firefox 3 smooshed the page location dropdown up to the page title,
obscuring descenders and underscores. Maybe that's a bug, since the CSS
didn't ask it to, but I think adding the extra space of a br at the top
looks better anyway.
FormBuilder makes it annoyingly hard to move a submit button to a
nonstandard place. The button name has to be "_submit" or FormBuilder will
ignore it.
The fix involved embedding the session id in the forms, and not allowing the
forms to be submitted if the embedded id does not match the session id.
In the case of the preferences form, if the session id is not embedded,
then the CGI parameters are cleared. This avoids a secondary attack where the
link to the preferences form prefills password or other fields, and
the user hits "submit" without noticing these prefilled values.
In the case of the editpage form, the anonok plugin can allow anyone to edit,
and so I chose not to guard against CSRF attacks against users who are not
logged in. Otherwise, it also embeds the session id and checks it.
For page editing, I assume that the user will notice if content or commit
message is changed because of CGI parameters, and won't blndly hit save page.
So I didn't block those CGI paramters. (It's even possible to use those CGI
parameters, for good, not for evil, I guess..)
The only other CSRF attack I can think of in ikiwiki involves the poll plugin.
It's certianly possible to set up a link that causes the user to unknowingly
vote in a poll. However, the poll plugin is not intended to be used for things
that people would want to attack, since anyone can after all edit the poll page
and fill in any values they like. So this "attack" is ignorable.
* rcs_diff is a new function that rcs modules should implement.
* Implemented rcs_diff for git, svn, and tla (tla version untested).
Mercurial and monotone still todo.
containing ikiwiki.cgi, but this should not change the urls to the style
sheets etc. Add a new forcebareurl parameter to misctemplate to allow
it to do that.
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.
The customary 2.5 hours of staring at random css turtorials later, here
is a pure css latout for the static recentchanges page that, while not as good
as the old table layout, it decent. And it works well in lynx. And
should generate some pretty nice rss too.
- add a title to the editpage form;
- pass a reference to the list of buttons to the formbuilder_setup
hooks, so we can add ours;
- relax asumption about the possible submit values (use "Save Page"
explicitly);
- de-hardcode the submit buttons from the editpage template
(This was needed for compatability with a bug in CGI::FormBuilder
3.0401, but ikiwiki already needs a newer version.)
* Pass buttons to all other formbuilder_setup hooks too.
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>.
and style sheet updates, and unless you're using customised versions,
you'll want to rebuild wikis on upgrade to this version to avoid
inconsistencies.
* Allow WIKINAME to to used in footers, as an example of something to put
there.
including out of disk space situations. ikiwiki should never leave
truncated files, and if the error occurs during a web-based file edit,
the user will be given an opportunity to retry.
Inspired by the many ways Moin Moin destroys itself when out of disk. :-)
* Fix syslogging of errors.
FORM-SUBMIT unusable on customised formbuilder templates. For now,
hardcode the submit buttons in editpage.tmpl instead of using the
template variable, which is ok, since the buttons are static.
* 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.
- 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

pages.
* Change how the stylesheet url is determined in the templates: Remove
STYLEURL and add BASEURL to all templates (some already had it). This
new more general variable can be used to link to other things (eg, images)
from the template, as well as stylesheets.
* 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 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.)
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

* 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.
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.
* 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.
* 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
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.)
expanded before markdown. Consequences:
- No need to worry about markdown messing with parameters of
preprocessordirectives. (If you had to escape stuff in one before, you'll
need to undo that escaping now.)
- No need for ugly </p> hacks before inlined subpages. Instead, subpages
are wrapped in a <div>, and this prevents markdown from touching them.
(This can also be used to add style to subpages.)
- rss generation is less of a hack.
wikilinks since the urls should work now in more situations
- drop --limit from svn log run, since a) it needs a fairly new svn and
b) in some cases, it would limit it to too few entries to display the
requested number of changes
- Use driver:DB_File and not driver:db_file for better compatability with
old versions of CGI::Session.
- Note that HTML::Template 3.02.02 is needed.
- escape & in urls (also clean up cgi url generation)
- since markdown wraps inlined pages in <p></p>, close and re-open
the paragraph tags when generating the embedded html
- added XHTML 1.0 doctypes to templates
- fixed <hr /> and <br /> in templates
- add an alt attribute to inline images, based on the WikiLink to the
image. Allows things like [[my_image|img.png]] to customise alt text.
