ikiwiki 2.10 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
[[toggleable text="""
* Tidy ctime debug output for git.
* French translation update. Closes: #[445923](http://bugs.debian.org/445923)
* Fix --get-ctime with git, needed to remove srcdir from filename.
* In the cgi edit path, reload the index file before rendering. A bug
showed up where a web edit that added a page caused a near-concurrent
web edit to fail in will\_render. While it would be hard to reproduce this,
my analysis is that the failing cgi started first, loaded the index file
(prior to locking) then the other cgi created the new page and rendered
it, and then the failing cgi choked on the new file when \_it\_ tried to
render it. Ensuring that the index file is loaded after taking the lock
will avoid this bug.
* Fix strange stderr-hiding code in the git module, allow error messages
to be passed on to stderr. Also fixes a potential bug, since git error
meesages were treated as if they came from git stdout.
* Add a "createlink" class attribute to the span for wikilinks pointing
to not-yet-existing pages. I don't have a useful style defined for that
though.
* Rewritten rst plugin by madduck is a python program that communicates with
ikiwiki via XML RPC. This should be much faster than the old plugin that
had to fork python for every rst page render. Note that if you use
the rst plugin, you now need to have the RPC::XML perl module installed.
* Danish translation from Jonas Smedegaard. Closes: #[446952](http://bugs.debian.org/446952)
* Support git authors of the form "joey <joey>", which is common when
importing from a svn repo."""]]

[[toggleable text="""
* Correct a pair of logic errors that triggered if svnpath was empty.
* If gitorigin\_branch is set to the empty string, don't push or pull.
Useful for laptop clones of remote wikis.
* Add a calendar plugin, contributed by Manoj Srivastava.
* Reformat calendar plugin to ikiwiki conventions.
* The calendar plugin made *every* page depend on every other page,
which seemed a wee tiny little bit overkill. Fixed the dependency
calculations (I hope.)
* Removed manual ctime statting code, and just have the calendar plugin use
%pagectime.
* Ikiwiki has moved into a git repository.
* postsparkline: Avoid a confusing error message if no pages match
and instead show an empty graph.
* Add handling of feeds for nested inlines, as well as support for a
single page containing two different feeds.
* Also fixed some places in inline that failed to use destpage correctly.
* ikiwiki-mass-rebuild: Patch from HenrikBrixAndersen to fix order
of permissions dropping code to work on FreeBSD.
* ikiwiki-mass-rebuild: Don't clear PATH from the environment.
* Run git-commit -q (though it doesn't do much good due to its stderr
abuse)."""]]

* [ Joey Hess ]
* Fix some issues with toggles in preview mode.
* Fix an aggregate plugin expiry bug. Over time, it's possible for the same
page name to be expired and reused for several distinct guids. When this
happened, the expiry code counted each past guid that had used that page
name as a currently existing page, and thus expired too many pages.
* Avoid a race in the git rcs\_commit function, by not assuming HEAD will
stay the same for the duration of the function.
* Avoid using commands like git-diff and instead use "git diff".
In some configurations, only the main git command is in the path.
* Improve the RecentChanges display for git merges, by passing -c instead
of -m to git-log, and by skipping display of commits that change no
pages.
* Don't truncate git commit messages to the first line in RecentChanges,
show the full message.
* map: Recent changes caused unnecessary ul's to be inserted for items
that were all at the same level, fix. Closes: #[449285](http://bugs.debian.org/449285)
* [ Josh Triplett ]
* Fix table plugin to not generate an unbalanced tbody tag with header=no
* Add xmlns attribute on html element in templates; pages can now
validate.
* [ Joey Hess ]
* In the example setup file, use mode 6755 for the git post-update hook.
It needs to be setgid if the master repo is a shared repository, so
that pushes into the working copy repository happen as the same group,
avoiding permissions problems.
* The first git commit legitimately has no parents. Avoid recentchanges
spewing uninitialised value warnings and debug messages about it.
Dummying up a parent of 0000000 allows gitweb to work too."""]]

This is a security fix release, upgrade is recommended.
News for ikiwiki 2.14:
This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading
to the srcdir, and will refuse to use a srcdir specified by such a path.
This was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially
break (semi-)working wikis. If your wiki has a srcdir path containing a
symlink, you should change it to use a path that does not.
ikiwiki 2.14 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
[[toggleable text="""
* Let CC be used to control what compiler is used to build wrappers.
* Use 'cc' instead of gcc as the default compiler.
* Security fix: Ensure that there are no symlinks anywhere in the path
to the top of the srcdir. In certian unusual configurations, an attacker
who could commit to one of the parent directories of the srcdir could
use a symlink attack to cause ikiwiki to publish files elsewhere in the
filesystem. More details [[here|security#index29h2]]

