* Introduce the nicebundle. This is a kind of plugin, that just enables
many other plugins. It's an easy way to boost ikiwiki from its default,
basic wiki, to a full-featured wiki, without manually picking the right
set of plugins. New plugins will be added to the nicebundle from time to
time.
* Add a test suite for the svn backend.
* Daemonize before sending RPC pings, since that can take a while
and/or hang.
* Daemonize before sending commit mails, as that can also take a long
time/hang if the mail server is unhappy.
* Factor out commit mail sending code into new function.
nothing more spohisticated will be needed.
* Add formbuilder_setup and formbuilder hooks.
* Split out a passwordauth module, that holds all the traditional password
based authentication etc code. It's enabled by default, but can be disabled
if you want only openid or some other auth method.
* Make the openid plugin support the callbacks from myopenid.com via its
affiliate program.
* Change how post signin actions are propigated through the signin process;
they're now stored in the session.
* Use precalculated backlinks info when determining if files need an update
due to a page they link to being added/removed. Mostly significant if
there are lots of pages.
* Remove duplicate link info when saving index. In some cases it could
pile up rather badly. (Probably not the best way to deal with this
problem.)
8x.
* Add "scan" parameter to hook(), which is used to make the hook be called
during the scanning pass, as well as the render pass. The meta and tag
plugins need to use the new scan parameter, so will any others that modify
%links.
* Now that links are calculated in a separate pass, it can also
precalculate backlinks in one pass, which is O(N^2) instead of the
previous code that was O(N^3). A very nice speedup for wikis with lots
(thousands) of pages.
an exception for the wiki's toplevel index page, which will still use the
wikiname as the feed title.
* Sanitize possibly problimatic characters out of the polygen grammar names,
just in case. Should not be exploitable anyway, since it only tries to run
polygen after finding the specified grammar file.
* Add a shortcut plugin, inspired by Victor Moral's contributed shortcuts
plugin, but featuring a more ikiwiki-ish syntax and with shortcuts that
can be configured using a page in wiki.
* Add feeds=no option to inline preprocessor directive to turn off all types
of feeds. feeds=rss will still work, and feeds=atom was also added, for
fine control.
* $IkiWiki::version now holds the program version, and is accessible to
plugins.
source file, to allow tracking of extra rendered files like rss feeds.
* Note that plugins that accessed this variable will need to be updated!
The plugin interface has been increased to version 1.01 for this change.
* Add will_render function to the plugin interface, used to register that a
page renders a destination file, and do some security checks.
* Use will_render in the inline and linkmap plugins.
* Previously but no longer rendered files will be cleaned up.
* You will need to rebuild your wiki on upgrade to this version.
* chomp trailing newlines at the end of templates read in by the template
plugin, to allow use of the template preprocessor directive in
whitespace-sensative situations. Closes: #387073
- Plugins should not need to load IkiWiki::Render to get commonly
used functions, so moved some functions from there to IkiWiki.
- Picked out the set of functions and variables that most plugins
use, documented them, and made IkiWiki export them by default,
like a proper perl module should.
- Use the other functions at your own risk.
- This is not quite complete, I still have to decide whether to
export some other things.
* Changed all plugins included in ikiwiki to not use "IkiWiki::" when
referring to stuff now exported by the IkiWiki module.
* Anyone with a third-party ikiwiki plugin is strongly enrouraged
to make like changes to it and avoid use of non-exported symboles from
"IkiWiki::".
* Link debian/changelog and debian/news to NEWS and CHANGELOG.
* Support hyperestradier version 1.4.2, which adds a new required phraseform
setting.
* otl2hmtl can't be safely used with IPC::Open2 since it sometimes
writes before consuming its whole stdin. Avoid this deadlock.
* Fix alt tags for outline checkboxes.
This allows passing a wikilink inside a parameter to a preprocessor
directive without it being expanded to html, and leaking out of the
parameter, which had required some non-obvious use of triple-quoting
to avoid. Note that any preprocessor plugins that output something
that looks like a wikilink will now have it treated as such; AFAIK
this doesn't change any behavior though except for the template plugin.
* Enable preprocessor directives when previewing an edit.
text blocks, for easy nesting of quotes inside.
* Add a template plugin.
* Use the template plugin to add infoboxes to each plugin page listing basic
info about the plugin.
Talens-Oliag. Note that this has many known issues -- see the caveats on
the plugin's page.
* Credit everyone who wrote a plugin on the plugins' wiki pages.
