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!
layer, which led to lots of problems; make it force read files as utf-8.
Closes: #373203
* writefile() likewise needs to use the utf8 output layer.
* Remove the -CSD from ikiwiki's hashbang since it's useless to have it
there.
* Revert some of the decode_utf8 changes in CGI.pm that seem unnecessary
given the readfile fix.
* Add utf-8 testcases for readfile and htmlize.
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.
* 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.)
<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.
for other types of search engine plugins if wanted, and also opening up a
lot of new possibilities for other kinds of plugins later
some notable changes along the way:
- lots of new hook types: cgi, render, delete
- wrapper files fixed to support config strings with newlines in them
- HEADERCONTENT in page template useful for plugins. Probably needs to be
expanded to more such for other places plugins might want to add content.
- remove unnecessary wrappers field from config info stored in wrappers
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.
* Add some basic docs about writing RCS modules.
