- There is a significant change to the page.tmpl template in this version.
- If you have locally modified versions of that template, you will need
- to update it to contain the following in the HTML <head>:
- <TMPL_IF DYNAMIC>
- <TMPL_IF FORCEBASEURL><base href="<TMPL_VAR FORCEBASEURL>" /><TMPL_ELSE>
- <TMPL_IF BASEURL><base href="<TMPL_VAR BASEURL>" /></TMPL_IF>

- This version of ikiwiki has a lot of changes that you need to know about.
- Now you can include customised versions of templates in the source
- of your wiki. (For example, templates/page.tmpl.) When these templates
- are changed, ikiwiki will automatically rebuild pages that use them.
- Allowing untrusted users to upload attachments with the ".tmpl"
- extension is not recommended, as that allows anyone to change
- a wiki's templates.
- The --getctime switch is renamed to --gettimes, and it also gets the
- file modification time. And it's a lot faster (when using git). But
- the really important change is, you don't have to remember to use this
- switch. Now ikiwiki will do it when it needs to.
- At last, the "tagged()" pagespec only matches tags, not regular wikilinks.
- If your wiki accidentially relied on the old, buggy behavior, you might
- need to change its pagespecs to use "link()".
- Many of your wishes have been answered: Now tag pages can automatically be
- created when new tags are used. This feature is enabled by default if you
- have configured a tagbase. It can be turned on or off using the
- tag_autocreate setting.
- These changes may also affect some users:
- * The title_natural sort method (as used by the inline directive, etc)
- has been moved to the new sortnaturally plugin, which is not enabled
- by default since it requires the Sort::Naturally perl module.
- * The add_templates option has been removed from the underlay plugin.
- If you used this option, you can instead use templates/ subdirectories
- inside underlay directories added by the add_underlays option.
- Due to the above and other changes, 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.

- If your wiki uses git, and you have a `diffurl` configured in
- its setup file, you should be aware that gitweb has stopped
- supporting the url form commonly used for the `diffurl`.
- You can change your setup to use the newer gitweb url form:
- 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]]
- The changes from the old form are the addition of the `hpb` parameter,
- and the change to the value used for the `hb` parameter.

- TexImg standard preamble changed
- The teximg plugin now has a configurable LaTeX preamble.
- As part of this change the `mchem` LaTeX package has been removed from
- the default LaTeX preamble as it wasn't included in many TeX installations.
- The previous behaviour can be restored by adding the following to your
- ikiwiki setup:
- teximg_prefix => '\documentclass{scrartcl}
- \usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
- \usepackage{amsmath}
- \usepackage{amsfonts}
- \usepackage{amssymb}
- \pagestyle{empty}
- \begin{document}',
- In addition, the rendering mechanism has been changed to use `dvipng` by
- default, if available.

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

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

- If you allowed password based logins to your wiki, those passwords were
- stored in cleartext in the userdb. To guard against exposing users'
- passwords, I recommend you install the Authen::Passphrase perl module, and

- existing cleartext passwords with strong (blowfish) hashes.

- There were some significant template changes in ikiwiki 2.42 (and 1.33.5).
- If you have locally modified versions of the templates, they need to be
- updated. Most notably, the editpage.tmpl has a new FIELD-SID added to it,
- without which web editing will fail.

- ikiwiki (2.40) unstable; urgency=low
- ikiwiki now has an new syntax for preprocessor directives, using the
- prefix '!':
- [[!directive ...]]
- This new syntax no longer relies on spaces to distinguish between
- wikilinks and preprocessor directives. 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.
- 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 (2.30) unstable; urgency=low
- Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the
- spirit of a wiki compiler? 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 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 "notify" field in setup files is no longer used, and
- silently ignored. You may want to remove it from your setup file.

- Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this
- release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog".
- Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily,
- and will be removed later.
- If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly
- cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass
- --refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that
- contain out of date calendars.

- ikiwiki (2.14) unstable; urgency=low
- This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading
- to the srcdir, and will refuse to use a srcdir specified by such a path.
- This was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially
- break (semi-)working wikis. If your wiki has a srcdir path containing a
- symlink, you should change it to use a path that does not.

- ikiwiki (2.9) unstable; urgency=low
- Since ikiwiki 2.0 was released, some limitiations have been added to what
- ikiwiki considers a WikiLink. In short, if there are any spaces in between
- the brackets, ikiwiki no longer considers it to be a WikiLink. If your wiki
- contains things meant to be WikiLinks that contain spaces, you will need to
- fix them, by replacing the spaces with underscores.
-
- WikiLink have always been documented to not contain spaces, but bugs in
- ikiwiki made it treat some text with spaces as WikiLinks. Most of these
- bugs were fixed in version 2.2, and a final bug was fixed in this 2.9
- release. These fixes are necessary to avoid ambiguity between
- WikiLinks and PreProcessorDirectives. Apologies for any inconvenience
- these bugs (and their fixes) may have caused.

- In this version the rst plugin allows raw html to be embedded in rst files.

- or edit your setup file to turn usedirs off:
- usedirs => 0,
- * OpenID logins are now enabled by default, if the Net::OpenID::Consumer

- by default. If you like, you can turn either OpenID or password logins
- off via the 'disable_plugins' setting.

- If your wiki is configured with a setup file, you should modify it to
- stop setting the "plugin" list directly, and instead add or remove plugins
- via the add_plugins and disable_plugins lines. For example, if you had:

- Change it to these lines, which disables the default htmlscrubber plugin
- and adds the two additional plugins:
- add_plugins => [qw{smiley search}],
- disable_plugins => [qw{htmlscrubber}],
- Making this change makes your ikiwiki setup file more future-proof since
- new default plugins will be automatically used.

- be changed to set rcs => "svn"; if your setup file sets svn => 0
- then change it to use rcs => "" to disable svn.
- The --hyperestraier switch is gone too. To enable searching, turn on the
- search plugin, by passing --plugin=search or through the plugin setting in
- the setup file.
- The --sanitize and --no-sanitize switches are also gone, replaced with the
- htmlscrubber plugin. This plugin is enabled by default, to disable it,
- use --disable-plugin=htmlscrubber, or modify the plugin setting in the
- setup file.
- Discussion pages are enabled by default, but if your wiki is configured
- with a setup file, you need to edit it to keep them enabled on upgrade
- to this version. Add a line reading:
- discussion => 1,
- You will need to rebuild your wiki when upgrading to this version.
