  1. ikiwiki (3.20100427) unstable; urgency=low
  2. This version of ikiwiki has a lot of changes that you need to know about.
  3. Now you can include customised versions of templates in the source
  4. of your wiki. (For example, templates/page.tmpl.) When these templates
  5. are changed, ikiwiki will automatically rebuild pages that use them.
  6. Allowing untrusted users to upload attachments with the ".tmpl"
  7. extension is not recommended, as that allows anyone to change
  8. a wiki's templates.
  9. The --getctime switch is renamed to --gettimes, and it also gets the
  10. file modification time. And it's a lot faster (when using git). But
  11. the really important change is, you don't have to remember to use this
  12. switch. Now ikiwiki will do it when it needs to.
  13. At last, the "tagged()" pagespec only matches tags, not regular wikilinks.
  14. If your wiki accidentially relied on the old, buggy behavior, you might
  15. need to change its pagespecs to use "link()".
  16. Many of your wishes have been answered: Now tag pages can automatically be
  17. created when new tags are used. This feature is enabled by default if you
  18. have configured a tagbase. It can be turned on or off using the
  19. tag_autocreate setting.
  20. These changes may also affect some users:
  21. * The title_natural sort method (as used by the inline directive, etc)
  22. has been moved to the new sortnaturally plugin, which is not enabled
  23. by default since it requires the Sort::Naturally perl module.
  24. * The add_templates option has been removed from the underlay plugin.
  25. If you used this option, you can instead use templates/ subdirectories
  26. inside underlay directories added by the add_underlays option.
  27. Due to the above and other changes, all wikis need to be rebuilt on
  28. upgrade to this version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist
  29. this will be done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or
  30. use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

  32. ikiwiki (3.20091017) unstable; urgency=low
  33. To take advantage of significant performance improvements, all
  34. wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you
  35. listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done
  36. automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use
  37. ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

  40. In order to fix a performance bug, all wikis need to be rebuilt on
  41. upgrade to this version. If you listed your wiki in
  42. /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the
  43. Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force
  44. a rebuild.

  46. ikiwiki (3.13) unstable; urgency=low
  47. The `ikiwiki-transition deduplinks` command introduced in the
  48. last release was buggy. If you followed the NEWS file instructions
  49. and ran it, you should run `ikiwiki -setup` to rebuild your wiki
  50. to fix the problem.
  51. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 22 May 2009 13:04:02 -0400
  52. ikiwiki (3.12) unstable; urgency=low
  53. You may want to run `ikiwiki-transition deduplinks your.setup`
  54. after upgrading to this version of ikiwiki. This command will
  55. optimise your wiki's saved state, removing duplicate information
  56. that can slow ikiwiki down.
  57. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 06 May 2009 00:25:06 -0400
  58. ikiwiki (3.01) unstable; urgency=low
  59. If your wiki uses git, and you have a `diffurl` configured in
  60. its setup file, you should be aware that gitweb has stopped
  61. supporting the url form commonly used for the `diffurl`.
  62. You can change your setup to use the newer gitweb url form:
  63. 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]]
  64. The changes from the old form are the addition of the `hpb` parameter,
  65. and the change to the value used for the `hb` parameter.

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

  73. ikiwiki (2.62) unstable; urgency=low
  74. TexImg standard preamble changed
  75. The teximg plugin now has a configurable LaTeX preamble.
  76. As part of this change the `mchem` LaTeX package has been removed from
  77. the default LaTeX preamble as it wasn't included in many TeX installations.
  78. The previous behaviour can be restored by adding the following to your
  79. ikiwiki setup:
  80. teximg_prefix => '\documentclass{scrartcl}
  81. \usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
  82. \usepackage{amsmath}
  83. \usepackage{amsfonts}
  84. \usepackage{amssymb}
  85. \pagestyle{empty}
  86. \begin{document}',
  87. In addition, the rendering mechanism has been changed to use `dvipng` by
  88. default, if available.
  89. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 24 Aug 2008 15:00:40 -0400
  90. ikiwiki (2.60) unstable; urgency=low
  91. Admin preferences are moving from the web interface to the setup file.
  92. There are three new options in the setup file: `locked_pages`, `banned_users`,
  93. and `allowed_attachments`. The admin prefs page can still be used, but
  94. that's deprecated, and the prefs will be hidden if a value is not already
  95. set. If a value is set in the web interface, you're encouraged to move that
  96. setting to your setup file now, since version 3.0 will remove the deprecated
  97. admin prefs web interface.
  98. Also, the layout of the setup file has changed in a significant way in this
  99. release. Old setup files will continue to work, but new features, like the
  100. new websetup interface, require a new format setup file. You can convert
  101. old setup files into the new format by running
  102. `ikiwiki-transition setupformat ikiwiki.setup`

