greatly expanding the capabilities of ikiwiki.

# 3.0
Version 3.0 is an opportunity to make significant transitions.
Read [[tips/upgrade_to_3.0]] for the steps you will need to
follow when upgrading your wiki to this version.
2008-01-28 20:56:15 +01:00
The highlights of the changes in version 3.0 include:
2008-12-23 22:52:46 +01:00
* Support for uploading [[attachments|plugins/attachment]].
* Can [[plugins/rename]] and [[plugins/remove]] pages and files via the web.
* [[Web_based_setup|plugins/websetup]].
2008-12-29 21:58:20 +01:00
* Blog-style [[plugins/comments]] as an alternative to Discussion pages.
* Many other new plugins including [[plugins/htmlbalance]], [[plugins/format]],
2008-12-23 22:52:46 +01:00
[[plugins/progress]], [[plugins/color]], [[plugins/autoindex]],
[[plugins/cutpaste]], [[plugins/hnb]], [[plugins/creole]], [[plugins/txt]],
[[plugins/amazon_s3]], [[plugins/pinger]], [[plugins/pingee]],
[[plugins/edittemplate]]
2008-12-25 01:55:43 +01:00
* The RecentChanges page is compiled statically, not generated from the CGI.
2008-12-23 22:52:46 +01:00

[[rcs/monotone]]
2008-12-31 21:33:10 +01:00
* Support for [[tips/untrusted_git_push]].
2008-12-23 22:52:46 +01:00
* A new version (3.00) of the plugin API, exporting additional
2008-12-31 21:43:14 +01:00
commonly used functions from `IkiWiki.pm`.
* Nearly everything in ikiwiki is now a plugin, from WikiLinks to page
editing, to RecentChanges.
2008-12-23 22:52:46 +01:00
* Far too many bug fixes, features, and enhancements to list here.
2008-09-09 22:13:58 +02:00
2008-12-29 21:58:20 +01:00
Released 31 December, 2008.
2008-09-09 22:13:58 +02:00
2008-12-23 22:20:37 +01:00
The 3.x series is expected to undergo continuing development for some time,
adding improvements and new features, but avoiding changes that break
backwards compatability.

# compatability breaking changes
Probably incomplete list:
* Drop old `--getctime` option.
* Remove compatability code in `loadindex` to handle old index data layouts.
* Make pagespecs match relative by default? (see [[discussion]])
* Flip wikilinks? (see [[todo/link_plugin_perhaps_too_general?]])
* YADA format setup files per default?
2010-04-22 06:42:53 +02:00
* Enable tagbase by default (so that tag autocreation will work by default).
Note that this is already done for wikis created by `auto-blog.setup`.
2010-05-02 23:16:15 +02:00
* [[tips/html5]] on by default (some day..)
2010-05-07 21:00:45 +02:00
* Remove support for old `.ikiwiki/comments_pending` from comment plugin.
2010-05-21 19:53:20 +02:00
* Use yaml formatted setup files by default. (Not too compatability breaking
really.)
In general, we try to use [[ikiwiki-transition]] or forced rebuilds on
upgrade to deal with changes that break compatability. Some things that
can't help with.
2007-04-30 01:19:25 +02:00
# future goals
* Conversion support for existing other wikis.
(Being worked on for MoinMoin and TWiki by [[Josh_Triplett|JoshTriplett]]
and Jamey Sharp; support for other wikis should fit into the same
framework.)
* [[TODO]], [[bugs]], ...
