Instead, use "meta openid" for openid links, and use tags + for in-wiki invisible links between pages. + 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 Just pass + --refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that + contain out of date calendars. + +ikiwiki 2.16 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]] +[[toggleable text=""" + * Major basewiki reorganisation. Most pages moved into ikiwiki/ subdirectory + to avoid polluting the main namespace, and some were further renamed. + * meta: Add redir support, based on a patch by Thomas Schwinge. + * Redirs added for moved basewiki pages. These will be removed in a future + release. + * Remove .otl file from sandbox to avoid build ugliness. Closes: #[454181](http://bugs.debian.org/454181) + * Finally implemented a simple per-page data storage mechanism for plugins, + via the %pagestate hash. + * Use pagestate in meta to detect potential redir loops. + * Added a version plugin that saves state about what's using it, to force + pages to rebuild when ikiwiki's version changes. + * The calendar plugin stores state about when it needs to be updated, + and forces rebuilds of the pages that contain calendars. So + running ikiwiki --refresh at midnight is now enough, no need for a full + wiki rebuild each midnight. + * calendar: Work around block html parsing bug in markdown 1.0.1 by + enclosing the calendar in an extra div. + * Fix file pruning code to work if ikiwiki is run with "." as the srcdir. + * Add an edittemplate plugin, allowing registering template pages, that + provide default content for new pages created using the web frontend. + * Change formbuilder hook to not be responsible for displaying a form, + so that more than one plugin can use this hook. + I believe this is a safe change, since only passwordauth uses this hook. + (If some other plugin already used it, it would have broken passwordauth!) + * Ensure that web edited pages always end in a newline. + * Avoid unnecessary stat calls to get mtime when rendering pages, use + cached value. + * Preserve input file modification times in output files. + * Allow dashes in preprocessor directive commands, and shortcuts. + * Htmlize parameters passed to the template preprocessor directive before + inserting them into the html template. This ensures that markdown + acts on them, even if the value is expanded inside a block-level html + element in the html template. Closes: #[454058](http://bugs.debian.org/454058) + * Use a div in the note template rather than a span. + * shortcut: Expand %S to the raw input text, not url-encoded. + * Don't increment feed numbers when an inline has no feeds. (Nis Martensen) + * Allow editing a page and deleting all content, while still disallowing + creating a new page that's entirely empty. + * meta: Drop support for "meta link", since supporting this for internal + links required meta to be run during scan, which complicated its data + storage, since it had to clear data stored during the scan pass to avoid + duplicating it during the normal preprocessing pass. + * If you used "meta link", you should switch to either "meta openid" (for + openid delegations), or tags (for internal, invisible links). I assume + that nobody really used "meta link" for external, non-openid links, since + the htmlscrubber ate those. (Tell me differently and I'll consider bringing + back that support.) + * meta: Improved data storage. + * meta: Drop the hackish filter hook that was used to clear + stored data before preprocessing, this hack was ugly, and broken (cf: + liw's disappearing openids). + * aggregate: Convert filter hook to a needsbuild hook. + * map: Don't inline images. + * brokenlinks: Don't list the same link multiple times. (%links might + contain multiple copies of the same link) + * git: Correct display of multiline commit messages in recentchanges. + * Re-organise dependencies and recommends now that recommends are installed + by default. + * Don't refuse to render files with ".." in their name. (Anchor the regexp.) + * Work around perl taint checking bug #411786, where perl sometimes randomly + sets the taint flag on untainted variables, by disabling taint checking + in the deb. This sucks."""]]
