Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is + now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds. + Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes + to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users. + 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. + With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system + is showing its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for + various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED + from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be + able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed. + The "svnrepo" and "notify" fields in setup files are no longer used, and + silently ignored. You may want to remove them from your setup file. + +ikiwiki 2.30 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]] +[[toggleable text=""" + * [ Joey Hess ] + * Old versions of git-init don't support --git-dir or GIT\_DIR with + --bare. Change ikiwiki-makerepo to use a method that should work with + those older versions too. + * aggregate: Don't let feeds set creation times for pages in the future. + * Add full parser for git diff-tree output (Brian Downing) + * aggregate: Fork a child process to handle the aggregation. This simplifies + the code, since that process can change internal state as needed, and + it will automatically be cleaned up for the parent process, which proceeds + to render the changes. + * [ Josh Triplett ] + * Add trailing comma to commented-out umask in sample ikiwiki.setup, so + that uncommenting it does not break the setup file. + * [ Joey Hess ] + * inline: The template can check for FIRST and LAST, which will be + set for the first and last inlined page. Useful for templates that build + tables and the like. + * prettydate,ddate: Don't ignore time formats passed to displaytime + function. + * Pages with extensions starting with "\_" are internal-use, and will + not be rendered or web-edited, or matched by normal pagespecs. + * Add "internal()" pagespec that matches internal-use pages. + * RecentChanges is now a static html page, that's updated whenever a commit + is made to the wiki. It's built as a blog using inline, so it can have + an rss feed that users can subscribe to. + * Removed support for sending commit notification mails. Along with it went + the svnrepo and notify settings, though both will be ignored if left in + setup files. Also gone with it is the "user()" pagespec. + * Add refresh hook. + * meta: Add pagespec functions to match against title, author, authorurl, + license, and copyright. This can be used to create custom RecentChanges. + * meta: To support the pagespec functions, metadata about pages has to be + retained as pagestate. + * Fix encoding bug when pagestate values contained spaces. + * Add support for bzr, written by Jelmer Vernooij. Thanks also to bma for + his independent work on bzr support. + * Copyright file updates."""]] \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
