MoinMoin Version History

 ========================

 Please note: Starting from the MoinMoin version you used previously, you

 should read all more recent entries (or at least everything marked with HINT).

 This release has known bugs (see MoinMoin:MoinMoinBugs), but we think it is

 already better than the previous stable release. Our release policy is not

 trying to make a "perfect release" (as that release might NEVER get released),

 but to make progress and don't delay releases too much.

 Known main issues:

   * The GUI WYSIWYG editor has still some issues and limitations.

     If you can't live with those, you can simply switch it off by using:

     editor_force = True

     editor_default = 'text'  # internal default, just for completeness

 Current:

   Fixes:

     * Fixed XSS issue in rst parser (CVE-2011-1058).

     * PackagePages: avoid strange exception in zipfile.py for pre-1980

       timestamps.

     * revert action: Catch and display all SaveErrors when revert failed

     * ldap_login: assign server early, it is used in exception handler

 Version 1.8.8:

   Fixes:

     * Fixed XSS issues (see MoinMoinBugs/1.9.2UnescapedInputForThemeAddMsg).

     * Fixed XSS in Despam action (CVE-2010-0828).

     * wikiutil.clean_input: avoid crash if it gets str type

     * Add RenderAsDocbook to actions_excluded if we have no python-xml

     * AttachFile._build_filelist: verifies readonly flag for unzip file link

     * attachUrl: fix wrongly generated tickets (e.g. for AttachList macro)

     * MoinMoin.util.filesys.dc* (dircache can't work reliably):

       * disable usage of dircache, deprecate dc* functions

       * remove all calls to filesys.dc* (dclistdir, dcdisable)

     * Fixed crash, see MoinMoinPatch/IncludeMacroWithDocBookFormatter

     * Avoid hardly recoverable crashes if #format specification is invalid

     * Fixed info action: AttachFile sub-actions that needed a ticket did not

       work (e.g. do=del).

   New features:

     * auth.ldap_login: add report_invalid_credentials param to control wrong

       credentials error message (typically used when using multiple ldap

       authenticators)

 Version 1.8.7:

   Fixes:

   * Fixed major security issues in miscellaneous parts of moin.

     HINT: if you have removed superuser configuration to workaround the issue

     (following our security advisory), you may re-add it after installing this

     moin release. If you don't need superuser capabilities often, it might be

     wise to not have superusers configured all the time, though.

   * Improved package security: cfg.packagepages_actions_excluded excludes

     unsafe or otherwise questionable package actions by default now.

   * wiki parser: fixed transclusion of (e.g. video) attachments from other

     pages.

   * Fixed edit locking for non-logged in editors and cfg.log_remote_addr=False.

   * xmlrpc:

     * Process attachname in get/putAttachment similarly.

     * revertPage: convert pagename to internal representation.

   * Fixed config.umask usage for page packages.

   * Fixed usage of i18n.wikiLanguages() on class level (moved to method),

     failed when tools import the module (e.g. pydoc -k foo).

   * SubProcess: fixed win32-specific parts, fixed imports (fixes calling of

     external xapian index filters)

 Version 1.8.6:

   Bug fixes:

   * Xapian indexing / indexing filters:

     * fix deadlocks with well- and misbehaving external filters

     * work around indexing run crashing when encountering encoding problems

       with non-ascii filenames

     * OpenOffice/OpenDocument filters: catch UnicodeDecodeErrors (happens

       with password protected files)

   * i18n: check if languages is not initialized yet, don't crash

   * http_redirect: use 301 redirect for some cases

   * do not use httponly session cookies, makes trouble with twikidraw and ACLs

   * GetText2 macro: fix for named placeholder

   * Fix SHA -> SSHA password hash upgrade for old user profiles.

   * abort RenamePage if renaming of main page fails (do not try to rename

     subpages)

   New features:

   * search: improve search result ordering

   * add MS Powerpoint indexing filter (needs catppt from catdoc package)

   * migration scripts: make finding damaged edit-log entries easier

   * SubscribeUser action: support username regexes and unsubscribing.

     Usage (enter this into the input form field you get after invoking

     SubscribeUser action from the "More Actions" menu:

     [+|-][re:]username[,username,...] 

     +username: subscribes user <username> (+ is optional/default)

     -username: unsubscribes user <username>

     +re:username_re: subscribes users who match <username_re> regex.

     -re:username_re: unsubscribes users who match <username_re> regex.

 Version 1.8.5:

   Bug fixes:

     * Attachment links: fix processing of attributes (e.g. 'target', 'title')

     * Upgrade FCKeditor from 2.6.4 to 2.6.4.1.

     * PDF embedding: fix html, works better with PDF browser plugins now.

     * Fix typo in rightsidebar CSS.

     * Action revert: avoids reverting to a deleted current revision.

     * Action diff: enable prev/next button only in the range of given revisions.

     * Add a Auto-Submitted: auto-generated header to generated mails.

     * Include comment in email notifies.

     * mailimport: fix endless looping while trying to import a forwarded mail.

     * fuid: keep same fake_mtime for intervals of max_staleness duration.

     * Fixes a bug with empty list items in the GUI editor.

     * Improve filesys.rename compatibility code (win32).

     * Fix locking for CacheEntry.

     * Xapian indexing: catch exception when a bad zip file is encountered.

     * openidrp / botbouncer: fix param count for CancelLogin().

   New features:

     * Added CAS authentication.

     * Added httponly cookie support and use it for session cookie.

   Other changes:

     * HTTP auth: added debug logging.

     * Minor LDAP auth improvements.

     * Data browser widget:

       * Add (h)column<idx> css class to make it styleable.

       * Include only necessary autofilter options.

     * moin maint cleancache purges now drafts, too.

     * Add gopher and apt protocols to url_schemas.

     * Add .csv, .flv, .swf to MIMETYPES_MORE.

 Version 1.8.4:

   Bug fixes:

     * ACL security: fix bug in hierarchical ACL processing, more restrictive

       sub page ACLs did not work if the current user name did not give a match

       within the sub page ACL (instead, the less restrictive parent page ACL

       was used).

       Non-hierarchical ACL processing (the default) is NOT affected.

     * Creole parser: fix spaces in multiline elements.

     * Use msie.css only for Internet Explorer older than version 8, fixes

       e.g. the double rendering of link icons.

     * http auth: do auth_type comparisons case-insensitively (spec-compliant)

   New features:

     * EmbedObject macro: changed default width value for PDF files to 100%

                          (use a recent Adobe Reader to make this work).

     * CopyPage action: added a TextCha for it

   Other changes:    

     * Creole parser: Add second license: BSD

 Version 1.8.3:

   Bug fixes:

     * AttachFile XSS fixes: move escaping to error_msg / upload_form

     * AttachFile move: add more escaping (maybe not XSS exploitable though)

     * email attachments import with xapian indexing enabled: fix AttributeError

     * fix wrong links in attachment notifications

     * AttachFile do=view: quote filename and pagename params for EmbedObject

       macro call

     * AttachFile: fix exception when someone just clicks on upload, without

       giving a file

     * ldap_login: use None as default value for ssl certs/keys (using '' for

       the pathes lets it fail with Connect Error)

     * release edit lock if someone saves an unchanged page

     * fix sendmail.encodeAddress (do not [QP] encode blanks, do not un-

       necessarily use [QP] encoding for pure ascii mail addresses)

     * Fixed docs bug: see HINT about secrets configuration at version 1.8.0

       (1.8.0 Other changes).

     * backup action: add 'self' dummy argument for backup_exclude function

     * login action: fix formatting of error messages

     * unsubscribe action: add msg types so icons get displayed

     * fix quoting for pagehits stats (info action) - was not working for pagenames with blanks

     * macro.TableOfContents: bug fix for MoinMoinBugs/TableOfContentsIgnoresSectionNumbersPragma

   New features:

     * added modernized_cms theme

     * use url_prefix_fckeditor if you don't want to use the builtin FCKeditor

       of moin, but a separate one at some specific url

     * action.Load: added textcha feature

     * add mumble protocol (nice and good quality F/OSS VOIP conference chat sw)

     * ldap auth: new name_callback param to create a custom wiki username (not

       the ldap login username).

   Other changes:

     * add compatibility code for set to xapwrap.index (fix py 2.6 warnings)

     * wikiutil: MIMETYPES_MORE extended for .md5 as text/plain

 Version 1.8.2:

   Bug fixes:

     * Fix AttachFile and antispam XSS issues.

     * Modernized, modern and rightsidebar themes: make nonexistent or

       badinterwiki links gray also when they are already visited.

     * Fix anchor parsing for interwiki links and #redirect processing

       instruction.

     * user.apply_recovery_token: key must be of type string (for Python 2.6).

     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/GuiEditorBreaksIndentedTable.

     * Fix autofilter javascript breakage caused by including a databrowser

       widget.

     * Use per-wiki i18n cache (fixes wrong links to other farm wikis).

     * Made cfg.interwikiname and cfg.user_homewiki unicode objects (str only

       worked for ascii names).

     * Xapian search: fixed historysearch.

     * Xapian search indexing:

       * Fix index updating for trivial changes.

       * With history search enabled and in update mode, do not try to re-index

         old page revisions again.

       * With history search enabled, index page attachments only once.

       * Fix last modified time of xapian index (shown on SystemInfo page).

     * Make logging handlers defined in logging.handlers work (e.g.

       class=handlers.RotatingFileHandler)

     * Jabber notifications:

       * Use an RFC compliant message type.

       * Fix user creation notifications.

     * OpenID: Compatibility fix for python-openid 2.x.x (also works with

       1.x.x), fixes crash when trying to associate moin user to OpenID.

     * Have a wikiserverconfig.py in wiki/server/ so setup.py copies it.

     * Fixed inconsistent handling of fragments / anchor IDs:

       * Fixed creole and wiki parser, other parsers might need similar fixes.

       * IDs with blanks, non-ASCII chars etc. are now sanitized in the same way

         for links as well as for link targets, so the user editing a page won't

         have to bother with it.

         E.g. [[#123 foo bar]] will link to:

         * <<Anchor(123 foo bar)>> (moin) or {{#123 foo bar}} (creole)

         * headline = 123 foo bar = (moin / creole)

         Simple rule: if the link and the target are consistent, it should work.

       * The creole wiki parser created non-human-readable sha1 heading IDs

         before 1.8.2, now it creates same (sometimes readable) heading IDs as

         the moin wiki parser.

       * TitleIndex/WordIndex now also use IDs sanitized in that way internally.

       HINT: if you manually worked around the inconsistencies/bugs before, you

             likely have to remove those workarounds now. Same thing if you used

             creole's sha1 heading IDs or IDs on TitleIndex/WordIndex.

   Other changes:

     * Updated FCKeditor to 2.6.4 (== many bug fixes in the GUI editor).

     * Enhanced privacy by a new setting: cfg.log_remote_addr (default: True),

       it controls whether moin logs the remote's IP/hostname to edit-log and

       event-log. Use log_remote_addr = False to enhance privacy.

     * Streamline attachment_drawing formatter behaviour.

     * Search results: only redirect to a single search result for titlesearch

       (fuzzy goto functionality), but not for fulltext search results.

 Version 1.8.1:

   Bug fixes:

     * Workaround win32 locking problems (caused by spurious access denied

       exceptions on that platform).

     * Fix unicode errors that happened when password checker failed a password

     * WikiConfig/WikiConfigHelp: fixed wrong language table headings

     * Themes: make the margins around trail line work properly

     * "modernized" theme:

       * make broken links gray

       * add new right/center/left/justify css classes

       * don't force Arial

     * Standalone server: be more specific when catching socket exceptions,

       treat socket errors in http header emission in the same way.

     * GUI editor:

       * Fix heading levels when inserting new headings.

       * Fix headers already sent exception when using e.g. edit LOCKing.

     * Xapian indexing: fixed missing import for execfilter (only happened on

       non-posix platforms like win32)

   * New features:

     * Themes:

      * Make the TOC shrinkwrap, add white background to navigation macro.

        The table of contents looked bad spanning the whole width of the page.

        It's made to shrinkwrap now, so it will only get as wide, as the longest

        heading. We use display:inline-table, so this won't work in MS IE6,

        which still displays it the old way.

        Navigation macro now has a white background, to make it more readable

        when it's floating over a pre block or TOC.

      * Make the numbers in lists in table of contents right-aligned.

      * Refactored and extended theme.html_stylesheets() to make alternate

        stylesheets possible. Stylesheet definitions now can either be:

        2-tuples: (media, href)  # backwards compatibility

        or:

        3-tuples: (media, href, title)  # new, for defining alternate stylesheets

        This works within themes as well as in the wiki config.

        See also: http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/alternatives.html

 Version 1.8.0:

   Note: This is a reduced CHANGES, ommitting details from rc/beta test and

         also less interesting minor changes and fixes. It shows changes

         relative to 1.7.2 release.

         If you want to see full detail, read it there:

         http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.8/file/6130eab15936/docs/CHANGES

   New Features: ==============================================================

     * HINT: New "modernized" theme - if you use "modern" [default], try:

       theme_default = 'modernized'

       If you find problems with "modernized", please report them because we

       want to use it as default theme in future.

     * GUI Editor:

       * upgraded to use FCKEditor version 2.6.3

       * user can insert and modify various types of MoinMoin links

     * New plugin_dirs setting to allow multiple plugin pathes (additional to

       the automatically configured plugin_dir [default: data_dir/plugin]).

     * @EMAIL@ expands to a MailTo macro call with the obfuscated email address

       of the current user.

     * New macros "WikiConfig" and "WikiConfigHelp".

     * Per-parser quickhelp, 'quickhelp' class variable of parser class.

     * Secure session cookies for https (see cfg.cookie_secure).

     * Added left/center/right/justify css classes to builtin themes.

       Use them like:

       {{{#!wiki justify

       this content is justified....

       }}}

   Removed Features: ==========================================================

     * HINT: url_prefix setting (use url_prefix_static or just use the default)

     * traceback_log_dir setting (we just use logging.exception)

     * editor_quickhelp setting (replaced by per-parser quickhelp)

     * Restoring backups with the backup action and related settings (while

       creating backups is no big issue and should work OK, restoring them

       had fundamental issues related to overwriting or not-overwriting of

       existing files - thus we removed the "restore" part of the action and

       recommend that you just contact the wiki server admin in case of trouble,

       give him your wiki backup file and let him carefully restore it.)

     * Removed unmaintained DesktopEdition (moin 1.5.x style) and phpwiki

       migration scripts from contrib/ directory.

   Bug Fixes: =================================================================

     * GUI Editor - fixed lots of bugs.

     * Fixing https detection for servers using HTTPS=1 and also for WSGI

       servers not using HTTPS/SSL_ environment, but just wsgi.url_scheme.

     * Search results: link to 'view' rendering of found attachments.

     * Standalone server: fix serverClass and interface argument processing,

       announce used serverClass in log output.

     * mointwisted: fixed Twisted start script.

     * Logging:

       * Use logging framework for messages emitted by warnings module (e.g.

         DeprecationWarning), silence some specific warnings.

       * Removed superfluous linefeeds in timing log output.

     * Bug fix for language not installed (MoinMoinBugs/WikiLanguageNotDefined).

     * Fixed editbar hidden comment link cosmetics for sidebar themes (hide the

       complete list element).

     * MoinMoinBugs/DoubleScriptNameInSitemap (fixing urls given by sitemap

       action, if the wiki does not run in the root url of the site)

     * Fixed backup action configuration (broke on win32).

     * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/PackagesAddRevision.

     * SyncPages: add workaround for callers calling log_status with encoded

       bytestrings.

     * Fixed dbw_hide_buttons javascript.

     * HINT: Jabber bot can now be configured to use an authentication realm

       which is different from the server's hostname; the xmpp_node

       configuration parameter can now contain a full JID and the xmpp_resource

       parameter is no longer supported.

   Other Changes: =============================================================

     * HINT: new configuration for misc. secrets, please use either:

           secrets = "MySecretLooongString!" # one secret for everything

       or:

           secrets = {

               'xmlrpc/ProcessMail': 'yourmailsecret', # for mailimport

               'xmlrpc/RemoteScript': 'yourremotescriptsecret',

               'action/cache': 'yourcachesecret', # unguessable cache keys

               'wikiutil/tickets': 'yourticketsecret', # edit tickets

               'jabberbot': 'yourjabberbotsecret', # jabberbot communication

           }

       Secret strings must be at least 10 chars long.

       Note: mail_import_secret setting is gone, use

             secrets["xmlrpc/ProcessMail"] instead of it.

       Note: jabberbot secret setting is gone, use

             secrets["jabberbot"] instead of it.

     * HINT: user_autocreate setting was removed from wiki configuration and

       replaced by a autocreate=<boolean> parameter of the auth objects that

       support user profile auto creation.

     * moin import irclog: use irssi parser to format logs, mapped .irc

       extension to text/plain mimetype.

     * HINT: backup action: backup_exclude (default: "do not exclude anything")

       is now a function f(filename) that tells whether a file should be

       excluded from backup.

       You can get the old regex exclusion functionality by using:

       backup_exclude = re.compile(your_regex).search

       Be careful with your regex, you might need to use re.escape() to escape

       characters that have a special meaning in regexes (e.g.: \.[] etc.).

       If in doubt, maybe just leave backup_exclude at the default and don't

       exclude anything.

     * Speed up javascript comments processing on IE by getElementsByClassName()

     * Added sk (slovak) i18n, updated i18n.

 1.7.3:

   New features:

     * Secure session cookies for https, see cfg.cookie_secure.

     * Add left/center/right/justify classes to builtin themes.

   Fixes:

     * Python 2.3 compatibility fixes.

     * Fixed https detection for servers using HTTPS=1 and also for wsgi servers

       not using HTTPS/SSL_ environment, but just wsgi.url_scheme.

     * GUI editor:

       * Fix crash when editing a page with non-ASCII pagename and inserting a link

       * Fix "headers already sent exception" with edit LOCKs.

     * i18n.__init__: Bug fix for wiki language not installed.

     * Fixed URLs given by sitemap action, if the wiki does not run at / URL.

     * Search results: link to 'view' rendering of found attachments

     * Logging:    

       * Removed superfluous linefeed in timing log output.

       * Use logging framework for messages emitted by warnings module (e.g.

         DeprecationWarning), silence some specific warnings.

     * Fix dbw_hide_buttons javascript.

     * Standalone server:

       * fix serverClass argument processing

       * fix --interface="" argument processing

     * mointwisted:

       * added missing pidFile parameter

       * better use Config.name for pidFile to avoid conflicts and keep same

         behaviour as in the past

     * Jabber bot can now be configured to use an authentication realm which

       is different from the server's hostname

 Version 1.7.2:

   Fixes:

     * Fix leakage of edit-log file handles (leaked 1 file handle / request!).

     * Fix for MoinMoinBugs/SystemAdminMailAccountData (using POST and forms)

     * Wiki parser: avoid IndexError for empty #! line

     * MonthCalendar macro: fix parameter parsing / url generation

     * Xapian indexing filters (MoinMoin/filter/ or data/plugin/filter/):

       Some indexing filter scripts (e.g. for MS Word documents or PDF files)

       failed on windows because of the single-quote quoting we used (that

       works on Linux and other Posix systems). The fix introduces platform-

       dependant automatic quoting, using double-quotes on win32 and single-

       quotes on posix.

       HINT: if you use own filter plugins based on execfilter, you have to

       update them as the filename quoting (was '%s') is now done automatically

       and must not be part of the command string any more (now just use %s).

       See MoinMoin/filter/ for some up-to-date code (esp. the PDF filter).

     * Prevent CategoryTemplate being listed as a category (it is a Template,

       but matched also the category regex) - added to sample wikiconfig.

     * LDAP auth: fix processing of TLS options

     * UpdateGroup xmlrpc server side: fix wrong arg count error

     * UpdateGroup client: use multicall / auth_token, refactor code so that

       updateGroup function is reusable.

     * Improve Python 2.3 compatibility, add notes where 2.4 is required.

 Version 1.7.1:

   New features:

     * New 'cache' action (see developer notes).

   Fixes:

     * Security fix: XSS fix for advanced search form

     * Avoid creation of new pagedirs with empty edit-log files by just

       accessing a non-existant page. If you used 1.7 before, you likely have

       quite some trash pagedirs now and you can clean them up by using:

       moin --config-dir=... --wiki-url=... maint cleanpage

       This will output some shell script (please review it before running!)

       that can be used to move trash pages into some trash/ directory and also

       moves deleted pages into some deleted/ directory. Maybe keep a copy of

       those directories for a while just for the case.

     * Server specific fixes:

       * standalone (wikiserver.py): fix --pidfile and --group option, fix

         operation without a wikiserverconfig.py (use builtin defaults).

       * mod_python: work around mod_python 3.3.1 problems with file uploads.

         Note: if you are still using mod_python, we strongly recommend you

 	      try out mod_wsgi (in daemon mode) - it has less bugs, better

 	      security, better separation, WSGI is a Python standard, and moin

 	      developers also use WSGI. See HelpOnInstalling/ApacheWithModWSGI.

     * revert action: fixed for deleted pages.

     * Search:

       * Xapian indexing: Removed crappy "hostname" tokenization.

         Fixes MoinMoinBugs/1.7 XapianNotWorkingWithLeadingNumbersInTitle.

         Also tokenize CamelCase parts of non-wikiwords.

       * Make query parser reject more invalid input.

       * If query parsing raises a BracketError, at least tell what the problem

         is (and not just raise empty  ValueError).

       * Category search: ignore traling whitespace after ----

     * Argument parser:

       * Fixed sort() usage in UnitArgument to be Python 2.3 compatible.

       * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/TypeErrorInWikiutils.

     * Macros:

       * TableOfContents: skip outer-most <ol> levels when page isn't using

         the biggest headings

       * MonthCalendar: fix MoinMoinBugs/MonthCalendarBreaksOnApostrophe

     * xslt parser: fix MoinMoinBugs/DoNotConvertUnicodeToUTF8ForXsltParser

     * OpenID RP: make it compatible to python-openid 2.2.x

     * PackagePages.collectpackage: removed encoding from file name of zipfile

     * Surge protection: exclude localnet no matter whether user is known or not.

     * Notifications: fix MoinMoinBugs/DuplicateNewUserNotification

     * Script moin account create/disable/resetpw: checks for already existing

       user now.

   Other changes:

     * Prevent CategoryTemplate being listed as a category (it is a Template)

       by changing the default page_category_regex.

   Developer notes:

     * New MoinMoin.action.cache - can be used to cache expensively rendered

       output, e.g. generated images). Once put into the cache, moin can emit

       a http response for that content very fast and very efficient (including

       "304 not changed" handling.

     * New file-like API in MoinMoin.caching (good for dealing with medium

       to large files without consuming lots of memory).

     * wikiutil.importPlugin supports getting the whole plugin module object

       by giving function=None.

 Version 1.7.0:

   Note: This is a reduced CHANGES, ommitting details from rc/beta test and

         also less interesting minor changes and fixes. It shows changes

         relative to 1.6.3 release.

         http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.7/file/76265568e8d3/docs/CHANGES

   New Features: ==============================================================

     * HINT: we added generic UPDATE instructions as docs/UPDATE.html.

     * HINT: Standalone server usage changed:

       * Standalone server can now be started via the "moin" script command,

         optionally backgrounding itself.

         See: moin server standalone --help

       * In the toplevel dir, we have renamed moin.py to wikiserver.py (it was

         often confused with the moin scripting command).

         Now you have:

         * wikiserver.py - to start the standalone server

         * wikiserverconfig.py - to configure the standalone server

         * wikiserverlogging.conf - to configure logging for it (default config

           is ok for all day use, but can easily be modified for debugging)

         * wikiconfig.py - to configure the wiki engine

       * Removed old moin daemonizing script (replaced by moin server standalone

         --start/stop)

       * We now provide the "moin" script command also for people not using

         setup.py, see wiki/server/moin.

     * Logging

       * New powerful and flexible logging, please see wiki/config/logging/ -

         HINT: you have to upgrade your server adaptor script (e.g. moin.cgi)

         and load a logging configuration that fits your needs from there, or

         alternatively you can also set MOINLOGGINGCONF environment variable

         to point at your logging config file.

         If you use some of our sample logging configs, make sure you have a

         look INTO them to fix e.g. the path of the logfile it will use.

       * Moin now logs the path from where it loaded its configuration(s).

     * Authentication / Sessions:

       * HINT: New authentication plugin system, see HelpOnAuthentication. If

         you do not use the builtin default for 'auth' list, you likely have to

         change your configuration. See wiki/config/snippets/ for some samples.

       * HINT: New session handling system (no moin_session any more, now done

         internally and automatically), see HelpOnSessions for details.

       * Added OpenID client and server support.

         See: HelpOnAuthentication and HelpOnOpenIDProvider.

       * cfg.trusted_auth_methods is a list of auth methods that put an

         authenticated user into the "Trusted" ACL group.

     * User profiles / password recovery / notification:

       * New newacount action for creating new user accounts/profiles. If you

         don't want users creating new accounts on their own, you can add this

         action to actions_excluded list.

       * New recoverpass action for password recovery:

         If you forgot your password, recoverpass sends you an email with a

         password recovery token (NOT the encrypted password) that is valid

         for 12 hours.

       * New moin account resetpw script for resetting a user's password by

         the wiki admin.

       * New preferences plugin system, see MoinMoin/userprefs/__init__.py.

       * New notification system with an optional jabber notification bot, see

         HelpOnNotification. HINT: wiki users have to check their notification

         settings, esp. if they want to receive trivial update notifications.

     * The diff action now has navigation buttons for prev/next change and also

       a revert button to revert to the revision shown below the diff display.

     * ThemeBase: support Universal Edit Button, see there for details:

       http://universaleditbutton.org/

     * ?action=info&max_count=42 - show the last 42 history entries of the page.

       max_count has a default of default_count and a upper limit of

       limit_max_count - you can configure both in your wiki config:

       cfg.history_count = (100, 200) # (default_count, limit_max_count) default

     * The CSV parser can sniff the delimiter from the first CSV line so other

       delimeters than ";" can be used.

     * Admonition support. Added styling for tip, note, important, warning 

       and caution in the modern theme. For more info see HelpOnAdmonitions.

     * DocBook-formatter:

       * supports HTML entities like → and ☃

       * supports the FootNote macro

       * supports bulletless lists

       * support for admonitions

       * will export the wiki page's edit history as the generated article's

         revision history. Doesn't add history of included pages.

       * supports for the MoinMoin comment element, though only inline comments

         are likely to be valid since the DocBook remark is an inline element.

     * New Hits macro: shows the total hits for the page it is used on.

   Removed Features: ==========================================================

     * HINT: Removed attachments direct serving (cfg.attachments - this was

             deprecated since long!). Use AttachFile action to serve attachments.

     * Duplicated file attachment upload code was removed from Load action (just

       use AttachFile action to deal with attachments).

     * Removed 'test' action. If you like to run unit tests, use py.test.

     * Removed Login macro.

   Bug Fixes: =================================================================

     * Better handling of ImportErrors (farmconfig, macros, wikiserverconfig).

     * Fix failure of detection of on-disk cache updates.

     * Fix traceback in filesys.py on Mac OS X when "import Carbon" fails.

     * AttachFile action / file up- and download / zip support:

       * WSGI: use wsgi.file_wrapper (or a builtin simple wrapper). Fixes memory

         consumption for sending of large file attachments.

       * FastCGI: flush often. Fixes memory consumption for sending of large

         file attachments.

       * Use the open temporary file for receiving file attachment uploads

         (fixes big memory consumption for large file uploads).

       * Catch runtime errors raised by zipfile stdlib modules when trying to

         process a defective zip.

       * When unzipping member files, decode their filenames from utf-8 and

         replace invalid chars.

       * Make error msg less confusing when trying to overwrite a file attachment

         without having 'delete' rights.

     * HINT: page_*_regex processing had to be changed to fix category search.

       If you don't use the builtin (english) defaults, you will have to change

       your configuration:

         old (default): page_category_regex = u'^Category[A-Z]'

         new (default): page_category_regex = ur'(?P<all>Category(?P<key>\S+))'

       As you see, the old regex did work for detecting whether a pagename is

       a category, but it could not be used to search for a category tag in the

       page text. The new regex can be used for both and identifies the complete

       category tag (match in group 'all', e.g. "CategoryFoo") as well as the

       category key (match in group 'key', e.g. "Foo") by using named regex

       groups. \S+ means the category key can be anything non-blank.

       If you like to simultaneously support multiple languages, use something

       like this: ur'(?P<all>(Kategorie|Category)(?P<key>\S+))'

       HINT: after changing your configuration, please rebuild the cache:

         * stop moin

         * moin ... maint cleancache

         * start moin

       If you don't do this, your groups / dicts will stop working (and also

       your ACLs that use those groups). You better do a test whether it works.

     * Xapian search / indexing / stemming:

       * Use text/<format> as mimetype for pages.

       * Index also major and minor for mimetypes, so it will find 'text' or

         'plain' as well as 'text/plain'

       * Fix searching for negative terms.

       * Improve result list ordering.

       * Index filters: redirect stderr to logging system.

       * Remove crappy num regex from WikiAnalyzer, improve tokenization.

       * Fix AttributeError that happened when trying to access an attribute only

         used with xapian search (but regex search is not done by xapian)

       * Fix IndexErrors happening when pages are renamed/nuked after the index

         was built.

       * Fixed indexing of WikiWords (index "WikiWords", "Wiki" and "Words").

       * Fix crash if default language is un-stemmable.

       * xapian_stemming: removed some strange code (fixes search

         title:lowercaseword with xapian_stemming enabled)

       * Fixed category indexing (index CategoryFoo correctly as CategoryFoo, not

         Foo - for all languages, see page_*_regex change above).

     * Builtin search: support mimetype: search for pages for the builtin search

       engine (using text/<format>).

     * Parser fixes:

       * Wiki: fix subscript parsing (was broken for cases like 'a,,1,2,,').

       * Docbook: fixed detection of WikiWords.

       * All: Add ssh protocol to url_schemas for ssh:... URLs.

     * XMLRPC:

       * Fix xmlrpc request.read() call to use content-length, if available,

         fixes hangs with wsgiref server.

       * Wiki xmlrpc getPageInfoVersion() fixed:

         * works correctly now for old page versions (was unsupported)

         * works correctly now for current page version (reported wrong

           data when a page had attachment uploads after the last page

           edit)

         * returns a Fault if it did not find a edit-log entry

   Other Changes: =============================================================

     * Using better ACLs and comments on system/help pages now, just taking

       away 'write' permission, but using default ACLs for everything else.