  105. All wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your
  106. wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the
  107. Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

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

  119. ikiwiki (2.48) unstable; urgency=high
  120. If you allowed password based logins to your wiki, those passwords were
  121. stored in cleartext in the userdb. To guard against exposing users'
  122. passwords, I recommend you install the Authen::Passphrase perl module, and
  123. then run `ikiwiki-transition hashpassword /path/to/srcdir` to replace all
  124. existing cleartext passwords with strong (blowfish) hashes.
  125. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 29 May 2008 14:39:34 -0400
  126. ikiwiki (2.46) unstable; urgency=low
  127. There were some significant template changes in ikiwiki 2.42 (and 1.33.5).
  128. If you have locally modified versions of the templates, they need to be
  129. updated. Most notably, the editpage.tmpl has a new FIELD-SID added to it,
  130. without which web editing will fail.
  131. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 06 May 2008 14:30:14 -0400
  132. ikiwiki (2.40) unstable; urgency=low
  133. ikiwiki now has an new syntax for preprocessor directives, using the
  134. prefix '!':
  135. [[!directive ...]]
  136. This new syntax no longer relies on spaces to distinguish between
  137. wikilinks and preprocessor directives. Thus, wikilinks can use spaces
  138. in their link text, and preprocessor directives without arguments (such
  139. as "toc") need not use a trailing space.
  140. To enable the new syntax, set prefix_directives to true in your ikiwiki
  141. config. For backward compatibility with existing wikis,
  142. prefix_directives currently defaults to false. In ikiwiki 3.0,
  143. prefix_directives will default to true, and wikis which have not yet
  144. converted to the new syntax will need to set prefix_directives to false
  145. in their setup files.
  146. To convert your wiki to the new syntax, ikiwiki provides a new script
  147. ikiwiki-transition.
  148. Even with prefix_directives disabled, ikiwiki now allows an optional '!'
  149. prefix on preprocessor directives (but still requires a space). Thus, a
  150. directive which uses a '!' prefix and contains a space will work with
  151. ikiwiki 2.40 and newer, regardless of the value of prefix_directives.
  152. This allows the underlay to work with all ikiwikis.

