8x.
* Add "scan" parameter to hook(), which is used to make the hook be called
during the scanning pass, as well as the render pass. The meta and tag
plugins need to use the new scan parameter, so will any others that modify
%links.
* Now that links are calculated in a separate pass, it can also
precalculate backlinks in one pass, which is O(N^2) instead of the
previous code that was O(N^3). A very nice speedup for wikis with lots
(thousands) of pages.
source file, to allow tracking of extra rendered files like rss feeds.
* Note that plugins that accessed this variable will need to be updated!
The plugin interface has been increased to version 1.01 for this change.
* Add will_render function to the plugin interface, used to register that a
page renders a destination file, and do some security checks.
* Use will_render in the inline and linkmap plugins.
* Previously but no longer rendered files will be cleaned up.
* You will need to rebuild your wiki on upgrade to this version.
* PageSpecs can now include nested parens, "and", and "or". This remains
backwards compatible to the old GlobList format. It's implemented by
treating the GlobList as a very limited microlanguage that is transformed
to perl code that does the matching.
* The old GlobList format is deprecated, and I encourage users to switch to
using the new PageSpec format. Compatability with the old format will be
removed at some point, possibly by 2.0.
* Wiki rebuild needed on upgrade to this version due to PageSpec change.
* Add support for creation_month and creation_year to PageSpec.
Closes: #380680
* Changes to index file encoding.
This allows adding or removing plugins w/o overriding the whole list of
default plugins, which makes it easier to upgrade when new default plugins
are added.
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
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.