     * HINT: If you want to use xapian based indexed search, you need to have

       Xapian >= 1.0.0 (and you can remove PyStemmer in case you have installed

       it just for moin - we now use the stemmer built into Xapian as it

       supports utf-8 since 1.0.0).

     * Changed default value of cfg.search_results_per_page to 25.

     * Surge Protection: If a user is authenticated by a trusted authentication

       (see also cfg.auth_methods_trusted) then he/she won't trigger surge

       protection, but moin will just log a INFO level log msg with the user's

       name so you can find the culprit in case he/she is overusing ressources.

     * HINT: Added MyPages and CopyPage to actions_excluded because MyPages

       doesn't work without special SecurityPolicy anyway and CopyPage has

       questionable behaviour.

     * Load action now just creates a new revision of the target page, the

       target pagename defaults to the current page name and can be edited.

       If the target pagename is empty, moin tries to derive the target pagename

       from the uploaded file's name.

       Load tries to decode the file contents first using utf-8 coding and, if

       that fails, it forces decoding using iso-8859-1 coding (and replacing

       invalid characters).

     * HINT: cfg.show_login is gone, see code in theme/__init__.py, this may

       affect many themes!

     * HINT: a new userprefs/ plugin directory will be created by the usual

       "moin migration data" command.

     * DocBook-formatter:

       * generates a valid DOCTYPE

       * table support has been improved

       * handling of definitions and glossaries is more robust

       * supports program language and line numbering in code areas

     * HINT: ldap_login behaves a bit different now:

       In previous moin versions, ldap_login tended to either successfully

       authenticate a user or to completely cancel the whole login process in

       any other case (including ldap server down or exceptions happening).

       This made subsequent auth list entries rather pointless.

       Now it behaves like this:

         * user not found in LDAP -> give subsequent auth list entries a

           chance to authenticate the user (same happens if it finds multiple

           LDAP entries when searching - it logs an additional warning then).

         * user found, but wrong password -> cancel login

         * ldap server not reachable or other exceptions -> give subsequent

           auth list entries a chance

       So please make sure that you really trust every auth list entry you have

       configured when upgrading or it might maybe change behaviour in a

       unexpected or unwanted way.

     * ldap_login now supports failover: if it can't contact your LDAP server

       (e.g. because it is down or unreachable), it will just continue and

       try to authenticate with other authenticators (if there are any in

       cfg.auth list). So if you have some mirroring LDAP backup server, just

       put another authenticator querying it there:

           ldap_auth1 = LDAPAuth(server_uri='ldap://mainserver', ...)

           ldap_auth2 = LDAPAuth(server_uri='ldap://backupserver', ...)

           auth = [ldap_auth1, ldap_auth2, ]

   Developer notes: ===========================================================

     * Page.last_edit() is DEPRECATED, please use Page.edit_info().

     * Page._last_edited() is GONE (was broken anyway), please use

       Page.editlog_entry().

     * New request.send_file() call, making it possible to use server-specific

       optimizations.

     * getText's (aka _()) 'formatted' keyword param (default: True in 1.6 and

       early 1.7) was renamed/changed: it is now called 'wiki' and defaults to

       False. Example calls:

       _('This will NOT get parsed/formatted by MoinMoin!')

       _('This will be parsed/formatted by MoinMoin!', wiki=True)

       _('This will be used as a left side of percent operator. %s',

         wiki=True, percent=True)

     * Page.url 'relative' keyword param (default: True in 1.6 and early 1.7)

       was changed to default False).

     * The themedict no longer contains 'page_user_prefs' and 'user_prefs',

       this may affect custom themes.

     * The rst-parser's admonition class names are no longer prepended with

       "admonition_". Instead the class names are now for example "note"

       and not "admonition_note".

 Version 1.6.3:

   Fixes:

     * Security fix: a check in the user form processing was not working as

       expected, leading to a major ACL and superuser priviledge escalation

       problem. If you use ACL entries other than "Known:" or "All:" and/or

       a non-empty superuser list, you need to urgently install this upgrade.

     * Security fix: if acl_hierarchic=True was used (False is the default),

       ACL processing was wrong for some cases, see

       MoinMoinBugs/AclHierarchicPageAclSupercededByAclRightsAfter

     * For {{transclusion_targets}} we checked the protocol to be http(s),

       this check was removed (because file: and ftp: should work also) and

       it's not moin's problem if the user uses silly protocols that can't

       work for that purpose.

     * Fixed TableOfContents macro for included pages.

     * server_fastcgi: added Config.port = None. If you want to use some port

       (not a fd), you can set it now in your Config, e.g. port = 8888.

     * category: search matches categories even if there are comment lines

       between the horizontal rule and the real categories, e.g.:

       ... some page text ...

       ----

       ## optionally some comments, e.g. about possible categories:

       ## CategoryJustACommentNotFound

       CategoryTheRealAndOnly

       Note: there might be multiple comment lines, but all real categories

             must be on a single line either directly below the ---- or

             directly below some comment lines.

   Other changes:

     * Added 'notes' to config.url_schemas, so you can use notes://notessrv/...

       to invoke your Lotus Notes client.

     * After creating a new user profile via UserPreferences, you are logged

       in with that user (no need to immediately enter the same name/password

       again for logging in).

 Version 1.6.2:

   Fixes:

     * Security fix: check the ACL of the included page for the rst parser's

       include directive.

     * Potential security/DOS fix: we removed cracklib / python-crack support

       in password_checker as it is not thread-safe and caused segmentation

       faults (leading to server error 500 because the moin process died).

     * Fix moin_session code for auth methods other than moin_login (e.g. http).

       If you have worked around this using moin_anon_session, you can remove

       this workaround now (except if you want anon sessions for other reasons).

     * Fix moin_session code to delete invalid session cookies and also create

       a new session cookie if it got a valid user_obj at the same time.

     * Fix xmlrpc applyAuthToken: give good error msg for empty token.

     * Fixed category search, use category:CategoryFoo as search term.

     * xapian_stemming = False (changed default) to workaround some problems

       in the code enabled by it. Fixes the problems when searching for

       lowercase or numeric titles or word fragments with the builtin search.

     * Fix trail for anon users without a session, do not show a single page.

     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/WikiSyncComplainsAboutTooOldMoin.

     * Wiki parser: fixed strange insertion of unwanted paragraphs.

     * Wiki parser: fix interwiki linking:

       Free interwiki links did not change since 1.5 (they still require to match

       [A-Z][A-Za-z]+ for the wikiname part, i.e. a ASCII word beginning with an

       uppercase letter).

       Bracketed interwiki links now behave similar to how they worked in 1.5:

       Moin just splits off the part left of the colon - no matter how it looks

       like. It then tries to find that in the interwiki map. If it is found,

       a interwiki link gets rendered. If it is not found, moin will render a

       link to a local wiki page (that has a colon in the pagename). It will

       also render a local wiki page link if there is no colon at all, of course.

       Examples:

       [[lowercasewikiname:somepage]] does an interwiki link (if in the map).

       [[ABC:n]] does a local link to page ABC:n (if ABC is NOT in the map).

     * Wiki parser: fix interwiki linking for the case that there are query args

       in the interwiki map entry and you give additional query args via link

       markup (uses correct query arg separator now), e.g.:

       [[Google:searchterm|search this|&foo=bar]]

     * Creole parser: fixed bug that prevents images inside links.

     * Python parser: catch indentation error.

     * PageEditor: fixed copyPage for write restricted pages.

     * GUI editor: fixed javascript error with too complex word_rule regex,

       see MoinMoinBugs/GuiEditorSyntaxError.

     * Fixed FCKeditor dialog boxes for FireFox3.

     * NewPage macro/newpage action: fixed for non-ascii template pagenames.

     * FootNote macro: Fix MoinMoinBugs/FootNoteNumbering.

     * EmbedObject macro: bug fix for image mimetype

     * WSGI:

       * fix TWikiDraw saving a drawing by also evaluating the query args.

       * work around unpythonic WSGI 1.0 read() API, fixing broken xmlrpc

         putPage with mod_wsgi

     * Fix highlighting (see MoinMoinBugs/SearchForPagesWithComments).

     * Fix logfile code for EACCESS errors.

     * Removed the "logging initialized" log messages because it was issued once

       per request for CGI.

   Other changes:

     * Show "Comments" toggling link in edit bar only if the page really

       contains comments.

     * Made default configuration of surge protection a bit more forgiving,

       especially for edit action which is currently also used for previews.

     * Updated i18n, system/help pages, added Macedonian system text translation.

     * Improved moin xmlrpc write command's builtin docs and auto-append

       ?action=xmlrpc2 to the target wiki url given.

 Version 1.6.1:

   New features:

     * Improved params for [[target|label|params]]:

       Added accesskey link tag attribute, e.g.: [[target|label|accesskey=1]].

       Additionally to specifying link tag attributes (like class=foo), you can

       now also specify &key=value for getting that into the query string of

       the link URL.

       The "&" character is important, don't forget it or it won't get into the

       query string!

       E.g. for an attachment, you can use:

       [[attachment:foo.pdf|Direct download of foo.pdf|&do=get]]

       E.g. for linking to some specific diff, you can use:

       [[SomePage|see that diff|&action=diff,&rev1=23,&rev2=42]]

       See also the updated HelpOnLinking page!

     * AdvancedSearch: make multipe categories/languages/mimetype selections possible

     * Added a configuration directive to only do one bind to the LDAP server.

       This is useful if you bind as the user the first time.

       ldap_bindonce = False # default

   Fixes:

     * Fix XSS issue in login action.

     * Fix wrong pagename when creating new pages on Mac OS X - that was a big

       showstopper for moin 1.6.0 on Mac OS X.

     * Fixed 1.6 migration script:

       Make sorting python 2.3 compatible.

       Just skip corrupted event log lines.

       Fix link conversion by using data.pre160 as data_dir.

       Fix bad /InterWiki pagenames when encountering interwiki links with bad

       wiki names.

       Improve ImageLink conversion by using its argument parser code.

       Added STONEAGE_IMAGELINK (default: False) switch to wiki markup converter,

       toggle it if you had a very old ImageLink macro in production and the

       converter output has target and image interchanged.

       Fixed UnicodeDecodeError for wrongly encoded attachment filenames.

     * Wiki parser:

       Fix parsing of link/transclusion description and params.

       Fix relative attachment targets.

       Fix supported URL schemes (some got lost since 1.5.8).

       Showing an upload link for non-existing non-text/non-image transclusions

       now (like e.g. *.pdf).

     * RST parser: fix attachment: and drawing: processing

     * Fix quickhelp when editing RST markup pages.

     * Fix Despam action: editor grouping was broken, increase time interval

       to 30 days.

     * Fix AdvancedSearch domain:system search crashing.

     * Only switch off xapian search if we didn't use it because of missing index.

     * Fix saving twikidraw drawings by removing 'java' from spider regex.

     * Fix classic theme's unsubscribe icon's action link.

     * Fix AttachFile action: don't show unzip for packages, only show install

       for superuser.

     * Fix "su user" troubles on UserPreferences.

     * Removed unit tests from ?action=test (due to changes in our test

       environment, using py.test now, this was broken).

     * Duplicated the top directories' moin.py to wiki/server/moin.py so it gets

       installed by setup.py.

     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/1.6.0LanguageIgnoreBrowserConfigurationError

     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/MoveAttachmentNotWorkingWithModPython

     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/1.6.0SupplementationAndAccessRights

     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/RenamingUserAllowsOldUsernameToLogin

     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/GuiEditorExcelPasteExpatErrorUnboundPrefix

   Other changes:

     * I18n texts, system and help pages updated, please update your underlay

       directory (see wiki/underlay/...).

     * Improved "moin" script help, invoke it with "moin ... package command --help".

     * Added some .ext -> mimetype mappings missing on some systems (like Mac OS X).

     * Removed ImageLink macro, as this can be easily done with moin wiki link

       syntax now - see HelpOnMacros/ImageLink (the 1.6 migration scripts convert

       all ImageLink calls to moin wiki link syntax).

     * Updated EmbedObject macro.

 Version 1.6.0:

  * This is a reduced CHANGES, ommitting details from rc/beta test and also

    less interesting minor changes and fixes. If you want to see full detail,

    read it there: http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.6/file/640f21787334/docs/CHANGES

    It took MoinMoin development a lot of work and time to implement all the new

    and fixed stuff, so please, before asking for support:

    * take the time to read all the stuff below

    * read the new help pages (copy them from wiki/underlay/ directory)

  * HINT: If you are upgrading from a older moin version and want to keep your

    existing data directory, it is essential that you read and follow

    README.migration because the wiki markup and user profiles changed significantly.

    See also more HINTs below...

   New features: ==============================================================

   User interface: ------------------------------------------------------------

     * Removed "underscore in URL" == "blank in pagename magic" - it made more

       trouble than it was worth. If you still want to have a _ in URL, just

       put a _ into pagename.

     * Discussion pages, see FeatureRequests/DiscussionAndOrCommentPages.

     * cfg.password_checker (default: use some simple builtin checks for too

       easy passwords and, if available, python-crack).

       Use password_checker = None to disable password checking.

     * We now have a drafts functionality (no */MoinEditorBackup pages any

       more):

       * If you edit a page and cancel the edit, use preview or save, a draft

         copy gets saved for you to a internal cache area (data/cache/drafts/).

       * If it is a save what you did and it succeeds, the draft copy gets

         killed right afterwards.

       * If you accidentally used cancel or your browser or machine crashes

         after you used preview, then just visit that page again and edit it.

         the editor will notify you that there is a draft of this page and you

         will see a "Load draft" button. Click on it to load the draft into the

         editor and save the page.

       * The draft storage is per user and per page, but only one draft per page.

     * cfg.quicklinks_default and cfg.subscribed_pages_default can be used to

       preload new user profiles with configurable values.

     * attachment links for non-existing attachments look different now:

       the note about the non-existing attachment moved to the link title,

       the link is shown with nonexistent class (grey).

     * attachment embeddings for non-existing attachments show a grey clip

     * The list of InterWiki sites is editable in the wiki (page InterWikiMap),

       it is getting reloaded every minute.

     * We support some new languages and also have new underlay pages, thanks

       to all translators and people helping with the docs!

   Actions: -------------------------------------------------------------------

     * Synchronisation of wikis using the SyncPages action.

     * Xapian (see http://xapian.org/) based indexed search code.

       To use this:

       * Install xapian-core and xapian-bindings on your machine.

         We used 0.9.4, but newer code should hopefully work, too.

       * cfg.xapian_search = True

       * Execute this to build the index:

         $ moin ... index build   # indexes pages and attachments

         $ moin ... index build --files=files.lst  # same plus a list of files

         You should run those commands as the same user you use for your wiki,

         usually this is the webserver userid, e.g.:

         $ sudo -u www-data moin --config=... --wiki-url=wiki.example.org/ \

                index build --files=files.lst

     * New searches:

         - LanguageSearch: language:de

         - CategorySearch: category:Homepage

         - MimetypeSearch: mimetype:image/png (for attachments/files)

         - DomainSearch: domain:underlay or domain:standard

         - History Search: available in advanced ui

       Note: Some currently only available when Xapian is used.

     * New config options and their defaults:

         xapian_search        False  enables xapian-powered search

         xapian_index_dir     None   directory for xapian indices

                                     (can be shared for wiki farms)

         xapian_stemming      True   toggles usage of stemmer, fallback

                                     to False if no stemmer installed

         search_results_per_page 10  determines how many hits should be

                                     shown on a fullsearch action

         xapian_index_history False  indexes all revisions of pages to

                                     allow searching in their history

     * Speeded up linkto search by avoiding read locks on the pagelinks file.

