For a while, I was avoiding capitalizing ikiwiki at the beginning of a
sentence. I now think that's a bad idea (unless explicitly referring to
the `ikiwiki` command). Still, I don't go all the way and always cap it,
as a proper noun. That would make the logo look bad. ;)
I also tend to avoid capping it as IkiWiki, except when referring to the
perl internals, which do use that capitalization. (Too late to change
that.) However, it's also reasonable to do so in a WikiLink, as a nod to
historical camelcase wikis.
Colons are not allowed at the start of urls, because it can be interpreted
as a protocol, and allowing arbitrary protocols can be unsafe
(CVE-2008-0809). However, this check was too restrictive, not allowing
use of eg, "video.ogv?t=0:03:00/0:04:00" to seek to a given place in a
video, or "somecgi?foo=bar:baz" to pass parameters with colons.
It's still not allowed to have a filename with a colon in it (ie
"foo:bar.png") -- to link to such a file, a fully qualified url must be
used.
Since Firefox version 3, it's done aggressive caching of visited pages, and
does not, by default, check if the cached content is still valid when
reloading or revisiting a page. By default, Firefox seems to not re-contact
the web server at all. Compare with eg, Epiphany and Chromium, which appear
to always check, and get back a 304 when the page is unchanged.
This header makes Firefox do the right thing, at least for html files. It
still over-caches if css, javascript, images, etc, are changed.
The info is stored in the session database, not the user database.
There should be no reason to need it when a user is not logged in.
Also, hide the email field in the preferences page for openid users.
Note that the email and username are not yet actually used for anything.
The email will be useful for gravatar, while the username might be used
for a more pretty display of the openid.
* moderatedcomments: Added moderate_pagespec that can be used
to control which users or comment locations are moderated.
This can be used, just for example, to moderate http://myopenid.com/*
if you're getting a lot of spammers from one particular openid
provider (who should perhaps answer your emails about them),
while not moderating other users.
* moderatedcomments: The moderate_users setting is deprecated. Instead,
set moderate_pagespec to "!admin()" or "user(*)" instead.
This prevented comments containing some utf-8, including euro sign, from
being submitted. Since md5_hex is a C implementation, the string has to be
converted from perl's internal encoding to utf-8 when it is called. Some
utf-8 happened to work before, apparently by accident.
Note that this will change the checksums returned.
unique_comment_location is only used when posting comments, so the checksum
does not need to be stable there.
I only changed page_to_id for completeness; it is passed a comment page
name, and they can currently never contain utf-8.
In teximg, the bug could perhaps be triggered if the tex source contained
utf-8. If that happens, the checksum will change, and some extra work might
be performed on upgrade to rebuild the image.
This was not doable before, but when I added transitive dependency handling
in the big dependency rewrite, it became possible to include a comment
count when inlining.
This also improves the action link when a page has no comments. It will
link direct to the cgi to allow posting the first comment. And if the page
is locked to prevent posting new comments, the link is no longer shown.
Now that openiduser is in IkiWiki core, it's ok to have passwordauth check
for it, and avoid displaying useless password fields when showing
preferences for an openid.
Also improved the styling of the display of the openid in the preferneces
page.
Consider a template like:
[[!template type=note text="""
[[!inline pages="*foo*"]]
"""]]
The text parameter is htmlized before being passed into the template (in
case the template wraps it in a <span> that prevents markdown from
htmlizing it later).
But, when markdown sees "*foo*", it turns that into <em>foo</em>.
Later, when preprocessing the inline directive, that leads to suprising
results.
To fix this, I made template parameters be preprocessed (and filtered)
before being htmlized.
Note that I left in the preprocessing (and filtering) of the template
output at the end. That's still relevant when the template itself contains
preprocessor directives.
Note that there is an associated po4a warning when a page is empty:
Use of uninitialized value $file in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Locale/Po4a/Text.pm line 205.
I've filed a bug with po4a about that, but the important thing is fixing
the crash here.
The new git-notes feature in git 1.6.6 changes git log output in a way that
broke ikiwiki's parser if notes are added to commits.
I decided to deal with this by disabling notes when ikiwiki uses git,
by setting GIT_NOTES_REF="". AFAICS, looking up notes when dumping logs
will only waste time, since it does not currently seem to make sense for
ikiwiki to do anything with the notes.
I noticed that chromium was not hyperlinking the areas in the object-based
linkmap, while img works ok. Dunno why, but img based is nicer anyway since
it is allowed right through the htmlscrubber with no workarounds.
On second though, you might want a wide-open wiki with some locked
pages that cannot be edited online.
So, the right thing for lockedit to do when there are no auth plugins is
to just say the page cannot be edited.
Problem here was that no charset http header was being sent.
I fixed this globally by making cgi_custom_failure send the header.
Required changing its parameters.
The crux of the problem is that the cgi object has raw values not converted
to utf-8, and rename was using its fields. Also fixed a missed place where
the form object did not get its fields utf-8 encoded.
