According to caniuse.com, a significant fraction of Web users are
still using Internet Explorer versions that do not support HTML5
sectioning elements. However, claiming we're XHTML 1.0 Strict
means we can't use features invented in the last 12 years, even if
they degrade gracefully in older browsers (like the role and placeholder
attributes).
This means our output is no longer valid according to any particular
DTD. Real browsers and other non-validator user-agents have never
cared about DTD compliance anyway, so I don't think this is a real loss.
checksessionexpiry's signature changed from
(CGI::Session, CGI->param('sid')) to (CGI, CGI::Session) in commit
985b229b, but editpage still passed the sid as a useless third
parameter, and this was later cargo-culted into remove, rename and
recentchanges.
The intention was that signed-in users (for instance via httpauth,
passwordauth or openid) are already adequately identified, but
there's nothing to indicate who an anonymous commenter is unless
their IP address is recorded.
It appears that both the open-source and proprietary rulesets for
ModSecurity default to blacklisting requests that say they are
from libwww-perl, presumably because some script kiddies use libwww-perl
and are too inept to set a User-Agent that is "too big to blacklist",
like Chrome or the iPhone browser or something. This seems doomed to
failure but whatever.
On non-Debian systems, /usr/bin/perl might not be the best available
Perl interpreter. Use whichever perl was used to run Makefile.PL,
unless it was "/usr/bin/perl", in which case there's nothing to do.
I didn't try to parameterize when a test should fail when we can't
remove ikiwiki.cgi because there already isn't one. (Hooray, natural
language.) Instead, we stop worrying about it and always tolerate
ENOENT.