     * The action menu now calls the actions for the revision of the page you

       are currently viewing. If you are viewing the current page revision, you

       get the same behaviour as in moin 1.5, but if you are viewing an old

       page revision, action "raw" will now show you the raw text of this OLD

       revision (not of the current revision as moin 1.5 did it).

       Note that not every action does evaluate the rev=XX parameter it gets.

       Also please note that the edit, info, ... links in the editbar do NOT

       use the rev parameter, but operate on the latest page revision (as

       they did in moin 1.5).

     * Info action lost the links for "raw", "print" and "revert" actions,

       because you can now just view an old revision and select those actions

       from the menu there.

     * ?action=sitemap emits a google sitemap (XML), listing all your wiki pages

       and the wiki root URL.

       Page                      Priority / Frequency / Last modification

       --------------------------------------------------------------------

       /                         1.0 / hourly / <now>

       cfg.page_front_page       1.0 / hourly / page last edit

       TitleIndex,RecentChanges  0.9 / hourly / <now>

       content pages             0.5 / daily / page last edit

       system/help pages         0.1 / yearly / page last edit

     * Action DeletePage and RenamePage can now be used for subpages of a page, too.

     * Added Action CopyPage so you can use now an existing page or page hierarchy

       as template for a new page, see FeatureRequests/CloneOrCopyPages.

     * "Package Pages" action supports attachments now.

     * Added SisterPages support:

       * action=sisterpages will generate a list of url pagename lines for all

         pages in your moin wiki.

       * action=pollsistersites will poll all sister sites listed in

         cfg.sistersites = [(wikiname, fetchURL), ...]

         The fetch URL for the sistersites depends on the wiki engine, e.g.:

         # moin based wiki:

         ('MoinExample', 'http://moin.example.org/?action=sisterpages')

         # oddmuse based wiki:

         ('EmacsWiki', 'http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/test?action=sisterpages')

         # JspWiki based wiki:

         ('JspWiki', 'http://www.jspwiki.org/SisterSites.jsp')

       * If the current page exists on some sister wiki, a link to it will be

         added to the navibar.

       You can use sister wikis for adding another dimension to your wiki UI: use

       it for simple multi language support, or for comments, or anything else

       "related" you need.

       TODO: add sistersites_force with sister sites we link to even if they do not

             have the page yet (will work only for moin as we don't know

             pagename>url transformation of other wikis)

     * showtags action that lists all tags related to a page.

     * action=view does use mimetypes of EmbedObject too and text files will be shown

       by using their colorized parsers

   Macros: --------------------------------------------------------------------

     * RecentChanges:

       * If a change has happened after your bookmark, the updated/new/renamed

         icon links to the bookmark diff.

       * If a page does not exist any more (because it was deleted or renamed),

         we link the deleted icon to the diff showing what was deleted (for the

         delete action). For the rename action, we just show the deleted icon.

     * Conflict icon in RecentChanges is shown if a edit conflict is detected.

     * Enhanced SystemAdmin's user browser, so a SuperUser can enable/disable

       users from there.

     * Included EmbedObject macro for embedding different major mimetypes:

       application, audio, image, video, chemical, x-world. 

       You are able to change the defaults of allowed mimetypes in the config

       var mimetypes_embed. The config var mimetypes_xss_protect is used to deny

       mimetypes. The order of both variables is Allow, Deny (mimetypes_embed,

       mimetypes_xss_protect).

     * Added support for @SELF to the NewPage macro.

     * GetText2 macro that allows to translate messages that contain data.

     * Make the FootNote macro filter duplicates and display a list of numbers

       instead of a list of identical footnotes. Thanks to Johannes Berg for the

       patch.

   Parsers: -------------------------------------------------------------------

     * Moin Wiki parser: Changed markup for links, images and macros, see these

       wiki pages: HelpOnLinking, HelpOnMacros

     * New wiki markup for /* inline comments */ - they get rendered as a span

       with class="comment", see next item:

     * There is a new item in the edit bar: "Comments". If you click it, the

       visibility of all class "comment" tags will be toggled. There is a user

       preferences item "show_comments" to set if the default view shows them or not.

     * The wiki parser can be used with css classes now:

       {{{#!wiki comment

       This will render output within a div with class "comment".

       You can use any wiki markup as usual.

       }}}

       You can also combine multiple css classes like this:

       {{{#!wiki red/dotted/comment

       This will render a red background, dotted border comment section.

       }}}

       The same thing will work for any other css classes you have.

       If the css classes contain the word "comment", they will trigger some

       special feature, see next item:

     * Wiki nested parser/pre sections work now, using this syntax:

       a) just use more curly braces if you have 3 closing in your content:

          {{{{

          }}} <- does not terminate the section!

          }}}}

       b) use {{{ + some magic string:

          {{{somemagicstring

          }}} <- does not terminate the section!

          somemagicstring}}}

       c) {{{whatever#!python

          # py code

          whatever}}}

       Pitfall: stuff like below does not work as it did in 1.5:

          {{{aaa

          bbb}}}

       Solution:

          {{{

          aaa

          bbb

          }}}

     * Added support for ircs: URLs (secure IRC).

     * New text/creole parser that allows you to use WikiCreole 1.0 markup,

       use #format creole.

     * HTML parser (called "html") that allows you to use HTML on the page.

       Thanks to the trac team for the nice code.

     * Added the diff parser from ParserMarket, thanks to Emilio Lopes, Fabien

       Ninoles and Juergen Hermann.

   XMLRPC: --------------------------------------------------------------------

     * actions_excluded now defaults to ['xmlrpc'] - this kind of disables the

       built-in wiki xmlrpc server code (not completely: it will just answer

       with a Fault instance for any request). If you want to use xmlrpc v1 or

       v2, you have to remove 'xmlrpc' from the actions_excluded list (for

       example if you want to use wikisync, mailimport or any other feature

       using xmlrpc). If you enable xmlrpc, it will be possible that someone

       changes your wiki content by using xmlrpc (it will of course honour ACLs).

     * New XMLRPC methods (see doc strings for details):

       * getMoinVersion

       * system.multicall -- multicall support

       * Authentication System: getAuthToken/appyAuthToken

       * getDiff -- method to get binary diffs

       * mergeDiff -- method to local changes remotely

       * interwikiName -- method to get the IWID and the interwiki moniker

       * getAllPagesEx -- method to get the pagelist in a special way (revnos,

         no system pages etc.)

       * getAuthToken -- make and authentication token by supplying username/password

       * applyAuthToken -- set request.user for following xmlrpc calls (within the

                           same multicall)

       * getUserProfile -- method to get user profile data for request.user

     * Added XMLRPC methods for attachment handling. Thanks to Matthew Gilbert.

     * XMLRPC putPage method adjusted to new AuthToken, config vars 

       xmlrpc_putpage_enabled and xmlrpc_putpage_trusted_only removed.

   Scripts / Commandline interface: -------------------------------------------

     * moin export dump now better conforms to the theme guidelines.

     * Added a --dump-user option to the moin export dump command.

       Thanks to Oliver O'Halloran.

   Security / Auth / AntiSpam / etc.: -----------------------------------------

     * Hierarchical ACLs are now supported, i.e. pages inheriting permissions

       from higher-level pages. See HelpOnAccessControlLists.

     * If you have "#acl" (without the quotes) on a page, this means now:

       "this page has own (empty) ACLs, so do not use acl_rights_default here"

       Please note that this is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from having no ACL line at

       all on the page (acl_rights_default is used in that case).

     * Antispam master url is now configurable via cfg.antispam_master_url.

       The default is to fetch the antispam patterns from MoinMaster wiki.

     * Antispam now checks the edit comments against BadContent also.

     * TextCHAs (text-form CAPTCHAs).

       Due to increasingly annoying wiki spammers, we added the option to use

       TextCHAs (for page save (not for preview!), for attachment upload, for

       user creation (not for profile save)).

       This function is disabled by default. If you run a wiki that is editable

       by anonymous or non-approved users from the internet (i.e. All: or Known:

       in ACL terms), you should enable it in your wiki config by:

       textchas = { # DO NOT USE EXACTLY THESE QUESTIONS!!!

           'en': {

               u'H2O is ...': u'water', # bad: too common

               u'2 apples and three bananas makes how many fruits?': ur'(five|5)', # good

               u'2 apples and three pigs makes how many fruits?': ur'(two|2)', # good

               u'2+3': ur'5', # bad: computable

               u'

           },

           'de': { # for german users

               u'H2O ist ...': u'wasser',

           },

       }

       This means that english users will get some random question from the 'en'

       set, german users will get some from the 'de' set. If there is no 'de'

       set configured, moin will fallback to language_default and then to 'en',

       so make sure that you at least have a 'en' set configured (or whatever

       you have set as language_default).

       You need to use unicode for the questions and answers (see that u"...").

       For the answer, you need to give a regular expression:

       * In the easiest case, this is just some word or sentence (first en

         example). It will be matched in a case-insensitive way.

       * For more complex stuff, you can use the power of regular expressions,

         e.g. if multiple answers are correct (second en example). Any answer

         matching the regular expression will be considered as correct, any

         non-matching answer will be considered as incorrect.

       Tipps for making it hard to break for the spammers and easy for the users:

       * Use site-specific (not too common) questions.

       * Don't use too hard questions (annoys legitimate users).

       * Don't use computable questions.

       * Don't reuse textchas from other sites.

       textchas_disabled_group = None # (default)

       Set this to some group name and noone in this group will get textchas.

       E.g.: textchas_disabled_group = u'NoTextChasGroup'

     * The login page gives now the possibility to recover a lost password, thanks to 

       Oliver Siemoneit. This is especially useful for wikis where access to user 

       preferences is restricted by acl.

     * Session handling for logged-in users and (not by default due to expiry

       problems) anonymous users.

     * Updated the ldap_login code from 1.5 branch, supports TLS now.

       See MoinMoin/config/multiconfig.py for supported configuration options

       and their defaults (and please just change what you need to change,

       in your wikiconfig).

     * Interwiki auth: You need to define cfg.trusted_wikis and

        cfg.user_autocreate to use it. Logging in works by entering:

       Name: RemoteWikiName RemoteUserName

       Password: remotepass

       Then moin contacts RemoteWikiName after looking it up in the interwiki

       map and tries to authenticate there using RemoteUserName and remotepass.

       If it succeeds, the remote wiki will return the remote user profile items

       and your local moin will autocreate an account with these values.

   Server / Network / Logging: ------------------------------------------------

     * The standalone server script moved to the toplevel directory. This makes

       it possible to directly start moin.py without additional configuration

       to run a MoinMoin DesktopEdition like wiki setup.

       Be careful: DesktopEdition uses relaxed security settings only suitable

       for personal and local use.

     * Added TLS/SSL support to the standalone server. Thanks to Matthew Gilbert.

       To use TLS/SSL support you must also install the TLSLite library

       (http://trevp.net/tlslite/). Version 0.3.8 was used for development and

       testing.

     * cfg.log_reverse_dns_lookups [default: True] - you can set this to False

       if rev. dns lookups are broken in your network (leading to long delays

       on page saves). With False, edit-log will only contain IP, not hostname.

     * Added support for "304 not modified" response header for AttachFile get

       and rss_rc actions - faster, less traffic, less load.

     * Added logging framework, using stdlib's "logging" module. Just do

       import logging ; logging.debug("your text"). Depending on configuration

       in the server Config class, your stuff will be written to screen (stderr),

       to a moin logfile, to apache's error.log, etc.:

       logPath = None # 'moin.log'

       loglevel_file = None # logging.DEBUG/INFO/WARNING/ERROR/CRITICAL

       loglevel_stderr = None # logging.DEBUG/INFO/WARNING/ERROR/CRITICAL

       NOTE: this is NOT in wikiconfig, but e.g. in moin.cgi or moin.py or ...

     * Added some experimental and disabled code, that uses x-forwarded-for

       header (if present) to get the right "outside" IP before a request

       enters our chain of trusted (reverse) proxies.

       This code has the problem that we can't configure it in wikiconfig, so

       if you want to use it / test it, you have to edit the moin code:

       MoinMoin/request/__init__.py - edit proxies_trusted (near the top).

       We will try to make this easier to configure, but there was no time left

       before 1.6.0 release for doing bigger code refactorings needed for that.

   Mail: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

     * You can send email to the wiki now (requires xmlrpc), see:

       FeatureRequests/WikiEmailIntegration, HelpOnConfiguration/EmailSupport

     * Mail notifications contain a link to the diff action so the user

       can see the coloured difference more easily. Thanks to Tobias Polzin.

   Other changes: =============================================================

     * HINT: please copy a new version of your server script from the wiki/server/

       directory and edit it to match your setup.

     * HINT: instead of "from MoinMoin.multiconfig import DefaultConfig" you

       need to use "from MoinMoin.config.multiconfig import DefaultConfig" now.

       You need to change this in your wikiconfig.py or farmconfig.py file.

       See MoinMoin/multiconfig.py for an alternative way if you can't do that.

     * HINT: you need to change some imports (if you have them in your config):

       Old: from MoinMoin.util.antispam import SecurityPolicy

       New: from MoinMoin.security.antispam import SecurityPolicy

       Old: from MoinMoin.util.autoadmin import SecurityPolicy

       New: from MoinMoin.security.autoadmin import SecurityPolicy

     * HINT: you need to change your auth stuff, the new way is:

       from MoinMoin.auth import moin_login, moin_session

       from MoinMoin.auth.http import http

       auth = [http, moin_login, moin_session]

       Do it in a similar way for other auth methods.

     * HINT: you need to change your url_prefix setting in 2 ways:

       1. The setting is now called url_prefix_static (to make it more clear

          that we mean the static stuff, not the wiki script url).

       2. The strongly recommended (and default) value of it is '/moin_static160'

          for moin version 1.6.0 (and will be ...161 for moin 1.6.1). It is

          possible and recommended to use a very long cache lifetime for static

          stuff now (Expires: access plus 1 year), because we require to change

          the URL of static stuff when the static stuff changes (e.g. on a

          version upgrade of moin) to avoid problems with stale cache content.

          Your moin will be faster with lower load and traffic because of this.

          For standalone server, we use 1 year expiry for static stuff now.

          For Apache, Lighttpd and other "external" servers, you have to care

          for configuring them to use a long expiry and change url_prefix_static

          related configuration on upgrade.

       HINT: if you run standalone or Twisted server, the easiest way to get a

             working configuration (with server configuration matching wiki

             configuration) is to NOT set url_prefix_static at all. Moin will

             use matching configuration defaults in this case.

     * url_prefix_action ['action'] was introduced for lowering load and traffic

       caused by searchengine crawlers. Up to now, crawlers where causing a high

       load in internet moin wikis because they tried to get about everything,

       including all actions linked from the user interface.

       Known crawlers only get 403 for most actions, but nevertheless they first

       tried. There was no means keeping them away from actions due to the rather

       braindead robots.txt standard. You can only disallow pathes there, but

       moin's actions were querystring based, not path based (this would need

       regex support in robots.txt, but there is no such thing).