  154. ikiwiki (2.30) unstable; urgency=low
  155. Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the
  156. spirit of a wiki compiler? Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is
  157. now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds.
  158. Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes
  159. to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users.
  160. All wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your
  161. wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the
  162. Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
  163. With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system
  164. is its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for
  165. various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED
  166. from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be
  167. able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed.
  168. The "notify" field in setup files is no longer used, and
  169. silently ignored. You may want to remove it from your setup file.
  170. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:18:31 -0500
  171. ikiwiki (2.20) unstable; urgency=low
  172. The template plugin has begin to htmlize the variables passed to templates.
  173. This is normally what you want, but to get the old behavior and get at the
  174. raw value, you can use `<TMPL_VAR raw_variable>` in a template.
  175. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 08 Dec 2007 16:04:43 -0500
  176. ikiwiki (2.16) unstable; urgency=low
  177. Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this
  178. release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog".
  179. Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily,
  180. and will be removed later.
  181. If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly
  182. cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass
  183. --refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that
  184. contain out of date calendars.
  185. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 08 Dec 2007 16:04:43 -0500
  186. ikiwiki (2.14) unstable; urgency=low
  187. This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading
  188. to the srcdir, and will refuse to use a srcdir specified by such a path.
  189. This was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially
  190. break (semi-)working wikis. If your wiki has a srcdir path containing a
  191. symlink, you should change it to use a path that does not.
  192. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 26 Nov 2007 14:57:57 -0500
  193. ikiwiki (2.9) unstable; urgency=low
  194. Since ikiwiki 2.0 was released, some limitiations have been added to what
  195. ikiwiki considers a WikiLink. In short, if there are any spaces in between
  196. the brackets, ikiwiki no longer considers it to be a WikiLink. If your wiki
  197. contains things meant to be WikiLinks that contain spaces, you will need to
  198. fix them, by replacing the spaces with underscores.
  199. WikiLink have always been documented to not contain spaces, but bugs in
  200. ikiwiki made it treat some text with spaces as WikiLinks. Most of these
  201. bugs were fixed in version 2.2, and a final bug was fixed in this 2.9
  202. release. These fixes are necessary to avoid ambiguity between
  203. WikiLinks and PreProcessorDirectives. Apologies for any inconvenience
  204. these bugs (and their fixes) may have caused.
  205. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 29 Sep 2007 14:37:18 -0400
  206. ikiwiki (2.6) unstable; urgency=low
  207. In this version the rst plugin allows raw html to be embedded in rst files.
  208. As long as the htmlscrubber is enabled, this should be safe. If you are
  209. using the rst plugin without the htmlscrubber in a publically writable wiki,
  210. you should turn on the htmlscrubber.
  211. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 29 Jul 2007 18:37:22 -0400
  212. ikiwiki (2.5) unstable; urgency=low
  213. Due to some config changes in this version, wrappers need to be rebuilt on
  214. upgrade. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be
  215. one automatically when the Debian package is upgraded.
  216. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 29 Jul 2007 17:54:40 -0400
  217. ikiwiki (2.1) unstable; urgency=low
  218. Some wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version, due to changes to
  219. page templates and the style sheet. If you listed your wiki in
  220. /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian
  221. package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
  222. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:50:36 -0400
  223. ikiwiki (2.00) unstable; urgency=low
  224. With the 2.0 release of ikiwiki, some major changes have been made to the
  225. default configuration:
  226. * The 'usedirs' setting is enabled by default. This *will* break all URLs
  227. to wikis that did not have 'usedirs' turned on before, unless you follow
  228. the procedure described at <http://ikiwiki.info/tips/switching_to_usedirs>,
  229. or edit your setup file to turn usedirs off:
  230. usedirs => 0,
  231. * OpenID logins are now enabled by default, if the Net::OpenID::Consumer
  232. perl module is available. Password logins are also still enabled
  233. by default. If you like, you can turn either OpenID or password logins
  234. off via the 'disable_plugins' setting.
  235. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 29 Apr 2007 19:00:43 -0400
  236. ikiwiki (1.51) unstable; urgency=low
  237. Some wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version, due to changes to
  238. page layout and the style sheet. If you listed your wiki in
  239. /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian
  240. package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

  242. ikiwiki (1.50) unstable; urgency=low
  243. Permalinks and guids in rss and atom feeds for wikis using the usedirs
  244. options will change in this release. If you have already enabled usedirs,
  245. you may need to take steps to avoid flooding aggregators.
  246. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 14 Apr 2007 16:08:46 -0400
  247. ikiwiki (1.49) unstable; urgency=low
  248. Third-party plugins that use htmlpage() or abs2rel() to generate links
  249. may need changes to support the new "usedirs" option.
  250. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 01 Apr 2007 16:20:09 -0400
  251. ikiwiki (1.47) unstable; urgency=low
  252. Due to a security fix, wikis that have the htmlscrubber enabled can no
  253. longer use the meta plugin to insert html link and meta tags.
  254. Some special case methods have been added for safely including stylesheets,
  255. and for doing openid delegation. See the meta plugin docs for details.

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

  270. ikiwiki (1.42) unstable; urgency=low
  271. The anonok setting in config files has been removed. To enable
  272. httpauth support on your wiki, you should now enable the anonok plugin,
  273. instead.
  274. Third-party plugins that use pagespec_match() should be updated to pass
  275. the new third parameter (from) to that function. This is needed for the
  276. new relative glob matching to work.
  277. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Feb 2007 16:57:59 -0500
  278. ikiwiki (1.34) unstable; urgency=low
  279. The httpauth setting in config files has been removed. To enable
  280. httpauth support on your wiki, you should now enable the httpauth plugin,
  281. instead.
  282. This release includes OpenID support that is enabled through the openid
  283. plugin. I recommend turning this on to make it easier for users to sign
  284. in to your wiki.

