1 ikiwiki (2.30) unstable; urgency=low
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.

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

34 Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this
35 release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog".
36 Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily,
37 and will be removed later.
39 If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly
40 cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass
41 --refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that
42 contain out of date calendars.

46 ikiwiki (2.14) unstable; urgency=low
48 This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading
49 to the srcdir, and will refuse to use a srcdir specified by such a path.
50 This was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially
51 break (semi-)working wikis. If your wiki has a srcdir path containing a
52 symlink, you should change it to use a path that does not.

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

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

101 With the 2.0 release of ikiwiki, some major changes have been made to the
102 default configuration:
104 * The 'usedirs' setting is enabled by default. This *will* break all URLs
105 to wikis that did not have 'usedirs' turned on before, unless you follow
106 the procedure described at <http://ikiwiki.info/tips/switching_to_usedirs>,
107 or edit your setup file to turn usedirs off:
110 * OpenID logins are now enabled by default, if the Net::OpenID::Consumer
111 perl module is available. Password logins are also still enabled
112 by default. If you like, you can turn either OpenID or password logins
113 off via the 'disable_plugins' setting.

162 need to change how they call it. This function's first three parameters
163 are unchanged, but additional options are now passed using named
164 parameters. If you used htmllink with more than 3 parameters, you will
165 need to change it. The plugin interface version has been increased to 1.02
166 to reflect this change.

270 If your wiki is configured with a setup file, you should modify it to
271 stop setting the "plugin" list directly, and instead add or remove plugins
272 via the add_plugins and disable_plugins lines. For example, if you had:
274 plugin => [qw{inline smiley search}],
276 Change it to these lines, which disables the default htmlscrubber plugin
277 and adds the two additional plugins:
279 add_plugins => [qw{smiley search}],
280 disable_plugins => [qw{htmlscrubber}],
282 Making this change makes your ikiwiki setup file more future-proof since
283 new default plugins will be automatically used.
