ikiwiki 1.1 is now released.
There have been several configuration changes in this release of ikiwiki:
* The --svn and --no-svn switches are removed, instead you should use
--rcs=svn or --no-rcs. ikiwiki setup files that set svn => 1 should
be changed to set rcs => "svn"; if your setup file sets svn => 0
then change it to use rcs => "" to disable svn.
* The --hyperestraier switch is gone too. To enable searching, turn on the
search plugin, by passing --plugin=search or through the plugin setting in
the setup file.
* The --sanitize and --no-sanitize switches are also gone, replaced with the
htmlscrubber plugin. This plugin is enabled by default, to disable it,
use --disable-plugin=htmlscrubber, or modify the plugin setting in the
setup file.
* Discussion pages are enabled by default, but if your wiki is configured
with a setup file, you need to edit it to keep them enabled on upgrade
to this version. Add a line reading:
discussion => 1,
You will need to rebuild your wiki when upgrading to this version.
If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done
automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use
ikiiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
Here's the full list of changes in ikiwiki 1.1:
* Rename inlinepage to depends, so that it can be used to refer to more
dependency relationships than just inlining. This will require a rebuild
on upgrade to this version.
* Move the rss link, put it in the blogpost form if there is one and at the
top if not. This is both nicer because easier to find, and it cleans up
the code which had used inlinepage as a flag for adding the link later.
* Allow the depends GlobList to be built up from multiple sources (such as
plugins) during a page render.
* Which means that more than one blog is now supported to appear on a
single page. (With some limitations, like only the last one getting an
rss file.)
* Added a plugin system.
* Added a pagecount plugin, enabled by default.
* Support PreProcessorDirectives with no parameters, ie "[[pagecount ]]".
* Fixed/optimised backlinks code, to avoid rebuilding pages to update
backlinks when the backlinks hadn't really changed.
* Moved inline page support, rss generation etc into the inline plugin,
enabled by default.
* Added brokenlinks plugin, not enabled by default, but rather handy.
* Fix several broken links in the doc wiki.
* Smarter behavior when creating a page and a page of the same name (but
different location) already exists.
* Add an orphans plugin for finding pages that nothing links to.
* Removed backlinks page, which it turns out nothing used.
* Split off an IkiWiki.pm out of ikiwiki and have all the other modules use
it, this will allow for adding a unit test suite.
* Add unit tests for several core functions, including globlist\_match,
dirname, basename, bestlink, linkify, pagetitle, titlepage.
* Smart globlist merging.
* Patch from Thomas Schwinge to switch from --svn to --rcs=svn, etc,
to pave the way for adding other RCS support. This also changes the
setup files, where before they had svn => 1 or svn => 0, now they have
rcs => "svn" or rcs => "".
* Add a debian/NEWS file with upgrade notes.
* Load whatever rcs module is specified, so new ones can be just dropped in
as plugins and work. (Well, in theory.)
* Add some basic docs about writing RCS modules.
* Broke search capability out into a plugin, removed the --hyperestraier
switch.
* Added smiley plugin, nicely controlled and documented by the smileys page.
* Copied in some smileys from Moin Moin.
* Allow links of the form \\[[some page|page]], with whitespace in the link
text.
* Removed --sanitize and --no-sanitize, replaced with --plugin htmlscrubber
and --disable-plugin htmlscrubber.
* Allow discussion links on pages to be turned off with --no-discussion.
* Add ikiwiki-mass-rebuild script, ripped out of the postinst.
* Add some new config items to the estseek.conf template, which are needed
by hyperestraier 1.2.3.

ikiwiki 1.4 released with these changes:
* Tell HTML::Scrubber to treat "/" as a valid attribute which is its
very strange way of enabling proper XHTML <br /> type tags. Output html
should be always valid again now.
* The page name and parent links has switched from using a <h1> to a styled
<span>, so pages can use <h1> internally instead of needing to use <h2>.
* Updated all of ikiwiki's own wiki pages for that.
* Add pagetemplate hook, which can be used by plugins that want to mess
around with adding new stuff to the page template.
* Remove headercontent; the search plugin now adds the search box to the
header by registering a pagetemplate hook, and other plugins should do
similarly.
* Rebuilding on upgrade to this version is recommended.
* Add a html validity check to the test suite, using the wdg-html-validator,
if available.
* Make the html valid when there is nothing in the actions list.
* Reordered some function call parameters for consistency.
* Enable full utf-8 support for page input and output.
* Add a workaround for markdown, which does not work well with utf-8
strings.
* --getctime had bitrotted (well I only ever used it the once so far..),
fix and make it a bit more flexible
* rcs\_getctime is changed, now rather than needing to loop over all pages,
it should just use the rcs to get the ctime of the passed file.
* When inlining a page in another one, links from the inlined page are now
expanded the same as they are when rendering the inlined page as a
standalone page. So rather than being expanded from the POV of the
inlining page, they are expanded from the POV of the inlined page.
For example, a link from blog/foo to "bar" will now link to blog/bar
if it exists. Previously this needed to be a link explicitly to
"blog/bar"; such links will also continue to work.
(This was slightly complex to do as the link still has to be constructed
relative to the inlining page.)
* Make page edit textarea resize to fit browser window.
* Add -refresh option to ikiwiki-mass-rebuild and use that on upgrades that
do not need a full rebuild, in order to update any basewiki pages.
