This is truely horribly disgusting. CGI::tmpFileName, in current perls, is
an undocumented function (which should be a clue..) that takes the original
filename of an uploaded attachment, and returns the name of the tempfile
that CGI has stored it in.
In old perls, though, CGI::tmpFileName does not take a filename. It takes
a key from the object's {'.tmpfiles'} hash. This key is something
crazy like '*Fh::fh00001group' -- apparently the stringification of a
filehandle object.
Just to add to the fun, tmpFileName doesn't take the key, it expects a
refernce to the key. Argh?!
But the fun doesn't stop there, because in perl 5.8, CGI.pm is also broken
in two other ways. The upload() method is supposed to return a filehandle
to the temp file. It doesn't. The param() method is supposed to return
a filehandle to the temp file, that stringifies to the original filename.
It returns just the original filename, no filehandle.
Combine all these bugs, and you end up with this disgusting commit. Since
I have no way to get the filehandle, I *need* to get the tempfile name.
If I had the filehandle, I could probably pass it into tmpFileName, and
it might strigify to the right key name. But I don't, so the only way to
determine the key is to grub through the .tmpfiles hash ourselves.
And finally, one the temp file name is discovered, a filehandle can finally
be obtained by (re)opening it.
I recommend that this commit be reverted when perl 5.8 is a mercifully
faded memory.
I'm really, really, really glad I'm actually being paid for working on
this right now!
So the problem is that ikiwiki would generate a relative link like
href="colon:problem", which web browsers treat as being in the "colon:"
uri scheme.
The best fix seems to be to make url beautification fix this, by slapping
a "./" in front.
* 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.
This special case crops up when generating the parentlink to the toplevel
index page. urlto("") had been generating a link to "./" (or "../" etc)
for that, which is fine, if the web server redirects that to the toplevel
index.html. It's less fine if there is no web server.
I actually ran into the problem first when using gopher. (Yes, yes, don't
laugh.. see upcoming tip.) But it also crops up when browsing local wiki
files.
Of course, the index.html is stripped back off if usedirs is enabled.
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.)
This fixes a problem sgran saw on alioth. Apparently nss-db sets errno to
ENOENT as a side effect trying to read an optional file, but succeeds
anyway. Then, somehow, errno remains set across the library calls made by
$).
So unset it first as a workaround; there's probably a nss-db, libc, and/or
perl bug underneath.
Something has changed in CGI.pm in perl 5.10. It used to not care
if STDIN was opened using :utf8, but now it'll mis-encode utf-8 values
when used that way by ikiwiki. Now I have to binmode(STDIN) before
instantiating the CGI object.
In 57bba4dac1, I changed from decoding
CGI::Formbuilder fields to utf-8, to decoding cgi parameters before setting
up the form object. As of perl 5.10, that approach no longer has any effect
(reason unknown). To get correctly encoded values in FormBuilder forms,
they must once again be decoded after the form is set up.
As noted in 57bba4da, this can cause one set of problems for
formbuilder_setup hooks if decode_form_utf8 is called before the hooks, and
a different set if it's called after. To avoid both sets of problems, call
it both before and after. (Only remaining problem is the sheer ugliness and
inefficiency of that..)
I think that these changes will also work with older perl versions, but I
haven't checked.
Also, in the case of the poll plugin, the cgi parameter needs to be
explcitly decoded before it is used to handle utf-8 values. (This may have
always been broken, not sure if it's related to perl 5.10 or not.)
* 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

a tip page documentng the process for nearlyfreespeech.
This manifested as wikis with no locked pages treating them all as locked.
The bug was introduced in version 2.41.
Medium urgency upload due to above fix.
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.
During refresh of a wiki with 800 files, loadindex was using more total
time than any other function, and saveindex was also in the top ten.
Rewriting them to use Storable makes them three times as fast.
0.7 seconds is saved on my laptop in profiling mode.
About 12% of ikiwiki runtime was spent in pagespec_match. It was evaling
the same pagespec code over and over again. This changes pagespec_translate
to return memoized, precompiled functions that can be called to match against
a given pagespec.
This also allows getting rid of the weird variable scoping trick that had
to be in effect for pagespec_translate to be called -- the variables are
now just fed into the function it returns.
On my laptop, this drops build time for the docwiki from about 60 to 50
seconds.
Markdown is slow. Especially if it has to process an enormous page. The
most common enormous page is currently the recentchanges page, which gets
processed a lot, and contains very little actual markdown. Most of it is a
big <div>, which markdown skips ... slowly.
This is a rather sick optimisation to work around markdown's speed issues.
Now inline inserts a small, dummy div, allows markdown to quickly render
the actual page content, then replaces the dummy with the actual inlined
pages later.
Results: Rendering just a recentchanges page, with diffs included, dropped
from 4.5 seconds to 2.7 seconds on my laptop. Building the entire wiki
dropped from 46.6 seconds to 39.5 seconds.

