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.
Also, removed obsolte para about using the prefs page to configure locked
pages, that interface is obsolete, hidden by default, and the locked_pages
setup file setting is used instead.
Reasons include:
- easier to type
- might want postprocessor directives again sometime, and listdirectives
can then use the directive/* files for either
- that it's done as a preprocessor step is an internal detail (and not a
very accurate one, really :-)
available templates. Rename the old templates page to wikitemplates.
* Include the note template in the basewiki.
* Add a popup template in the basewiki. CSS based on some by Martin Krafft.
* Make the note, popup, and plugin templates detect missing variables and be
self-documenting, listing the available variables.
edited.
* Move code forcing signing before edit to a new "signinedit" plugin, and
code checking for locked pages into a new "lockedit" plugin. Both are
enabled by default.
* Remove the anonok config setting. This is now implemented by a new
"anonok" plugin. Anyone with a wiki allowing anonymous edits should
change their configs to enable this new plugin.
* Add an opendiscussion plugin that allows anonymous users to edit
discussion pages, on a wiki that is otherwise wouldn't allow it.
* Lots of CGI code reorg and cleanup.
* Add examples page with some examples of things that can be done using
ikiwiki, like a weblog. The examples can be copied into a user's wiki
for a quick start, without needing to learn everything about how to put
them together.
* 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.
* 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.
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.
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.
