ikiwiki 1.13 is released.

Upgrade notes:

The GlobList format which was used for specifiying sets of pages, has been replaced with a new, more expressive PageSpec format. While GlobLists will continue to work, that format is deprecated, and you are encouraged to use PageSpecs from now on, and also to change any GlobLists in your wiki to PageSpecs. See the new [[PageSpec]] page for details.

You will need to rebuild your wiki when upgrading 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 ikiiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

Changes:

  • ikiwiki can now download and aggregate feeds with its new aggregate plugin, so it's possible to implement a Planet using ikiwiki!
  • Add a run_hooks function for the common task of running all hooks of a given type.
  • Add a savestate hook.
  • Don't put blog post forms on pages if there's no cgiurl set.
  • --setup --refresh no longer rebuilds wrappers. Use --setup --refresh --wrappers to do that.
  • Add %IkiWiki::forcerebuild to provide a way for plugins like aggregate to update pages that haven't changed on disk.
  • Change meta tags to use html entity-escaped text for values, so that quotes and such can be represented in title tags.
  • Depend and build-depend on HTML::Parser for HTML::Entities which is used for the above.
  • Make --rebuild also cause --aggregate to re-download and write aggregated pages.
  • Avoid outputting duplicate meta info.
  • Include title metadata on aggregated posts for capitalised and un-munged titles.
  • Title metadata of inlined pages now shows up in blogs and rss feeds.
  • Fix issue with unicode filenames and updating the hyper estradier search index. (Aka Please Please Please, let that be the last one.)
  • Patch from Roland Mas to support an rss=no parameter to inline directives. Closes: #380743
  • Renamed GlobLists to PageSpecs.
  • PageSpecs can now include nested parens, "and", and "or". This remains backwards compatible to the old GlobList format. It's implemented by treating the GlobList as a very limited microlanguage that is transformed to perl code that does the matching.
  • The old GlobList format is deprecated, and I encourage users to switch to using the new PageSpec format. Compatability with the old format will be removed at some point, possibly by 2.0.
  • Wiki rebuild needed on upgrade to this version due to PageSpec change.
  • Add support for creation_month and creation_year to PageSpec. Closes: #380680
  • Changes to index file encoding.
