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
* Support for additional revision control systems: [[rcs/bzr]],
[[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?]] and [[todo/do_not_make_links_backwards]])
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..)
* Remove support for old `.ikiwiki/comments_pending` and for
pending comments located in the srcdir, rather than transient underlay,
from comment plugin. That support makes comment moderation slow as
it has to check all the old locations.
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.

# future goals
2012-04-05 21:09:24 +02:00
* Conversion support for existing other wikis. See [[convert]].
* [[TODO]], [[bugs]], ...