correct, and it's certianly not correct now, since the wiki is locked

rcs_commit either.
Markdown is such a splintered mess.. The current debian package provides
only Text::Markdown::Markdown, while all versions of Text::Markdown support
Text::Markdown::markdown, and old versions also support the capitalised version,

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.
which forced a scan of the page to make available metadata that
appeared after the inline directive. Problem is that scan made it forget
about any other files rendered due to the page. The scan also turns out
to be unnecessary now, since meta persistently stores state and it's
always available. So it was just removed.
(as preserving the full list across preview would be tricky). Userdirs
were still being offered as an option there, remove them.

caused the rst plugin to hang.
Some browsers interpret about: URIs like a limited version of data:

just avoid actually writing the files. This is necessary because ikiwiki
saves state after a preview (in case it actually *did* write files),
and if will_render isn't called its security checks will get upset
when the page is saved. Thanks to Edward Betts for his help tracking this
tricky bug down.
- On commits, replace "mtn sync" bidirectional with "mtn push" single
direction. No need to pull changes when doing a commit. mtn sync
is still called in rcs_update.
- Support for viewing differences via patches using viewmtn.
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.)
since this leads to too many problems with web caching, especially with
inlined pages. Properly solving this would involve tracking every page
that contributes to a page's content and using the youngest of them all,
as well as special cases for things like the version plugin, and it's just
too complex to do.

* meta: To support the pagespec functions, metadata about pages has to be
retained as pagestate.
* Fix encoding bug when pagestate values contained spaces.
This makes it a lot quicker to deal with lots of recentchanges pages
appearing and disappearing. It avoids needing to clutter up pagespecs with
exclusions for those pages, by making normal pagespecs not match them.
Add a prefix_directives option to the setup file to turn this syntax

* opendiscussion: allow editing of the toplevel discussion page,

* decode_form_utf8 only fixed the utf-8 encoding for fields that were
registered at the time it was called, which was before the
formbuilder_setup hook. Fields added by the hook didn't get decoded.
But it can't be put after the hook either, since plugins using the hook
need to be able to use form values. To fix this dilemma, it's been changed
to a decode_cgi_utf8, which is called on the cgi query object, before the
form is set up, and decodes *all* cgi parameters.

* aggregate: Avoid uninitialised value warning when removing a feed that

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:

so that more than one plugin can use this hook.
I believe this is a safe change, since only passwordauth uses this hook.
(If some other plugin already used it, it would have broken passwordauth!)
It would be better if it were a formbuilder hook. But the formbuilder hook
is wacked.. I may need to change how that hook works, which would mean
changing the only current user of it, passwordauth).

showed up where a web edit that added a page caused a near-concurrent
web edit to fail in will_render. While it would be hard to reproduce this,
my analysis is that the failing cgi started first, loaded the index file
(prior to locking) then the other cgi created the new page and rendered
it, and then the failing cgi choked on the new file when _it_ tried to
render it. Ensuring that the index file is loaded after taking the lock

