ikiwiki now features support for [[Git]]!
ikiwiki 1.5 released with these changes:
* Add --timeformat config option to allow changing how dates are displayed.
Note that as a side effect, dates will now be displayed using the local
timezone, not as GMT.
* More security review.
* Patch from Dr. Zini to add link() and backlink() to globlists. This allows
for some handy stuff like:
- Using links as a kind of tag; creating blog pages that list all pages
containing a given tag/link or not containing some other tag.
- Subscribing to mail notifications whenever a change is made to a page
that is a backlink of page foo. Ie, "Please notify me of changes in all
pages that link to my home page in the wiki"
- Locking any pages that are linked to from a particular page, so that
lists of locks can be exposed in the wiki.
* Reorganised the doc wiki's todo/* pages, using a link/tag to flag
when a todo item is done, instead of the previous moving it to a different
subdir.
* Allow pagetemplate plugins to override *anything* in the template.
* Add a meta plugin, which allows specifying various metadata about pages,
like license and author. It also allows for inserting html link and meta
tags into html, overriding the title, and adding hidden WikiLinks, which
can be useful when using link-based globbing for page categorisation.
* Remove preprocessor directives from inlined pages.
* Allow simple preprocessor directive values to be specified w/o quotes.
* Add support for using git instead of subversion as the RCS backend,
tremendous thanks to Recai Oktaş for this.
* Doc updates for git.
* Fix absolute url munging in rss generation to support https, ftp, etc urls
not just http urls.
* Patch from Recai Oktaş to improve utf-8 support, it should now use proper
utf-8 for edit and other fields, and for recentchanges. There may still
be utf-8 issues with the preferences page though.

ikiwiki 1.8 released with these changes:
* Fix orphans plugin to not count a link to a nonexistant page as a reason
for a page not being an orphan.
* Support pinging services such as Technorati using XML-RPC to notify them
about changes to rss feeds.
* Parse svn log as xml for improved utf8 and security. Note that this makes
ikiwiki depend on XML::Simple. Patch by Faidon Liambotis.
* POSIX::strftime doesn't know about encodings and doesn't return a utf8
flagged string even if the locale causes it to generate utf8 output,
so make sure to let perl know it should be handled as utf8. Also,
the optimised version used for standard time formats won't work if the
user has changed locale, so drop it. Thanks, Faidon Liambotis.
* Fix re-encoding of the comments field to utf8 if a commit fails
due to a conflict. Thanks, Faidon Liambotis.
* Let svn know that commits have utf8 commit messages. Thanks, Faidon
Liambotis.
* Add insane double encode/decode to utf8 around call to markdown.
This works around a truely strange bug, which is apparently a bug in
perl, #376329. Also added a test case for it.
* Improve layout of edit page so formatting help link is always visible w/o
getting in the way of the preview.
* Centralised all calls to HTML::Template and force all the templates
to be read as utf8.
* Support pages with utf8 filenames. Patch by Faidon Liambotis.
* Introduce add\_plugins and disable\_plugins config options in setup files.
This allows adding or removing plugins w/o overriding the whole list of
default plugins, which makes it easier to upgrade when new default plugins
are added.
* Support htmlize plugins and make mdwn one such plugin, which is enabled by
default (of course!). Based on a patch by Faidon Liambotis.
* Add a html plugin, which can be used to write wikis in raw html,
if you'd ever want to do such a thing. Slightly tricky, since ikiwiki
defaults to not processing .html files, since w/o this plugin they would
be copied unsanitised. With this plugin, it will process and html
sanitise them, like any other page type.
* Rebuilding wrappers is necessary on upgrade to this version.
* Make ikiwiki --setup --refresh rebuild wrappers, so wrapper rebuild
will be automatically done on all upgrades.
* Don't send pings if the wiki is being rebuilt.
* Work around very innefficient behavior in File::Spec::abs2rel. Result
is a savings of 2 pointless fork/execs per link calculation, which
results in ~25% speedup of ikiwiki building its own doc wiki, and
about 35% speedup displaying RecentChanges!
* Make RecentChanges use a table and some CSS, should be much more readable.
No code changes involved.
* Encode & in diffurl in examples, to conform to pedantic rules.
* Speed up RecentChanges by another 40% or so with some memoization.
* Memoize abs2rel, which is still kinda slow, for another 30% speedup
in time to build the doc wiki.
