1 ikiwiki (2.16) unstable; urgency=low
3 Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this
4 release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog".
5 Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily,
6 and will be removed later.
8 The meta plugin no longer supports setting internal or external links
9 with "meta link". Instead, use "meta openid" for openid links, and use tags
10 for in-wiki invisible links between pages.
12 If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly
13 cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass
14 --refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that
15 contain out of date calendars.

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

29 ikiwiki (2.9) unstable; urgency=low
31 Since ikiwiki 2.0 was released, some limitiations have been added to what
32 ikiwiki considers a WikiLink. In short, if there are any spaces in between
33 the brackets, ikiwiki no longer considers it to be a WikiLink. If your wiki
34 contains things meant to be WikiLinks that contain spaces, you will need to
35 fix them, by replacing the spaces with underscores.
37 WikiLink have always been documented to not contain spaces, but bugs in
38 ikiwiki made it treat some text with spaces as WikiLinks. Most of these
39 bugs were fixed in version 2.2, and a final bug was fixed in this 2.9
40 release. These fixes are necessary to avoid ambiguity between
41 WikiLinks and PreProcessorDirectives. Apologies for any inconvenience
42 these bugs (and their fixes) may have caused.

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

72 ikiwiki (2.00) unstable; urgency=low
74 With the 2.0 release of ikiwiki, some major changes have been made to the
75 default configuration:
77 * The 'usedirs' setting is enabled by default. This *will* break all URLs
78 to wikis that did not have 'usedirs' turned on before, unless you follow
79 the procedure described at <http://ikiwiki.info/tips/switching_to_usedirs>,
80 or edit your setup file to turn usedirs off:
83 * OpenID logins are now enabled by default, if the Net::OpenID::Consumer
84 perl module is available. Password logins are also still enabled
85 by default. If you like, you can turn either OpenID or password logins
86 off via the 'disable_plugins' setting.

116 Due to a security fix, wikis that have the htmlscrubber enabled can no
117 longer use the meta plugin to insert html link and meta tags.
119 Some special case methods have been added for safely including stylesheets,
120 and for doing openid delegation. See the meta plugin docs for details.

134 The htmllink() function has changed slightly and plugins that use it may
135 need to change how they call it. This function's first three parameters
136 are unchanged, but additional options are now passed using named
137 parameters. If you used htmllink with more than 3 parameters, you will
138 need to change it. The plugin interface version has been increased to 1.02
139 to reflect this change.

209 The GlobList format which was used for specifiying sets of pages, has been
210 replaced with a new, more expressive PageSpec format. While GlobLists will
211 continue to work, that format is deprecated, and you are encouraged to use
212 PageSpecs from now on, and also to change any GlobLists in your wiki to
213 PageSpecs. See the new PageSpec page for details.

226 plugin too, and change things like this:

243 If your wiki is configured with a setup file, you should modify it to
244 stop setting the "plugin" list directly, and instead add or remove plugins
245 via the add_plugins and disable_plugins lines. For example, if you had:
247 plugin => [qw{inline smiley search}],
249 Change it to these lines, which disables the default htmlscrubber plugin
250 and adds the two additional plugins:
252 add_plugins => [qw{smiley search}],
253 disable_plugins => [qw{htmlscrubber}],
255 Making this change makes your ikiwiki setup file more future-proof since
256 new default plugins will be automatically used.
258 You will need to rebuild your ikiwiki wrappers when upgrading to this
259 version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be

271 be changed to set rcs => "svn"; if your setup file sets svn => 0
272 then change it to use rcs => "" to disable svn.
274 The --hyperestraier switch is gone too. To enable searching, turn on the
275 search plugin, by passing --plugin=search or through the plugin setting in
278 The --sanitize and --no-sanitize switches are also gone, replaced with the
279 htmlscrubber plugin. This plugin is enabled by default, to disable it,
