  1. ikiwiki (3.1415926) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
  2. In order to fix a performance bug, all wikis need to be rebuilt on
  3. upgrade to this version. If you listed your wiki in
  4. /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the
  5. Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force
  6. a rebuild.

  9. The `ikiwiki-transition deduplinks` command introduced in the
  10. last release was buggy. If you followed the NEWS file instructions
  11. and ran it, you should run `ikiwiki -setup` to rebuild your wiki
  12. to fix the problem.

  14. ikiwiki (3.12) unstable; urgency=low
  15. You may want to run `ikiwiki-transition deduplinks your.setup`
  16. after upgrading to this version of ikiwiki. This command will
  17. optimise your wiki's saved state, removing duplicate information
  18. that can slow ikiwiki down.

  20. ikiwiki (3.01) unstable; urgency=low
  21. If your wiki uses git, and you have a `diffurl` configured in
  22. its setup file, you should be aware that gitweb has stopped
  23. supporting the url form commonly used for the `diffurl`.
  24. You can change your setup to use the newer gitweb url form:
  25. http://git.example.com/gitweb.cgi?p=wiki.git;a=blobdiff;f=[[file]];h=[[sha1_to]];hp=[[sha1_from]];hb=[[sha1_commit]];hpb=[[sha1_parent]]
  26. The changes from the old form are the addition of the `hpb` parameter,
  27. and the change to the value used for the `hb` parameter.

  29. ikiwiki (3.00) unstable; urgency=low
  30. The 3.0 release of ikiwiki changes several defaults and finishes
  31. some transitions. You will need to modify your wikis to work with
  32. ikiwiki 3.0. A document explaining the process is available
  33. in </usr/share/doc/ikiwiki/html/tips/upgrade_to_3.0.html>

  35. ikiwiki (2.62) unstable; urgency=low
  36. TexImg standard preamble changed
  37. The teximg plugin now has a configurable LaTeX preamble.
  38. As part of this change the `mchem` LaTeX package has been removed from
  39. the default LaTeX preamble as it wasn't included in many TeX installations.
  40. The previous behaviour can be restored by adding the following to your
  41. ikiwiki setup:
  42. teximg_prefix => '\documentclass{scrartcl}
  43. \usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
  44. \usepackage{amsmath}
  45. \usepackage{amsfonts}
  46. \usepackage{amssymb}
  47. \pagestyle{empty}
  48. \begin{document}',
  49. In addition, the rendering mechanism has been changed to use `dvipng` by
  50. default, if available.

  52. ikiwiki (2.60) unstable; urgency=low
  53. Admin preferences are moving from the web interface to the setup file.
  54. There are three new options in the setup file: `locked_pages`, `banned_users`,
  55. and `allowed_attachments`. The admin prefs page can still be used, but
  56. that's deprecated, and the prefs will be hidden if a value is not already
  57. set. If a value is set in the web interface, you're encouraged to move that
  58. setting to your setup file now, since version 3.0 will remove the deprecated
  59. admin prefs web interface.
  60. Also, the layout of the setup file has changed in a significant way in this
  61. release. Old setup files will continue to work, but new features, like the
  62. new websetup interface, require a new format setup file. You can convert
  63. old setup files into the new format by running
  64. `ikiwiki-transition setupformat ikiwiki.setup`

  67. All wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your

  69. Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

  71. ikiwiki (2.49) unstable; urgency=low
  72. The search plugin no longer uses hyperestraier. Instead, to use it you
  73. will now need to install xapian-omega, and the Search::Xapian,
  74. HTML::Scrubber, and Digest::SHA1 perl modules. Ie,
  75. `apt-get install xapian-omega libsearch-xapian-perl libhtml-scrubber-perl libdigest-sha1-perl`
  76. Also, wikis that use the search plugin will need to be rebuilt,
  77. since the search form has changed. This will not be done automatically,
  78. but can be done by running `ikiwiki-mass-upgrade` as root, or
  79. running `ikiwiki -setup` on individual setup files.

