ikiwiki 1.4 released with these changes:

  • Tell HTML::Scrubber to treat "/" as a valid attribute which is its very strange way of enabling proper XHTML br type tags. Output html should be always valid again now.
  • The page name and parent links has switched from using a h1 to a styled span, so pages can use h1 internally instead of needing to use h2.
  • Updated all of ikiwiki's own wiki pages for that.
  • Add pagetemplate hook, which can be used by plugins that want to mess around with adding new stuff to the page template.
  • Remove headercontent; the search plugin now adds the search box to the header by registering a pagetemplate hook, and other plugins should do similarly.
  • Rebuilding on upgrade to this version is recommended.
  • Add a html validity check to the test suite, using the wdg-html-validator, if available.
  • Make the html valid when there is nothing in the actions list.
  • Reordered some function call parameters for consistency.
  • Enable full utf-8 support for page input and output.
  • Add a workaround for markdown, which does not work well with utf-8 strings.
  • --getctime had bitrotted (well I only ever used it the once so far..), fix and make it a bit more flexible
  • rcs_getctime is changed, now rather than needing to loop over all pages, it should just use the rcs to get the ctime of the passed file.
  • When inlining a page in another one, links from the inlined page are now expanded the same as they are when rendering the inlined page as a standalone page. So rather than being expanded from the POV of the inlining page, they are expanded from the POV of the inlined page. For example, a link from blog/foo to "bar" will now link to blog/bar if it exists. Previously this needed to be a link explicitly to "blog/bar"; such links will also continue to work. (This was slightly complex to do as the link still has to be constructed relative to the inlining page.)
  • Make page edit textarea resize to fit browser window.
  • Add -refresh option to ikiwiki-mass-rebuild and use that on upgrades that do not need a full rebuild, in order to update any basewiki pages.
