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

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

20 ikiwiki (2.40) unstable; urgency=low
22 ikiwiki now has an new syntax for preprocessor directives, using the
27 This new syntax no longer relies on spaces to distinguish between
28 wikilinks and preprocessor directives. Thus, wikilinks can use spaces
29 in their link text, and preprocessor directives without arguments (such
30 as "toc") need not use a trailing space.
32 To enable the new syntax, set prefix_directives to true in your ikiwiki
33 config. For backward compatibility with existing wikis,
34 prefix_directives currently defaults to false. In ikiwiki 3.0,
35 prefix_directives will default to true, and wikis which have not yet
36 converted to the new syntax will need to set prefix_directives to false
39 To convert your wiki to the new syntax, ikiwiki provides a new script
40 ikiwiki-transition. It will convert preprocessor directives in
41 all files given on the command line. To convert an entire wiki:
43 find wikidir/ -type f -name '*.mdwn' -print0 | xargs -0 ikiwiki-transition prefix_directives
45 Even with prefix_directives disabled, ikiwiki now allows an optional '!'
46 prefix on preprocessor directives (but still requires a space). Thus, a
47 directive which uses a '!' prefix and contains a space will work with
48 ikiwiki 2.40 and newer, regardless of the value of prefix_directives.
49 This allows the underlay to work with all ikiwikis.

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

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

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

108 ikiwiki (2.9) unstable; urgency=low
110 Since ikiwiki 2.0 was released, some limitiations have been added to what
111 ikiwiki considers a WikiLink. In short, if there are any spaces in between
112 the brackets, ikiwiki no longer considers it to be a WikiLink. If your wiki
113 contains things meant to be WikiLinks that contain spaces, you will need to
114 fix them, by replacing the spaces with underscores.
116 WikiLink have always been documented to not contain spaces, but bugs in
117 ikiwiki made it treat some text with spaces as WikiLinks. Most of these
118 bugs were fixed in version 2.2, and a final bug was fixed in this 2.9
119 release. These fixes are necessary to avoid ambiguity between
120 WikiLinks and PreProcessorDirectives. Apologies for any inconvenience
121 these bugs (and their fixes) may have caused.

154 default configuration:

157 to wikis that did not have 'usedirs' turned on before, unless you follow
158 the procedure described at <http://ikiwiki.info/tips/switching_to_usedirs>,

165 off via the 'disable_plugins' setting.

324 via the add_plugins and disable_plugins lines. For example, if you had:
326 plugin => [qw{inline smiley search}],

329 and adds the two additional plugins:
331 add_plugins => [qw{smiley search}],
