Version 2.0 of ikiwiki is now available.
With the 2.0 release of ikiwiki, some major changes have been made to the
default configuration:
* The `usedirs` setting is enabled by default. This *will* break all URLs
to wikis that did not have `usedirs` turned on before, unless you follow
the procedure described at [[tips/switching_to_usedirs]]
or edit your setup file to turn `usedirs` off: `usedirs => 0,`
* [[plugins/OpenID]] logins are now enabled by default, if the
[[cpan Net::OpenID::Consumer]] perl module is available. Password logins
are also still enabled by default. If you like, you can turn either OpenID
or password logins off via the `disable_plugins` setting.
An overview of changes in the year since the 1.0 release:
* New improved URLs to pages via `usedirs`.
* [[plugins/OpenID]] support, enabled by default.
* Plugin [[interface|plugins/write]] added, with some 60 [[plugins]] available,
greatly expanding the capabilities of ikiwiki.
* [[Tags]], atom feeds, and generally full-fledged blogging support.
* Fully working [[todo/utf8]].
* Optimisations, approximately 3.5 times as fast as version 1.0.
* Improved scalability to large numbers of pages.
* Improved scalable [[logo]].
* Support for additional revision control systems besides svn: git,
tla, mercurial.
* Some support for other markup languages than markdown: rst, textile.
* Unit test suite, with more than 300 tests.

News for ikiwiki 2.1:
Some wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version, due to changes to
page templates and the style sheet. If you listed your wiki in
/etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian
package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

* [ Joey Hess ]
* Use div layout for the signin and preferences forms, so that they can be
styled using the stylesheet, rather than by creating signin and prefs
templates.
* Make the openid login form nicely styled.
* Fix a bug that prevented clearing email or subscriptions.
* Improve handling of edits of locked pages by users who are not yet signed
in.
* Make testpagespec more robust, including checking for missing/bad
parameters.
* Add all=no option to conditional, can be used to form conditionals that do
not need to examine every page in the wiki.
* Add the needsbuild hook. Plugins can use this to manipulate which files
ikiwiki builds when refreshing the wiki.
* [ Josh Triplett ]
* Add an account-creation password as a simple anti-spam mechanism. If
set in the wiki setup, passwordauth will require the password in
order to create an account.
* [ Joey Hess ]
* Updated Czech translation from Miroslav Kure.
* Apply patch from Pawel to avoid using -L in Makefile as it's not available
in older finds.
* Make all templates have a footer div to ease themeing. Required template
and style sheet updates, and unless you're using customised versions,
you'll want to rebuild wikis on upgrade to this version to avoid
inconsistencies.
* Allow WIKINAME to to used in footers, as an example of something to put
there.
* Patch from hb to fix the pagestats plugin, which was broken by a past
change to the backlinks() function.
* Fix some bugs in password handling:
- If the password is empty in preferences, don't clear the existing
password.
- Actually check the confirm password field, even if it's left empty.
* Add a destpage parameter to the filter hook.
* Fix links to smilies generated by the smiley plugin for inlined pages. The
old links were often wrong, but often still worked by accident.
* Add a test ensuring that the basewiki is self-contained and has no broken
links."""]]