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.
instead of over and over. This is up to 8 times faster than before!
(This could have introduced some subtle bugs, so it needs to be tested
extensively.)
an exception for the wiki's toplevel index page, which will still use the
wikiname as the feed title.
* Sanitize possibly problimatic characters out of the polygen grammar names,
just in case. Should not be exploitable anyway, since it only tries to run
polygen after finding the specified grammar file.
* Add a shortcut plugin, inspired by Victor Moral's contributed shortcuts
plugin, but featuring a more ikiwiki-ish syntax and with shortcuts that
can be configured using a page in wiki.
* Add feeds=no option to inline preprocessor directive to turn off all types
of feeds. feeds=rss will still work, and feeds=atom was also added, for
fine control.
* $IkiWiki::version now holds the program version, and is accessible to
plugins.
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.
using HTTP Authentication instead of ikiwiki's built in authentication.
Useful for eg, large sites with their own previously existing user auth
setup. Closes: #384534
* chomp trailing newlines at the end of templates read in by the template
plugin, to allow use of the template preprocessor directive in
whitespace-sensative situations. Closes: #387073
- Plugins should not need to load IkiWiki::Render to get commonly
used functions, so moved some functions from there to IkiWiki.
- Picked out the set of functions and variables that most plugins
use, documented them, and made IkiWiki export them by default,
like a proper perl module should.
- Use the other functions at your own risk.
- This is not quite complete, I still have to decide whether to
export some other things.
* Changed all plugins included in ikiwiki to not use "IkiWiki::" when
referring to stuff now exported by the IkiWiki module.
* Anyone with a third-party ikiwiki plugin is strongly enrouraged
to make like changes to it and avoid use of non-exported symboles from
"IkiWiki::".
* Link debian/changelog and debian/news to NEWS and CHANGELOG.
* Support hyperestradier version 1.4.2, which adds a new required phraseform
setting.
* otl2hmtl can't be safely used with IPC::Open2 since it sometimes
writes before consuming its whole stdin. Avoid this deadlock.
* Fix alt tags for outline checkboxes.
cookies to only be sent over ssl connections to avoid interception.
* Factor out the cgi header printing code into a new function.
* Fix preferences page on anonok wikis; still need to sign in to get
to the preferences page.
This allows passing a wikilink inside a parameter to a preprocessor
directive without it being expanded to html, and leaking out of the
parameter, which had required some non-obvious use of triple-quoting
to avoid. Note that any preprocessor plugins that output something
that looks like a wikilink will now have it treated as such; AFAIK
this doesn't change any behavior though except for the template plugin.
* Enable preprocessor directives when previewing an edit.
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.
pages.
* Change how the stylesheet url is determined in the templates: Remove
STYLEURL and add BASEURL to all templates (some already had it). This
new more general variable can be used to link to other things (eg, images)
from the template, as well as stylesheets.
Talens-Oliag. Note that this has many known issues -- see the caveats on
the plugin's page.
* Credit everyone who wrote a plugin on the plugins' wiki pages.
* If a page links to itself, mark up the link text in a span with
class="selflink" so that it can be styled. I don't have a useful style
defined for that though.
* 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.
them without annoyances.
* Suck in the page content when generating an inline archive page, to work
around the meta plugin's lack of caching of title metadata across runs.
in case it was installed as one. Then fall back to trying
/usr/bin/markdown.
* Document in install page how to install markdown, since it has no
installation procedure in the upstream tarball.
Run it with -asxhtml instead, so it will output well-formed xhtml no
matter what the input.
* Disable tidy warnings too.
* Add a new format hook, and make tidy use it, since tidy can really only
operate on and output complete html documents, not the body chunks
that sanitise gets.
* Add permalink and author support to meta plugin, affecting RSS feeds
and blog pages.
* Change titlepage() to encode utf-8 alnum characters. This is necessary
to avoid UTF-8 creeping into filenames in urls. (There are still
some other ways that it can get in.)
the current support is a crude hack due to limitations of XML::Feed:
xml:base is not supported, neither is Content-Location. And of course,
relative links in RSS feeds are ill-undefined..
* 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.
quotes and such can be represented in title tags.
* Depend and build-depend on HTML::Parser for HTML::Entities which is used
for the above.
* Make --rebuild also cause --aggregate to re-download and write aggregated
pages.
* Avoid outputting duplicate meta info.
* Include title metadata on aggregated posts for capitalised and un-munged
titles.
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.
- Adds a locale setting to setup files.
- Proper local time, if the locale configuration option is used.
- Support for UTF-8 (or ISO-8859-X) filenames in SVN. Before this patch,
commiting (or even rcs_updating) on repositories with UTF-8 filenames was
