reduced/restructured docs/CHANGES for 1.9.0 release
     1 MoinMoin Version History
     2 ========================
     3 
     4 Please note: Starting from the MoinMoin version you used previously, you
     5 should read all more recent entries (or at least everything marked with HINT).
     6 
     7 This release has known bugs (see MoinMoin:MoinMoinBugs), but we think it is
     8 already better than the previous stable release. Our release policy is not
     9 trying to make a "perfect release" (as that release might NEVER get released),
    10 but to make progress and don't delay releases too much.
    11 
    12 Known main issues:
    13 
    14   * The GUI WYSIWYG editor has still some issues and limitations.
    15     If you can't live with those, you can simply switch it off by using:
    16     editor_force = True
    17     editor_default = 'text'  # internal default, just for completeness
    18 
    19 
    20 Version 1.9.0:
    21   Note: This is a reduced CHANGES, ommitting details from rc/beta test and
    22         also less interesting minor changes and fixes. It shows changes
    23         relative to 1.8.6 release.
    24         If you want to see full detail, read it there:
    25         http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.9/file/b290d938be63/docs/CHANGES
    26 
    27   New features: ==============================================================
    28   * HINT: MoinMoin requires Python 2.4 now. If you only have Python 2.3 and
    29           you don't want to upgrade it, please use MoinMoin 1.8.x.
    30   * HINT: MoinMoin is now a WSGI application.
    31     Please read the new install docs about how to use it.
    32     We are still working on the docs, please try to use them and report any
    33     bugs you find: http://master19.moinmo.in/InstallDocs
    34     You also have a local copy of that page as docs/INSTALL.html.
    35     There is also some stuff in docs/INSTALL.wsgi.
    36   * HINT: due to big changes in the request processing and the request
    37     object (related to the WSGI refactoring), many 3rd party plugins might
    38     need code updates to work with moin 1.9.
    39     We are working on some docs about how to update them to work with 1.9.
    40   * HINT: We now offer different sized sets of system/help pages and the default
    41     underlay just contains a single page: LanguageSetup. You need to be
    42     superuser, visit that page and then install the language packs you like
    43     (minimum is the essential set for English).
    44   * HINT: LanguageSetup is the default page_front_page, you need to change that
    45     after installing language packs (see above).
    46 
    47   * New modular group and dict data access, you can use group and dict 
    48     backend modules to access group and dict data stored anywhere you like.
    49     Currently we provide these backends:
    50       * WikiGroups and WikiDicts backends get data from wikipages. They work
    51         similar to old wikidicts code (but with less caching issues :).
    52       * ConfigGroups and ConfigDicts backends get data from a dictionary
    53         defined in the wiki config.
    54       * CompositeGroups and CompositeDicts compose several backends, so data
    55         may be retrieved from several sources. For example, groups may be
    56         defined in the wiki config and on wiki pages.
    57     * Using cfg.groups and cfg.dicts, you can define the backend to use to
    58       access group and dict information (default: WikiGroups / WikiDicts
    59       backend).
    60       See wiki/config/more_samples/ directory (groups_wikiconfig_snippet and
    61       dicts_wikiconfig_snippet).
    62     * See also the new HelpOnDictionaries and HelpOnGroups help pages.
    63 
    64   * Improved Xapian indexing / search:
    65     * Moin's Xapian based search code was refactored:
    66       * It is now based on the xappy library (see MoinMoin.support.xappy).
    67       * Minimum Xapian requirement is 1.0.6 now.
    68       * Outdated and unmaintained xapwrap lib was removed.
    69       * now regex search with Xapian enabled also is based on the xapian index
    70     * safe 2-stage xapian index rebuilding:
    71       moin index build --mode=buildnewindex  # slow, concurrent
    72       <stop wiki>
    73       moin index build --mode=usenewindex  # fast
    74       <start wiki>
    75     * added wikiconfig snippet for xapian indexed search
    76 
    77   * Improved drawing support:
    78     * TWikiDraw:
    79       * support code was refactored/moved to the twikidraw action.
    80       * use drawing:example.tdraw to invoke it (drawing:example also still
    81         works for backwards compatibility)
    82     * AnyWikiDraw:
    83       * java applet added, source code see contrib/
    84       * support code for it is in anywikidraw action.
    85       * use drawing:example.adraw to invoke it
    86     * TWikiDraw drawings are now stored as a single attachment foo.tdraw.
    87       We added a migration script that converts your existing drawings.
    88     * AnyWikiDraw drawings are stored in a similar way as foo.adraw.
    89     * cfg.extensions_mapping added for mapping of attachment file extensions
    90       to actions (currently used for anywikidraw/twikidraw action)
    91 
    92   * Themes / static files related:
    93     * Added modernized_cms theme (hides most wiki widgets from modernized if the
    94       user is not logged in).
    95     * Static file serving built-in (moved wiki/htdocs to MoinMoin/web/static/htdocs).
    96       MoinMoin.web.static has a static file serving wrapper that uses the files
    97       from htdocs subdirectory by default (docs=True).
    98       You can also give another path or switch off creation of that static wrapper.
    99       See the docstring of the static package for details.
   100     * Theme packages: do_copythemefile now copies theme files to
   101       MoinMoin/web/static/htdocs.
   102 
   103   * Syntax highlighting is based on the pygments library now, it does this for
   104     LOTS of stuff (programming languages, config files, ...) - use it like this:
   105     {{{#!highlight xxx
   106     ...
   107     }}}
   108     xxx is any of the markups pygments supports (see HelpOnParsers).
   109     Note: we still have some (deprecated) small wrappers around pygments,
   110     so the old syntax #!python/pascal/cplusplus/... still works.
   111 
   112   * Authentication improvements:
   113     * HTTP auth related (see also HelpOnAuthentication):
   114       * HTTPAuthMoin: http basic auth done by moin
   115       * HINT: auth.http.HTTPAuth is now auth.GivenAuth
   116         This was badly named from the beginning as for most servers, it just
   117         looked at REMOTE_USER environment variable and relied on the server
   118         doing the authentication (could be http basic auth or any other auth).
   119     * LDAP/AD auth: new name_callback param to create a custom wiki username (not
   120       the ldap login username)
   121     * OpenID auth:
   122       * Support for Simple Registration (SREG) extension.
   123         Basic profile fields can be copied from OpenID provider when logging in.
   124       * Support for Teams extension.
   125         If your OpenID provider supports the Teams extension (i.e. Launchpad),
   126         MoinMoin can be configured to generate XXX text missing!?
   127       * Ability to accept logins from specific OpenID providers.
   128         Login form changes based on configuration for better usability:
   129         * 0 providers: normal text input box for OpenID URL
   130         * 1 provider: hidden field, automatic form submission with JavaScript
   131         * 2+ providers: select field, uses directed identity
   132 
   133   * Sessions / cookies:
   134     * cfg.cookie_lifetime is now a tuple (anon, loggedin), giving the lifetime
   135       of the cookie in hours, accepting floats, for anon sessions and logged in
   136       sessions. Default is (0, 12). 0 means not to use a session cookie (== not
   137       to establish a session) and makes only sense for anon users.
   138     * cfg.cookie_httponly is new and defaults to False. Please note that if you
   139       set it to True, TWikiDraw and similar stuff won't be able to use the session
   140       cookie. Thus, if your wiki page doesn't allow writing for everybody, saving
   141       a drawing will fail, because there is no session (== no logged in user) for
   142       the TWikiDraw applet's saving POSTs.
   143 
   144   * Macros:
   145     * WikiConfigHelp: added section keyword for selecting a subset of the
   146       description, e.g. <<WikiConfigHelp(section="xapian")>>
   147     * HighlighterList: show Pygments syntax highlighters (see HelpOnParsers)
   148 
   149   * Actions:
   150     * SlideShow action added (use modernized theme) XXX does it work ONLY for modernized?
