used to refer to more
1499 dependency relationships than just inlining. This will require a rebuild
1500 on upgrade to this version.
1501 * Move the rss link, put it in the blogpost form if there is one and at the
1502 top if not. This is both nicer because easier to find, and it cleans up
1503 the code which had used inlinepage as a flag for adding the link later.
1504 * Allow the depends GlobList to be built up from multiple sources (such as
1505 plugins) during a page render.
1506 * Which means that more than one blog is now supported to appear on a
1507 single page. (With some limitations, like only the last one getting an
1509 * Added a plugin system.
1510 * Added a pagecount plugin, enabled by default.
1511 * Support PreProcessorDirectives with no parameters, ie "[[pagecount ]]".
1512 * Fixed/optimised backlinks code, to avoid rebuilding pages to update
1513 backlinks when the backlinks hadn't really changed.
1514 * Moved inline page support, rss generation etc into the inline plugin,
1516 * Added brokenlinks plugin, not enabled by default, but rather handy.
1517 * Fix several broken links in the doc wiki.
1518 * Smarter behavior when creating a page and a page of the same name (but
1519 different location) already exists.
1520 * Add an orphans plugin for finding pages that nothing links to.
1521 * Removed backlinks page, which it turns out nothing used.
1522 * Split off an IkiWiki.pm out of ikiwiki and have all the other modules use
1523 it, this will allow for adding a unit test suite.
1524 * Add unit tests for several core functions, including globlist_match,
1525 dirname, basename, bestlink, linkify, pagetitle, titlepage.
1526 * Smart globlist merging.
1527 * Patch from Thomas Schwinge to switch from --svn to --rcs=svn, etc,
1528 to pave the way for adding other RCS support. This also changes the
1529 setup files, where before they had svn => 1 or svn => 0, now they have
1530 rcs => "svn" or rcs => "".
1531 * Add a debian/NEWS file with upgrade notes.
1532 * Load whatever rcs module is specified, so new ones can be just dropped in
1533 as plugins and work. (Well, in theory.)
1534 * Add some basic docs about writing RCS modules.
1535 * Broke search capability out into a plugin, removed the --hyperestraier
1537 * Added smiley plugin, nicely controlled and documented by the smileys page.
1538 * Copied in some smileys from Moin Moin.
1539 * Allow links of the form [[some page|page]], with whitespace in the link
1541 * Removed --sanitize and --no-sanitize, replaced with --plugin htmlscrubber
1542 and --disable-plugin htmlscrubber.
1543 * Allow discussion links on pages to be turned off with --no-discussion.
1544 * Add ikiwiki-mass-rebuild script, ripped out of the postinst.
1545 * Add some new config items to the estseek.conf template, which are needed
1546 by hyperestraier 1.2.3.
