Markdown is slow. Especially if it has to process an enormous page. The
most common enormous page is currently the recentchanges page, which gets
processed a lot, and contains very little actual markdown. Most of it is a
big <div>, which markdown skips ... slowly.
This is a rather sick optimisation to work around markdown's speed issues.
Now inline inserts a small, dummy div, allows markdown to quickly render
the actual page content, then replaces the dummy with the actual inlined
pages later.
Results: Rendering just a recentchanges page, with diffs included, dropped
from 4.5 seconds to 2.7 seconds on my laptop. Building the entire wiki
dropped from 46.6 seconds to 39.5 seconds.
(It would be better if inline were a *post*-processor directive.)
which forced a scan of the page to make available metadata that
appeared after the inline directive. Problem is that scan made it forget
about any other files rendered due to the page. The scan also turns out
to be unnecessary now, since meta persistently stores state and it's
always available. So it was just removed.
just avoid actually writing the files. This is necessary because ikiwiki
saves state after a preview (in case it actually *did* write files),
and if will_render isn't called its security checks will get upset
when the page is saved. Thanks to Edward Betts for his help tracking this
tricky bug down.
atom feeds, and also changing the publication time for a feed to the
newest modiciation time (was newest creation time).
* The patch also adds dcterms:creator to rss items that have a known author.
ESCAPE=HTML for titles in the templates for these feeds, and instead
escape the title going in to the template. Previously, the title was
sometimes double-escaped in a feed (if set via meta title), and sometimes
not (if set from the page filename).
* In the meta plugin, when a title is set, encode the html entities in it
numerically. This works better in the current landscape of a rss spec that
doesn't specify encoding, and variously broken feed consumers, according
to <http://www.rssboard.org/rss-profile#data-types-characterdata>.
for extended pagespecs. The old calling convention will still work for
back-compat for now.
* The calling convention for functions in the IkiWiki::PageSpec namespace
has changed so they are passed named parameters.
* Plugin interface version increased to 2.00 since I don't anticipate any
more interface changes before 2.0.
on and supported creating it (especially Tumov). This adds a "usedirs"
option that makes ikiwiki use foo/index.html instead of foo.html as
output page names. It is not yet enabled by default.
* Renamed %oldpagemtime to a more accurately named %pagemtime and fix it to
actually store pages' mtimes.
* Add "mtime" sort parameter to inline plugin.
that given link points based on the page doing the linking. Note that this
could make such PageSpecs match different things than before, if you
relied on the old behavior of them only matching the raw link text.
* This required changing the match_* interface, adding a third parameter.
* Allow link() PageSpecs to match relative, as is allowed with globs.a
* Add postform option to inline plugin.
* Add an bug tracker to the softwaresite example.
were titlepage escaped in the urls, and then doubly escaped by the CGI
when editing. To fix this, I removed the titlepage escaping in the edit
urls.
* That means that *every edit link* on the wiki is potentially changed.
Rebuilding wikis on upgrade to this version therefore necessary; enabled
that in postinst.
previous ugly hack used to avoid writing rss feeds in previews.
* Fix the img plugin to avoid overwriting images in previews. Instead it
does all the work to make sure the resizing works, and dummys up a resized
image using width and height attributes.
* Also fixes img preview display, the links were wrong in preview before.
parameters remain the same, but additional options are now passed in using
named parameters.
* Change plugin interface version to 1.02 to reflect this change.
* Add a new anchor option to htmllink. Thanks Ben for the idea.
* Support anchors in wikilinks.
* Add a "more" plugin based on one contributed by Ben to allow implementing
those dreaded "Read more" links in blogs.
* Fix code to make absolute urls for rss feeds, was missing some urls.
* Fix double-escaping of html entities in titles etc in rss feeds
that occured if escaped characters were present in the page filename.
manipulate.
* Only exclude rss and atom files from processing if the inline plugin
is enabled and that feed type is enabled. Else it's just a copyable file
type.
* Move rss and atom option handling code into the inline plugin.
* Applied a rather old patch from Recai to fix the "pruning is too strict"
issue. Now you can have wiki source directories inside dotdirs and the
like, if you want.
* 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.
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 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.
- 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.
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.
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.
* 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.)
* 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.
* 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.
