-News for ikiwiki 3.20100427:
+This version of ikiwiki has a lot of changes that you need to know about.
- This version of ikiwiki has a lot of changes that you need to know about.
- Now you can include customised versions of templates in the source
- of your wiki. (For example, templates/page.tmpl.) When these templates
- are changed, ikiwiki will automatically rebuild pages that use them.
- Allowing untrusted users to upload attachments with the ".tmpl"
- extension is not recommended, as that allows anyone to change
- a wiki's templates.
- The --getctime switch is renamed to --gettimes, and it also gets the
- file modification time. And it's a lot faster (when using git). But
- the really important change is, you don't have to remember to use this
- switch. Now ikiwiki will do it when it needs to.
- At last, the "tagged()" pagespec only matches tags, not regular wikilinks.
- If your wiki accidentially relied on the old, buggy behavior, you might
- need to change its pagespecs to use "link()".
- Many of your wishes have been answered: Now tag pages can automatically be
- created when new tags are used. This feature is enabled by default if you
- have configured a tagbase. It can be turned on or off using the
- tag\_autocreate setting.
- These changes may also affect some users:
- * The title\_natural sort method (as used by the inline directive, etc)
- has been moved to the new sortnaturally plugin, which is not enabled
- by default since it requires the Sort::Naturally perl module.
- * TMPL\_INCLUDE is no longer supported in any template used by ikiwiki.
- It used to be allowed in certian templates, but not in others.
- * The add\_templates option has been removed from the underlay plugin.
- If you used this option, you can instead use templates/ subdirectories
- inside underlay directories added by the add\_underlays option.
- Due to the above and other changes, 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.
