Thus, wikilinks can use spaces + in their link text, and preprocessor directives without arguments (such + as "toc") need not use a trailing space. + To enable the new syntax, set prefix\_directives to true in your ikiwiki + config. For backward compatibility with existing wikis, + prefix\_directives currently defaults to false. In ikiwiki 3.0, + prefix\_directives will default to true, and wikis which have not yet + converted to the new syntax will need to set prefix\_directives to false + in their setup files. + To convert your wiki to the new syntax, ikiwiki provides a new script + ikiwiki-transition. It will convert preprocessor directives in + all files given on the command line. To convert an entire wiki: + find wikidir/ -type f -name '*.mdwn' -print0 | xargs -0 ikiwiki-transition prefix\_directives + Even with prefix\_directives disabled, ikiwiki now allows an optional '!' + prefix on preprocessor directives (but still requires a space). Thus, a + directive which uses a '!' prefix and contains a space will work with + ikiwiki 2.40 and newer, regardless of the value of prefix\_directives. + This allows the underlay to work with all ikiwikis. + +ikiwiki 2.40 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]] +[[toggleable text=""" + * [ Josh Triplett ] + * Add new preprocessor directive syntax¸ using a '!' prefix. Add a + prefix\_directives option to the setup file to turn this syntax on; + currently defaults to false, for backward compatibility. Support + optional '!' prefix even with prefix\_directives off, and use that in + the underlay to support either setting of prefix\_directives. Add NEWS + entry with migration information. + * [ Joey Hess ] + * Danish translation update from Jonas Smedegaard. Closes: #[465152](http://bugs.debian.org/465152) + * Generate XML RPC messages with the encoding set to utf-8 instead + of XML::RPC's default of us-ascii. Allows interoperation with + python's xmlrpc library, which threw invalid encoding exceptions and + caused the rst plugin to hang. + * Add the linkify and scan hooks. These hooks can be used to implement + custom, first-class types of wikilinks. + * Move standard wikilink implementation to a new link plugin, which + will of course be enabled by default. + * camelcase: Convert to use new linkify and scan hooks rather than the old + hack. + * Setting NOTAINT=1 had no effect when building ikiwiki itself, fix this. + * Depend on HTML::Scrubber, since the scrubber is enabled by default and + dies if its can't be loaded. + * The search plugin needs to override <base> to point to the directory + containing ikiwiki.cgi, but this should not change the urls to the style + sheets etc. Add a new forcebareurl parameter to misctemplate to allow + it to do that. + * Preview limits the page dropdown to what's selected previously + (as preserving the full list across preview would be tricky). Userdirs + were still being offered as an option there, remove them. + * Fix a bug where user A created a page concurrently with user B, and + when B previewed it would redirect B to A's new page, losing B's work. + Instead, don't redirect and let conflict handling resolve it. + * monotone: Add code to default mergerc file to run + \_MTN/ikiwiki-netsync-hook when a commit is merged in from the net. + * tla: Remove call to escapeHTML when constructing recentchanges message; + the html is escaped at a different level. Closes: #[466495](http://bugs.debian.org/466495) + * bzr, mercurial: Remove unused import of escapeHTML. + * Fix another preview will\_render bug. This one involved inline, + which forced a scan of the page to make available metadata that + appeared after the inline directive. Problem is that scan made it forget + about any other files rendered due to the page. The scan also turns out + to be unnecessary now, since meta persistently stores state and it's + always available. So it was just removed. + * Disable taint checking for all builds as people keep complaining about it, + and since all versions of perl seem to be hopelessly broken. + * Fix links generated by preprocessor directives when previewing. + * inline: When forcing urls absolute for rss feeds, skip mailto and other + such urls. + * ikiwiki-makerepo: Don't fail if the third argument ends in a slash. + * Allow colons in URLs after the first slash.