   151     * raw action mimetype support: ...?action=raw&mimetype=text/css
   152     * PackagePages: create package file on-the-fly in memory and send it to the
   153       client (do NOT create package.zip attachment)
   154 
   155   * Improved logging / debugging / developer support:
   156     * main exception handler: include request url in log output
   157     * Environment variable MOIN_DEBUGGER=off/web/external (default is like "off")
   158     * Handle wikiserverconfig(_local) in the same way as wikiconfig(_local)
   159 
   160   * GUI editor: improved attachment dialog
   161 
   162   * "moin ... account homepage" script to create user homepages.
   163 
   164

   172   Bug fixes: =================================================================
   173   * Xapian indexing:
   174     * rely on xapian's locking (remove moin's additional and sometimes broken

   237 
   238 
   239   Other changes: =============================================================

   258 
   259   Developer notes: ===========================================================
   260   * groups and dicts API changes:
   261     * request.groups and request.dicts provide access to groups and dicts.
   262     * MoinMoin.wikidicts is gone, please use MoinMoin.datastruct.
   263     * LazyGroup and LazyGroupsBackend base classes for implementing backends
   264       which potentially deal with huge amounts of data (like a LDAP directory).
   265       Use MoinMoin/datastruct/backends/config_lazy_groups.py as a draft for
   266       new backends.
   267     * See http://moinmo.in/Groups2009 for more details.
   268   * i18n: new approach for defining sets of system/help pages (see i18n.strings).
   269     CheckTranslation, page packager, wikiutil.isSystemPage() use those sets.
   270   * killed deprecated macro.form attribute (didn't work as expected anyway due
   271     to WSGI refactoring) - please use macro.request.{args,form,values}
   272 
   273 
   274 Version 1.8.6:

   280     * OpenOffice/OpenDocument filters: catch UnicodeDecodeErrors (happens
   281       with password protected files)
   282   * i18n: check if languages is not initialized yet, don't crash
   283   * http_redirect: use 301 redirect for some cases

   285   * GetText2 macro: fix for named placeholder
   286   * Fix SHA -> SSHA password hash upgrade for old user profiles.
   287   * abort RenamePage if renaming of main page fails (do not try to rename

   310     * Improve filesys.rename compatibility code (win32).
   311     * Fix locking for CacheEntry.
   312     * Xapian indexing: catch exception when a bad zip file is encountered.
   313     * openidrp / botbouncer: fix param count for CancelLogin().
   314

   328 
   329 
   330 Version 1.8.4:
   331   Bug fixes:
   332     * ACL security: fix bug in hierarchical ACL processing, more restrictive
   333       sub page ACLs did not work if the current user name did not give a match
   334       within the sub page ACL (instead, the less restrictive parent page ACL
   335       was used).
   336       Non-hierarchical ACL processing (the default) is NOT affected.
   337     * Creole parser: fix spaces in multiline elements.
   338     * Use msie.css only for Internet Explorer older than version 8, fixes
   339       e.g. the double rendering of link icons.
   340     * http auth: do auth_type comparisons case-insensitively (spec-compliant)
   341 
   342   New features:
   343     * EmbedObject macro: changed default width value for PDF files to 100%
   344                          (use a recent Adobe Reader to make this work).
   345     * CopyPage action: added a TextCha for it
   346 
   347   Other changes:    
   348     * Creole parser: Add second license: BSD
   349 
   350 
   351 Version 1.8.3:
   352   Bug fixes:
   353     * AttachFile XSS fixes: move escaping to error_msg / upload_form
   354     * AttachFile move: add more escaping (maybe not XSS exploitable though)
   355     * email attachments import with xapian indexing enabled: fix AttributeError
   356     * fix wrong links in attachment notifications
   357     * AttachFile do=view: quote filename and pagename params for EmbedObject
   358       macro call
   359     * AttachFile: fix exception when someone just clicks on upload, without
   360       giving a file
   361     * ldap_login: use None as default value for ssl certs/keys (using '' for
   362       the pathes lets it fail with Connect Error)
   363     * release edit lock if someone saves an unchanged page
   364     * fix sendmail.encodeAddress (do not [QP] encode blanks, do not un-
   365       necessarily use [QP] encoding for pure ascii mail addresses)
   366     * Fixed docs bug: see HINT about secrets configuration at version 1.8.0
   367       (1.8.0 Other changes).
   368     * backup action: add 'self' dummy argument for backup_exclude function
   369     * login action: fix formatting of error messages
   370     * unsubscribe action: add msg types so icons get displayed
   371     * fix quoting for pagehits stats (info action) - was not working for pagenames with blanks
   372     * macro.TableOfContents: bug fix for MoinMoinBugs/TableOfContentsIgnoresSectionNumbersPragma
   373 
   374   New features:
   375     * added modernized_cms theme
   376     * use url_prefix_fckeditor if you don't want to use the builtin FCKeditor
   377       of moin, but a separate one at some specific url
   378     * action.Load: added textcha feature
   379     * add mumble protocol (nice and good quality F/OSS VOIP conference chat sw)
   380     * ldap auth: new name_callback param to create a custom wiki username (not
   381       the ldap login username).
   382 
   383   Other changes:
   384     * add compatibility code for set to xapwrap.index (fix py 2.6 warnings)
   385     * wikiutil: MIMETYPES_MORE extended for .md5 as text/plain
   386 
   387 
   388 Version 1.8.2:
   389   Bug fixes:
   390     * Fix AttachFile and antispam XSS issues.
   391     * Modernized, modern and rightsidebar themes: make nonexistent or
   392       badinterwiki links gray also when they are already visited.
   393     * Fix anchor parsing for interwiki links and #redirect processing
   394       instruction.
   395     * user.apply_recovery_token: key must be of type string (for Python 2.6).
   396     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/GuiEditorBreaksIndentedTable.
   397     * Fix autofilter javascript breakage caused by including a databrowser
   398       widget.
   399     * Use per-wiki i18n cache (fixes wrong links to other farm wikis).
   400     * Made cfg.interwikiname and cfg.user_homewiki unicode objects (str only
   401       worked for ascii names).
   402     * Xapian search: fixed historysearch.
   403     * Xapian search indexing:
   404       * Fix index updating for trivial changes.
   405       * With history search enabled and in update mode, do not try to re-index
   406         old page revisions again.
   407       * With history search enabled, index page attachments only once.
   408       * Fix last modified time of xapian index (shown on SystemInfo page).
   409     * Make logging handlers defined in logging.handlers work (e.g.
   410       class=handlers.RotatingFileHandler)
   411     * Jabber notifications:
   412       * Use an RFC compliant message type.
   413       * Fix user creation notifications.
   414     * OpenID: Compatibility fix for python-openid 2.x.x (also works with
   415       1.x.x), fixes crash when trying to associate moin user to OpenID.
   416     * Have a wikiserverconfig.py in wiki/server/ so setup.py copies it.
   417     * Fixed inconsistent handling of fragments / anchor IDs:
   418       * Fixed creole and wiki parser, other parsers might need similar fixes.
   419       * IDs with blanks, non-ASCII chars etc. are now sanitized in the same way
   420         for links as well as for link targets, so the user editing a page won't
   421         have to bother with it.
   422         E.g. [[#123 foo bar]] will link to:
   423         * <<Anchor(123 foo bar)>> (moin) or {{#123 foo bar}} (creole)
   424         * headline = 123 foo bar = (moin / creole)
   425         Simple rule: if the link and the target are consistent, it should work.
   426       * The creole wiki parser created non-human-readable sha1 heading IDs
   427         before 1.8.2, now it creates same (sometimes readable) heading IDs as
   428         the moin wiki parser.
   429       * TitleIndex/WordIndex now also use IDs sanitized in that way internally.
   430       HINT: if you manually worked around the inconsistencies/bugs before, you
   431             likely have to remove those workarounds now. Same thing if you used
   432             creole's sha1 heading IDs or IDs on TitleIndex/WordIndex.
   433 
   434   Other changes:
   435     * Updated FCKeditor to 2.6.4 (== many bug fixes in the GUI editor).
