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.
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.
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.
Can't use htmllink in userlink due to it being called from recentchanges
in cases where there is no configured url. It seems easist, at least for now,
to not linkify user names in this case. I don't think I've ever clicked on such
a link anyway.
Might revisit this later.
Add a prefix_directives option to the setup file to turn this syntax
on; currently defaults to false, for backward compatibility. Support
optional '!' prefix even with prefix_directives off, and use that in
the underlay to support either setting of prefix_directives. Add NEWS
entry with migration information.

* When usedirs is disabled, link direct to index.html files, not to
directories, to improve browsing of file:// urls.

htmllink needs to do it because it uses the basename of the link as the link
text
bestlink needs to do it because it is not always called from htmllink

* map: Remove common prefixes and don't over-indent.
* Add class option to htmllink().
* Plugins can add new directories to the search path with the add_underlay
function.
* Split out smiley underlay files into a separate underlay, so if the plugin
isn't used, the wiki isn't bloated with all those files.
old files.
* Change where the img plugin puts scaled images. It's better to make the
scaled images subpages of the page that embeds them, rather than putting
them alongside the original image, since if two pages scale the same image
the same way, this prevents complications in dealing with two pages
creating the same file. The move will be handled transparently, though you
might want to rebuild your wiki to make it occur in one step.
until the wiki is building and already locked, unless it's aggregating.
When aggregating, it does not wait for the lock if it cannot get it, and
instead exits, to prevent aggregating processes from piling up.
(Get a good message when a PageSpec fails due to a negated success by
creating success objects with a reason string, which morph into failure
objects when negated.)
scalar context, evaluates to a reason why the match failed.
* Add testpagespec plugin, which might be useful to see why a pagespec isn't
matching something.
for extended pagespecs. The old calling convention will still work for
back-compat for now.
* The calling convention for functions in the IkiWiki::PageSpec namespace
has changed so they are passed named parameters.
* Plugin interface version increased to 2.00 since I don't anticipate any
more interface changes before 2.0.
on and supported creating it (especially Tumov). This adds a "usedirs"
option that makes ikiwiki use foo/index.html instead of foo.html as
output page names. It is not yet enabled by default.
* Renamed %oldpagemtime to a more accurately named %pagemtime and fix it to
actually store pages' mtimes.
* Add "mtime" sort parameter to inline plugin.
that given link points based on the page doing the linking. Note that this
could make such PageSpecs match different things than before, if you
relied on the old behavior of them only matching the raw link text.
* This required changing the match_* interface, adding a third parameter.
* Allow link() PageSpecs to match relative, as is allowed with globs.a
* Add postform option to inline plugin.
* Add an bug tracker to the softwaresite example.
were titlepage escaped in the urls, and then doubly escaped by the CGI
when editing. To fix this, I removed the titlepage escaping in the edit
urls.
* That means that *every edit link* on the wiki is potentially changed.
Rebuilding wikis on upgrade to this version therefore necessary; enabled
that in postinst.
previous ugly hack used to avoid writing rss feeds in previews.
* Fix the img plugin to avoid overwriting images in previews. Instead it
does all the work to make sure the resizing works, and dummys up a resized
image using width and height attributes.
* Also fixes img preview display, the links were wrong in preview before.
commit hook, it was possible for one CGI to race another one and "win"
the commit of both their files. This race has been fixed by adding a new
commitlock, which when locked by the CGI, disables the commit hook
(except for commit mails). The CGI then takes care of the updates the
commit hook would have done.
parameters remain the same, but additional options are now passed in using
named parameters.
* Change plugin interface version to 1.02 to reflect this change.
* Add a new anchor option to htmllink. Thanks Ben for the idea.
* Support anchors in wikilinks.
* Add a "more" plugin based on one contributed by Ben to allow implementing
those dreaded "Read more" links in blogs.
including out of disk space situations. ikiwiki should never leave
truncated files, and if the error occurs during a web-based file edit,
the user will be given an opportunity to retry.
Inspired by the many ways Moin Moin destroys itself when out of disk. :-)
* Fix syslogging of errors.
* Add a "conditional" plugin, which allows displaying text if a condition
is true. It is enabled by default so conditional can be used in the
basewiki.
* Use conditionals in the template for plugins, so that plugin pages
say if they're currently enabled or not, and in various other places
in the wiki.
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.
* Fix code to make absolute urls for rss feeds, was missing some urls.
* Fix double-escaping of html entities in titles etc in rss feeds
that occured if escaped characters were present in the page filename.
manipulate.
* Only exclude rss and atom files from processing if the inline plugin
is enabled and that feed type is enabled. Else it's just a copyable file
type.
* Move rss and atom option handling code into the inline plugin.
* Applied a rather old patch from Recai to fix the "pruning is too strict"
issue. Now you can have wiki source directories inside dotdirs and the
like, if you want.
* Introduce the nicebundle. This is a kind of plugin, that just enables
many other plugins. It's an easy way to boost ikiwiki from its default,
basic wiki, to a full-featured wiki, without manually picking the right
set of plugins. New plugins will be added to the nicebundle from time to
time.
nothing more spohisticated will be needed.
* Add formbuilder_setup and formbuilder hooks.
* Split out a passwordauth module, that holds all the traditional password
based authentication etc code. It's enabled by default, but can be disabled
if you want only openid or some other auth method.
* Web commits by OpenID users will record the full OpenID url for the user,
but in recentchanges, these urls will be converted to a simplified display
form+link.
* Modified svn, git, tla backends to recognise such web commits.
* Use precalculated backlinks info when determining if files need an update
due to a page they link to being added/removed. Mostly significant if
there are lots of pages.
* Remove duplicate link info when saving index. In some cases it could
pile up rather badly. (Probably not the best way to deal with this
problem.)
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.
* 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
- 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.
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.
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.
* 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.
* 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.)
* 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.
- 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.
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!