  81. ikiwiki (2.48) unstable; urgency=high
  82. If you allowed password based logins to your wiki, those passwords were
  83. stored in cleartext in the userdb. To guard against exposing users'
  84. passwords, I recommend you install the Authen::Passphrase perl module, and
  85. then run `ikiwiki-transition hashpassword /path/to/srcdir` to replace all
  86. existing cleartext passwords with strong (blowfish) hashes.

  88. ikiwiki (2.46) unstable; urgency=low
  89. There were some significant template changes in ikiwiki 2.42 (and 1.33.5).
  90. If you have locally modified versions of the templates, they need to be
  91. updated. Most notably, the editpage.tmpl has a new FIELD-SID added to it,
  92. without which web editing will fail.
  93. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 06 May 2008 14:30:14 -0400
  94. ikiwiki (2.40) unstable; urgency=low
  95. ikiwiki now has an new syntax for preprocessor directives, using the
  96. prefix '!':
  97. [[!directive ...]]
  98. This new syntax no longer relies on spaces to distinguish between
  99. wikilinks and preprocessor directives. Thus, wikilinks can use spaces
  100. in their link text, and preprocessor directives without arguments (such
  101. as "toc") need not use a trailing space.
  102. To enable the new syntax, set prefix_directives to true in your ikiwiki
  103. config. For backward compatibility with existing wikis,
  104. prefix_directives currently defaults to false. In ikiwiki 3.0,
  105. prefix_directives will default to true, and wikis which have not yet
  106. converted to the new syntax will need to set prefix_directives to false
  107. in their setup files.
  108. To convert your wiki to the new syntax, ikiwiki provides a new script
  109. ikiwiki-transition.
  110. Even with prefix_directives disabled, ikiwiki now allows an optional '!'
  111. prefix on preprocessor directives (but still requires a space). Thus, a
  112. directive which uses a '!' prefix and contains a space will work with
  113. ikiwiki 2.40 and newer, regardless of the value of prefix_directives.
  114. This allows the underlay to work with all ikiwikis.

  116. ikiwiki (2.30) unstable; urgency=low
  117. Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the
  118. spirit of a wiki compiler? Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is
  119. now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds.
  120. Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes
  121. to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users.
  122. All wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your
  123. wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the
  124. Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
  125. With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system
  126. is its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for
  127. various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED
  128. from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be
  129. able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed.
  130. The "notify" field in setup files is no longer used, and
  131. silently ignored. You may want to remove it from your setup file.
  132. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:18:31 -0500
  133. ikiwiki (2.20) unstable; urgency=low
  134. The template plugin has begin to htmlize the variables passed to templates.
  135. This is normally what you want, but to get the old behavior and get at the
  136. raw value, you can use `<TMPL_VAR raw_variable>` in a template.
  137. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 08 Dec 2007 16:04:43 -0500
  138. ikiwiki (2.16) unstable; urgency=low
  139. Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this
  140. release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog".
  141. Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily,
  142. and will be removed later.
  143. If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly
  144. cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass
  145. --refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that
  146. contain out of date calendars.
  147. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 08 Dec 2007 16:04:43 -0500
  148. ikiwiki (2.14) unstable; urgency=low
  149. This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading
  150. to the srcdir, and will refuse to use a srcdir specified by such a path.
  151. This was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially
  152. break (semi-)working wikis. If your wiki has a srcdir path containing a
  153. symlink, you should change it to use a path that does not.
  154. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 26 Nov 2007 14:57:57 -0500
  155. ikiwiki (2.9) unstable; urgency=low
  156. Since ikiwiki 2.0 was released, some limitiations have been added to what
  157. ikiwiki considers a WikiLink. In short, if there are any spaces in between
  158. the brackets, ikiwiki no longer considers it to be a WikiLink. If your wiki
  159. contains things meant to be WikiLinks that contain spaces, you will need to
  160. fix them, by replacing the spaces with underscores.
  161. WikiLink have always been documented to not contain spaces, but bugs in
  162. ikiwiki made it treat some text with spaces as WikiLinks. Most of these
  163. bugs were fixed in version 2.2, and a final bug was fixed in this 2.9
  164. release. These fixes are necessary to avoid ambiguity between
  165. WikiLinks and PreProcessorDirectives. Apologies for any inconvenience
  166. these bugs (and their fixes) may have caused.
  167. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 29 Sep 2007 14:37:18 -0400
  168. ikiwiki (2.6) unstable; urgency=low
  169. In this version the rst plugin allows raw html to be embedded in rst files.
  170. As long as the htmlscrubber is enabled, this should be safe. If you are
  171. using the rst plugin without the htmlscrubber in a publically writable wiki,
  172. you should turn on the htmlscrubber.
  173. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 29 Jul 2007 18:37:22 -0400
  174. ikiwiki (2.5) unstable; urgency=low
  175. Due to some config changes in this version, wrappers need to be rebuilt on
  176. upgrade. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be
  177. one automatically when the Debian package is upgraded.
  178. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 29 Jul 2007 17:54:40 -0400
  179. ikiwiki (2.1) unstable; urgency=low
  180. Some wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version, due to changes to
  181. page templates and the style sheet. If you listed your wiki in
  182. /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian
  183. package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