   436     * Enhanced privacy by a new setting: cfg.log_remote_addr (default: True),
   437       it controls whether moin logs the remote's IP/hostname to edit-log and
   438       event-log. Use log_remote_addr = False to enhance privacy.
   439     * Streamline attachment_drawing formatter behaviour.
   440     * Search results: only redirect to a single search result for titlesearch
   441       (fuzzy goto functionality), but not for fulltext search results.
   442 
   443 
   444 
   445 Version 1.8.1:
   446   Bug fixes:
   447     * Workaround win32 locking problems (caused by spurious access denied
   448       exceptions on that platform).
   449     * Fix unicode errors that happened when password checker failed a password
   450     * WikiConfig/WikiConfigHelp: fixed wrong language table headings
   451     * Themes: make the margins around trail line work properly
   452     * "modernized" theme:
   453       * make broken links gray
   454       * add new right/center/left/justify css classes
   455       * don't force Arial
   456     * Standalone server: be more specific when catching socket exceptions,
   457       treat socket errors in http header emission in the same way.
   458     * GUI editor:
   459       * Fix heading levels when inserting new headings.
   460       * Fix headers already sent exception when using e.g. edit LOCKing.
   461     * Xapian indexing: fixed missing import for execfilter (only happened on
   462       non-posix platforms like win32)
   463 
   464   * New features:
   465     * Themes:
   466      * Make the TOC shrinkwrap, add white background to navigation macro.
   467        The table of contents looked bad spanning the whole width of the page.
   468        It's made to shrinkwrap now, so it will only get as wide, as the longest
   469        heading. We use display:inline-table, so this won't work in MS IE6,
   470        which still displays it the old way.
   471        Navigation macro now has a white background, to make it more readable
   472        when it's floating over a pre block or TOC.
   473      * Make the numbers in lists in table of contents right-aligned.
   474      * Refactored and extended theme.html_stylesheets() to make alternate
   475        stylesheets possible. Stylesheet definitions now can either be:
   476        2-tuples: (media, href)  # backwards compatibility
   477        or:
   478        3-tuples: (media, href, title)  # new, for defining alternate stylesheets
   479        This works within themes as well as in the wiki config.
   480        See also: http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/alternatives.html
   481 
   482 
   483 Version 1.8.0:
   484   Note: This is a reduced CHANGES, ommitting details from rc/beta test and
   485         also less interesting minor changes and fixes. It shows changes
   486         relative to 1.7.2 release.

   488         http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.8/file/6130eab15936/docs/CHANGES
   489 
   490   New Features: ==============================================================
   491     * HINT: New "modernized" theme - if you use "modern" [default], try:
   492       theme_default = 'modernized'
   493       If you find problems with "modernized", please report them because we
   494       want to use it as default theme in future.
   495     * GUI Editor:
   496       * upgraded to use FCKEditor version 2.6.3
   497       * user can insert and modify various types of MoinMoin links
   498     * New plugin_dirs setting to allow multiple plugin pathes (additional to
   499       the automatically configured plugin_dir [default: data_dir/plugin]).
   500     * @EMAIL@ expands to a MailTo macro call with the obfuscated email address
   501       of the current user.
   502     * New macros "WikiConfig" and "WikiConfigHelp".
   503     * Per-parser quickhelp, 'quickhelp' class variable of parser class.
   504     * Secure session cookies for https (see cfg.cookie_secure).
   505     * Added left/center/right/justify css classes to builtin themes.
   506       Use them like:
   507       {{{#!wiki justify
   508       this content is justified....
   509       }}}
   510 
   511   Removed Features: ==========================================================
   512     * HINT: url_prefix setting (use url_prefix_static or just use the default)
   513     * traceback_log_dir setting (we just use logging.exception)
   514     * editor_quickhelp setting (replaced by per-parser quickhelp)
   515     * Restoring backups with the backup action and related settings (while
   516       creating backups is no big issue and should work OK, restoring them
   517       had fundamental issues related to overwriting or not-overwriting of
   518       existing files - thus we removed the "restore" part of the action and
   519       recommend that you just contact the wiki server admin in case of trouble,
   520       give him your wiki backup file and let him carefully restore it.)
   521     * Removed unmaintained DesktopEdition (moin 1.5.x style) and phpwiki
   522       migration scripts from contrib/ directory.
   523 
   524   Bug Fixes: =================================================================
   525     * GUI Editor - fixed lots of bugs.
   526     * Fixing https detection for servers using HTTPS=1 and also for WSGI
   527       servers not using HTTPS/SSL_ environment, but just wsgi.url_scheme.
   528     * Search results: link to 'view' rendering of found attachments.
   529     * Standalone server: fix serverClass and interface argument processing,
   530       announce used serverClass in log output.
   531     * mointwisted: fixed Twisted start script.
   532     * Logging:
   533       * Use logging framework for messages emitted by warnings module (e.g.
   534         DeprecationWarning), silence some specific warnings.
   535       * Removed superfluous linefeeds in timing log output.
   536     * Bug fix for language not installed (MoinMoinBugs/WikiLanguageNotDefined).
   537     * Fixed editbar hidden comment link cosmetics for sidebar themes (hide the
   538       complete list element).
   539     * MoinMoinBugs/DoubleScriptNameInSitemap (fixing urls given by sitemap
   540       action, if the wiki does not run in the root url of the site)
   541     * Fixed backup action configuration (broke on win32).
   542     * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/PackagesAddRevision.
   543     * SyncPages: add workaround for callers calling log_status with encoded
   544       bytestrings.
   545     * Fixed dbw_hide_buttons javascript.
   546     * HINT: Jabber bot can now be configured to use an authentication realm
   547       which is different from the server's hostname; the xmpp_node
   548       configuration parameter can now contain a full JID and the xmpp_resource
   549       parameter is no longer supported.
   550 
   551   Other Changes: =============================================================
   552     * HINT: new configuration for misc. secrets, please use either:
   553           secrets = "MySecretLooongString!" # one secret for everything
   554       or:
   555           secrets = {
   556               'xmlrpc/ProcessMail': 'yourmailsecret', # for mailimport
   557               'xmlrpc/RemoteScript': 'yourremotescriptsecret',
   558               'action/cache': 'yourcachesecret', # unguessable cache keys
   559               'wikiutil/tickets': 'yourticketsecret', # edit tickets
   560               'jabberbot': 'yourjabberbotsecret', # jabberbot communication
   561           }
   562       Secret strings must be at least 10 chars long.
   563       Note: mail_import_secret setting is gone, use
   564             secrets["xmlrpc/ProcessMail"] instead of it.
   565       Note: jabberbot secret setting is gone, use
   566             secrets["jabberbot"] instead of it.
   567     * HINT: user_autocreate setting was removed from wiki configuration and
   568       replaced by a autocreate=<boolean> parameter of the auth objects that
   569       support user profile auto creation.
   570     * moin import irclog: use irssi parser to format logs, mapped .irc
   571       extension to text/plain mimetype.
   572     * HINT: backup action: backup_exclude (default: "do not exclude anything")
   573       is now a function f(filename) that tells whether a file should be
   574       excluded from backup.
   575       You can get the old regex exclusion functionality by using:
   576       backup_exclude = re.compile(your_regex).search
   577       Be careful with your regex, you might need to use re.escape() to escape
   578       characters that have a special meaning in regexes (e.g.: \.[] etc.).
   579       If in doubt, maybe just leave backup_exclude at the default and don't
   580       exclude anything.
   581     * Speed up javascript comments processing on IE by getElementsByClassName()
   582     * Added sk (slovak) i18n, updated i18n.
   583 
   584 
   585 1.7.3:
   586   New features:
   587     * Secure session cookies for https, see cfg.cookie_secure.
   588     * Add left/center/right/justify classes to builtin themes.
   589 
   590   Fixes:
   591     * Python 2.3 compatibility fixes.
   592     * Fixed https detection for servers using HTTPS=1 and also for wsgi servers
   593       not using HTTPS/SSL_ environment, but just wsgi.url_scheme.
