Ikiwiki has reached version 2.0 and entered a new phase in its [[development_cycle|roadmap]].

With the 2.0 release of ikiwiki, some major changes have been made to the default configuration:

  • The usedirs setting is enabled by default. This will break all URLs to wikis that did not have usedirs turned on before, unless you follow the procedure described at [[tips/switching_to_usedirs]] or edit your setup file to turn usedirs off: usedirs => 0,
  • [[plugins/OpenID]] logins are now enabled by default, if the [[cpan Net::OpenID::Consumer]] perl module is available. Password logins are also still enabled by default. If you like, you can turn either OpenID or password logins off via the disable_plugins setting.

An overview of changes in the year since the 1.0 release:

  • New improved URLs to pages via usedirs.
  • [[plugins/OpenID]] support, enabled by default.
  • Plugin [[interface|plugins/write]] added, with some 60 [[plugins]] available, greatly expanding the capabilities of ikiwiki.
  • [[Tags]], atom feeds, and generally full-fledged blogging support.
  • Fully working [[todo/utf8]].
  • Optimisations, approximately 3.5 times as fast as version 1.0.
  • Improved scalability to large numbers of pages.
  • Improved scalable [[logo]].
  • Support for additional revision control systems besides svn: git, tla, mercurial.
  • Some support for other markup languages than markdown: rst, textile.
  • Unit test suite, with more than 300 tests.
