ikiwiki (2.40) unstable; urgency=low 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 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 16:26:47 -0800 ikiwiki (2.30) unstable; urgency=low Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the spirit of a wiki compiler? Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds. Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users. All wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild. With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system is its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed. The "svnrepo" and "notify" fields in setup files are no longer used, and silently ignored. You may want to remove them from your setup file. -- Joey Hess Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:18:31 -0500 ikiwiki (2.20) unstable; urgency=low The template plugin has begin to htmlize the variables passed to templates. This is normally what you want, but to get the old behavior and get at the raw value, you can use `` in a template. -- Joey Hess Sat, 08 Dec 2007 16:04:43 -0500 ikiwiki (2.16) unstable; urgency=low Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog". Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily, and will be removed later. If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass --refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that contain out of date calendars. -- Joey Hess Sat, 08 Dec 2007 16:04:43 -0500 ikiwiki (2.14) unstable; urgency=low This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading to the srcdir, and will refuse to use a srcdir specified by such a path. This was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially break (semi-)working wikis. If your wiki has a srcdir path containing a symlink, you should change it to use a path that does not. -- Joey Hess Mon, 26 Nov 2007 14:57:57 -0500 ikiwiki (2.9) unstable; urgency=low Since ikiwiki 2.0 was released, some limitiations have been added to what ikiwiki considers a WikiLink. In short, if there are any spaces in between the brackets, ikiwiki no longer considers it to be a WikiLink. If your wiki contains things meant to be WikiLinks that contain spaces, you will need to fix them, by replacing the spaces with underscores. WikiLink have always been documented to not contain spaces, but bugs in ikiwiki made it treat some text with spaces as WikiLinks. Most of these bugs were fixed in version 2.2, and a final bug was fixed in this 2.9 release. These fixes are necessary to avoid ambiguity between WikiLinks and PreProcessorDirectives. Apologies for any inconvenience these bugs (and their fixes) may have caused. -- Joey Hess Sat, 29 Sep 2007 14:37:18 -0400 ikiwiki (2.6) unstable; urgency=low In this version the rst plugin allows raw html to be embedded in rst files. As long as the htmlscrubber is enabled, this should be safe. If you are using the rst plugin without the htmlscrubber in a publically writable wiki, you should turn on the htmlscrubber. -- Joey Hess Sun, 29 Jul 2007 18:37:22 -0400 ikiwiki (2.5) unstable; urgency=low Due to some config changes in this version, wrappers need to be rebuilt on upgrade. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be one automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. -- Joey Hess Sun, 29 Jul 2007 17:54:40 -0400 ikiwiki (2.1) unstable; urgency=low Some wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version, due to changes to page templates and the style sheet. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild. -- Joey Hess Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:50:36 -0400 ikiwiki (2.00) unstable; urgency=low With the 2.0 release of ikiwiki, some major changes have been made to the default configuration: * The 'usedirs' setting is enabled by default. This *will* break all URLs to wikis that did not have 'usedirs' turned on before, unless you follow the procedure described at , or edit your setup file to turn usedirs off: usedirs => 0, * OpenID logins are now enabled by default, if the Net::OpenID::Consumer perl module is available. Password logins are also still enabled by default. If you like, you can turn either OpenID or password logins off via the 'disable_plugins' setting. -- Joey Hess Sun, 29 Apr 2007 19:00:43 -0400 ikiwiki (1.51) unstable; urgency=low Some wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version, due to changes to page layout and the style sheet. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild. -- Joey Hess Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:50:36 -0400 ikiwiki (1.50) unstable; urgency=low Permalinks and guids in rss and atom feeds for wikis using the usedirs options will change in this release. If you have already enabled usedirs, you may need to take steps to avoid flooding aggregators. -- Joey Hess Sat, 14 Apr 2007 16:08:46 -0400 ikiwiki (1.49) unstable; urgency=low Third-party plugins that use htmlpage() or abs2rel() to generate links may need changes to support the new "usedirs" option. -- Joey Hess Sun, 01 Apr 2007 16:20:09 -0400 ikiwiki (1.47) unstable; urgency=low Due to a security fix, wikis that have the htmlscrubber enabled can no longer use the meta plugin to insert html link and meta tags. Some special case methods have been added for safely including stylesheets, and for doing openid delegation. See the meta plugin docs for details. -- Joey Hess Wed, 21 Mar 2007 14:18:40 -0400 ikiwiki (1.45) unstable; urgency=low Wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild. -- Joey Hess Wed, 7 Mar 2007 23:02:52 -0500 ikiwiki (1.44) unstable; urgency=low The htmllink() function has changed slightly and plugins that use it may need to change how they call it. This function's first three parameters are unchanged, but additional options are now passed using named parameters. If you used htmllink with more than 3 parameters, you will need to change it. The plugin interface version has been increased to 1.02 to reflect this change. -- Joey Hess Mon, 19 Feb 2007 21:10:12 -0500 ikiwiki (1.42) unstable; urgency=low The anonok setting in config files has been removed. To enable httpauth support on your wiki, you should now enable the anonok plugin, instead. Third-party plugins that use pagespec_match() should be updated to pass the new third parameter (from) to that function. This is needed for the new relative glob matching to work. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Feb 2007 16:57:59 -0500 ikiwiki (1.34) unstable; urgency=low The httpauth setting in config files has been removed. To enable httpauth support on your wiki, you should now enable the httpauth plugin, instead. This release includes OpenID support that is enabled through the openid plugin. I recommend turning this on to make it easier for users to sign in to your wiki. -- Joey Hess Sun, 19 Nov 2006 20:53:05 -0500 ikiwiki (1.32) unstable; urgency=low There is a change to the plugin interface in this version. Any plugins that modify data in %links should pass scan => 1 when registering the hook that does so. -- Joey Hess Sat, 28 Oct 2006 00:13:12 -0400 ikiwiki (1.29) unstable; urgency=low Wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild. There is a change to the plugin interface in this version. Plugins that use %renderedfiles will need to be updated, as the hash's values are now arrays of rendered files. Plugins that cause a page to render additional files should use the new will_render function to register the files. -- Joey Hess Sun, 8 Oct 2006 17:27:56 -0400 ikiwiki (1.22) unstable; urgency=low Due to some changes in the CSS, wikis should be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild. If you have modified versions of ikiwiki's html templates, you will need to update your templates to link to the stylesheet file using "style.css" instead of the old method which used STYLEURL. There have also been some changes to the plugin interface: Any plugins that use santize, htmlize, or format hooks will need to be updated for this version of ikiwiki since these hooks have been changed to use named parameters. -- Joey Hess Tue, 22 Aug 2006 15:33:12 -0400 ikiwiki (1.13) unstable; urgency=low The GlobList format which was used for specifiying sets of pages, has been replaced with a new, more expressive PageSpec format. While GlobLists will continue to work, that format is deprecated, and you are encouraged to use PageSpecs from now on, and also to change any GlobLists in your wiki to PageSpecs. See the new PageSpec page for details. You will need to rebuild your wiki when upgrading to this version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild. -- Joey Hess Tue, 1 Aug 2006 18:29:51 -0400 ikiwiki (1.11) unstable; urgency=low Some changes to tags in this release, due to a new tag plugin. If you have been using the meta plugin to tag pages, you'll want to enable the tag plugin too, and change things like this: [[meta link="foobar"]] To this: [[tag foobar]] The new tags will appear at page footers, and are also easier to type. There have also been some changes to the plugin interface, particularly the interface of pagetemplate hooks has changed. See the changelog for details. -- Joey Hess Thu, 27 Jul 2006 17:03:09 -0400 ikiwiki (1.8) unstable; urgency=low If your wiki is configured with a setup file, you should modify it to stop setting the "plugin" list directly, and instead add or remove plugins via the add_plugins and disable_plugins lines. For example, if you had: plugin => [qw{inline smiley search}], Change it to these lines, which disables the default htmlscrubber plugin and adds the two additional plugins: add_plugins => [qw{smiley search}], disable_plugins => [qw{htmlscrubber}], Making this change makes your ikiwiki setup file more future-proof since new default plugins will be automatically used. You will need to rebuild your ikiwiki wrappers when upgrading to this version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiiki-mass-rebuild --refresh to force a refresh. -- Joey Hess Mon, 3 Jul 2006 16:59:29 -0400 ikiwiki (1.1) unstable; urgency=low There have been several configuration changes in this release of ikiwiki: The --svn and --no-svn switches are removed, instead you should use --rcs=svn or --no-rcs. ikiwiki setup files that set svn => 1 should be changed to set rcs => "svn"; if your setup file sets svn => 0 then change it to use rcs => "" to disable svn. The --hyperestraier switch is gone too. To enable searching, turn on the search plugin, by passing --plugin=search or through the plugin setting in the setup file. The --sanitize and --no-sanitize switches are also gone, replaced with the htmlscrubber plugin. This plugin is enabled by default, to disable it, use --disable-plugin=htmlscrubber, or modify the plugin setting in the setup file. Discussion pages are enabled by default, but if your wiki is configured with a setup file, you need to edit it to keep them enabled on upgrade to this version. Add a line reading: discussion => 1, You will need to rebuild your wiki when upgrading to this version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild. -- Joey Hess Tue, 2 May 2006 14:13:59 -0400