I noticed the onload hook running twice sometimes when using chromium.
Change from using arguments.callee.done to a onload_done variable fixed it.
I guess that the callee differed in chromium.
Probably the cause of the problem is that chrome supports both
window.onload and document.addEventListener.
Speedup of about 25% for small inlines; could be much larger for inlines of
many, or complex pages.
Not bloating memory with excessive memoization data was the key to this.
The method chosen does not squeeze out every erg of speed possible when
inlines are nested, but that's rare. It uses less memory than other
optimisation hacks (I'm looking at you,
f937c1fb80 !) already used in inline.pm.
Unlike generic meta foo tags, meta description is known to be safe, so can
be special cased to be allowed despite the html scrubber. This makes meta
description much more useful, since it is otherwise limited to being used
by other plugins like map.
My experience is that when inlines are nested, the old behavior of
generating feeds for the nested inlines was never really desired. Since the
feeds were numbered sequentially, the numbers could easily change, and it did
not make sense to subscribe to or use those feeds. And generating those nested
feeds often meant a lot of unnecessary calculation, and data being written.
So, I dropped them.
Looking back, nested feeds originally were a free side effect of properly
handing multiple feeds on one page. Of course, that is still supported.
I chose not to have it override style.css, because style.css is not really
intended to be edited; the one from the underlay is intended to be used as
a base that local.css overrides.
I chose to use a plugin rather than changing the default behavior, both
because I didn't want to have to worry about possibly breaking backwards
compatability (though this seems unlikely), and because it seemed cleaner
to not include style template parameters in the main page template code.
I suppose someone might want a way to not override the toplevel
local.css, but instead include it as well as foo/local.css. Probably the
best way to do that would be to have foo/local.css @import ../local.css
(modulo browser compatability issues). Alternatively, edit page.tmpl
to always include the toplevel local.css, or swap out this plugin for
another one.
When redirecting to a page, ie, after editing, ensure that the url is
uri-encoded. Most browsers other than MSIE don't care, but it's the right
thing to do.
The known failure case involved editing a page that had utf-8 in the name
using MSIE.
Before, the htmllink would display the link to the template as if it were a
wikilink, but what was stored was not, which could lead to confusing
situations.
This will be a bit more expensive, but --getctime does not need to be fast.
And getting the real creation time a very useful when untangling blog
histories that involve renames.
Benchmarking refresh of a a wiki with 25 thousand pages showed
file_pruned() using most of the time. But, when refreshing, ikiwiki already
knows about nearly all the files. So we can skip calling file_pruned() for
those it knows about. While tricky to do, this sped up a refresh (that
otherwise does no work) by 10-50%.
This makes it more efficient.
It also fixes the same bug that I fixed in orphans recently,
that only changes to the set of displayed pages were considered (or amoung),
which missed changes to links on other pages to those.
Probably this bug was never noticed because pagestats is most often put
on a blog type page, which gets updated anyway when posts change,
and thus the tag cloud was updated.
This makes it more efficient.
It also fixes a longstanding bug, where if only a small set of pages were
considered by orphans, changes to links on other pages failed to cause an
update.
Here I was bitten by perl's aliasing of foreach variables
to the loop array contents, and match_link accidentially changed
the contents of %links.
In Jon's testcase, a tag added an absolute link, which was
made relative by the above bug, and then the link was added
again in preprocess, and turned into a duplicate.
I had assumed that an image shown full size did not need add_depends, since
a change would not need a change to the displaying page.
But this is not true if the image is modified and its size changes. Then
the page needs to update its img tag to reflect the current size.
If an image was resized smaller, with width and height specified to values
that did not fit its aspect ratio, the image tag with/height were not
adjusted to the actual size imagemagick chooses.
This was broken by 03449610d6.
To fix it right, it unfortunatly needs to always read the src image now,
in order to determine if the image is being displayed larger, or resized
smaller. When resized smaller, it then always uses the size of the
thumbnail, while for larger it calculates the size.
(Only way to get rid of this sometimes extra image read would be to change
it to not allow displaying images larger.)
I weakended the regexp, so this matches ipv6 addresses too. It does not
ensure that the address is valid, but that should not matter here.
Note that addresses ending in "::" are not matched, so eg, the unspecified
address will not match -- but should never appear here anyway.
TeX has configuration options that prevent unsafe things like shell
escapes and insecure file reads/writes. Turn all of them on.
teximg's regex-based blacklist does not suffice. For instance:
[[!teximg code="""
\catcode`\%=0
%input{/etc/passwd}
"""]]
Remove the blacklist, since the TeX configuration options seal off the
underlying mechanisms more safely, and the blacklist blocks other TeX
commands that can prove useful.
Although imagemagick handles even really large sizes sanely, using a page
file, doing so would just waste time and disk space, since the browser
can be told to resize it larger.
