ikiwiki version 1.29 is released.
Wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your wiki
in `/etc/ikiwiki/wikilist` this will be done automatically when the Debian
package is upgraded. Or use `ikiwiki-mass-rebuild` to force a rebuild.
There is a change to the plugin interface in this version. Plugins that use
`%renderedfiles will` need to be updated, as the hash's values are now arrays
of rendered files. Plugins that cause a page to render additional files
should use the new `will_render` function to register the files.
Changelog for this release:
* Patch from Paul Tötterman to use CP in the Makefile.
* Patch from Alec Berryman adding a http\_auth config item that allows
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](http://bugs.debian.org/384534)
* Change %renderedfiles to store an array of files rendered from a given
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.
As few plugins use %renderedfiles I haven't done anything else to ensure
compatability of old plugins.
* Add will\_render function to the plugin interface, used to register that a
page renders a destination file, and do some security checks. Previously
but no longer rendered files will be cleaned up.
* Use will\_render in the inline and linkmap plugins.
* You will need to rebuild your wiki on upgrade to this version.
* Atom feed support based on a patch by Clint Adams.
* Add feeds=no option to inline preprocessor directive to turn off all types
of feeds.
* $IkiWiki::version now holds the program version, and is accessible to
plugins.
* Make the aggregate plugin emphasize error messages.
* Patch from Recai to limit recentchanges to displaying max 10 files for a
given changeset (to avoid large number of file changes excessively
bloating the page).