News for ikiwiki 2.16:
Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this
release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog".
Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily,
and will be removed later.
The meta plugin no longer supports setting internal or external links
with "meta link". Instead, use "meta openid" for openid links, and use tags
for in-wiki invisible links between pages.
If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly
cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass
--refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that
contain out of date calendars.
ikiwiki 2.16 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
[[toggleable text="""
* Major basewiki reorganisation. Most pages moved into ikiwiki/ subdirectory
to avoid polluting the main namespace, and some were further renamed.
* meta: Add redir support, based on a patch by Thomas Schwinge.
* Redirs added for moved basewiki pages. These will be removed in a future
release.
* Remove .otl file from sandbox to avoid build ugliness. Closes: #[454181](http://bugs.debian.org/454181)
* Finally implemented a simple per-page data storage mechanism for plugins,
via the %pagestate hash.
* Use pagestate in meta to detect potential redir loops.
* Added a version plugin that saves state about what's using it, to force
pages to rebuild when ikiwiki's version changes.
* The calendar plugin stores state about when it needs to be updated,
and forces rebuilds of the pages that contain calendars. So
running ikiwiki --refresh at midnight is now enough, no need for a full
wiki rebuild each midnight.
* calendar: Work around block html parsing bug in markdown 1.0.1 by
enclosing the calendar in an extra div.
* Fix file pruning code to work if ikiwiki is run with "." as the srcdir.
* Add an edittemplate plugin, allowing registering template pages, that
provide default content for new pages created using the web frontend.
* Change formbuilder hook to not be responsible for displaying a form,
so that more than one plugin can use this hook.
I believe this is a safe change, since only passwordauth uses this hook.
(If some other plugin already used it, it would have broken passwordauth!)
* Ensure that web edited pages always end in a newline.
* Avoid unnecessary stat calls to get mtime when rendering pages, use
cached value.
* Preserve input file modification times in output files.
* Allow dashes in preprocessor directive commands, and shortcuts.
* Htmlize parameters passed to the template preprocessor directive before
inserting them into the html template. This ensures that markdown
acts on them, even if the value is expanded inside a block-level html
element in the html template. Closes: #[454058](http://bugs.debian.org/454058)
* Use a div in the note template rather than a span.
* shortcut: Expand %S to the raw input text, not url-encoded.
* Don't increment feed numbers when an inline has no feeds. (Nis Martensen)
* Allow editing a page and deleting all content, while still disallowing
creating a new page that's entirely empty.
* meta: Drop support for "meta link", since supporting this for internal
links required meta to be run during scan, which complicated its data
storage, since it had to clear data stored during the scan pass to avoid
duplicating it during the normal preprocessing pass.
* If you used "meta link", you should switch to either "meta openid" (for
openid delegations), or tags (for internal, invisible links). I assume
that nobody really used "meta link" for external, non-openid links, since
the htmlscrubber ate those. (Tell me differently and I'll consider bringing
back that support.)
* meta: Improved data storage.
* meta: Drop the hackish filter hook that was used to clear
stored data before preprocessing, this hack was ugly, and broken (cf:
liw's disappearing openids).
* aggregate: Convert filter hook to a needsbuild hook.
* map: Don't inline images.
* brokenlinks: Don't list the same link multiple times. (%links might
contain multiple copies of the same link)
* git: Correct display of multiline commit messages in recentchanges.
* Re-organise dependencies and recommends now that recommends are installed
by default.
* Don't refuse to render files with ".." in their name. (Anchor the regexp.)
* Work around perl taint checking bug #411786, where perl sometimes randomly
sets the taint flag on untainted variables, by disabling taint checking
in the deb. This sucks."""]]

* Split error messages for failures to drop real uid and gid.
* Retry dropping uid and gid, possibly this will help with the "Resource
temporarily unavailable" failures I've experienced under xen.
* Stop testing Encode::is\_utf8 in decode\_form\_utf8: That doesn't work.
* decode\_form\_utf8 only fixed the utf-8 encoding for fields that were
registered at the time it was called, which was before the
formbuilder\_setup hook. Fields added by the hook didn't get decoded.
But it can't be put after the hook either, since plugins using the hook
need to be able to use form values. To fix this dilemma, it's been changed
to a decode\_cgi\_utf8, which is called on the cgi query object, before the
form is set up, and decodes *all* cgi parameters.
* aggregate: Only save state if it was already loaded. This didn't used to
matter, but after recent changes, state is not always loaded, and saving
would kill it.

News for ikiwiki 2.30:
Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the
spirit of a wiki compiler? Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is
now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds.
Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes
to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users.
All wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade 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 ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system
is showing its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for
various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED
from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be
able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed.
The "svnrepo" and "notify" fields in setup files are no longer used, and
silently ignored. You may want to remove them from your setup file.

* [ Joey Hess ]
* Old versions of git-init don't support --git-dir or GIT\_DIR with
--bare. Change ikiwiki-makerepo to use a method that should work with
those older versions too.
* aggregate: Don't let feeds set creation times for pages in the future.
* Add full parser for git diff-tree output (Brian Downing)
* aggregate: Fork a child process to handle the aggregation. This simplifies
the code, since that process can change internal state as needed, and
it will automatically be cleaned up for the parent process, which proceeds
to render the changes.
* [ Josh Triplett ]
* Add trailing comma to commented-out umask in sample ikiwiki.setup, so
that uncommenting it does not break the setup file.
* [ Joey Hess ]
* inline: The template can check for FIRST and LAST, which will be
set for the first and last inlined page. Useful for templates that build
tables and the like.
* prettydate,ddate: Don't ignore time formats passed to displaytime
function.
* Pages with extensions starting with "\_" are internal-use, and will
not be rendered or web-edited, or matched by normal pagespecs.
* Add "internal()" pagespec that matches internal-use pages.
* RecentChanges is now a static html page, that's updated whenever a commit
is made to the wiki. It's built as a blog using inline, so it can have
an rss feed that users can subscribe to.
* Removed support for sending commit notification mails. Along with it went
the svnrepo and notify settings, though both will be ignored if left in
setup files. Also gone with it is the "user()" pagespec.
* Add refresh hook.
* meta: Add pagespec functions to match against title, author, authorurl,
license, and copyright. This can be used to create custom RecentChanges.
* meta: To support the pagespec functions, metadata about pages has to be
retained as pagestate.
* Fix encoding bug when pagestate values contained spaces.
* Add support for bzr, written by Jelmer Vernooij. Thanks also to bma for
his independent work on bzr support.
* Copyright file updates."""]]
