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 "notify" field in setup files is no longer used, and + silently ignored. You may want to remove it 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.