impossible.
the wikiformat plugin works. Thanks, Emanuele Aina.
* Patch from Alessandro Dotti Contra to clean up backlinks and navbar
display, running them through pagetitle. This removes ugly underscores and
other gunk from the display, much nicer. You may want to rebuild your wiki
when upgrading to get the cleanup globally.
* Pass a "destpage" parameter to preprocessor and pagetemplate hooks.
This will be the page that a source page will be part of, which is
different than the source page for inlined pages.
* Audited all plugins to endure they pass page, destpage to htmllink
appropriatly. This means inlining of various plugins will not work
properly, with correct links generated.
The meta plugin can also still be used for that, but the tag plugin
also lists a page's tags at the bottom of the page.
- Allows preprocessor directives to have parameters with no specified
value.
- Fixes preprocessor directive parameter parsing so that
foo=bar baz now means "foo=bar" and a "baz" with no value.
* Run pagetemplate hooks when inlining pages so that inlines pages also
list their tags.
* Make all plugins with pagetemplate hooks check that variables exist
on the template before setting them.
- allows preprocessor directives to have parameters with no specified
value
- fixes preprocessor directive parameter parsing so that
foo=bar baz now means "foo=bar" and a "baz" with no value
- Add a tag plugin that allows more easily tagging pages.
The meta plugin can also still be used for this.
* Noticed a bug in the wikitext markup plugin -- it made CamelCase links the
default throughout the wiki, not only on wikitext pages. Decided to call
this a feature, and split the camelcase support out into a separate plugin
that is independant of wikitext.
readable and avoid future mistakes. The patch seems to work and for the
first time I have a UTF-8 username ;-) (Faidon)
* Use form->field consistently, not form->param.
is a savings of 2 pointless fork/execs per link calculation, which
results in ~25% speedup of ikiwiki building its own doc wiki, and
about 35% speedup displaying RecentChanges!
if you'd ever want to do such a thing. Slightly tricky, since ikiwiki
defaults to not processing .html files, since w/o this plugin they would
be copied unsanitised. With this plugin, it will process, and html
sanitise, them like any other page type.
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.
flagged string even if the locale causes it to generate utf8 output,
so make sure to let perl know it should be handled as utf8. Also,
the optimised version used for standard time formats won't work if the
user has changed locale, so drop it. Thanks, Faidon Liambotis.
* Fix re-encoding of the comments field to utf8 if a commit fails
due to a conflict. Thanks, Faidon Liambotis.
* Let svn know that commits have utf8 commit messages. Thanks, Faidon
Liambotis.
* Add insane double encode/decode to utf8 around call to markdown.
This works around a truely strange bug, which is apparently a bug in
perl, which I lack space to describe here (see t/crazy-badass-perl-bug.t)
- The serious problem is that writefile() saves the content in undecoded
format in CGI, hence all (non-ascii) chars are corrupted permanently.
- Comment field in edit page is not decoded and all the non-ascii chars in
this field are corrupted as the result. We should decode it as we do it
for the content.
layer, which led to lots of problems; make it force read files as utf-8.
Closes: #373203
* writefile() likewise needs to use the utf8 output layer.
* Remove the -CSD from ikiwiki's hashbang since it's useless to have it
there.
* Revert some of the decode_utf8 changes in CGI.pm that seem unnecessary
given the readfile fix.
* Add utf-8 testcases for readfile and htmlize.
* 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.
for some handy stuff like:
- Using links as a kind of tag; creating blog pages that list all pages
containing a given tag/link or not containing some other tag.
- Subscribing to mail notifications whenever a change is made to a page
that is a backlink of page foo. Ie, "Please notify me of changes in all
pages that link to my home page in the wiki"
- Locking any pages that are linked to from a particular page, so that
lists of locks can be exposed in the wiki.
* When inlining a page in another one, links from the inlined page are now
expanded the same as they are when rendering the inlined page as a
standalone page. So rather than being expanded from the POV of the
inlining page, they are expanded from the POV of the inlined page.
For example, a link from blog/foo to "bar" will now link to blog/bar
if it exists. Previously this needed to be a link explicitly to
"blog/bar"; such links will also continue to work.
(This was slightly complex to do as the link still has to be constructed
relative to the inlining page.)
* Add a html validity check to the test suite, using the wdg-html-validator,
if available.
* Make the html valid when there is nothing in the actions list by adding an
empty <li> to the end of it.
* Reordered some function call parameters for consistency.
<span>, so pages can use <h1> internally instead of needing to use <h2>.
* Updated all of ikiwiki's own wiki pages for that.
* Add pagetemplate hook, which can be used by plugins that want to mess
around with adding new stuff to the page template.
* Remove headercontent; the search plugin now adds the search box to the
header by registering a pagetemplate hook, and other plugins should do
similarly.