       This changed now. Moin is able to generate action URLs you can handle in

       robots.txt, like /action/info/PageName?action=info. So if you don't want

       bots triggering actions, just disallow /action/ there. Keep in mind that

       attachments are handled by /action/AttachFile, so if you want attached

       files and pictures indexed by search engine, don't disallow

       /action/AttachFile/ in your robots.txt. In order to use this feature,

       set url_prefix_action in your wikiconfig to e.g. "action".

     * We use (again) the same browser compatibility check as FCKeditor uses

       internally, too. So if GUI editor invocation is broken due to browser

       compatibility issues or a wrong browser version check, please file a bug

       at FCKeditor development or browser development.

     * HINT: We removed Lupy based indexed search code. If you were brave enough

       to use cfg.lupy_search, you maybe want to try cfg.xapian_search instead.

   Developer notes: ===========================================================

     * We moved the IE hacks to theme/css/msie.css that gets included after all

       other css files (but before the user css file) using a conditional

       comment with "if IE", so it gets only loaded for MSIE (no matter which

       version). The file has some standard css inside (evaluated on all MSIE

       versions) and some * html hacks that only IE < 7 will read.

       HINT: if you use custom themes, you want to update them in the same way.

     * autofilters for databrowser widget. Thanks to Johannes Berg for the patch.

     * changed formatter.attachment_link call (it is now more flexible,

       because you can render the stuff between link start and link end yourself)

     * Page.url() does not escape any more. You have to use wikiutil.escape()

       yourself if you want to write the URL to HTML and it contains e.g. &.

     * The testing wikiconfig moved to tests/wikiconfig.py, the testing wiki

       is now created in tests/wiki/...

     * HINT: Killed "processors" (finally), formatter method changed to:

       formatter.parser(parsername, lines)

     * Refactored some actions to use ActionBase base class.

     * Moved "test" action from wikiaction to MoinMoin/action/

       (and use ActionBase).

     * Moved MoinMoin/config.py to MoinMoin/config/__init__.py.

     * Moved MoinMoin/multiconfig.py to MoinMoin/config/multiconfig.py.

     * Moved "SystemInfo" macro from wikimacro to MoinMoin/macro/.

     * Moved wikiaction.py stuff to MoinMoin/action/__init__.py.

     * Moved wikimacro.py stuff to MoinMoin/macro/__init__.py.

     * Moved wikirpc.py stuff to MoinMoin/xmlrpc/__init__.py.

     * Moved wikitest.py stuff to action/test.py (only used from there).

     * Moved formatter/base.py to formatter/__init__.py (FormatterBase).

     * Moved util/ParserBase.py to parser/ParserBase.py.

     * Moved / splitted request.py into MoinMoin/request/*.

       Most stuff will be broken, please help fixing it (usually some imports

       will be missing and the adaptor script will need a change maybe):

       Tested successfully: CGI, CLI, STANDALONE, FCGI, TWISTED

     * Moved security.py to security/__init__.py.

     * Moved wikiacl.py to security/__init__.py.

     * Moved logfile/logfile.py to logfile/__init__.py.

     * Moved mailimport.py to mail/mailimport.py.

     * Moved util/mail.py to mail/sendmail.py.

     * Moved auth.py to auth/__init__.py.

       Moved util/sessionParser.py to auth/_PHPsessionParser.py.

       teared auth code into single modules under auth/* - moin_session handling

       and the builting moin_login method are in auth/__init__.py.

     * Added wikiutil.MimeType class (works internally with sanitized mime

       types because the official ones suck).

     * Renamed parsers to module names representing sane mimetypes, e.g.:

       parser.wiki -> parser.text_moin_wiki

     * Added thread_monitor debugging aid. It can be activated using:

       from MoinMoin.util import thread_monitor; thread_monitor.activate_hook()

       and then triggered by requesting URL ...?action=thread_monitor - please

       be aware that monitoring threads has a big performance impact on its own,

       so you only want to temporarily enable this for debugging.

       By default, it dumps its output to the data_dir as tm_<timestamp>.log,

       you can change this at bottom of action/thread_monitor.py if you want to

       see output in your browser.

     * Introduced scope parameter to CacheEntry() - if you specify 'farm', it

       will cache into a common directory for all wikis in the same farm, if you

       specify 'wiki', it will use a cache directory per wiki and if you specify

       'item', it will use a cache directory per item (== per page).

       Creating a CacheEntry without explicit scope is DEPRECATED.

     * Smileys moved from MoinMoin.config to MoinMoin.theme.

     * Removed all _ magic in URLs and filenames.

     * request.action now has the action requested, default: 'show'.

     * Cleaned up duplicated http_headers code and DEPRECATED this function

       call (it was sometimes confused with setHttpHeaders call) - it will

       vanish with moin 1.7, so please fix your custom plugins!

       The replacement is:

           request.emit_http_headers(more_headers=[])

       This call pre-processes the headers list (encoding from unicode, making

       sure that there is exactly ONE content-type header, etc.) and then

       calls a server specific helper _emit_http_headers to emit it.

       Tested successfully: CGI, STANDALONE, FCGI, TWISTED

     * setResponseCode request method DEPRECATED (it only worked for Twisted

       anyway), just use emit_http_headers and include a Status: XXX header.

       Method will vanish with moin 1.7.

     * cfg.url_prefix is DEPRECATED, please use cfg.url_prefix_static.

     * d['title_link'] is not supported any more. You can easily make that link

       on your own in your theme, see example in MoinMoin/theme/__init__.py,

       function "title".

     * There is a new Page method called Page.get_raw_body_str that returns

       the encoded page body. This is useful if you just deal with byte data

       (e.g. while generating binary diffs).

     * The TagStore/PickleTagStore system is used to store the syncronisation tags.

     * XMLRPC functions may return Fault instances from now on

     * Moin got multicall support, including a module that makes it usable on the

       client-side without requiring Python 2.4

     * Added no_magic to text_html formatter to disable tag autoclosing.

     * MOIN_DEBUG can be set in the environment to let MoinMoin ignore exceptions

       that would lead to a traceback in the browser. Thanks to Raphael Bossek.

     * There is a new MoinMoin.Page.ItemCache class now with automatic cache

       invalidation based on global edit-log. We currently use it to cache page

       acls, speedup Page.get_rev and reading the page local edit-log.

     * Added wikiutil.renderText parse and format raw wiki markup with all page elements.

     * The user file format has changed, old files will be read correctly but

       will silently be upgraded to the new format so old versions will not

       read the new files correctly (this only affects 'subscribed_pages' and

       'quicklinks' which will be lost when downgrading.)

 Version 1.5.8:

   New features:

     * Added timing.log to help performance debugging. Use cfg.log_timing = True

       to update <data_dir>/timing.log (default is False, meaning no logging).

       Example log entries:

       Timestamp       PID   Timing Flag action     URL

       -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

       20070512 184401 22690 vvv         None       moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/RssFeeds

       20070512 184401 22690 0.267s    - show       moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/RssFeeds

       Timestamp: YYYYMMDD HHMMSS (UTC)

       PID: the process ID of the moin process

       Timing: when action starts, it will be "vvv"

               when it ends, it logs the total time it needed for execution

       Flag (some are only logged at end of action):

       +   Page exists

       -   Page does not exist

       B   user agent was recognized as bot / spider

       !x! Action took rather long (the higher the x, the longer it took - this

           makes it easy to grep for problematic stuff).

       Action: action name (None is when no action was specified, moin assumes

               "show" for that case)

       URL: the requested URL

       For more information about tuning your moin setup, see:

       http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/PerformanceTuning

     * Added support for ircs, webcal, xmpp, ed2k and rootz protocols - we

       moved all protocols to config.url_schemas, so this is not empty any more.

       It is possible to use these protocols now on wiki pages and in the

       navi_bar. We just generate the URLs, it is up to your browser what it

       does when clicking on those links.

     * cfg.traceback_show (default: 1) can be used to disable showing tracebacks.

       cfg.traceback_log_dir (default: None) can be used to set a directory

       that is used to dump traceback files to. Your users will get a notice to

       which (random) file in that directory the traceback was been written.

       NOTE: while you can feel free to set traceback_show = 0 and

       traceback_log_dir = None, we will also feel free to reject bug reports

       when you (or your site's users) don't give us enough information (like a

       traceback file) to debug the problem. If you set traceback_show = 0,

       we recommend pointing traceback_log_dir to a directory with reasonable

       free space and putting a page onto your wiki that describes who has to

       get contacted (usually the wiki server admin) in case a traceback happens.

       The admin can then locate the traceback file and submit it to moin

       development, if the bug is not already known (see MoinMoin:MoinMoinBugs).

       Of course we will also need all the other details of a bug report, not

       only the traceback file.

   Other changes:

     * Updated spider agents list.

     * Reduce bot/spider cpu usage for SystemInfo, OrphanedPages, WantedPages,

       PageHits, PageSize, WordIndex macros (we just return nothing for bots).

   Bugfixes:

     * XSS fixes, see http://secunia.com/advisories/24138/ (item 1 and 2).

     * ACL security fixes:

       * MonthCalendar respects ACLs of day pages now.

       * Check the ACL for the rst markup include directive.

     * Fixed cleaning of edit comments (control chars in there could damage

       edit-log).

     * Fixed in-process caching of antispam patterns (didn't update the cache

       for multi-process, persistent servers).

     * Correct encoding/decoding for surge-log data, fixes leftover

       surge-logXXXXXXX.tmp files in data/cache/surgeprotect.

     * Fixed mode of cache files (mkstemp creates them with 0600 mode).

     * Symbolic entities with numbers (like ²) did not work, fixed.

     * We open data/error.log earlier now and we also use it for FastCGI.

     * Fixed unicode cfg.page_group_regex.

     * Fixed moin.spec to use english date format.

     * GUI converter: fixed conversion of relative wiki links.

     * Fixed NewPage macro button label to not be formatted as wiki text.

 Version 1.5.7:

   New features:

     * added url_prefix_local which is used for stuff that must be loaded from

       same site as the wiki engine (e.g. FCKeditor GUI editor applet), while

       url_prefix can be a remote server serving the static files (css/img).

       If not set (or set to None), url_prefix_local will default to the value

       of url_prefix.

     * We save some CPU and disk I/O by having EditTemplates and LikePages macro

       (both used on MissingPage) check whether the requesting entity was

       identified as a spider (e.g. search engine bot) and do nothing in that

       case. Normal users won't see any difference.

     * For AttachFile, you can now choose to overwrite existing files of same

       name (nice for updating files).

   Bugfixes:

     * XSS Fixes:

       * fixed unescaped page info display.

       * fixed unescaped page name display in AttachFile, RenamePage and

         LocalSiteMap actions

     * WantedPages listed existing pages that are not readable for the user,

       but are linked from pages that ARE readable for the user (so this is NOT

       a privacy/security issue). We now don't list those pages any more as it

       is pointless/confusing, the user can't read or edit there anyway.

     * MoinMoin: href="http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/TableOfContentsUsesNonExistingIncludeLinks">MoinMoinBugs/TableOfContentsUsesNonExistingIncludeLinks

     * MoinMoin: href="http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/ActionsExcludedTriggerError">MoinMoinBugs/ActionsExcludedTriggerError

     * GUI editor/converter:

       * ignore <col>/<colgroup>/<meta> elements

       * support <a> within blockquote

     * Remove generated=... attribute from pagelink html output (this attr is

       for internal use only). w3c validator is now happier again.

     * Fixed css class "userpref" (not: "userprefs") of the Login form.

     * Fixed the version number check in the xslt parser for 4suite >= 1.0.

     * We reset the umask to the wanted value every request. This should fix

       wrong file modes when used with Twisted (twistd uses a hardcoded 0077

       umask in daemonize()).

     * Avoid trouble when saving pages with antispam function when MoinMaster

       wiki is having troubles (catch xmlrpc Fault).

   Other changes:

     * Standalone server does not do reverse DNS lookups any more (this is a

       standard feature of BaseHTTPServer stdlib module, but we override this

       now and just print the IP).

     * We moved the IE hacks to theme/css/msie.css that gets included after all

       other css files (but before the user css file) using a conditional

       comment with "if IE", so it gets only loaded for MSIE (no matter which

       version). The file has some standard css inside (evaluated on all MSIE

       versions) and some * html hacks that only IE < 7 will read.

       HINT: if you use custom themes, you want to update them in the same way.

     * Improved ldap auth:

       * cfg.ldap_name_attribute was removed because of new cfg.ldap_filter.

         If you had ldap_name_attribute = 'sAMAccountName' before, just use

         ldap_filter = '(sAMAccountName=%(username)s)' now.

       * New cfg.ldap_filter used for the ldap filter string used in the ldap

         search instead of the rather limited, partly hardcoded filter we used

         before. This is much more flexible:

         ldap_filter = '(sAMAccountName=%(username)s)'

         You can also do more complex filtering expressions like:

         '(&(cn=%(username)s)(memberOf=CN=WikiUsers,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=org))'

       * Added some processing to filter out result entries with dn == None.

       * We set REFERRALS option to 0 before initializing the ldap server

         connection (this seems to be needed for Active Directory servers).

       * We support self-signed ssl certs for ldaps - completely untested.

       * New cfg.ldap_surname_attribute (usually 'sn'), was hardcoded before.

       * New cfg.ldap_givenname_attribute (usually 'givenName'), hardcoded before.

       * New cfg.ldap_aliasname_attribute (usually 'displayName') - if this

         attribute is not there or empty (in the results of the ldap lookup for

         the user), we just make up the aliasname from surname and givenname

         attribute.

       * We only request the attributes we need from ldap (was: all attrs).

       * We deny user login (and break out of auth chain) for the following cases:

         * if a user is not found by ldap lookup

         * if we find more than one matching entry

         * if the password is empty or incorrect

         * if some exception happens

       * Please note that there is an updated ldap sample config in directory

         wiki/config/more_samples/.

       * Added experimental LDAP SSL/TLS support (untested, please help testing),

         see also the sample config.

     * Work around a IE7 rendering problem with long pages getting more and

       more narrow. We just applied the same "fix" as we used for IE6, using

       "display: none" for span.anchor for IE browsers.

     * RSS feed related:

       * We used to emit a <link> tag for the action=rss_rc RSS feed on any

         page. This was changed, we now emit that link only on RecentChanges and

         the current user's language translation of RecentChanges.

         This was changed because Google Toolbar requests the RSS feed linked

         by such a link tag every time it sees one. Thus, if you used the wiki

         normally, it requested the RSS feed every few seconds and caused

         problems due to surge protection kicking in because of that.

       * HINT for custom theme users: if your theme code calls

         rsslink(), then you need to change that to rsslink(d) for 1.5.7+.

 Version 1.5.6:

   A general security notice:

       Check your Python version, there was a buffer overflow issue in Python

       recently! Details: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/PythonUnicodeEscapeBug

   Bugfixes:

     * Fix AttributeError traceback with Standalone server (if_modified_since)

     * Fix AttachFile "304 not modified" and redirect status code for Twisted

     * http auth: we now decode username and password to unicode (using

       config.charset == utf-8). Same for SSL client cert auth and CN.

     * Avoid infinite recursion in Page.parsePageLinks.

     * Fixed standalone server failing to shutdown if interface == "".

     * Now MoinMoin does not think anymore that every page links to various user

       homepages.

     * Made the irssi parser more tolerant (Thanks to "TheAnarcat").

     * Now multiple formatters can be used per request, the send_page code was

       not reentrant to this regard. Fixes "empty" search results.

     * Fixed problem with "=" in ImageLink macro links.

