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 -- cgit v1.2.3
