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

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

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

54 ikiwiki (2.40) unstable; urgency=low
56 ikiwiki now has an new syntax for preprocessor directives, using the
61 This new syntax no longer relies on spaces to distinguish between
62 wikilinks and preprocessor directives. Thus, wikilinks can use spaces
63 in their link text, and preprocessor directives without arguments (such
64 as "toc") need not use a trailing space.
66 To enable the new syntax, set prefix_directives to true in your ikiwiki
67 config. For backward compatibility with existing wikis,
68 prefix_directives currently defaults to false. In ikiwiki 3.0,
69 prefix_directives will default to true, and wikis which have not yet
70 converted to the new syntax will need to set prefix_directives to false
73 To convert your wiki to the new syntax, ikiwiki provides a new script
74 ikiwiki-transition. It will convert preprocessor directives in
75 all files given on the command line. To convert an entire wiki:
77 find wikidir/ -type f -name '*.mdwn' -print0 | xargs -0 ikiwiki-transition prefix_directives
79 Even with prefix_directives disabled, ikiwiki now allows an optional '!'
80 prefix on preprocessor directives (but still requires a space). Thus, a
81 directive which uses a '!' prefix and contains a space will work with
82 ikiwiki 2.40 and newer, regardless of the value of prefix_directives.
83 This allows the underlay to work with all ikiwikis.

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

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

134 This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading
135 to the srcdir, and will refuse to use a srcdir specified by such a path.
136 This was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially
137 break (semi-)working wikis. If your wiki has a srcdir path containing a
138 symlink, you should change it to use a path that does not.

142 ikiwiki (2.9) unstable; urgency=low
144 Since ikiwiki 2.0 was released, some limitiations have been added to what
145 ikiwiki considers a WikiLink. In short, if there are any spaces in between
146 the brackets, ikiwiki no longer considers it to be a WikiLink. If your wiki
147 contains things meant to be WikiLinks that contain spaces, you will need to
148 fix them, by replacing the spaces with underscores.
150 WikiLink have always been documented to not contain spaces, but bugs in
151 ikiwiki made it treat some text with spaces as WikiLinks. Most of these
152 bugs were fixed in version 2.2, and a final bug was fixed in this 2.9
153 release. These fixes are necessary to avoid ambiguity between
154 WikiLinks and PreProcessorDirectives. Apologies for any inconvenience
155 these bugs (and their fixes) may have caused.

360 plugin => [qw{inline smiley search}],