   594     * GUI editor:
   595       * Fix crash when editing a page with non-ASCII pagename and inserting a link
   596       * Fix "headers already sent exception" with edit LOCKs.
   597     * i18n.__init__: Bug fix for wiki language not installed.
   598     * Fixed URLs given by sitemap action, if the wiki does not run at / URL.
   599     * Search results: link to 'view' rendering of found attachments
   600     * Logging:    
   601       * Removed superfluous linefeed in timing log output.
   602       * Use logging framework for messages emitted by warnings module (e.g.
   603         DeprecationWarning), silence some specific warnings.
   604     * Fix dbw_hide_buttons javascript.
   605     * Standalone server:
   606       * fix serverClass argument processing
   607       * fix --interface="" argument processing
   608     * mointwisted:
   609       * added missing pidFile parameter
   610       * better use Config.name for pidFile to avoid conflicts and keep same
   611         behaviour as in the past
   612     * Jabber bot can now be configured to use an authentication realm which
   613       is different from the server's hostname
   614 
   615 
   616 Version 1.7.2:
   617   Fixes:
   618     * Fix leakage of edit-log file handles (leaked 1 file handle / request!).
   619     * Fix for MoinMoinBugs/SystemAdminMailAccountData (using POST and forms)
   620     * Wiki parser: avoid IndexError for empty #! line
   621     * MonthCalendar macro: fix parameter parsing / url generation
   622     * Xapian indexing filters (MoinMoin/filter/ or data/plugin/filter/):
   623       Some indexing filter scripts (e.g. for MS Word documents or PDF files)
   624       failed on windows because of the single-quote quoting we used (that
   625       works on Linux and other Posix systems). The fix introduces platform-
   626       dependant automatic quoting, using double-quotes on win32 and single-
   627       quotes on posix.
   628       HINT: if you use own filter plugins based on execfilter, you have to
   629       update them as the filename quoting (was '%s') is now done automatically
   630       and must not be part of the command string any more (now just use %s).
   631       See MoinMoin/filter/ for some up-to-date code (esp. the PDF filter).
   632     * Prevent CategoryTemplate being listed as a category (it is a Template,
   633       but matched also the category regex) - added to sample wikiconfig.
   634     * LDAP auth: fix processing of TLS options
   635     * UpdateGroup xmlrpc server side: fix wrong arg count error
   636     * UpdateGroup client: use multicall / auth_token, refactor code so that
   637       updateGroup function is reusable.
   638     * Improve Python 2.3 compatibility, add notes where 2.4 is required.
   639 
   640 
   641 Version 1.7.1:
   642   New features:
   643     * New 'cache' action (see developer notes).
   644 
   645   Fixes:
   646     * Security fix: XSS fix for advanced search form
   647     * Avoid creation of new pagedirs with empty edit-log files by just
   648       accessing a non-existant page. If you used 1.7 before, you likely have
   649       quite some trash pagedirs now and you can clean them up by using:
   650       moin --config-dir=... --wiki-url=... maint cleanpage
   651       This will output some shell script (please review it before running!)
   652       that can be used to move trash pages into some trash/ directory and also
   653       moves deleted pages into some deleted/ directory. Maybe keep a copy of
   654       those directories for a while just for the case.
   655     * Server specific fixes:
   656       * standalone (wikiserver.py): fix --pidfile and --group option, fix
   657         operation without a wikiserverconfig.py (use builtin defaults).
   658       * mod_python: work around mod_python 3.3.1 problems with file uploads.
   659         Note: if you are still using mod_python, we strongly recommend you
   660 	      try out mod_wsgi (in daemon mode) - it has less bugs, better
   661 	      security, better separation, WSGI is a Python standard, and moin
   662 	      developers also use WSGI. See HelpOnInstalling/ApacheWithModWSGI.
   663     * revert action: fixed for deleted pages.
   664     * Search:
   665       * Xapian indexing: Removed crappy "hostname" tokenization.
   666         Fixes MoinMoinBugs/1.7 XapianNotWorkingWithLeadingNumbersInTitle.
   667         Also tokenize CamelCase parts of non-wikiwords.
   668       * Make query parser reject more invalid input.
   669       * If query parsing raises a BracketError, at least tell what the problem
   670         is (and not just raise empty  ValueError).
   671       * Category search: ignore traling whitespace after ----
   672     * Argument parser:
   673       * Fixed sort() usage in UnitArgument to be Python 2.3 compatible.
   674       * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/TypeErrorInWikiutils.
   675     * Macros:
   676       * TableOfContents: skip outer-most <ol> levels when page isn't using
   677         the biggest headings
   678       * MonthCalendar: fix MoinMoinBugs/MonthCalendarBreaksOnApostrophe
   679     * xslt parser: fix MoinMoinBugs/DoNotConvertUnicodeToUTF8ForXsltParser
   680     * OpenID RP: make it compatible to python-openid 2.2.x
   681     * PackagePages.collectpackage: removed encoding from file name of zipfile
   682     * Surge protection: exclude localnet no matter whether user is known or not.
   683     * Notifications: fix MoinMoinBugs/DuplicateNewUserNotification
   684     * Script moin account create/disable/resetpw: checks for already existing
   685       user now.

   687   Other changes:
   688     * Prevent CategoryTemplate being listed as a category (it is a Template)
   689       by changing the default page_category_regex.
   690 
   691   Developer notes:
   692     * New MoinMoin.action.cache - can be used to cache expensively rendered
   693       output, e.g. generated images). Once put into the cache, moin can emit
   694       a http response for that content very fast and very efficient (including
   695       "304 not changed" handling.
   696     * New file-like API in MoinMoin.caching (good for dealing with medium
   697       to large files without consuming lots of memory).
   698     * wikiutil.importPlugin supports getting the whole plugin module object
   699       by giving function=None.

   702 Version 1.7.0:
   703   Note: This is a reduced CHANGES, ommitting details from rc/beta test and
   704         also less interesting minor changes and fixes. It shows changes
   705         relative to 1.6.3 release.

   708 
   709   New Features: ==============================================================
   710     * HINT: we added generic UPDATE instructions as docs/UPDATE.html.
   711 
   712     * HINT: Standalone server usage changed:
   713       * Standalone server can now be started via the "moin" script command,
   714         optionally backgrounding itself.
   715         See: moin server standalone --help
   716       * In the toplevel dir, we have renamed moin.py to wikiserver.py (it was
   717         often confused with the moin scripting command).
   718         Now you have:
   719         * wikiserver.py - to start the standalone server
   720         * wikiserverconfig.py - to configure the standalone server
   721         * wikiserverlogging.conf - to configure logging for it (default config
   722           is ok for all day use, but can easily be modified for debugging)
   723         * wikiconfig.py - to configure the wiki engine
   724       * Removed old moin daemonizing script (replaced by moin server standalone
   725         --start/stop)
   726       * We now provide the "moin" script command also for people not using
   727         setup.py, see wiki/server/moin.
   728 
   729     * Logging
   730       * New powerful and flexible logging, please see wiki/config/logging/ -
   731         HINT: you have to upgrade your server adaptor script (e.g. moin.cgi)
   732         and load a logging configuration that fits your needs from there, or
   733         alternatively you can also set MOINLOGGINGCONF environment variable
   734         to point at your logging config file.
   735         If you use some of our sample logging configs, make sure you have a
   736         look INTO them to fix e.g. the path of the logfile it will use.
   737       * Moin now logs the path from where it loaded its configuration(s).
   738 
   739     * Authentication / Sessions:
   740       * HINT: New authentication plugin system, see HelpOnAuthentication. If
   741         you do not use the builtin default for 'auth' list, you likely have to
   742         change your configuration. See wiki/config/snippets/ for some samples.
   743       * HINT: New session handling system (no moin_session any more, now done
   744         internally and automatically), see HelpOnSessions for details.
   745       * Added OpenID client and server support.
   746         See: HelpOnAuthentication and HelpOnOpenIDProvider.
   747       * cfg.trusted_auth_methods is a list of auth methods that put an
   748         authenticated user into the "Trusted" ACL group.
