-News for ikiwiki 2.40:
-
- 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. It will convert preprocessor directives in
- all files given on the command line. To convert an entire wiki:
-
- find wikidir/ -type f -name '*.mdwn' -print0 | xargs -0 ikiwiki-transition prefix\_directives
-
- 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.

- * [ Josh Triplett ]
- * Add new preprocessor directive syntax¸ using a '!' prefix. Add a
- prefix\_directives option to the setup file to turn this syntax on;
- currently defaults to false, for backward compatibility. Support
- optional '!' prefix even with prefix\_directives off, and use that in
- the underlay to support either setting of prefix\_directives. Add NEWS
- entry with migration information.
- * [ Joey Hess ]
- * Danish translation update from Jonas Smedegaard. Closes: #[465152](http://bugs.debian.org/465152)
- * Generate XML RPC messages with the encoding set to utf-8 instead
- of XML::RPC's default of us-ascii. Allows interoperation with
- python's xmlrpc library, which threw invalid encoding exceptions and
- caused the rst plugin to hang.
- * Add the linkify and scan hooks. These hooks can be used to implement
- custom, first-class types of wikilinks.
- * Move standard wikilink implementation to a new link plugin, which
- will of course be enabled by default.
- * camelcase: Convert to use new linkify and scan hooks rather than the old
- hack.
- * Setting NOTAINT=1 had no effect when building ikiwiki itself, fix this.
- * Depend on HTML::Scrubber, since the scrubber is enabled by default and
- dies if its can't be loaded.
- * The search plugin needs to override <base> to point to the directory
- containing ikiwiki.cgi, but this should not change the urls to the style
- sheets etc. Add a new forcebareurl parameter to misctemplate to allow
- it to do that.
- * Preview limits the page dropdown to what's selected previously
- (as preserving the full list across preview would be tricky). Userdirs
- were still being offered as an option there, remove them.
- * Fix a bug where user A created a page concurrently with user B, and
- when B previewed it would redirect B to A's new page, losing B's work.
- Instead, don't redirect and let conflict handling resolve it.
- * monotone: Add code to default mergerc file to run
- \_MTN/ikiwiki-netsync-hook when a commit is merged in from the net.
- * tla: Remove call to escapeHTML when constructing recentchanges message;
- the html is escaped at a different level. Closes: #[466495](http://bugs.debian.org/466495)
- * bzr, mercurial: Remove unused import of escapeHTML.
- * Fix another preview will\_render bug. This one involved inline,
- which forced a scan of the page to make available metadata that
- appeared after the inline directive. Problem is that scan made it forget
- about any other files rendered due to the page. The scan also turns out
- to be unnecessary now, since meta persistently stores state and it's
- always available. So it was just removed.
- * Disable taint checking for all builds as people keep complaining about it,
- and since all versions of perl seem to be hopelessly broken.
- * Fix links generated by preprocessor directives when previewing.
- * inline: When forcing urls absolute for rss feeds, skip mailto and other
- such urls.
- * ikiwiki-makerepo: Don't fail if the third argument ends in a slash.
- * Allow colons in URLs after the first slash. (Adeodato Simó)"""]]
