-ikiwiki now features support for [[Git]]!
-
-ikiwiki 1.5 released with these changes:
-
- * Add --timeformat config option to allow changing how dates are displayed.
- Note that as a side effect, dates will now be displayed using the local
- timezone, not as GMT.
- * More security review.
- * Patch from Dr. Zini to add link() and backlink() to globlists. This allows
- for some handy stuff like:
- - Using links as a kind of tag; creating blog pages that list all pages
- containing a given tag/link or not containing some other tag.
- - Subscribing to mail notifications whenever a change is made to a page
- that is a backlink of page foo. Ie, "Please notify me of changes in all
- pages that link to my home page in the wiki"
- - Locking any pages that are linked to from a particular page, so that
- lists of locks can be exposed in the wiki.
- * Reorganised the doc wiki's todo/* pages, using a link/tag to flag
- when a todo item is done, instead of the previous moving it to a different
- subdir.
- * Allow pagetemplate plugins to override *anything* in the template.
- * Add a meta plugin, which allows specifying various metadata about pages,
- like license and author. It also allows for inserting html link and meta
- tags into html, overriding the title, and adding hidden WikiLinks, which
- can be useful when using link-based globbing for page categorisation.
- * Remove preprocessor directives from inlined pages.
- * Allow simple preprocessor directive values to be specified w/o quotes.
- * Add support for using git instead of subversion as the RCS backend,
- tremendous thanks to Recai Oktaş for this.
- * Doc updates for git.
- * Fix absolute url munging in rss generation to support https, ftp, etc urls
- not just http urls.
- * Patch from Recai Oktaş to improve utf-8 support, it should now use proper
- utf-8 for edit and other fields, and for recentchanges. There may still
- be utf-8 issues with the preferences page though. \ No newline at end of file

+ikiwiki 1.8 released with these changes:
+
+ * Fix orphans plugin to not count a link to a nonexistant page as a reason
+ for a page not being an orphan.
+ * Support pinging services such as Technorati using XML-RPC to notify them
+ about changes to rss feeds.
+ * Parse svn log as xml for improved utf8 and security. Note that this makes
+ ikiwiki depend on XML::Simple. Patch by Faidon Liambotis.
+ * POSIX::strftime doesn't know about encodings and doesn't return a utf8
+ flagged string even if the locale causes it to generate utf8 output,
+ so make sure to let perl know it should be handled as utf8. Also,
+ the optimised version used for standard time formats won't work if the
+ user has changed locale, so drop it. Thanks, Faidon Liambotis.
+ * Fix re-encoding of the comments field to utf8 if a commit fails
+ due to a conflict. Thanks, Faidon Liambotis.
+ * Let svn know that commits have utf8 commit messages. Thanks, Faidon
+ Liambotis.
+ * Add insane double encode/decode to utf8 around call to markdown.
+ This works around a truely strange bug, which is apparently a bug in
+ perl, #376329. Also added a test case for it.
+ * Improve layout of edit page so formatting help link is always visible w/o
+ getting in the way of the preview.
+ * Centralised all calls to HTML::Template and force all the templates
+ to be read as utf8.
+ * Support pages with utf8 filenames. Patch by Faidon Liambotis.
+ * Introduce add\_plugins and disable\_plugins config options in setup files.
+ This allows adding or removing plugins w/o overriding the whole list of
+ default plugins, which makes it easier to upgrade when new default plugins
+ are added.
+ * Support htmlize plugins and make mdwn one such plugin, which is enabled by
+ default (of course!). Based on a patch by Faidon Liambotis.
+ * Add a html plugin, which can be used to write wikis in raw html,
+ if you'd ever want to do such a thing. Slightly tricky, since ikiwiki
+ defaults to not processing .html files, since w/o this plugin they would
+ be copied unsanitised. With this plugin, it will process and html
+ sanitise them, like any other page type.
+ * Rebuilding wrappers is necessary on upgrade to this version.
+ * Make ikiwiki --setup --refresh rebuild wrappers, so wrapper rebuild
+ will be automatically done on all upgrades.
+ * Don't send pings if the wiki is being rebuilt.
+ * Work around very innefficient behavior in File::Spec::abs2rel. Result
+ is a savings of 2 pointless fork/execs per link calculation, which
+ results in ~25% speedup of ikiwiki building its own doc wiki, and
+ about 35% speedup displaying RecentChanges!
+ * Make RecentChanges use a table and some CSS, should be much more readable.
+ No code changes involved.
+ * Encode & in diffurl in examples, to conform to pedantic rules.
+ * Speed up RecentChanges by another 40% or so with some memoization.
+ * Memoize abs2rel, which is still kinda slow, for another 30% speedup
+ in time to build the doc wiki. \ No newline at end of file
