News for ikiwiki 1.49:

Third-party plugins that use htmlpage() or abs2rel() to generate links may need changes to support the new "usedirs" option.

ikiwiki 1.49 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]] [[toggleable text="""

  • [ Joey Hess ]
    • Add --post-commit option, which allows for the case of a split web server and RCS server (or a push mirror). With this the RCS server can have a real post-commit hook that sshs back to the web server, and runs ikiwiki in post-commit mode to update the wiki.
    • Fix urls generated by mirrorlist plugin.
    • Add a templates page to the basewiki. It will automatically list all available templates. Rename the old templates page to wikitemplates.
    • Include the note template in the basewiki.
    • Add a popup template in the basewiki. CSS based on some by Martin Krafft.
    • Make the note, popup, and plugin templates detect missing variables and be self-documenting, listing the available variables.
    • Hide excess backlinks and expand using CSS trick; control quantiy via the numbacklinks setting.
    • Finally apply the index.html patch, with thanks to everyone who worked on and supported creating it (especially Tuomov). This adds a "usedirs" option that makes ikiwiki use foo/index.html instead of foo.html as output page names. It is not yet enabled by default.
    • Fix a bug in the img plugin that caused thumbnailed files to not be tracked properly.
    • Make the OpenID library a reccommendation of the Debian package, rather than just a suggests, since OpenID is enabled by default.
    • Fix a bug that caused link(foo) to succeed if page foo did not exist.
    • Fix tags to page names that contain special characters.
  • [ Josh Triplett ]
    • Use pngcrush and optipng on all PNG files.
    • Add neutral smileys ":|" and ":-|", and question icon smiley "(?)", with images taken from phpBB (GPL) and converted with gif2png.
    • Improvements to Description in debian/control:
      • Note that some plugins have additional dependencies, found among the Recommends and Suggests.
      • ikiwiki supports both RSS and Atom feeds.
      • Fix typos.
    • Add Homepage field.
    • Add XS-Vcs-Browser field.
  • [ Joey Hess ]
    • Updated French translation from JLC. Closes: #417982
    • Reorder the icon in the template above the stylesheets, to avoid icon flashing during page load.
    • Fix smiley plugin to scan smileys.mdwn after it's updated, which fixes a bug caused by committing changes to smilies.mdwn.
    • Fix display of escaped wikilinks containing anchors.
  • [ Josh Triplett ]
    • Remove stray semicolon in linkmap.pm."""]]
