I noticed that ikiwiki/formatting was beilg rebuilt when any page changed.
This turned out to be because it contained a complex conditional
"enabled(foo) or enabled(bar)", and the conditional plugin did not notice
that this consisted only of enabled() tests, and copied it unchanged into
add_depends. Thus, the page's dependencies were satisfied by any page
change.
The fix is to beef up the parser so that it can handle that and more
complex conditionals, and detect if they consist only of such tests.
Upgrades to the new index format should be transparent.
The version field is 3, because 1 was the old textual index, 2 was the
pre-versioned format.
This also includes some efficiency improvements to index loading, by
not copying a hash and using a reference.
* teximg: The prefix is configurable, and has changed to not include the
nonstandard mhchem by default. (willu)
* teximg: dvipng is used if available to render images. Its output is
antialiased and better than dvips. If not available, the old dvips+convert
chain will be used. (willu)
* Drop suggests on texlive-science, add suggests on dvipng.
The locked pages configuration is moving to a locked_pages option in the
setup file, and the allowed attachments configuration to
allowed_attachments. The admin prefs page can still be used for these, but
that's depreacted and will only be shown if there's currently a value.
The fix for colons involved adding "./" to some urls. Due to the weird way
inline called urlto, these snuck into feed urls and permalinks. Fix it by
adding an optional third parameter to urlto.
* The editpage form now uses the raw page name, not the page title, in its
'page' cgi parameter. Using the title was ambiguous and made it
impossible to tell between some pages, like "foo/bar" and "foo__47__bar",
sometimes causing the wrong page to be edited.
* This change means that some edit links need to be updated.
Force a rebuild on upgrade to this version.
* Above change also allowed really fixing escaped slashes from the blogpost
form.
* toc: Revert change in 2.45 that made it run at sanitize time. This breaks
use of toc in a sidebar.
* Call format hooks when generating page previews, thus fixing toc display
there, as well as fixing inlins to again display in page previews, since
it's started using format hooks. This also allows several other things,
like embed, that use format hooks, to work during page preview time.
* Format hooks should not rely on getting an entire html document, as they
will only get the body during page preview.
* toggle: Deal with preview mode when adding javascript.
Because the search plugin needed it, also because it's one of the few
plugins that didn't already have it.
I also considered adding it to htmlize, but I really cannot imagine caring
what the destpage is when htmlizing. (I'll probably be poven wrong later.)
* Add a Bundle::Ikiwiki to the source for use with CPAN to install *all*
the modules ikiwiki can use.
* Add a cpan directory containing a CPAN::MyConfig that can ease use of
CPAN to install in a home directory on shared hosting providers.
* With these changes, it's pretty easy to install onto nearlyfreespeech.net
and probably other shared hosting providers like dreamhost. Added
a tip page documentng the process for nearlyfreespeech.
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.
This works around a perl crasher bug, and also avoids bloating pages
with enormous diffs.
rcs_recentchanges modified to return a list in an array context.
set to the destination page. This avoids need for hacks to munge the urls
in preview mode, which fixes several bugs.
* Several destpage fixes in plugins.
* 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.
As was already done for linkfication, links generated in a prevew page
are relative to the top of the wiki, so it has to be told that the destpage
is there.
I was using "" to indicate this, but that may confuse some preprocessor
plugins, which treat parameters with an empry value specially (sparkline is one
such). Instead, use "/", which is more accurate anyway and works just as well.
Now aggregation will not lock the wiki. Any changes made during aggregaton are
merged in with the changed state accumulated while aggregating. A separate
lock file prevents multiple concurrent aggregators. Garbage collection
of orphaned guids is much improved. loadstate() is only called once
per process, so tricky support for reloading wiki state is not needed.
(Tested fairly thuroughly.)
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.
I kept it to a simple global configuration, rather than using the
preprocessor directive for recentchanges, because that had chicken and egg
problems and seemed overcomplicated. This should work reasonably well,
though it would be good to add some more metadata so that more customised
recentchanges pages can be made.
remove the enclosing paragraph and newline markdown wraps it in.
This allows removing several hacks around this markdown behavior from
other plugins that htmlize fragements of pages.
returned (and not run in some cases) rather than the plugins directly
forcing a user to log in.
* opendiscussion: allow editing of the toplevel discussion page,
and, indirectly, allow creating new discussion pages.
the needsbuild hook. This resulted in feeds not being removed when pages
were updated, and probably other bugs.
* aggregate: Avoid uninitialised value warning when removing a feed that
has an expired guid.
links required meta to be run during scan, which complicated its data
storage, since it had to clear data stored during the scan pass to avoid
duplicating it during the normal preprocessing pass.
* If you used "meta link", you should switch to either "meta openid" (for
openid delegations), or tags (for internal, invisible links). I assume
that nobody really used "meta link" for external, non-openid links, since
the htmlscrubber ate those. (Tell me differently and I'll consider bringing
back that support.)
* meta: Improved data storage.
* meta: Drop the hackish filter hook that was used to clear
stored data before preprocessing, this hack was ugly, and broken (cf:
liw's disappearing openids).
* aggregate: Convert filter hook to a needsbuild hook.
