Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is - now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds. - Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes - to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users. - - All 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. - - With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system - is showing its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for - various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED - from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be - able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed. - - The "svnrepo" and "notify" fields in setup files are no longer used, and - silently ignored. You may want to remove them from your setup file. - -ikiwiki 2.30 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]] -[[toggleable text=""" - * [ Joey Hess ] - * Old versions of git-init don't support --git-dir or GIT\_DIR with - --bare.

This simplifies - the code, since that process can change internal state as needed, and - it will automatically be cleaned up for the parent process, which proceeds - to render the changes. - * [ Josh Triplett ] - * Add trailing comma to commented-out umask in sample ikiwiki.setup, so - that uncommenting it does not break the setup file. - * [ Joey Hess ] - * inline: The template can check for FIRST and LAST, which will be - set for the first and last inlined page. Useful for templates that build - tables and the like. - * prettydate,ddate: Don't ignore time formats passed to displaytime - function. - * Pages with extensions starting with "\_" are internal-use, and will - not be rendered or web-edited, or matched by normal pagespecs. - * Add "internal()" pagespec that matches internal-use pages. - * RecentChanges is now a static html page, that's updated whenever a commit - is made to the wiki. It's built as a blog using inline, so it can have - an rss feed that users can subscribe to. - * Removed support for sending commit notification mails. Along with it went - the svnrepo and notify settings, though both will be ignored if left in - setup files. Also gone with it is the "user()" pagespec. - * Add refresh hook. - * meta: Add pagespec functions to match against title, author, authorurl, - 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. - * Add support for bzr, written by Jelmer Vernooij.

Thus, wikilinks can use spaces + in their link text, and preprocessor directives without arguments (such + as "toc") need not use a trailing space. + To enable the new syntax, set prefix\_directives to true in your ikiwiki + config. For backward compatibility with existing wikis, + prefix\_directives currently defaults to false. In ikiwiki 3.0, + prefix\_directives will default to true, and wikis which have not yet + converted to the new syntax will need to set prefix\_directives to false + in their setup files. + To convert your wiki to the new syntax, ikiwiki provides a new script + ikiwiki-transition. It will convert preprocessor directives in + all files given on the command line. To convert an entire wiki: + find wikidir/ -type f -name '*.mdwn' -print0 | xargs -0 ikiwiki-transition prefix\_directives + Even with prefix\_directives disabled, ikiwiki now allows an optional '!' + prefix on preprocessor directives (but still requires a space). Thus, a + directive which uses a '!' prefix and contains a space will work with + ikiwiki 2.40 and newer, regardless of the value of prefix\_directives. + This allows the underlay to work with all ikiwikis. + +ikiwiki 2.40 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]] +[[toggleable text=""" + * [ Josh Triplett ] + * Add new preprocessor directive syntax¸ using a '!' prefix.

These hooks can be used to implement + custom, first-class types of wikilinks. + * Move standard wikilink implementation to a new link plugin, which + will of course be enabled by default. + * camelcase: Convert to use new linkify and scan hooks rather than the old + hack. + * Setting NOTAINT=1 had no effect when building ikiwiki itself, fix this. + * Depend on HTML::Scrubber, since the scrubber is enabled by default and + dies if its can't be loaded. + * The search plugin needs to override <base> to point to the directory + containing ikiwiki.cgi, but this should not change the urls to the style + sheets etc. Add a new forcebareurl parameter to misctemplate to allow + it to do that. + * Preview limits the page dropdown to what's selected previously + (as preserving the full list across preview would be tricky).

This one involved inline, + 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. + * Disable taint checking for all builds as people keep complaining about it, + and since all versions of perl seem to be hopelessly broken. + * Fix links generated by preprocessor directives when previewing. + * inline: When forcing urls absolute for rss feeds, skip mailto and other + such urls. + * ikiwiki-makerepo: Don't fail if the third argument ends in a slash. + * Allow colons in URLs after the first slash.