     * Not a moin bug, but a silly stdlib os.tempnam function made trouble to

       some people because it lets you override the path given in the code

       by setting the environment variable TMP(DIR). We now use a different

       function to avoid renaming trouble when TMP(DIR) points to a different

       file system.

     * Fixed antispam update on every save (Thanks to "TheAnarcat").

     * GUI converter: don't throw away rowclass for tables.

     * GUI editor formatter: allow height for table cells.

     * GUI editor formatter: comment texts are output using the formatter now. 

   New features:

     * Mail notifications contain a link to the diff action so the user

       can see the coloured difference more easily. Thanks to Tobias Polzin.

     * FeatureRequests/MoveAttachments - you can move attachments from one

       page to another (and also rename the attachment at the same time).

       Thanks to Reimar Bauer.

     * Added support for linking to attachment: and inline: URLs with ImageLink.

     * Added UNIX socket support for FastCGI, just set the port to some (socket)

       filename. Details see: MoinMoin:FeatureRequests/FastCgiUnixSocket

     * [[Attachlist(pagename,mimetype)]] lists attachments of pagename (default:

       current page) with optional mimetype restriction (default: all).

       Thanks to Reimar Bauer.

   Other changes:

     * Minor performance improvements (might be noticeable if you have many

       custom navi_bar entries and high server load).

     * Avoid usage of no-cache because it breaks attachment download on IE6.

       This is a IE bug, not a moin bug.

     * Added XHTML to the unsafe list.

     * Changed the rst parser to be compatible to the new docutils interface

       for directives.

     * Updated EmbedObject macro.

 Version 1.5.5a:

   Bugfixes:

     * fixed ticket creation to only use constant values

 Version 1.5.5:

   HINT: read docs/README.migration.

   HINT: there was NO change in the underlay/ pages since 1.5.4.

   HINT: If you experience problems with the reStructured Text (rst) parser,

         please downgrade docutils to "0.4" because there were major interface

         breaking API refactorings on the docutils trunk.

   Bugfixes:

     * GUI editor fixes:

       * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/GuiEditorModifiesInterwikiPreferred.

       * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/TableAlignmentProbsWithGUI.

     * Not a moin bug, but it severely annoyed IE users and also was less

       comfortable for users of other browser: since about 1.5.4, we served

       attachments with Content-Disposition: attachment - so that the user has

       to save them to disk. This was to fix a possible XSS attack using attached

       HTML files with Javascript inside for stealing your moin cookie or doing

       other nasty things. We improved this by using different behaviour depending

       on the potential danger the attached file has when served inline:

       mimetypes_xss_protect = ['text/html', 'application/x-shockwave-flash', ]

       This is the default value. If you know more dangerous stuff, please just

       add the mimetypes there to protect your users and file a bug report

       telling us what we missed.

     * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/ReStructuredTextRelativeLinksBroken, thanks to Stefan

       Merten.

     * Make tickets used for some actions more safe.

   New features:

     * edit_ticketing [True] - we protect page save by a ticket (same stuff we

       already use for DeletePage and RenamePage action).

       NOTE: If you don't use your browser for editing, but some tool like

             "editmoin" or "MoinMoin plugin for jEdit", you'll need an update

             of them supporting the ticket.

             Alternatively, you can use edit_ticketing = False setting - this

             is not recommended for internet wikis as it will make spamming them

             easier.

     * If we detect some spammer, we kick him out by triggering surge protection

       (if surge protection is not disabled).

 Version 1.5.5rc1:

   Bugfixes:

     * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/XmlRpcBrokenForFastCgi - thanks to Johannes Berg.

     * Fixed gui editor converter confusing of `` and {{{}}} markup.

     * Fixed emission of HTTP headers (esp. Vary: Cache-Control:).

     * Fixed a bad crash that happens (on ANY page!) when you put a *Dict

       page's name as a member into a *Group page.

     * Fix MyPages action title to use an unformatted string.

     * Fix double quoted-printable encoding in generated emails (note: this is

       not a moin bug - this just works around bugs in python stdlib).

     * Fix mode of drawing files (use config.umask).

     * Fix trouble with /?action= urls by dropping getPageNameFromQueryString

       code. 

     * Fixed sre unpickle issues seen on some machines by avoiding to pickle

       the regex.

     * Fix Clock code, add more timers.

     * Worked around FastCGI problem on Lighttpd: empty lines in the error log.

     * Fix (add) locking for caching's .remove() call, small fixes to lock code.

     * Print error message when --target-dir=path is missing from moin export

       dump command.

   New features:

     * Added support for "304 not modified" response header for AttachFile get

       and rss_rc actions - faster, less traffic, less load.

     * Limit rss with full diffs to 5 items.

     * Allow surge_action_limits = None to disable surge protection.

     * moin.fcg improved - if you use FastCGI, you must use the new file:

       * can self-terminate after some number of requests (default: -1, this

         means "unlimited lifetime")

       * the count of created threads is limited now (default: 5), you can use

         1 to use non-threaded operation.

       * configurable socket.listen() backlog (default: 5)

     * Added indonesian i18n (id).

     * Some measures against spammers trying to brute force their spam into moin.

     * EmbedObject macro: added mov, mpg and midi support

     * moin ... export dump --target-dir=PATH --page=PAGENAME_REGEX

       You must specify --target-dir (where dump will write the html files to)

       and you may specify --page and either a page name or a regex used to

       match all pages you want to export. Default is to export all pages.

   Other changes:

     * Tuning:

       * more efficient locking code on POSIX platforms, we do much less I/O

         for locking now

       * removed most chmod calls in favour of a single os.umask call

     * Improved Python 2.5 compatibility. Note: if you think that MoinMoin

       is using too much RAM, you might want to look at Python 2.5 because

       of its improved memory management.

     * Throw away SAVE comments longer than 200 chars (you can't enter those by

       the user interface, so only spammer using automatic POSTs do them).

     * Updated spider user agent list.

     * BadContent and LocalBadContent now get noindex,nofollow robots header,

       same as POSTs.

     * Standalone opens it logfile unbuffered from now on, thanks to

       Carsten Grohmann.

     * Avoid trouble when request.write() data contains None, just skip it -

       thanks to Juergen Hermann.

     * Instead of showing a ConfigurationError, moin now emits "404 Not found"

       http headers and a hint about what could be wrong. This won't fill up

       your logs just because of typos and spiders still trying old URLs.

 Version 1.5.4:

     HINT: read docs/README.migration.

 Version 1.5.4-current:

     * increased maxlength of some input fields from 80 to 200

 Version 1.5.current:

   Developer notes:

     * We switched to Mercurial SCM, see here for more infos:

       http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinDev/MercurialGuide

   Bugfixes:

     * fix MonthCalendar macro for non-ASCII pagenames (thanks to Jonas Smedegaard)

     * remove 'search' and 'google' from bot user agent list and add some more

       specific terms

     * Fix the forgotten password email login URL and also properly encode the

       email body. Thanks to Robin Dunn for the patch.

     * Applied a patch by Matthew Gilbert for increased compatiblity with

       latest docutils.

 Version 1.5.3:

   New Features:

     * Added CSS classes for TableOfContents macro.

   Bug Fixes:

     * GUI editor / GUI editor converter:

       * Fixed missing GUI editor link in edit bar.

       * Fixed table/row/cell style spaces.

       * Changed <p> generation for macros.

       * Fixed handling of subpages.

       * Fixed processing of complex list elements (thanks to Craig Markwardt).

       * Fixed processing of html \n (thanks to Craig Markwardt).

       * Fixed joining of comment lines with text below them.

       * Fixed table height attribute crash.

     * Fixed sslclientcert auth.

     * Added some missing files to i18n processing, translatable strings more

       complete now.

     * Change <p> generation from self-closing (<p />) to auto-closing (only

       emit <p>, let browser find place for </p>).

     * Fix eating of newline before tables.

     * Fixed incorrect login hint for not logged-in users trying a disallowed

       action.

     * Fixed nasty missing or double </a> formatter bug (mostly happening when

       user has enabled questionmarks for nonexisting pages).

   Other Changes:

     * We catch and ignore html to wiki conversion errors in case of hitting

       the cancel button, so you can get out of the error screen.

 Version 1.5.3-rc2:

   New Features:

     * Modified SystemInfo macro to give human readable units and disk usage

     * cfg.editor_quickhelp makes the quick help below the editor configurable

       (at least as far as the default_markup is concerned). If set to None,

       it doesn't display any quickhelp. Thanks to Seth Falcon for the patch.

   Bugfixes:

     * Fixed double class attribute for nonexistent links

     * Fixed double </a> with qm_noexist option

     * Fixed table xxx="yyy" style attribute parsing

     * If not (editor_force and editor_default == 'text') then display GUI mode

       switch button (this is only a partial fix, but enough to deny the GUI

       mode to your users completely)

     * Fixed XSS issue which could lead to cookie theft etc.

     * Fixed definition list "same level" indenting.

     * Fixed pagename in log for PackagePages action.

     * Made <p> self-closing and line-anchors more well-behaved, thanks to

       Martin Wilck for the patch. I didn't apply the <ol> patch, because this

       is no real problem, just a problem of a bad standard.

     * Fixed gui editor *bgcolor crash.

     * Support/Fix tableclass attr with gui editor.

   Other changes:

     * Moved back UserPreferences action link from menu to top of page (renaming

       it to "Preferences"), added "Cancel" button to make it possible to return

       to the previous page without saving preferences.

     * Removed formatter.url "attrs" keyword arg that took premade html, we use

       separate kw args per attribute now.

     * Moved broken tests to MoinMoin/_tests/broken (= disabling them).

       All "active" tests run ok now.

       If you want to compare, I included the output of this test run:

       $ make test >tests/make_test.out

 Version 1.5.3-rc1:

   New features:

     * HINT: please read README.migration

     * Login and Logout are actions now, therefore you stay on the page where

       you were before.

     * UserPreferences is also an action now and moved from top border (in

       modern theme) to the "more actions" dropdown menu. You also stay on the

       same page.

     * There is also a [[Login]] macro now. You can put it on any page you want

       and if the user is not logged in, it renders the login form. If the user

       is logged in, it doesn't render anything.

     * We check cfg.superuser to be a list of user names (as documented) and

       deny superuser access if it is not. This avoids security issues by

       wrong configuration.

     * auth methods changed:

       HINT: if you wrote own auth methods, please change them as you see in

             MoinMoin/auth.py and test them again before relying on them.

       * now get a user_obj kw argument that is either a user object returned

         from a previous auth method or None (if no user has been made up yet).

         The auth method should either return a user object (if it has

         determined one) or what it got as user_obj (being "passive") or None

         (if it wants to "veto" some user even if a previous method already has

         made up some user object).

       * return value of continue_flag is now True in most cases (except if

         it wants to "veto" and abort).

       * moin_cookie auth method now logs out a user by deleting the cookie and

         setting user_obj.valid = 0. This makes it possible to still get the

         user's name in subsequent auth method calls within the same request.

       * added ldap_login and smb_mount auth methods, see MoinMoin/auth.py and

         wiki/config/more_samples/ldap_smb_farmconfig.py

     * MonthCalendar now takes an additional argument for specifying a template

       to use to directly invoke the page editor when clicking on non-existing

       day pages.

     * Added ImageLink macro. Thanks to Jeff Kunce, Marcin Zalewski, Reimar

       Bauer and Chong-Dae Park for working on it.

     * Lupy stuff (still experimental, partly broken and disabled by default):

       * Attachment search using lupy (lupy_search = 1 in your config)

         Title search will also search attachment filenames.

         Full text search will also search attachment contents.

       * Indexing filter plugins, see MoinMoin:FiltersForIndexing

         Some filters depend on external converters that might not be available

         for any platform (see Depends: line in filter plugin).

         Feel free to contribute more filter plugins, especially if you wrote

         some nice platform independant filter in Python for some popular file

         format! Filters implemented so far (depending on):

         MS Word, RTF, MS Excel (antiword, catdoc)

         PDF (pdftotext)

         OpenOffice.org XML based data formats (-)

         XML, HTML (-)

         text/* (-)

         JPEG's EXIF data (-)

         Binary generic (-)

       * As you might know, Lupy is "retired" (that means it isn't developped

         by its authors any more). We are currently evaluating Xapian as new

         indexing search engine in moin.

         If we succeed, we will replace Lupy stuff by some Xapian interface

         code in moin.

         But: the filters will likely stay, as we also need them with Xapian.

     * A new MoinMoin script interface was introduced:

       Syntax: moin [options] <cmdmodule> <cmdname> [options]

       For example:

       moin --config-dir=/my/cfgdir --wiki-url=wiki.example.org/ \

            export dump --page=WikiSandBox

       This will call the "moin" script, which will use the --config-dir and

       --wiki-url options to initialize, then it will go to MoinMoin.script

       module, import the export.dump module from there and run it, providing

       the additional --page value to it.

       The old scripts that have not been migrated to this new interface can

       still be found in MoinMoin/script/old/ - including the old migration

       scripts.

     * moin ... account create --name=JoeDoe --email=joe@doe.org

     * moin ... account disable --name=JoeDoe

     * moin ... acount check     <-- this is what usercheck script was before

     * moin ... maint cleancache <-- this is what cachecleaner script was

     * moin ... maint cleanpage  <-- this is what pagescleaner script was

   Bugfixes:

     * cookie_lifetime didn't work comfortable for low values. The cookie was

       created once on login and never updated afterwards. So you got logged

       out cookie_lifetime hours later, no matter whether you were active at

       that time or not. This has been changed, we update the cookie expiry now

       on every request, so it will expire cookie_lifetime after your last

       request (not after login).

     * Fixed logout problems when using cfg.cookie_path.

     * Fixed cookie_path for root url wikis.

     * Lupy search now behaves a bit less funky. Still no guarantees...

     * We lowered the twisted server timeout to 2 minutes now (was: 10) because

       it just used up too many files (open TCP connections until it timeouts)

       on our farm.

     * The algorithm used for processing the farmconfig.wikis list was changed

       to work for big farms (>= 50 wikis), too. This works around the python

       "re" module limitation of having a maximum of 100 named groups in a RE.

     * Fixed a TypeError which occurred for formatters that dislike None values.

       (cf. http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/PythonErrorEditingFrontPage)

     * Fixed GUI editor converter error for https:... image URLs.

     * ThemeBase (use by modern/rightsidebar): removed duplicate AttachFile from

       actions menu (we already have it in editbar).

     * Speedup group/dicts scanning for persistent servers.

     * Implemented HEAD requests for standalone server, this should fix some of

       the strange effects happening when using "Save as" on attachments.

     * Not a moin bug, but rather a workaround for non-standard non-ASCII DNS

       hostnames: we just use the IP instead of crashing now.

     * Spurious cyclic usage error in i18n fixed.

     * Fixed antispam for python 2.5a xmlrpclib.

     * I18n for linenumber toggle in listings.

     * All action menu entries are translatable now.

   Other:

     * Added css classes for the rst admonitions. Thanks to TiagoMacambira!

 Version 1.5.2:

   New features:

     * Added FullSearchCached macro which is statically cached.

       Use it if you do not depend on fresh search results but prefer raw speed.

     * Added surge protection, see HelpOnConfiguration/SurgeProtection.

     * Allow hex and symbolic entities.

     * If there is a user with empty password, we just generate a random one

       when he requests it getting sent by mail. Thanks to Reimar Bauer.

     * The superuser now can switch to another user using UserPreferences -

       nice to help your users when they forgot their password or need other

       help. You need to logout/relogin to use your own userid afterwards.

