+
+ 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 2.21 and newer, regardless of the value of prefix_directives.
+ This allows the underlay to work with all ikiwikis.

+
+ 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.

ikiwiki (2.20) unstable; urgency=low
The template plugin has begin to htmlize the variables passed to templates.
[ Josh Triplett ]
* Add trailing comma to commented-out umask in sample ikiwiki.setup, so
that uncommenting it does not break the setup file.
+ * Add new preprocessor directive syntax¸ using a '!' prefix. Add a
+ prefix_directives option to the setup file to turn this syntax on;
+ currently defaults to false, for backward compatibility. Support
+ optional '!' prefix even with prefix_directives off, and use that in
+ the underlay to support either setting of prefix_directives. Add NEWS
+ entry with migration information.

+ * inline: The template can check for FIRST and LAST, which will be
+ set for the first and last inlined page. Useful for templates that build
+ tables and the like.
+ * prettydate,ddate: Don't ignore time formats passed to displaytime
+ function.
+ * Pages with extensions starting with "_" are internal-use, and will
+ not be rendered or web-edited, or matched by normal pagespecs.
+ * Add "internal()" pagespec that matches internal-use pages.
+ * RecentChanges is now a static html page, that's updated whenever a commit
+ is made to the wiki. It's built as a blog using inline, so it can have
+ an rss feed that users can subscribe to.
+ * Removed support for sending commit notification mails. Along with it went
+ the svnrepo and notify settings, though both will be ignored if left in
+ setup files. Also gone with it is the "user()" pagespec.
+ * Add refresh hook.
+ * meta: Add pagespec functions to match against title, author, authorurl,
+ license, and copyright. This can be used to create custom RecentChanges.
+ * meta: To support the pagespec functions, metadata about pages has to be
+ retained as pagestate.
+ * Fix encoding bug when pagestate values contained spaces.
+ * Add support for bzr, written by Jelmer Vernooij. Thanks also to bma for
+ his independent work on bzr support.
+ * Copyright file updates.