  185. ikiwiki (2.00) unstable; urgency=low
  186. With the 2.0 release of ikiwiki, some major changes have been made to the
  187. default configuration:
  188. * The 'usedirs' setting is enabled by default. This *will* break all URLs
  189. to wikis that did not have 'usedirs' turned on before, unless you follow
  190. the procedure described at <http://ikiwiki.info/tips/switching_to_usedirs>,
  191. or edit your setup file to turn usedirs off:
  192. usedirs => 0,
  193. * OpenID logins are now enabled by default, if the Net::OpenID::Consumer
  194. perl module is available. Password logins are also still enabled
  195. by default. If you like, you can turn either OpenID or password logins
  196. off via the 'disable_plugins' setting.

  198. ikiwiki (1.51) unstable; urgency=low
  199. Some wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version, due to changes to
  200. page layout and the style sheet. If you listed your wiki in
  201. /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian
  202. package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

  204. ikiwiki (1.50) unstable; urgency=low
  205. Permalinks and guids in rss and atom feeds for wikis using the usedirs
  206. options will change in this release. If you have already enabled usedirs,
  207. you may need to take steps to avoid flooding aggregators.
  208. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 14 Apr 2007 16:08:46 -0400
  209. ikiwiki (1.49) unstable; urgency=low
  210. Third-party plugins that use htmlpage() or abs2rel() to generate links
  211. may need changes to support the new "usedirs" option.
  212. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 01 Apr 2007 16:20:09 -0400
  213. ikiwiki (1.47) unstable; urgency=low
  214. Due to a security fix, wikis that have the htmlscrubber enabled can no
  215. longer use the meta plugin to insert html link and meta tags.
  216. Some special case methods have been added for safely including stylesheets,
  217. and for doing openid delegation. See the meta plugin docs for details.

  224. ikiwiki (1.44) unstable; urgency=low
  225. The htmllink() function has changed slightly and plugins that use it may
  226. need to change how they call it. This function's first three parameters
  227. are unchanged, but additional options are now passed using named
  228. parameters. If you used htmllink with more than 3 parameters, you will
  229. need to change it. The plugin interface version has been increased to 1.02
  230. to reflect this change.

  232. ikiwiki (1.42) unstable; urgency=low
  233. The anonok setting in config files has been removed. To enable
  234. httpauth support on your wiki, you should now enable the anonok plugin,
  235. instead.
  236. Third-party plugins that use pagespec_match() should be updated to pass
  237. the new third parameter (from) to that function. This is needed for the
  238. new relative glob matching to work.
  239. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Feb 2007 16:57:59 -0500
  240. ikiwiki (1.34) unstable; urgency=low
  241. The httpauth setting in config files has been removed. To enable
  242. httpauth support on your wiki, you should now enable the httpauth plugin,
  243. instead.
  244. This release includes OpenID support that is enabled through the openid
  245. plugin. I recommend turning this on to make it easier for users to sign
  246. in to your wiki.