   749 
   750     * User profiles / password recovery / notification:
   751       * New newacount action for creating new user accounts/profiles. If you
   752         don't want users creating new accounts on their own, you can add this
   753         action to actions_excluded list.
   754       * New recoverpass action for password recovery:
   755         If you forgot your password, recoverpass sends you an email with a
   756         password recovery token (NOT the encrypted password) that is valid
   757         for 12 hours.
   758       * New moin account resetpw script for resetting a user's password by
   759         the wiki admin.
   760       * New preferences plugin system, see MoinMoin/userprefs/__init__.py.
   761       * New notification system with an optional jabber notification bot, see
   762         HelpOnNotification. HINT: wiki users have to check their notification
   763         settings, esp. if they want to receive trivial update notifications.
   764 
   765     * The diff action now has navigation buttons for prev/next change and also
   766       a revert button to revert to the revision shown below the diff display.
   767     * ThemeBase: support Universal Edit Button, see there for details:
   768       http://universaleditbutton.org/
   769     * ?action=info&max_count=42 - show the last 42 history entries of the page.
   770       max_count has a default of default_count and a upper limit of
   771       limit_max_count - you can configure both in your wiki config:
   772       cfg.history_count = (100, 200) # (default_count, limit_max_count) default
   773     * The CSV parser can sniff the delimiter from the first CSV line so other
   774       delimeters than ";" can be used.
   775     * Admonition support. Added styling for tip, note, important, warning 
   776       and caution in the modern theme. For more info see HelpOnAdmonitions.
   777     * DocBook-formatter:
   778       * supports HTML entities like &rarr; and &#9731;
   779       * supports the FootNote macro
   780       * supports bulletless lists
   781       * support for admonitions
   782       * will export the wiki page's edit history as the generated article's
   783         revision history. Doesn't add history of included pages.
   784       * supports for the MoinMoin comment element, though only inline comments
   785         are likely to be valid since the DocBook remark is an inline element.
   786     * New Hits macro: shows the total hits for the page it is used on.
   787 
   788   Removed Features: ==========================================================
   789     * HINT: Removed attachments direct serving (cfg.attachments - this was
   790             deprecated since long!). Use AttachFile action to serve attachments.
   791     * Duplicated file attachment upload code was removed from Load action (just
   792       use AttachFile action to deal with attachments).
   793     * Removed 'test' action. If you like to run unit tests, use py.test.
   794     * Removed Login macro.
   795 
   796   Bug Fixes: =================================================================
   797     * Better handling of ImportErrors (farmconfig, macros, wikiserverconfig).
   798     * Fix failure of detection of on-disk cache updates.
   799     * Fix traceback in filesys.py on Mac OS X when "import Carbon" fails.
   800 
   801     * AttachFile action / file up- and download / zip support:
   802       * WSGI: use wsgi.file_wrapper (or a builtin simple wrapper). Fixes memory
   803         consumption for sending of large file attachments.
   804       * FastCGI: flush often. Fixes memory consumption for sending of large
   805         file attachments.
   806       * Use the open temporary file for receiving file attachment uploads
   807         (fixes big memory consumption for large file uploads).
   808       * Catch runtime errors raised by zipfile stdlib modules when trying to
   809         process a defective zip.
   810       * When unzipping member files, decode their filenames from utf-8 and
   811         replace invalid chars.
   812       * Make error msg less confusing when trying to overwrite a file attachment
   813         without having 'delete' rights.
   814 
   815     * HINT: page_*_regex processing had to be changed to fix category search.
   816       If you don't use the builtin (english) defaults, you will have to change
   817       your configuration:
   818         old (default): page_category_regex = u'^Category[A-Z]'
   819         new (default): page_category_regex = ur'(?P<all>Category(?P<key>\S+))'
   820       As you see, the old regex did work for detecting whether a pagename is
   821       a category, but it could not be used to search for a category tag in the
   822       page text. The new regex can be used for both and identifies the complete
   823       category tag (match in group 'all', e.g. "CategoryFoo") as well as the
   824       category key (match in group 'key', e.g. "Foo") by using named regex
   825       groups. \S+ means the category key can be anything non-blank.
   826       If you like to simultaneously support multiple languages, use something
   827       like this: ur'(?P<all>(Kategorie|Category)(?P<key>\S+))'
   828       HINT: after changing your configuration, please rebuild the cache:
   829         * stop moin
   830         * moin ... maint cleancache
   831         * start moin
   832       If you don't do this, your groups / dicts will stop working (and also
   833       your ACLs that use those groups). You better do a test whether it works.
   834 
   835     * Xapian search / indexing / stemming:
   836       * Use text/<format> as mimetype for pages.
   837       * Index also major and minor for mimetypes, so it will find 'text' or
   838         'plain' as well as 'text/plain'
   839       * Fix searching for negative terms.
   840       * Improve result list ordering.
   841       * Index filters: redirect stderr to logging system.
   842       * Remove crappy num regex from WikiAnalyzer, improve tokenization.
   843       * Fix AttributeError that happened when trying to access an attribute only
   844         used with xapian search (but regex search is not done by xapian)
   845       * Fix IndexErrors happening when pages are renamed/nuked after the index
   846         was built.
   847       * Fixed indexing of WikiWords (index "WikiWords", "Wiki" and "Words").
   848       * Fix crash if default language is un-stemmable.
   849       * xapian_stemming: removed some strange code (fixes search
   850         title:lowercaseword with xapian_stemming enabled)
   851       * Fixed category indexing (index CategoryFoo correctly as CategoryFoo, not
   852         Foo - for all languages, see page_*_regex change above).
   853     * Builtin search: support mimetype: search for pages for the builtin search
   854       engine (using text/<format>).
   855 
   856     * Parser fixes:
   857       * Wiki: fix subscript parsing (was broken for cases like 'a,,1,2,,').
   858       * Docbook: fixed detection of WikiWords.
   859       * All: Add ssh protocol to url_schemas for ssh:... URLs.
   860 
   861     * XMLRPC:
   862       * Fix xmlrpc request.read() call to use content-length, if available,
   863         fixes hangs with wsgiref server.
   864       * Wiki xmlrpc getPageInfoVersion() fixed:
   865         * works correctly now for old page versions (was unsupported)
   866         * works correctly now for current page version (reported wrong
   867           data when a page had attachment uploads after the last page
   868           edit)
   869         * returns a Fault if it did not find a edit-log entry
   870 
   871   Other Changes: =============================================================
   872     * Using better ACLs and comments on system/help pages now, just taking
   873       away 'write' permission, but using default ACLs for everything else.
   874     * HINT: If you want to use xapian based indexed search, you need to have
   875       Xapian >= 1.0.0 (and you can remove PyStemmer in case you have installed
   876       it just for moin - we now use the stemmer built into Xapian as it
   877       supports utf-8 since 1.0.0).
   878     * Changed default value of cfg.search_results_per_page to 25.
   879     * Surge Protection: If a user is authenticated by a trusted authentication
   880       (see also cfg.auth_methods_trusted) then he/she won't trigger surge
   881       protection, but moin will just log a INFO level log msg with the user's
   882       name so you can find the culprit in case he/she is overusing ressources.
   883     * HINT: Added MyPages and CopyPage to actions_excluded because MyPages
   884       doesn't work without special SecurityPolicy anyway and CopyPage has
   885       questionable behaviour.
   886     * Load action now just creates a new revision of the target page, the
   887       target pagename defaults to the current page name and can be edited.
   888       If the target pagename is empty, moin tries to derive the target pagename
   889       from the uploaded file's name.
   890       Load tries to decode the file contents first using utf-8 coding and, if
   891       that fails, it forces decoding using iso-8859-1 coding (and replacing
   892       invalid characters).
   893     * HINT: cfg.show_login is gone, see code in theme/__init__.py, this may
   894       affect many themes!
   895     * HINT: a new userprefs/ plugin directory will be created by the usual
   896       "moin migration data" command.
