* 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 some code to the build system that tries to determine if the
lib installation directory is in @INC. If it's not, munge ikiwiki
to hardcode the path to the lib directory. This should allow installing
ikiwiki in nonstandard locations, including home directories, by just
setting PREFIX at build time.
* Fix nested examples directory in deb.
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.
* 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.
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.
* 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.
to pave the way for adding other RCS support. This also changes the
setup files, where before they had svn => 1 or svn => 0, now they have
rcs => "svn" or rcs => "".
* Add a debian/NEWS file with upgrade notes.
* Load whatever rcs module is specified, so new ones can be just dropped in
as plugins and work.
* Add some basic docs about writing RCS modules.
* 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.
so I don't need to maintain two copies anymore.
You might also want to remove the files provided in the basewiki underlay
from your wiki, if you have not created custom local versions of them, so
that these pages will be automatically updated in future ikiwiki upgrades.
kept in mind during this are a) to reduce load time for common cases like
cgi and post-commit and b) make the code easier to navigate.
This also modularises RCS support to the extent that it should be possible
to drop in a module for some RCS other than svn, add a switch for it, and
it pretty much just work.
High chance I missed an edge case that breaks something, this is only
barely tested at this point.
