-News for ikiwiki 2.20:
-
- The template plugin has begun to htmlize the variables passed to templates.
- This is normally what you want, but to get the old behavior and get at the
- raw value, you can use `<TMPL_VAR raw_variable>` in a template.
-
-ikiwiki 2.20 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[toggleable text="""
- * inline: Add copyright/license info on a per-post basis to atom
- feeds if available. (rss doesn't allow such info on a per-post basis)
- * Also include overall copyright/license and author info in atom feeds if
- available.
- * meta: Allow copyright/license metadata to contain arbitrary markup.
- * Call preprocessor hooks in void context during the scan pass. This allows
- the hook to determine if it's just scanning, and avoid expensive
- operations.
- * img: Detect scan mode and avoid generating and writing the image file
- during it, for a 2x speedup.
- * meta: Run in scan mode again (more intelligently) and re-add support for
- meta link.
- * Fix support for the case where metadata appears after an inline directive
- that needs to use it. This was broken in version 2.16.
- * template: Remove bogus htmlize pass added in 2.16.
- * template: Htmlize template variables, but also provide a raw version
- via `<TMPL_VAR raw_variable>`.
- * When htmlizing text, if the input is a single line with no newline,
- and the htmlizer (such as markdown and textile) generates a html
- paragraph, remove it. This allows removing several hacks from other
- plugins that htmlize fragements of pages.
- * In preferences, allow the subscriptions and email fields to be cleared.
- * teximg: Fix to support the same formula on multiple pages."""]]

-News for ikiwiki 2.30:
-
- Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the
- spirit of a wiki compiler? 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.

- * [ Joey Hess ]
- * Old versions of git-init don't support --git-dir or GIT\_DIR with
- --bare. Change ikiwiki-makerepo to use a method that should work with
- those older versions too.
- * aggregate: Don't let feeds set creation times for pages in the future.
- * Add full parser for git diff-tree output (Brian Downing)
- * aggregate: Fork a child process to handle the aggregation. 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. Thanks also to bma for
- his independent work on bzr support.
- * Copyright file updates."""]]

+News for ikiwiki 2.40:
+
+ ikiwiki now has an new syntax for preprocessor directives, using the
+ prefix '!':
+ * [[!directive ...]]
+ This new syntax no longer relies on spaces to distinguish between
+ wikilinks and preprocessor directives. 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.
+

+ * [ Josh Triplett ]
+ * Add new preprocessor directive syntax¸ using a '!' prefix. 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.
+ * [ Joey Hess ]
+ * Danish translation update from Jonas Smedegaard. Closes: #[465152](http://bugs.debian.org/465152)
+ * Generate XML RPC messages with the encoding set to utf-8 instead
+ of XML::RPC's default of us-ascii. Allows interoperation with
+ python's xmlrpc library, which threw invalid encoding exceptions and
+ caused the rst plugin to hang.
+ * Add the linkify and scan hooks. 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 &lt;base&gt; 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). Userdirs
+ were still being offered as an option there, remove them.
+ * Fix a bug where user A created a page concurrently with user B, and
+ when B previewed it would redirect B to A's new page, losing B's work.
+ Instead, don't redirect and let conflict handling resolve it.
+ * monotone: Add code to default mergerc file to run
+ \_MTN/ikiwiki-netsync-hook when a commit is merged in from the net.
+ * tla: Remove call to escapeHTML when constructing recentchanges message;
+ the html is escaped at a different level. Closes: #[466495](http://bugs.debian.org/466495)
+ * bzr, mercurial: Remove unused import of escapeHTML.
+ * Fix another preview will\_render bug. 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. (Adeodato Simó)"""]] \ No newline at end of file