   897     * DocBook-formatter:
   898       * generates a valid DOCTYPE
   899       * table support has been improved
   900       * handling of definitions and glossaries is more robust
   901       * supports program language and line numbering in code areas
   902     * HINT: ldap_login behaves a bit different now:
   903       In previous moin versions, ldap_login tended to either successfully
   904       authenticate a user or to completely cancel the whole login process in
   905       any other case (including ldap server down or exceptions happening).
   906       This made subsequent auth list entries rather pointless.
   907       Now it behaves like this:
   908         * user not found in LDAP -> give subsequent auth list entries a
   909           chance to authenticate the user (same happens if it finds multiple
   910           LDAP entries when searching - it logs an additional warning then).
   911         * user found, but wrong password -> cancel login
   912         * ldap server not reachable or other exceptions -> give subsequent
   913           auth list entries a chance
   914       So please make sure that you really trust every auth list entry you have
   915       configured when upgrading or it might maybe change behaviour in a
   916       unexpected or unwanted way.
   917     * ldap_login now supports failover: if it can't contact your LDAP server
   918       (e.g. because it is down or unreachable), it will just continue and
   919       try to authenticate with other authenticators (if there are any in
   920       cfg.auth list). So if you have some mirroring LDAP backup server, just
   921       put another authenticator querying it there:
   922           ldap_auth1 = LDAPAuth(server_uri='ldap://mainserver', ...)
   923           ldap_auth2 = LDAPAuth(server_uri='ldap://backupserver', ...)
   924           auth = [ldap_auth1, ldap_auth2, ]
   925 
   926   Developer notes: ===========================================================
   927     * Page.last_edit() is DEPRECATED, please use Page.edit_info().
   928     * Page._last_edited() is GONE (was broken anyway), please use
   929       Page.editlog_entry().
   930     * New request.send_file() call, making it possible to use server-specific
   931       optimizations.
   932     * getText's (aka _()) 'formatted' keyword param (default: True in 1.6 and
   933       early 1.7) was renamed/changed: it is now called 'wiki' and defaults to
   934       False. Example calls:
   935       _('This will NOT get parsed/formatted by MoinMoin!')
   936       _('This will be parsed/formatted by MoinMoin!', wiki=True)
   937       _('This will be used as a left side of percent operator. %s',
   938         wiki=True, percent=True)
   939     * Page.url 'relative' keyword param (default: True in 1.6 and early 1.7)
   940       was changed to default False).
   941     * The themedict no longer contains 'page_user_prefs' and 'user_prefs',
   942       this may affect custom themes.
   943     * The rst-parser's admonition class names are no longer prepended with
   944       "admonition_". Instead the class names are now for example "note"
   945       and not "admonition_note".
   946 
   947 
   948 Version 1.6.3:
   949   Fixes:
   950     * Security fix: a check in the user form processing was not working as
   951       expected, leading to a major ACL and superuser priviledge escalation
   952       problem. If you use ACL entries other than "Known:" or "All:" and/or
   953       a non-empty superuser list, you need to urgently install this upgrade.
   954     * Security fix: if acl_hierarchic=True was used (False is the default),
   955       ACL processing was wrong for some cases, see
   956       MoinMoinBugs/AclHierarchicPageAclSupercededByAclRightsAfter
   957     * For {{transclusion_targets}} we checked the protocol to be http(s),
   958       this check was removed (because file: and ftp: should work also) and
   959       it's not moin's problem if the user uses silly protocols that can't
   960       work for that purpose.
   961     * Fixed TableOfContents macro for included pages.
   962     * server_fastcgi: added Config.port = None. If you want to use some port
   963       (not a fd), you can set it now in your Config, e.g. port = 8888.
   964     * category: search matches categories even if there are comment lines
   965       between the horizontal rule and the real categories, e.g.:
   966       ... some page text ...
   967       ----
   968       ## optionally some comments, e.g. about possible categories:
   969       ## CategoryJustACommentNotFound
   970       CategoryTheRealAndOnly
   971 
   972       Note: there might be multiple comment lines, but all real categories
   973             must be on a single line either directly below the ---- or
   974             directly below some comment lines.
   975   
   976   Other changes:
   977     * Added 'notes' to config.url_schemas, so you can use notes://notessrv/...
   978       to invoke your Lotus Notes client.
   979     * After creating a new user profile via UserPreferences, you are logged
   980       in with that user (no need to immediately enter the same name/password
   981       again for logging in).
   982 
   983 
   984 Version 1.6.2:
   985   Fixes:
   986     * Security fix: check the ACL of the included page for the rst parser's
   987       include directive.
   988     * Potential security/DOS fix: we removed cracklib / python-crack support
   989       in password_checker as it is not thread-safe and caused segmentation
   990       faults (leading to server error 500 because the moin process died).
   991     * Fix moin_session code for auth methods other than moin_login (e.g. http).
   992       If you have worked around this using moin_anon_session, you can remove
   993       this workaround now (except if you want anon sessions for other reasons).
   994     * Fix moin_session code to delete invalid session cookies and also create
   995       a new session cookie if it got a valid user_obj at the same time.
   996     * Fix xmlrpc applyAuthToken: give good error msg for empty token.
   997     * Fixed category search, use category:CategoryFoo as search term.
   998     * xapian_stemming = False (changed default) to workaround some problems
   999       in the code enabled by it. Fixes the problems when searching for
  1000       lowercase or numeric titles or word fragments with the builtin search.
  1001     * Fix trail for anon users without a session, do not show a single page.
  1002     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/WikiSyncComplainsAboutTooOldMoin.
  1003     * Wiki parser: fixed strange insertion of unwanted paragraphs.
  1004     * Wiki parser: fix interwiki linking:
  1005       Free interwiki links did not change since 1.5 (they still require to match
  1006       [A-Z][A-Za-z]+ for the wikiname part, i.e. a ASCII word beginning with an
  1007       uppercase letter).
  1008       Bracketed interwiki links now behave similar to how they worked in 1.5:
  1009       Moin just splits off the part left of the colon - no matter how it looks
  1010       like. It then tries to find that in the interwiki map. If it is found,
  1011       a interwiki link gets rendered. If it is not found, moin will render a
  1012       link to a local wiki page (that has a colon in the pagename). It will
  1013       also render a local wiki page link if there is no colon at all, of course.
  1014       Examples:
  1015       [[lowercasewikiname:somepage]] does an interwiki link (if in the map).
  1016       [[ABC:n]] does a local link to page ABC:n (if ABC is NOT in the map).
  1017     * Wiki parser: fix interwiki linking for the case that there are query args
  1018       in the interwiki map entry and you give additional query args via link
  1019       markup (uses correct query arg separator now), e.g.:
  1020       [[Google:searchterm|search this|&foo=bar]]
  1021     * Creole parser: fixed bug that prevents images inside links.
  1022     * Python parser: catch indentation error.
  1023     * PageEditor: fixed copyPage for write restricted pages.
  1024     * GUI editor: fixed javascript error with too complex word_rule regex,
  1025       see MoinMoinBugs/GuiEditorSyntaxError.
  1026     * Fixed FCKeditor dialog boxes for FireFox3.
  1027     * NewPage macro/newpage action: fixed for non-ascii template pagenames.
  1028     * FootNote macro: Fix MoinMoinBugs/FootNoteNumbering.
  1029     * EmbedObject macro: bug fix for image mimetype
  1030     * WSGI:
  1031       * fix TWikiDraw saving a drawing by also evaluating the query args.
  1032       * work around unpythonic WSGI 1.0 read() API, fixing broken xmlrpc
  1033         putPage with mod_wsgi
  1034     * Fix highlighting (see MoinMoinBugs/SearchForPagesWithComments).
  1035     * Fix logfile code for EACCESS errors.
  1036     * Removed the "logging initialized" log messages because it was issued once
  1037       per request for CGI.
  1038 
  1039   Other changes:
  1040     * Show "Comments" toggling link in edit bar only if the page really
  1041       contains comments.
  1042     * Made default configuration of surge protection a bit more forgiving,
  1043       especially for edit action which is currently also used for previews.