  292. Wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your wiki
  293. in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian
  294. package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
  295. There is a change to the plugin interface in this version. Plugins that use
  296. %renderedfiles will need to be updated, as the hash's values are now arrays
  297. of rendered files. Plugins that cause a page to render additional files
  298. should use the new will_render function to register the files.

  300. ikiwiki (1.22) unstable; urgency=low
  301. Due to some changes in the CSS, wikis should be rebuilt on upgrade to this
  302. version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done
  303. automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild
  304. to force a rebuild.
  305. If you have modified versions of ikiwiki's html templates, you will need
  306. to update your templates to link to the stylesheet file using
  307. "<TMPL_VAR BASEURL>style.css" instead of the old method which used
  308. STYLEURL.
  309. There have also been some changes to the plugin interface:
  310. Any plugins that use santize, htmlize, or format hooks will need to be
  311. updated for this version of ikiwiki since these hooks have been changed
  312. to use named parameters.

  314. ikiwiki (1.13) unstable; urgency=low
  315. The GlobList format which was used for specifiying sets of pages, has been
  316. replaced with a new, more expressive PageSpec format. While GlobLists will
  317. continue to work, that format is deprecated, and you are encouraged to use
  318. PageSpecs from now on, and also to change any GlobLists in your wiki to
  319. PageSpecs. See the new PageSpec page for details.
  320. You will need to rebuild your wiki when upgrading to this version. If you
  321. listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically
  322. when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiiki-mass-rebuild to force a
  323. rebuild.

  325. ikiwiki (1.11) unstable; urgency=low
  326. Some changes to tags in this release, due to a new tag plugin. If you have
  327. been using the meta plugin to tag pages, you'll want to enable the tag
  328. plugin too, and change things like this:
  329. [[meta link="foobar"]]
  330. To this:
  331. [[tag foobar]]
  332. The new tags will appear at page footers, and are also easier to type.
  333. There have also been some changes to the plugin interface, particularly the
  334. interface of pagetemplate hooks has changed. See the changelog for details.

  336. ikiwiki (1.8) unstable; urgency=low
  337. If your wiki is configured with a setup file, you should modify it to
  338. stop setting the "plugin" list directly, and instead add or remove plugins
  339. via the add_plugins and disable_plugins lines. For example, if you had:
  340. plugin => [qw{inline smiley search}],
  341. Change it to these lines, which disables the default htmlscrubber plugin
  342. and adds the two additional plugins:
  343. add_plugins => [qw{smiley search}],
  344. disable_plugins => [qw{htmlscrubber}],
  345. Making this change makes your ikiwiki setup file more future-proof since
  346. new default plugins will be automatically used.
  347. You will need to rebuild your ikiwiki wrappers when upgrading to this
  348. version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be
  349. done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use
  350. ikiiki-mass-rebuild --refresh to force a refresh.

  352. ikiwiki (1.1) unstable; urgency=low
  353. There have been several configuration changes in this release of ikiwiki:
  354. The --svn and --no-svn switches are removed, instead you should use
  355. --rcs=svn or --no-rcs. ikiwiki setup files that set svn => 1 should
  356. be changed to set rcs => "svn"; if your setup file sets svn => 0
  357. then change it to use rcs => "" to disable svn.
  358. The --hyperestraier switch is gone too. To enable searching, turn on the
  359. search plugin, by passing --plugin=search or through the plugin setting in
  360. the setup file.
  361. The --sanitize and --no-sanitize switches are also gone, replaced with the
  362. htmlscrubber plugin. This plugin is enabled by default, to disable it,
  363. use --disable-plugin=htmlscrubber, or modify the plugin setting in the
  364. setup file.
  365. Discussion pages are enabled by default, but if your wiki is configured
  366. with a setup file, you need to edit it to keep them enabled on upgrade
  367. to this version. Add a line reading:
  368. discussion => 1,
  369. You will need to rebuild your wiki when upgrading to this version.
  370. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done
  371. automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use
  372. ikiiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