       This function only works correctly if you use moin_cookie authentication.

       Thanks to Reimar Bauer.

     * Add new markup for bulletless lists: just use a "." instead of "*".

   Other changes:

     * Added "voyager" to bot useragent list.

     * Added locking for caching subsystem.

     * Deron Meranda's formatter API cleanup.

     * Added div and span to formatter API.

     * Removed old unfinished form and export code.

     * updated i18n

   Fixes:

    * Fixed table attribute parsing.

    * Fixed cookie handling wrt properties adherance.

    * The new "." list markup makes it possible to have a bulletless list with

      elements on the same level. Before this change and only using indentation

      with blanks, that would get merged into a single paragraph.

    * It is possible now to have multiple paragraphs in the same list element,

      just leave an empty line in between the paragraphs.

    * Fixed GAP processing for ordered lists.

    * Fix text_gedit formatter's invalid list nesting.

    * Fixed hr crash in blockquote (but needs more work).

    * Fixed FootNote's formatter usage.

    * Fixed rst's headline levels.

    * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/WikiParserThinksItIsInsidePreWhenItIsNot

    * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/ListItemGeneratedOutsideList

    * Fixed that macros were followed by a wrong <p>.

    * Added <blockquote> to the block elements in the text_html formatter,

      so it does not close it erratically when you close a inner <p>.

    * GUI editor converter now also accept http: urls without // (relative or

      same server urls).

    * Fixed the DocBook parser in cases where the pagename was non-ascii.

    * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/ProcessInlineDontSupportUlElement

 Version 1.5.1:

   Fixes:

     * Fixed rst parser docutils version check

     * Repaired attachment unzipping feature.

     * Fixed the AddRevision command of the PackageInstaller.

     * improved the migration scripts (used to migrate pre-1.3 wikis to 1.3+):

       * do not crash on empty lines in event log

       * fix edit log format for very old moin data (like 0.11)

       * workaround for an ugly win32 operating system bug leading to wiki text

         file mtime not matching edit logs timestamp values if there was some

         timezone change since last edit (e.g. a daylight saving tz switch),

         but differing 3600s.

         This affected pre-1.3 moin wiki servers running on win32 OS only.

         We now try to correct those inconsistencies in mig05 by fuzzy matching.

     * fixed bracketed link scheme icon (css class)

     * we included a modified copy of Python 2.4.2's copy.py as some previous

       python versions seem to have problems (2.3.x, x < 5 and also 2.4[.0]),

       see: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/DeepCopyError

       Our own copy.py was slightly modified to run on 2.3.x and 2.4.x.

     * Fixed the problem of not being able to change the date/time format back

       to "Default" (UserPreferences).

     * We generate the GUI editor footer now the same way as the text editor

       footer.

     * Include a CSS workaround for yet another IE bug, see:

       MoinMoinBugs:InternetExplorerPeekABooBugInRightSideBar

     * classic theme: added GUI editor link

     * classic theme: added pagename header to editor screen

     * the "mail enabled" check now also checks whether mail_from is set

   Other changes:

     * Updated FCKeditor to current CVS (2006-01-08 == 2.2+)

     * Split up show_hosts into show_hosts and show_names

     * attachment:file%20with%20spaces.txt in attachment list

     * added support for file:// in GUI editor link dialogue, see also:

       MoinMoin:FileLinks

     * cfg.mail_smarthost now supports "server:port" syntax, the default port

       is 25, of course.

     * removed unused kwargs showpage/editable/form from wikiutil.send_footer

     * updated i18n (translation texts, additional languages)

     * removed interwiki:pagename from print view's top of page, added it to

       the "lasted edited" line at bottom right.

 Version 1.5.0:

   HINT: 1.5.0 uses the same data/pages format as 1.3.x. The only thing you want

         to check is whether the 1.5.x version you are upgrading to has NEW mig

         scripts compared to the version you are running now (e.g. in 1.3.5 we

         added some scripts that fixed some small problems).

         See the MoinMoin/scripts/migration/ directory.

         You must run every mig script in sequence and only ONCE ever.

   Fixes:

     * Fix <x=y> table attributes parsing. Thanks to Reimar Bauer.

     * Fixed a few bugs in the reStructured text parser. Note that you

       need to install docutils 0.3.10 or newer (snapshot from December 2005

       or newer) to make reStructuring parsing work:

      * Case preservation for anonymous links

      * MoinMoin links get the appropriate CSS class

      * Images do not get special CSS markup anymore

      Thanks to Matthew Gilbert.

     * Fixed a bug in the WSGI code which led to incorrect exception handling.

     * Removed all nationality flags. They used to be used for indicating some

       specific language (NOT nationality) and this was simply wrong and a bad

       idea.

     * Fixed some header rendering issues (CSS).

     * SystemAdmin macro now checks against cfg.superuser list.

   Other changes:

     * Added turkish i18n. To be considered as alpha as it got in last minute.

 Version 1.5.0rc1:

   This is the first release candidate of MoinMoin 1.5.0.

   Fixes:

     * fixed broken logs when a DeletePage (maybe also RenamePage) comment

       contained CR/LF characters (could happen when using copy&paste)

     * fixed GUI editor MoinEditorBackup page containing HTML instead of wiki

       markup

     * fixed invalid HTML in FootNotes

     * fixed HTML source in EditorBackup after canceling GUI editor

     * Footnotes of included pages are not shown at the bottom of the including page.

     * Bug in Dict handling that often breaks first entry

 Version 1.5.0beta6:

   Authentication:

     * Added SSO module for PHP based apps. Currently supported: eGroupware 1.2.

       No need to login in two systems anymore - MoinMoin will read the PHP session

       files.

   Fixes:

     * Improved rendering of bullet lists and external links in Restructured text.

       Thanks to Matthew Gilbert.

     * Fixed modern theme rendering, including some fixes and workarounds for

       broken MS IE.

     * When checking for email uniqueness, do not compare with disabled user

       profiles.

     * Fix sending of HTTP headers for Despam action.

     * Add some margin left and right of the link icons.

   Other changes:

     * Made it easier for auth methods needing a user interface (like ldap or

       mysql stuff). Unlike http auth, they usually need some "login form".

       We made UserPreferences login form values (name, password, login, logout)

       available as kw args of the auth method, so it is easy and obvious now.

     * Make login and logout show at the same place. Is only shown when

       show_login is True (default).

     * Disabled login using &uid=12345.67.8910 method. Please use name/password.

     * Made builtin moin_cookie authentication more modular: the cookie is now

       touched by MoinMoin.auth.moin_cookie only, with one minor discomfort:

       When creating a user, you are not automatically logged in any more.

     * We now use the packager for additional help and system pages in all other

       languages except English. The packages are attached to SystemPagesSetup

       page and can be installed from there after getting "superuser" powers.

       The "extra" package contains a collection of orphan pages not listed on

       some SystemPagesIn<Language>Group page.

 Version 1.5.0beta5:

   Fixes:

     * Fixed a minor user interface bug: it showed RenamePage and DeletePage

       actions in the menu if you only had write rights and then complained

       when you really tried when you had no delete rights additionally.

     * We don't remove RenamePage and DeletePage from menu any more if user is

       unknown. This stuff is only driven by ACLs now.

     * Some fixes to Despam action.

     * Fixed moin_dump (broken by some recent theme init change).

     * Fixed a few tests by moving the theme init from moin_dump to RequestCLI.

     * removed old_onload reference from infobox.js

     * Fixed MoinMoin logo for IE.

     * search: fixed whitespace handling in linkto: search terms

     * Increased stability of the tests system by outputting results to sys.stdout

       instead of request. Note that this changes the semantics for e.g. mod_py or

       mod_fcgi.

     * Fixed packaging system in the case of AddRevision that does not alter the page.

     * Fixed a few bugs in the XML formatters (dom_xml, text_xml, xml_docbook).

     * Fixed link icons. We now just use a.xxx.before where xxx is the link scheme,

       e.g. a.http.before. See theme's common.css.

     * Hopefully fixed some issue with non-ASCII attachment filenames.

     * Workaround for Opera 8.5 making silly "No addition" categories.

     * Do not show GUI editor for non-wiki format pages, because we only have a

       converter from html to wiki right now.

     * Fix the modern CSS issues for editbar, when it shifted content far right.

       Also removed the absolute height value that never was right.

     * Fix mod_python adaptor bugs failing to handle Location correctly.

       See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339543

   Other changes:

     * Added irc:// to the builtin supported link schemas. You can remove it

       from config.url_schemas in case you have patched it in there.

     * Added cfg.user_autocreate (default: False). Use True to enable user

       profile autocreation, e.g. when you use http authentication, so your

       externally authenticated users don't need to create their moin profile

       manually. The auth method (see cfg.auth list) must check this setting

       if it supports auto creation.

     * Added user_autocreate support for auth.http and auth.sslclientcert.

     * Added "." and "@" to allowed characters in usernames. This is needed

       e.g. when using mod_pubcookie for authentication. mod_pubcookie returns

       userids like "geek@ANDREW.CMU.EDU" (e.g. the Kerberos domain is part of

       the id). Thanks to Brian E. Gallew for his patch, which we used for

       inspiration for user autocreation changes.

     * Changed auth method to return a tuple (user_obj, continue_flag), see

       comments in auth.py.

     * auth methods now create user objects with kw args auth_method and

       auth_attribs, so that moin knows later how the user was authenticated

       and which user object attributes were determined by the auth method.

     * Added MoinMoin/scripts/import/IrcLogImporter.py to import supybot's

       IRC logs into a moin wiki. We use MonthCalendar compatible page names,

       so you can use the calendar for showing / navigating the logs.

     * Removed packager binary from FCKeditor (fixing a Debian policy problem).

     * Worked around .png transparency bugs of IE with the new logo. We ship

       two logos: moinmoin.png without an alpha channel (IE compatible) and

       moinmoin_alpha.png which has an alpha channel and looks better on

       browsers with full .png support.

     * Allow a .zip file to have a directory in it if it is the only one.

 Version 1.5.0beta4:

   Fixes:

     * use <span class="anchor"> instead of <a> for line-xxx anchors, this

       fixes some rendering problems on IE

     * Fixed the ReStructured text parser when it was used with non-HTML

       formatters. Increased compatiblity with new docutils code.

       (Thanks to Matt Gilbert.)

   Other changes:

     * cfg.stylesheets = [] (default). You can use this on wiki or farm level

       to emit stylesheets after the theme css and before the user prefs css.

       The list entries must be ('screen', '/where/ever/is/my.css') style.

     * Added sample code for auth using an external cookie made by some other

       program. See contrib/auth_externalcookie/*. You need to edit it to

       fit whatever cookie you want to use.

 Version 1.5.0beta3:

   Fixes:

     * fixed editor preview throwing away page content for new pages

     * require POST for userform save and create* action

     * use request.normalizePagename() while collecting pagelinks

     * do not offer gui editor for safari

   Other changes:

     * tell user if account is disabled

     * added support for linking to .ico and .bmp

     * attachment methods for the text_xml and xml_docbook formatters

     * new favicon

     * updated i18n (fixed nl, did nobody notice this?) and underlay

     * changed show_interwiki default to 0

 Version 1.5.0beta2:

   Fixes:

     * fix wrong _ in title links (MoinMoinBugs/AddSpaceWikiNameAtHead)

     * fix gui editor (converter) crash on save

     * MoinMoinBugs/PageHitsFails

     * MoinMoinBugs/PackagePagesFailsBecauseAllowedActionsMissing

     * Avoid destroying existing page content if editor is called with

       template parameter for an existing page.

     * fix countdown javascript for browser status line in editor

     * added page title display for editor

     * added header div for classic theme

   Authentication and related:

     * Added a WhoAmI.py wiki xmlrpc plugin to check whether auth works

       correctly for xmlrpc. There is a counterpart script WhoAmI.py that

       uses http auth when calling the xmlrpc plugin, so you can use it to

       check http auth.

 Version 1.5.0beta1:

     * Requirements changed to require Python >= 2.3. We recommend that

       you use the latest Python release you can get. The reason we

       dropped 2.2.2 support is because no developer or tester uses this

       old version any more, so incompatibilities crept in the code

       without anybody noticing. Using some recent Python usually is no

       real problem, see there for some hints in case you still run an

       old python: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/NewPythonOnOldLinux

       The hint also does apply to other POSIX style operating systems,

       not only Linux.

     * We recommend you use MoinMoin/scripts/cachecleaner.py to clean the

       wiki's cache (see comments at top of the script).

       The cache will automatically be rebuilt (some operations may take

       some time when first being used, e.g. linkto: search, so be patient!).

   Config Changes:

      * there is a file CHANGES.config with just the recently changed stuff

        from multiconfig.py

      * new defaults:

        * page_front_page old: u"FrontPage" new: u"HelpOnLanguages"

          please just read the help page in case you see it :)

        * bang_meta old: 0 new: 1

        * show_section_numbers old: 1 new: 0

        * some regexes that used to be [a-z]Uxxxx$ are now [a-z0-9]Uxxxx$

        * navi_bar has no page_front_page as first element any more

      * removed settings and code [new behaviour]:

        * acl_enabled [1]

        * allow_extended_names [1]

        * allow_numeric_entities [1]

        * backtick_meta [1]

        * allow_subpages [1]

      * new settings:

       * cfg.mail_sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i" can be used if sending

         via SMTP doesn't work on your server. Default is None and that means

         using SMTP.

       * language_default replaces the old default_lang setting (just renamed).

       * language_ignore_browser = True can be used to let moin ignore the

         user's browser settings (e.g. if you run a local-language only wiki

         and your users use misconfigured or buggy browsers often). Default is

         False. Don't forget to set language_default when using this.

     * Wiki Editor changes / new WYSIWYG editor

      * fully imported the javascript based LGPLed FCKeditor (many thanks

       to Fred CK for his great work). See http://fckeditor.net/ for details.

      * config for FCKeditor is at wiki/htdocs/applets/moinfckeditor.js

      * added cfg.interwiki_preferred (default = []) to set a list of wikis to

        show at the top of the wiki selection list when inserting an

        interwiki link (just use the same wiki name as in interwiki

        map). If the last list item is None, then the preferred wikis

        will not be followed by the entries of the interwiki map.

     * moved save/preview/... buttons to the top so that they can be

       easily reached

     * reduced edit_rows default to 20 lines

     * Added support for edit by doubleclick in the diff view

     * Improved wiki farm support

      * make user files sharable between several wikis in a farm

       * allow/use interwiki subscriptions

       * use interwiki links in page trail

       * save bookmark per wiki name

      * cfg.cookie_domain can be used to set a cookie valid for a complete

        domain (default: None == only for this host). If you use '.domain.tld',

        the cookie will be valid for all hosts *.domain.tld - good for host

        based wiki farms.

      * cfg.cookie_path can be used to set a cookie valid for a wiki farm under

        some base path (default: None == only for this wiki's path). If you use

        '/wikifarm',  the cookie will be valid for all wikis

        server.tld/wikifarm/* - good for path based wiki farms.

      * Interwiki user homepage (if you have MANY users)

        Generated links for usernames are interwiki now, use cfg.user_homewiki

        (default: 'Self') to specify in which wiki the user home pages are

        located. Note: when pointing this to another wiki, the /MoinEditorBackup

        functionality will be disabled.

        @SIG@ also uses interwiki when needed.