  1044     * Updated i18n, system/help pages, added Macedonian system text translation.
  1045     * Improved moin xmlrpc write command's builtin docs and auto-append
  1046       ?action=xmlrpc2 to the target wiki url given.
  1047 
  1048 
  1049 Version 1.6.1:
  1050   New features:
  1051     * Improved params for [[target|label|params]]:
  1052       Added accesskey link tag attribute, e.g.: [[target|label|accesskey=1]].
  1053       Additionally to specifying link tag attributes (like class=foo), you can
  1054       now also specify &key=value for getting that into the query string of
  1055       the link URL.
  1056       The "&" character is important, don't forget it or it won't get into the
  1057       query string!
  1058       E.g. for an attachment, you can use:
  1059       [[attachment:foo.pdf|Direct download of foo.pdf|&do=get]]
  1060       E.g. for linking to some specific diff, you can use:
  1061       [[SomePage|see that diff|&action=diff,&rev1=23,&rev2=42]]
  1062       See also the updated HelpOnLinking page!
  1063     * AdvancedSearch: make multipe categories/languages/mimetype selections possible
  1064     * Added a configuration directive to only do one bind to the LDAP server.
  1065       This is useful if you bind as the user the first time.
  1066       ldap_bindonce = False # default
  1067 
  1068   Fixes:
  1069     * Fix XSS issue in login action.
  1070     * Fix wrong pagename when creating new pages on Mac OS X - that was a big
  1071       showstopper for moin 1.6.0 on Mac OS X.
  1072     * Fixed 1.6 migration script:
  1073       Make sorting python 2.3 compatible.
  1074       Just skip corrupted event log lines.
  1075       Fix link conversion by using data.pre160 as data_dir.
  1076       Fix bad /InterWiki pagenames when encountering interwiki links with bad
  1077       wiki names.
  1078       Improve ImageLink conversion by using its argument parser code.
  1079       Added STONEAGE_IMAGELINK (default: False) switch to wiki markup converter,
  1080       toggle it if you had a very old ImageLink macro in production and the
  1081       converter output has target and image interchanged.
  1082       Fixed UnicodeDecodeError for wrongly encoded attachment filenames.
  1083     * Wiki parser:
  1084       Fix parsing of link/transclusion description and params.
  1085       Fix relative attachment targets.
  1086       Fix supported URL schemes (some got lost since 1.5.8).
  1087       Showing an upload link for non-existing non-text/non-image transclusions
  1088       now (like e.g. *.pdf).
  1089     * RST parser: fix attachment: and drawing: processing
  1090     * Fix quickhelp when editing RST markup pages.
  1091     * Fix Despam action: editor grouping was broken, increase time interval
  1092       to 30 days.
  1093     * Fix AdvancedSearch domain:system search crashing.
  1094     * Only switch off xapian search if we didn't use it because of missing index.
  1095     * Fix saving twikidraw drawings by removing 'java' from spider regex.
  1096     * Fix classic theme's unsubscribe icon's action link.
  1097     * Fix AttachFile action: don't show unzip for packages, only show install
  1098       for superuser.
  1099     * Fix "su user" troubles on UserPreferences.
  1100     * Removed unit tests from ?action=test (due to changes in our test
  1101       environment, using py.test now, this was broken).
  1102     * Duplicated the top directories' moin.py to wiki/server/moin.py so it gets
  1103       installed by setup.py.
  1104     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/1.6.0LanguageIgnoreBrowserConfigurationError
  1105     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/MoveAttachmentNotWorkingWithModPython
  1106     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/1.6.0SupplementationAndAccessRights
  1107     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/RenamingUserAllowsOldUsernameToLogin
  1108     * Fix MoinMoinBugs/GuiEditorExcelPasteExpatErrorUnboundPrefix
  1109 
  1110   Other changes:
  1111     * I18n texts, system and help pages updated, please update your underlay
  1112       directory (see wiki/underlay/...).
  1113     * Improved "moin" script help, invoke it with "moin ... package command --help".
  1114     * Added some .ext -> mimetype mappings missing on some systems (like Mac OS X).
  1115     * Removed ImageLink macro, as this can be easily done with moin wiki link
  1116       syntax now - see HelpOnMacros/ImageLink (the 1.6 migration scripts convert
  1117       all ImageLink calls to moin wiki link syntax).
  1118     * Updated EmbedObject macro.
  1119 
  1120 
  1121 Version 1.6.0:
  1122  * This is a reduced CHANGES, ommitting details from rc/beta test and also
  1123    less interesting minor changes and fixes. If you want to see full detail,
  1124    read it there: http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.6/file/640f21787334/docs/CHANGES
  1125 
  1126    It took MoinMoin development a lot of work and time to implement all the new
  1127    and fixed stuff, so please, before asking for support:
  1128    * take the time to read all the stuff below
  1129    * read the new help pages (copy them from wiki/underlay/ directory)
  1130 
  1131  * HINT: If you are upgrading from a older moin version and want to keep your
  1132    existing data directory, it is essential that you read and follow
  1133    README.migration because the wiki markup and user profiles changed significantly.
  1134    See also more HINTs below...
  1135 
  1136   New features: ==============================================================
  1137 
  1138   User interface: ------------------------------------------------------------
  1139     * Removed "underscore in URL" == "blank in pagename magic" - it made more
  1140       trouble than it was worth. If you still want to have a _ in URL, just
  1141       put a _ into pagename.
  1142     * Discussion pages, see FeatureRequests/DiscussionAndOrCommentPages.
  1143     * cfg.password_checker (default: use some simple builtin checks for too
  1144       easy passwords and, if available, python-crack).
  1145       Use password_checker = None to disable password checking.
  1146     * We now have a drafts functionality (no */MoinEditorBackup pages any
  1147       more):
  1148       * If you edit a page and cancel the edit, use preview or save, a draft
  1149         copy gets saved for you to a internal cache area (data/cache/drafts/).
  1150       * If it is a save what you did and it succeeds, the draft copy gets
  1151         killed right afterwards.
  1152       * If you accidentally used cancel or your browser or machine crashes
  1153         after you used preview, then just visit that page again and edit it.
  1154         the editor will notify you that there is a draft of this page and you
  1155         will see a "Load draft" button. Click on it to load the draft into the
  1156         editor and save the page.
  1157       * The draft storage is per user and per page, but only one draft per page.
  1158     * cfg.quicklinks_default and cfg.subscribed_pages_default can be used to
  1159       preload new user profiles with configurable values.
  1160     * attachment links for non-existing attachments look different now:
  1161       the note about the non-existing attachment moved to the link title,
  1162       the link is shown with nonexistent class (grey).
  1163     * attachment embeddings for non-existing attachments show a grey clip
  1164     * The list of InterWiki sites is editable in the wiki (page InterWikiMap),
  1165       it is getting reloaded every minute.
  1166     * We support some new languages and also have new underlay pages, thanks
  1167       to all translators and people helping with the docs!
  1168 
  1169   Actions: -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1170     * Synchronisation of wikis using the SyncPages action.
  1171     * Xapian (see http://xapian.org/) based indexed search code.
  1172       To use this:
  1173       * Install xapian-core and xapian-bindings on your machine.
  1174         We used 0.9.4, but newer code should hopefully work, too.
  1175       * cfg.xapian_search = True
  1176       * Execute this to build the index:
  1177         $ moin ... index build   # indexes pages and attachments
  1178         $ moin ... index build --files=files.lst  # same plus a list of files
  1179         You should run those commands as the same user you use for your wiki,
  1180         usually this is the webserver userid, e.g.:
  1181         $ sudo -u www-data moin --config=... --wiki-url=wiki.example.org/ \
  1182                index build --files=files.lst
  1183     * New searches:
  1184         - LanguageSearch: language:de
  1185         - CategorySearch: category:Homepage
  1186         - MimetypeSearch: mimetype:image/png (for attachments/files)
  1187         - DomainSearch: domain:underlay or domain:standard
  1188         - History Search: available in advanced ui
  1189       Note: Some currently only available when Xapian is used.
  1190     * New config options and their defaults:
  1191         xapian_search        False  enables xapian-powered search
  1192         xapian_index_dir     None   directory for xapian indices
  1193                                     (can be shared for wiki farms)
  1194         xapian_stemming      True   toggles usage of stemmer, fallback
  1195                                     to False if no stemmer installed
  1196         search_results_per_page 10  determines how many hits should be
  1197                                     shown on a fullsearch action
  1198         xapian_index_history False  indexes all revisions of pages to
  1199                                     allow searching in their history
  1200     * Speeded up linkto search by avoiding read locks on the pagelinks file.
