+ The `ikiwiki-transition deduplinks` command introduced in the
+ last release was buggy. If you followed the NEWS file instructions
+ and ran it, you should run `ikiwiki -setup` to rebuild your wiki

+
+ If your wiki uses git, and you have a `diffurl` configured in
+ its setup file, you should be aware that gitweb has stopped
+ supporting the url form commonly used for the `diffurl`.
+
+ You can change your setup to use the newer gitweb url form:
+
+ http://git.example.com/gitweb.cgi?p=wiki.git;a=blobdiff;f=[[file]];h=[[sha1_to]];hp=[[sha1_from]];hb=[[sha1_commit]];hpb=[[sha1_parent]]
+
+ The changes from the old form are the addition of the `hpb` parameter,
+ and the change to the value used for the `hb` parameter.

+
+ The 3.0 release of ikiwiki changes several defaults and finishes

+ ikiwiki 3.0. A document explaining the process is available

+
+ TexImg standard preamble changed
+
+ The teximg plugin now has a configurable LaTeX preamble.
+ As part of this change the `mchem` LaTeX package has been removed from
+ the default LaTeX preamble as it wasn't included in many TeX installations.
+
+ The previous behaviour can be restored by adding the following to your
+ ikiwiki setup:
+
+ teximg_prefix => '\documentclass{scrartcl}
+ \usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
+ \usepackage{amsmath}
+ \usepackage{amsfonts}
+ \usepackage{amssymb}
+ \pagestyle{empty}
+ \begin{document}',
+
+ In addition, the rendering mechanism has been changed to use `dvipng` by
+ default, if available.

+
+ Admin preferences are moving from the web interface to the setup file.
+ There are three new options in the setup file: `locked_pages`, `banned_users`,
+ and `allowed_attachments`. The admin prefs page can still be used, but
+ that's deprecated, and the prefs will be hidden if a value is not already
+ set. If a value is set in the web interface, you're encouraged to move that
+ setting to your setup file now, since version 3.0 will remove the deprecated
+ admin prefs web interface.
+
+ Also, the layout of the setup file has changed in a significant way in this
+ release. Old setup files will continue to work, but new features, like the
+ new websetup interface, require a new format setup file. You can convert
+ old setup files into the new format by running
+ `ikiwiki-transition setupformat ikiwiki.setup`

+
+ The search plugin no longer uses hyperestraier. Instead, to use it you
+ will now need to install xapian-omega, and the Search::Xapian,
+ HTML::Scrubber, and Digest::SHA1 perl modules. Ie,
+ `apt-get install xapian-omega libsearch-xapian-perl libhtml-scrubber-perl libdigest-sha1-perl`
+
+ Also, wikis that use the search plugin will need to be rebuilt,
+ since the search form has changed. This will not be done automatically,
+ but can be done by running `ikiwiki-mass-upgrade` as root, or
+ running `ikiwiki -setup` on individual setup files.

+ If you allowed password based logins to your wiki, those passwords were
+ stored in cleartext in the userdb. To guard against exposing users'
+ passwords, I recommend you install the Authen::Passphrase perl module, and
+ then run `ikiwiki-transition hashpassword /path/to/srcdir` to replace all
+ existing cleartext passwords with strong (blowfish) hashes.

+
+ There were some significant template changes in ikiwiki 2.42 (and 1.33.5).
+ If you have locally modified versions of the templates, they need to be
+ updated. Most notably, the editpage.tmpl has a new FIELD-SID added to it,
+ without which web editing will fail.

+ikiwiki (2.40) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ ikiwiki now has an new syntax for preprocessor directives, using the
+ prefix '!':
+
+ [[!directive ...]]
+
+ This new syntax no longer relies on spaces to distinguish between
+ wikilinks and preprocessor directives. Thus, wikilinks can use spaces
+ in their link text, and preprocessor directives without arguments (such
+ as "toc") need not use a trailing space.
+
+ To enable the new syntax, set prefix_directives to true in your ikiwiki
+ config. For backward compatibility with existing wikis,
+ prefix_directives currently defaults to false. In ikiwiki 3.0,
+ prefix_directives will default to true, and wikis which have not yet
+ converted to the new syntax will need to set prefix_directives to false
+ in their setup files.
+
+ To convert your wiki to the new syntax, ikiwiki provides a new script
+ ikiwiki-transition.
+
+ Even with prefix_directives disabled, ikiwiki now allows an optional '!'
+ prefix on preprocessor directives (but still requires a space). Thus, a
+ directive which uses a '!' prefix and contains a space will work with
+ ikiwiki 2.40 and newer, regardless of the value of prefix_directives.
+ This allows the underlay to work with all ikiwikis.

+
+ Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the
+ spirit of a wiki compiler? Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is
+ now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds.
+ Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes
+ to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users.
+
+ All wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your
+ wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the
+ Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
+
+ With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system
+ is its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for
+ various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED
+ from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be
+ able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed.
+
+ The "notify" field in setup files is no longer used, and
+ silently ignored. You may want to remove it from your setup file.

Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this
release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog".
Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily,
and will be removed later.
- The meta plugin no longer supports setting internal or external links
- with "meta link". Instead, use "meta openid" for openid links, and use tags
- for in-wiki invisible links between pages.

If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly
cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass
--refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that
This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading
to the srcdir, and will refuse to use a srcdir specified by such a path.

+ This was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially
break (semi-)working wikis. If your wiki has a srcdir path containing a
symlink, you should change it to use a path that does not.