     * Authentication, ACLs and related

      * Modular authentication: cfg.auth is a list of functions that return a

        valid user or None, use it like this:

            from MoinMoin.auth import http, moin_cookie

            auth = [http, moin_cookie]

      * cfg.auth_http_enabled was removed, please use cfg.auth instead.

      * http auth now supports "Negotiate" scheme, too

      * Added sslclientcert auth method (Apache: untested, Twisted: not

        implemented, IIS: no idea). See MoinMoin/auth.py for details.

        Submit a patch if you have improvements.

      * cfg.superuser is a list of unicode usernames. It is used by some

        critical operations like despam action or PackageInstaller.

      * removed allowed_actions, we now use actions_excluded only and it

        defaults to [], that means, no action is excluded, everything is

        allowed (limited by ACLs). In case of RenamePage and DeletePage,

        this shouldn't be a problem as both can be reverted. In case you

        did not allow attachments, you now have to use:

        actions_excluded = ['AttachFile']

      * special users (All, Known, Trusted) in Groups are now supported

      * MoinMoin.security.autoadmin SecurityPolicy added

        When using this security policy, a user will get admin rights on his

        homepage (where pagename == username) and its sub pages. This is needed

        for the MyPages action, but can also get used for manual ACL changes.

        It can also be used for Project page auto admin functionality, see the

        comments in the script for details.

        Further it can automatically create the user's group pages when the

        user saves his homepage.

      * there is a UpdateGroup xmlrpc call, see MoinMoin/xmlrpc/UpdateGroup.py -

        you can use this to update your *Group pages e.g. when generating them

        from an external group database.

     * UserPreferences changes

      * Alias name: is used for display purposes, when "name" is cryptic. It is

        shown e.g. in the title attribute of userid links (displayed when

        moving the mouse over it).

      * "Publish my email (not my wiki homepage) in author info" - use this

        if you don't have a wiki homepage, but if you want to be contactable

        by email. When you edit a page, your email address will be published

        as mailto: link on RecentChanges, at bottom of page (last editor) and

        in page info. If the wiki runs publically on the internet, be careful

        using this or your email address might be collected by spammers.

      * Preferred Editor: whether you want to use the text editor (as in

        previous moin versions), the gui editor (new!) or both (you will get

        2 edit links in that case).

      * a user can add/remove the current page to/from his quicklinks with an

        appropriate action now

      * if cfg.user_email_unique = False, we don't require user's email

        addresses to be unique

      * removed show_fancy_links user preferences setting to simplify code and

        caching. Displaying those icons is now done by CSS styles (see

        common.css). Maybe needs fixing for non-standard themes and RTL langs.

     * Markup

      * added strikethrough markup: --(striked through text here)--

      * @ME@ expands to just the plain username (no markup added) on save

     * User homepages

      * when a user accesses his own non-existing homepage (pagename ==

        username), the wiki will present the MissingHomePage system page

        content, explaining what a user homepage is good for and offer

        one-click editing it with content loaded from HomepageTemplate

      * creation of homepage subpages is assisted by the MyPages action, which

        offers rw, ro page creation (and a related group) or creation of private

        pages. If you are not in the user_homewiki, you will get redirected

        there first.

   Other changes/new features:

     * Added PackageInstaller and unzipping support (see wiki page

       HelpOnActions/AttachFile for further details).  PackageInstaller requires

       the user to be in cfg.superuser list.

      * Added an PackagePages action to simplify the package creation.

     * Added location breadcrumbs - when you are on some subpage, the page

       title parts link to the corresponding parent pages, the last part does

       the usual reverse linking.

     * added WSGI server support, thanks to Anakim Border, see:

       wiki/server/moinwsgi.py (moin as WSGI app, uses the flup WSGI server,

                                see http://www.saddi.com/software/flup/)

       MoinMoin/server/wsgi.py (adaptor code)

     * added a "Despam" action to make de-spamming a wiki easy (mass revert

       bad changes done by a single author or bot). You need to be in

       cfg.superuser to use it.

     * Better diffs with links to anchors to the changed places

     * Enhanced table support in the DocBook formatter.

     * Added 'moin' daemon script, that let you run moin standalone

       server as daemon and control the server with simple command line

       intreface: moin start | stop | restart | kill

     * Add 'restart' option to mointwisted script

     * Add properties option to standalone server config. Allow

       overriding any request property like in other server types.

     * Add support for running behind proxy out of the box with out

       manual url mapping.

       See HelpOnConfiguration/IntegratingWithApache

     * added a WikiBackup action, configure it similar to this:

       data_dir = "/path/to/data"

       backup_include = [data_dir, ] # you can add other dirs here

       backup_users = ["BackupUserName", ] # only TRUSTED users!

       You usually don't need to change the default backup_exclude setting.

       The default backup_include list is EMPTY and so will be your

       backup in case you don't configure it correctly.

       If you put your data_dir there, the backup will contain private

       user data like email addresses and encrypted passwords.

     * Added a SubscribeUser action which allows the administrator to subscribe users to the

       current page.

     * Added thread count to SystemInfo macro.

     * Added Petr's newest patch against the DocBook code. It allows you to use macros (esp. the include macro) in DocBook pages in order to build larger documents.

     * Added a RenderAsDocbook action which redirects to the DocBook formatter.

     * Added searching for wiki-local words lists under <data_dir>/dict/.

       They are used additionally to the global lists in MoinMoin/dict/.

     * moin_dump now also dumps attachments referenced from the page.

       It doesn't dump stuff that is just attached, but not referenced!

     * On RecentChanges we now force the comment to be breakable, this improves

       rendering of over-long words or on narrow browser windows - especially

       for themes with limited content width like rightsidebar.

     * We now have the "new" icon on RecentChanges clickable, just links to the

       page.

     * Print view now shows "interwikiname: pagename" (for show_interwiki = 1).

   International support:    

     * mail_from can be now a unicode name-address 

       e.g u'Jürgen wiki <noreply@jhwiki.org>'

   Theme changes:

     * logo_string is now should be really only the logo (img).

       If you included your wiki's name in logo_string you maybe want to remove

       it now as it is shown as part of the location display now anyway (if

       you set show_interwiki = 1).

     * You maybe want to remove page_front_page from your navi_bar - we link to

       that page now from the logo and (new, if you set show_interwiki = 1) from

       the interwiki name displayed in location display, so you maybe don't need

       it in navi_bar, too.

     * If you have a custom theme, you should / may:

      * sync modern/css/screen.css #pagelocation #pagetrail stuff to your

        screen.css or pagelocation display (title()) will look strange (like a

        list).

      * remove "#title h1 ..." CSS (or any other CSS assuming h1 is a page

        title and not just a first level heading), it is not used any more.

      * we now render = heading = as <h1> (was <h2> before 1.5),

        == heading == as <h2> (was <h3>), etc.

      * maybe move both title() and trail() to header area, like the builtin

        themes do it.

      * there is a new interwiki() base theme method that optionally (if

        show_interwiki = 1) shows the interwiki name of this wiki and links to

        page_front_page. The css for it is #interwiki.

   Developer notes:    

     * Plugin API was improved. When plugin module is missing,

       wikiutil.PluginMissingError is raised. When trying to import a

       missing name from a plugin module, wikiutil.PluginMissingError is

       raised. You must update any code that use wikiutil.importPlugin.

       Errors in your plugin should raise now correct tracebacks. See

       http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ErrorHandlingInPlugins

     * pysupport.importName was changed, it does not check for any

       errors when trying to import a name from a module. The calling

       code should check for ImportError or AttributeError. Previous

       code used to hide all errors behind None.

     * Its easier now to customize the editbar by overriding

       editbarItems() in your theme, and returning a list of items to

       display in the editbar. To change a single editbar link, override

       one of the xxxLink methods in your theme.

   Internal Changes:

     * request.formatter (html) is available for actions now

     * theme API's d['page_home_page'] is gone (sorry) and replaced by

       d['home_page'] which is either None or tuple (wikiname,pagename).

       It is better to use the base classes function for username/prefs anyway.

     * introduced cfg.hacks for internal use by development, see comment in

       multiconfig.py and file HACKS.

     * added IE7 (v0.9) from Dean Edwards (see http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/) -

       that should fix quite some IE bugs and annoyances (on Win32).

       * for enabling IE7, use cfg.hacks = { 'ie7': True }

     * reducewiki now also copies all attachments (we use that to make underlay

       directory from moinmaster wiki's data_dir)

   Fixes:  

     * Fixed a typo in xslt.py which led to a traceback instead of an

       error message in case of disabled XSLT support.

     * Fixed crash in twisted server if twisted.internet.ssl is not

       available.

     * Fixed wrong decoding of query string, enable wiki/?page_name urls

       with non ascii page names.

     * Fixed wrong display of non ascii attachments names in

       RecentChanges and page revision history.

     * Fixed a crash when trying to run standalone server on non posix os.

     * Fixed highlight of misspelled words in Check Spelling action.

     * Fixed case insensitivity problems on darwin (Mac OS X). See

       MoinMoinBugs/MacHfsPlusCaseInsensitive

     * Added RecentChanges (only the english one) to the pages getting

       html_head_index headers

     * text_html cache files written with this code will invalidate themselves

       if they detect to be older than the wikiconfig. Note: you should remove

       all old text_html cache files once after upgrading, they will then be

       rebuilt automatically with the new code.

     * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/12_to_13_mig10_Walk

     * Fixed the word_rule: a word like AAAbbAbb isn't teared into two parts

       any more (was: AA<link>AbbAbb</link>)

     * Fixed false positive InterWiki markup for languages like Finnish.

       InterWiki links are only rendered if the left side has an appropriate

       entry in the interwiki map, otherwise it is rendered as simple text.

     * Fixed unicode error when uploding non-ascii file name using mod

       python.

     * Fixed error handling of wikirpc requests, should give more

       correct errors and prevent no error output and blocking the

       client in some cases.

     * Fixed the "lost password" mail processing. If a user entered some email

       address unknown to the system, he was not notified of this, but just got

       a useless mail with no account data in it. Now the system directly tells

       the user that he entered an unknown email address.

     * Fixed SystemInfo, it now also lists parsers in data/plugin/parser dir.

     * Fix error handling on failure, improved error display

     * Fix error handling when importing plugins or importing modules

       dynamically. The fix is not backward compatible with older plugins.

     * Fix chart action, returns a page with error message when chart

       can not be created.

     * Fixed formatter usage in the ShowSmileys macro.

     * Fixed updating pagelinks cache for [:page:text] or [wiki:Self:page text],

       fixes display of LocalSiteMap and rendering of such links.

     * Hopefully fixed urllib problems (esp. with py 2.4.2, but also before) by

       using our own urllib wrapper that handles encoding/decoding to/from

       unicode, see wikiutil.py. Also made a similar fix for making and parsing

       query strings.

     * Fixed MonthCalendar tooltips when containing special chars like quotes.

     * Added html escaping for diff text for RSS feed with diff=1.

     * The distance between page content beginning and the first = heading =

       was much too much. Fixed.

 Version 1.4:

     We used that version number for an internal and early development version

     for what will be called moin 2.0 at some time in the future.

     There will never be a 1.4.x release.

 Version 1.3.5 (2005-08-04, Revision moin--main--1.3--patch-883)

 Fixes:

     * small CSS fix for rightsidebar theme

     * applied some Debian patches (thanks to Jonas!):

       * de i18n spelling fixes

       * AttachFile fix, we strip CR in .draw files now

       * when loading spellcheck dictionaries, we want utf-8, but we make

         a 2nd try with iso-8859-1 encoding.

 New Features:

     * enabled using https with the Twisted server:

       You need to use port 443, have PyOpenSSL (+ ssl libs it depends on)

       installed and have some site key and certificate PEM files configured in

       your twistedmoin.py file:

       sslcert = ('/whereever/cert/sitekey.pem', '/whereever/cert/sitecert.pem')

 Version 1.3.5rc1 (2005-07-31, Revision moin--main--1.3--patch-865)

 Fixes:

     * Fixed security bug when acl of deleted page was ignored. See:

       http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/ACLIgnoredAfterDelete

     * AttachFile did not display the original filename plus there

       was a confusion in input field labelling ('Rename to').

     * Fixed shortcut link non-existent page detection.

     * Fixed non-working bookmark function on python 2.2.x.

     * Fixed wikirpc getPageInfo call on python 2.2.x.

     * Fixed the failing import of plugins from the data/plugin/

       directories if run in zipimport environments.

     * Fixed traceback which occurred on negated searches.

     * Fixed crash when trying to render error message on twisted, fast

       cgi and modpy.

     * Fixed error message with modpy, used to show wrong errors below

       the real message.

     * Fixed search and goto text fields for better compatibility with

       dark themes and better control through css.

     * Show an edit link if MissingPage is missing and a warning in the

       server log.

     * Fixed missing footer in the editor.

     * Fixed indented (invalid) headings with broken links in table of

       contents.

     * Fixed crash when file name is too long, show standard error message.

     * Save trail file in a safe way, should be enough for normal use.

     * Fixed remember_last_visit user preferences option when show_trail

       is not selected.

     * Fixed the tests for Standalone, Twisted, FastCGI and Mod_Python.

       Run with ?action=test from any page.

     * Fixed rare bug when wrong search type was performed when pasting

       search term in Safari.

     * Fixed crash for custom formatters and dom_xml (which occurred if

       smileys were in the page).

     * Editor opens on double click in pages with single quote in the

       name, like "Ben's Wiki".

     * '/.' in page names are not replaced any more by '/(2e)'

     * Fixed the long delays while saving pages using RequestCLI.

     * Fixed variable expanding for users with non WikiName.

     * Fixed MonthCalendar's calculation of "today" to use the user's

       time zone setting.

     * Fixed moin_dump script, use same configuration options as other

       scripts.

     * Fixed url_mappings to work in proxied setups and sent mails

       again. Also fixed for image links. Thanks to JohannesBerg.

     * Fixed page shown after saving a drawing (esp. when saved from a

       sub page). Fixed help link for drawings.

     * Fixed mig10 script to run on Python < 2.3.

     * The twisted server defaulted to a socket timeout of 12 hours!

       We reduced that to a more sane 10 minutes, that should still be more

       than enough. This fixed the "too many open files" problem we

       encountered quite often recently. Thanks to Helmut Grohne!

 Other Changes:

     * Added {hu} flag.

     * Added cz, pt and pt-br i18n.

     * We send a 404 http status code for nonexisting wiki pages now,

       maybe this will repell some search engines from requesting gone

       pages again and again. The wiki user still sees the MissingPage

       wiki stuff, so a user usually won't notice this change.

     * Return 500 error code on failure and exceptions.

     * Added some more bot / leech tool user agent strings.

     * Prevent page floating elements from floating out of the page over

       the footer, in modern, rightsidebar and classic themes.

     * Encode URLs in a safer way

     * We allow usernames with ' character in them now (like Tim O'Brian).

     * Added support for the new security flags in docutils 0.3.9.

     * @MAILTO@ expands now to safer [[MailTo()]] macro.

     * Clarified and i18ned lost password mails.

     * Added 'TitleIndex' and 'SiteNavigation' (+ translation) to the

       list of pages that use html_head_index (so that robots

       "index,follow").  Please make sure to have either FindPage,

       TitleIndex or SiteNavigation in your navi_bar or in your

     * The main code path (using standalone server) of MoinMoin runs on

       PyPy now.

     * Formatters do automatically transform HTML to plain text if they are

       called with raw HTML code.

     * Using larger socket backlog on Standalone and FastCGI servers
