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.

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.