* If a page links to itself, mark up the link text in a span with
class="selflink" so that it can be styled. I don't have a useful style
defined for that though.
* Add --version.
* Man page format fixups.
* Add a %pagecase which maps lower-case page names to the actual case
used in the filename. Use this in bestlinks calculation instead of
forcing the link to lowercase.
* Also use %pagecase in various other places that want to check if a page
with a given name exists.
* This means that links to pages with mixed case names will now work,
even if the link is in some other case mixture, and mixed case pages
should be fully supported throughout ikiwiki.
* Recommend rebuilding wikis on upgrade to this version.
them without annoyances.
* Suck in the page content when generating an inline archive page, to work
around the meta plugin's lack of caching of title metadata across runs.
in case it was installed as one. Then fall back to trying
/usr/bin/markdown.
* Document in install page how to install markdown, since it has no
installation procedure in the upstream tarball.
Run it with -asxhtml instead, so it will output well-formed xhtml no
matter what the input.
* Disable tidy warnings too.
* Add a new format hook, and make tidy use it, since tidy can really only
operate on and output complete html documents, not the body chunks
that sanitise gets.
* Add permalink and author support to meta plugin, affecting RSS feeds
and blog pages.
* Change titlepage() to encode utf-8 alnum characters. This is necessary
to avoid UTF-8 creeping into filenames in urls. (There are still
some other ways that it can get in.)
the current support is a crude hack due to limitations of XML::Feed:
xml:base is not supported, neither is Content-Location. And of course,
relative links in RSS feeds are ill-undefined..
* PageSpecs can now include nested parens, "and", and "or". This remains
backwards compatible to the old GlobList format. It's implemented by
treating the GlobList as a very limited microlanguage that is transformed
to perl code that does the matching.
* The old GlobList format is deprecated, and I encourage users to switch to
using the new PageSpec format. Compatability with the old format will be
removed at some point, possibly by 2.0.
* Wiki rebuild needed on upgrade to this version due to PageSpec change.
* Add support for creation_month and creation_year to PageSpec.
Closes: #380680
* Changes to index file encoding.
quotes and such can be represented in title tags.
* Depend and build-depend on HTML::Parser for HTML::Entities which is used
for the above.
* Make --rebuild also cause --aggregate to re-download and write aggregated
pages.
* Avoid outputting duplicate meta info.
* Include title metadata on aggregated posts for capitalised and un-munged
titles.
plugin, so it's possible to implement a Planet using ikiwiki!
* --setup --refresh no longer rebuilds wrappers. Use --setup --refresh
--wrappers to do that.
* Add %IkiWiki::forcerebuild to provide a way for plugins like aggregate
to update pages that haven't changed on disk.
* Pass a "destpage" parameter to preprocessor and pagetemplate hooks.
This will be the page that a source page will be part of, which is
different than the source page for inlined pages.
* Audited all plugins to endure they pass page, destpage to htmllink
appropriatly. This means inlining of various plugins will not work
properly, with correct links generated.
The meta plugin can also still be used for that, but the tag plugin
also lists a page's tags at the bottom of the page.
- Allows preprocessor directives to have parameters with no specified
value.
- Fixes preprocessor directive parameter parsing so that
foo=bar baz now means "foo=bar" and a "baz" with no value.
* Run pagetemplate hooks when inlining pages so that inlines pages also
list their tags.
* Make all plugins with pagetemplate hooks check that variables exist
on the template before setting them.
- allows preprocessor directives to have parameters with no specified
value
- fixes preprocessor directive parameter parsing so that
foo=bar baz now means "foo=bar" and a "baz" with no value
- Add a tag plugin that allows more easily tagging pages.
The meta plugin can also still be used for this.
* Noticed a bug in the wikitext markup plugin -- it made CamelCase links the
default throughout the wiki, not only on wikitext pages. Decided to call
this a feature, and split the camelcase support out into a separate plugin
that is independant of wikitext.
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.
* 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.
* 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.)
* 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 by adding an
empty <li> to the end of it.
* Reordered some function call parameters for consistency.
<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
* 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.
holger reported that decode_utf8 was crashing with perl 5.8.8. Earlier, I
thought that passing 0 to the function avoided this with old perls, but
that was apparently not enough, it still crashes. So, put it inside the
eval, so we can at least recover from it crashing.
The old code actually did the same thing, just obfuscated -- since the eval
use wasn't quoted, it used the modules on load. Thus, the error (not to
mentioned the return) was bypassed, and it just failed on load.
But that seems like the right thing to do, really, so just made it clearer
that's what happens.
