+Version 3.0 of ikiwiki makes some significant changes, which
you will need to deal with when upgrading from ikiwiki 2.x.

-# moving settings from Preferences page
-
-The admin preferences page used to have settings for allowed attachments,
-locked pages, and banned users. These three settings have moved to the
-setup file:
-
- allowed_attachments => "",
- locked_pages => "",
- banned_users => "",
-
-If you have not yet upgraded to ikiwiki 3.0, you can look at the admin
-preferences page to see if any of these values is shown there, and copy
-them into the setup file.

## setup file format change
The layout of the setup file changed in a significant way in version 2.60
of ikiwiki. If you have not changed yours to the new format, now would be a
-good time to do so. Some new features, like the [[plugins/websetup]] interface,
-need the new format setup file.
+good time to do so. Some new features, like the [[plugins/websetup]]
+interface, need the new format setup file.
You can convert old setup files into the new format by running
`ikiwiki-transition setupformat your.setup`
+## moving settings from Preferences page
+
+The admin preferences page used to have settings for allowed attachments,
+locked pages, and banned users. These three settings have moved to the
+setup file, and will no longer appear on the admin preferences page once
+your wiki is upgraded to 3.0.
+
+You can move these preferences into the setup file by running
+`ikiwiki-transition moveprefs your.setup; ikiwiki -setup your.setup -refresh -wrappers`
+
+(Make sure you have converted the setup file to the new format first.)

## prefix directives
In 3.0, the syntax ikiwiki uses for [[directives|ikiwiki/directive]] has
prefix_directives => 0,
-But it's not hard to convert your wiki to the new syntax. You can use
-[[ikiwiki-transition]]. It will convert preprocessor directives in all
-files given on the command line. To convert an entire wiki:
+To convert to the new syntax, make sure that your setup file does *not*
+contain the above, then run `ikiwiki-transition prefix_directives your.setup`
+
+(And then commit the changes it makes to pages in your srcdir.)
+
+## GlobLists
+
+In 3.0, the old "GlobList" syntax for [[PageSpecs|ikiwiki/PageSpec]] is no
+longer supported. A GlobList contains multiple term, but does not separate
+them with "and" or "or":
+
+ sandbox !*/Discussion
- find wikidir/ -type f -name '*.mdwn' -print0 | xargs -0 ikiwiki-transition prefix_directives
+To convert this to a modern PageSpec, simply add "and" or "or" as
+appropriate between terms:
+
+ sandbox and !*/Discussion
-Be sure to modify the find to list all pages in the wiki if you're using
-other markup than markdown. You will probably want to commit the changes
-when you're done too.
+GlobLists have been deprecated for more than two years. If your wiki dates
+to the ikiwiki 1.0 era, you should check it for any that might have lurked
+unnoticed in it since back then. Ikiwiki version 2.72 will print warnings
+about any GlobLists it sees.
## aggregateinternal
If your wiki uses the [[aggregate|plugins/aggregate]] plugin, it will start
-to aggregate feeds to special "internal" pages.
+to aggregate feeds to special "internal" pages.
If you don't want this change, you can add the following to your setup
file:
files in the srcdir. The command to run is
`ikiwiki-transition aggregateinternal your.setup`,
3. Refresh the wiki. (`ikiwiki -setup your.setup -refresh`)
+
+## embed / googlecalendar
+
+The googlecalendar plugin has been deprecated for a long time, and is
+removed in 3.0.
+
+The embed plugin is also now deprecated, though not yet removed.
+
+If you use either plugin to embed content from google, youtube, etc,
+into your wiki, you should instead configure the [[plugins/htmlscrubber]]
+to skip sanitising some pages, via the `htmlscrubber_skip` setting.
+See [[embedding_content]] for examples.