  256. package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
  257. There is a change to the plugin interface in this version. Plugins that use
  258. %renderedfiles will need to be updated, as the hash's values are now arrays
  259. of rendered files. Plugins that cause a page to render additional files
  260. should use the new will_render function to register the files.

  262. ikiwiki (1.22) unstable; urgency=low
  263. Due to some changes in the CSS, wikis should be rebuilt on upgrade to this
  264. version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done
  265. automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild
  266. to force a rebuild.
  267. If you have modified versions of ikiwiki's html templates, you will need
  268. to update your templates to link to the stylesheet file using
  269. "<TMPL_VAR BASEURL>style.css" instead of the old method which used
  270. STYLEURL.
  271. There have also been some changes to the plugin interface:
  272. Any plugins that use santize, htmlize, or format hooks will need to be
  273. updated for this version of ikiwiki since these hooks have been changed
  274. to use named parameters.

  277. The GlobList format which was used for specifiying sets of pages, has been
  278. replaced with a new, more expressive PageSpec format. While GlobLists will
  279. continue to work, that format is deprecated, and you are encouraged to use
  280. PageSpecs from now on, and also to change any GlobLists in your wiki to
  281. PageSpecs. See the new PageSpec page for details.
  282. You will need to rebuild your wiki when upgrading to this version. If you

  287. ikiwiki (1.11) unstable; urgency=low
  288. Some changes to tags in this release, due to a new tag plugin. If you have
  289. been using the meta plugin to tag pages, you'll want to enable the tag
  290. plugin too, and change things like this:
  291. [[meta link="foobar"]]
  292. To this:
  293. [[tag foobar]]
  294. The new tags will appear at page footers, and are also easier to type.
  295. There have also been some changes to the plugin interface, particularly the
  296. interface of pagetemplate hooks has changed. See the changelog for details.

  299. If your wiki is configured with a setup file, you should modify it to
  300. stop setting the "plugin" list directly, and instead add or remove plugins
  301. via the add_plugins and disable_plugins lines. For example, if you had:
  302. plugin => [qw{inline smiley search}],
  303. Change it to these lines, which disables the default htmlscrubber plugin
  304. and adds the two additional plugins:
  305. add_plugins => [qw{smiley search}],
  306. disable_plugins => [qw{htmlscrubber}],
  307. Making this change makes your ikiwiki setup file more future-proof since
  308. new default plugins will be automatically used.
  309. You will need to rebuild your ikiwiki wrappers when upgrading to this
  310. version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be
  311. done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use
  312. ikiiki-mass-rebuild --refresh to force a refresh.

  314. ikiwiki (1.1) unstable; urgency=low
  315. There have been several configuration changes in this release of ikiwiki:
  316. The --svn and --no-svn switches are removed, instead you should use
  317. --rcs=svn or --no-rcs. ikiwiki setup files that set svn => 1 should
  318. be changed to set rcs => "svn"; if your setup file sets svn => 0
  319. then change it to use rcs => "" to disable svn.
  320. The --hyperestraier switch is gone too. To enable searching, turn on the
  321. search plugin, by passing --plugin=search or through the plugin setting in
  322. the setup file.
  323. The --sanitize and --no-sanitize switches are also gone, replaced with the
  324. htmlscrubber plugin. This plugin is enabled by default, to disable it,
  325. use --disable-plugin=htmlscrubber, or modify the plugin setting in the
  326. setup file.
  327. Discussion pages are enabled by default, but if your wiki is configured
  328. with a setup file, you need to edit it to keep them enabled on upgrade
  329. to this version. Add a line reading:
  330. discussion => 1,
  331. You will need to rebuild your wiki when upgrading to this version.
  332. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done
  333. automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use
  334. ikiiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
