Using named parameters for these is overdue. Passing the session in a
parameter instead of passing username and IP separately will later allow
storing other session info, like username or part of the email.
Note that these functions are not part of the exported API,
and the prototype change will catch (most) skew, so I am not changing
API versions. Any third-party plugins that call them will need updated
though.
Everywhere that REMOTE_ADDR was used, a session object is available, so
instead use its remote_addr method.
In IkiWiki::Receive, stop setting a dummy REMOTE_ADDR.
Note that it's possible for a session cookie to be obtained using one IP
address, and then used from another IP. In this case, the first IP will now
be used. I think that should be ok.
Something has changed in CGI.pm in perl 5.10. It used to not care
if STDIN was opened using :utf8, but now it'll mis-encode utf-8 values
when used that way by ikiwiki. Now I have to binmode(STDIN) before
instantiating the CGI object.
In 57bba4dac1, I changed from decoding
CGI::Formbuilder fields to utf-8, to decoding cgi parameters before setting
up the form object. As of perl 5.10, that approach no longer has any effect
(reason unknown). To get correctly encoded values in FormBuilder forms,
they must once again be decoded after the form is set up.
As noted in 57bba4da, this can cause one set of problems for
formbuilder_setup hooks if decode_form_utf8 is called before the hooks, and
a different set if it's called after. To avoid both sets of problems, call
it both before and after. (Only remaining problem is the sheer ugliness and
inefficiency of that..)
I think that these changes will also work with older perl versions, but I
haven't checked.
Also, in the case of the poll plugin, the cgi parameter needs to be
explcitly decoded before it is used to handle utf-8 values. (This may have
always been broken, not sure if it's related to perl 5.10 or not.)
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.
commit hook, it was possible for one CGI to race another one and "win"
the commit of both their files. This race has been fixed by adding a new
commitlock, which when locked by the CGI, disables the commit hook
(except for commit mails). The CGI then takes care of the updates the
commit hook would have done.