  1201 
  1202     * The action menu now calls the actions for the revision of the page you
  1203       are currently viewing. If you are viewing the current page revision, you
  1204       get the same behaviour as in moin 1.5, but if you are viewing an old
  1205       page revision, action "raw" will now show you the raw text of this OLD
  1206       revision (not of the current revision as moin 1.5 did it).
  1207       Note that not every action does evaluate the rev=XX parameter it gets.
  1208       Also please note that the edit, info, ... links in the editbar do NOT
  1209       use the rev parameter, but operate on the latest page revision (as
  1210       they did in moin 1.5).
  1211     * Info action lost the links for "raw", "print" and "revert" actions,
  1212       because you can now just view an old revision and select those actions
  1213       from the menu there.
  1214     
  1215     * ?action=sitemap emits a google sitemap (XML), listing all your wiki pages
  1216       and the wiki root URL.
  1217       Page                      Priority / Frequency / Last modification
  1218       --------------------------------------------------------------------
  1219       /                         1.0 / hourly / <now>
  1220       cfg.page_front_page       1.0 / hourly / page last edit
  1221       TitleIndex,RecentChanges  0.9 / hourly / <now>
  1222       content pages             0.5 / daily / page last edit
  1223       system/help pages         0.1 / yearly / page last edit
  1224 
  1225     * Action DeletePage and RenamePage can now be used for subpages of a page, too.
  1226     * Added Action CopyPage so you can use now an existing page or page hierarchy
  1227       as template for a new page, see FeatureRequests/CloneOrCopyPages.
  1228     * "Package Pages" action supports attachments now.
  1229     * Added SisterPages support:
  1230       * action=sisterpages will generate a list of url pagename lines for all
  1231         pages in your moin wiki.
  1232       * action=pollsistersites will poll all sister sites listed in
  1233         cfg.sistersites = [(wikiname, fetchURL), ...]
  1234         The fetch URL for the sistersites depends on the wiki engine, e.g.:
  1235         # moin based wiki:
  1236         ('MoinExample', 'http://moin.example.org/?action=sisterpages')
  1237         # oddmuse based wiki:
  1238         ('EmacsWiki', 'http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/test?action=sisterpages')
  1239         # JspWiki based wiki:
  1240         ('JspWiki', 'http://www.jspwiki.org/SisterSites.jsp')
  1241       * If the current page exists on some sister wiki, a link to it will be
  1242         added to the navibar.
  1243       You can use sister wikis for adding another dimension to your wiki UI: use
  1244       it for simple multi language support, or for comments, or anything else
  1245       "related" you need.
  1246       TODO: add sistersites_force with sister sites we link to even if they do not
  1247             have the page yet (will work only for moin as we don't know
  1248             pagename>url transformation of other wikis)
  1249     * showtags action that lists all tags related to a page.
  1250     * action=view does use mimetypes of EmbedObject too and text files will be shown
  1251       by using their colorized parsers
  1252 
  1253   Macros: --------------------------------------------------------------------
  1254     * RecentChanges:
  1255       * If a change has happened after your bookmark, the updated/new/renamed
  1256         icon links to the bookmark diff.
  1257       * If a page does not exist any more (because it was deleted or renamed),
  1258         we link the deleted icon to the diff showing what was deleted (for the
  1259         delete action). For the rename action, we just show the deleted icon.
  1260     * Conflict icon in RecentChanges is shown if a edit conflict is detected.
  1261     * Enhanced SystemAdmin's user browser, so a SuperUser can enable/disable
  1262       users from there.
  1263     * Included EmbedObject macro for embedding different major mimetypes:
  1264       application, audio, image, video, chemical, x-world. 
  1265       You are able to change the defaults of allowed mimetypes in the config
  1266       var mimetypes_embed. The config var mimetypes_xss_protect is used to deny
  1267       mimetypes. The order of both variables is Allow, Deny (mimetypes_embed,
  1268       mimetypes_xss_protect).
  1269     * Added support for @SELF to the NewPage macro.
  1270     * GetText2 macro that allows to translate messages that contain data.
  1271     * Make the FootNote macro filter duplicates and display a list of numbers
  1272       instead of a list of identical footnotes. Thanks to Johannes Berg for the
  1273       patch.
  1274 
  1275   Parsers: -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1276     * Moin Wiki parser: Changed markup for links, images and macros, see these
  1277       wiki pages: HelpOnLinking, HelpOnMacros
  1278     * New wiki markup for /* inline comments */ - they get rendered as a span
  1279       with class="comment", see next item:
  1280     * There is a new item in the edit bar: "Comments". If you click it, the
  1281       visibility of all class "comment" tags will be toggled. There is a user
  1282       preferences item "show_comments" to set if the default view shows them or not.
  1283     * The wiki parser can be used with css classes now:
  1284       {{{#!wiki comment
  1285       This will render output within a div with class "comment".
  1286       You can use any wiki markup as usual.
  1287       }}}
  1288       You can also combine multiple css classes like this:
  1289       {{{#!wiki red/dotted/comment
  1290       This will render a red background, dotted border comment section.
  1291       }}}
  1292       The same thing will work for any other css classes you have.
  1293       If the css classes contain the word "comment", they will trigger some
  1294       special feature, see next item:
  1295     * Wiki nested parser/pre sections work now, using this syntax:
  1296       a) just use more curly braces if you have 3 closing in your content:
  1297          {{{{
  1298          }}} <- does not terminate the section!
  1299          }}}}
  1300       b) use {{{ + some magic string:
  1301          {{{somemagicstring
  1302          }}} <- does not terminate the section!
  1303          somemagicstring}}}
  1304       c) {{{whatever#!python
  1305          # py code
  1306          whatever}}}
  1307       Pitfall: stuff like below does not work as it did in 1.5:
  1308          {{{aaa
  1309          bbb}}}
  1310       Solution:
  1311          {{{
  1312          aaa
  1313          bbb
  1314          }}}
  1315     * Added support for ircs: URLs (secure IRC).
  1316     * New text/creole parser that allows you to use WikiCreole 1.0 markup,
  1317       use #format creole.
  1318     * HTML parser (called "html") that allows you to use HTML on the page.
  1319       Thanks to the trac team for the nice code.
  1320     * Added the diff parser from ParserMarket, thanks to Emilio Lopes, Fabien
  1321       Ninoles and Juergen Hermann.
  1322 
  1323   XMLRPC: --------------------------------------------------------------------
  1324     * actions_excluded now defaults to ['xmlrpc'] - this kind of disables the
  1325       built-in wiki xmlrpc server code (not completely: it will just answer
  1326       with a Fault instance for any request). If you want to use xmlrpc v1 or
  1327       v2, you have to remove 'xmlrpc' from the actions_excluded list (for
  1328       example if you want to use wikisync, mailimport or any other feature
  1329       using xmlrpc). If you enable xmlrpc, it will be possible that someone
  1330       changes your wiki content by using xmlrpc (it will of course honour ACLs).
  1331     * New XMLRPC methods (see doc strings for details):
  1332       * getMoinVersion
  1333       * system.multicall -- multicall support
  1334       * Authentication System: getAuthToken/appyAuthToken
  1335       * getDiff -- method to get binary diffs
  1336       * mergeDiff -- method to local changes remotely
  1337       * interwikiName -- method to get the IWID and the interwiki moniker
  1338       * getAllPagesEx -- method to get the pagelist in a special way (revnos,
  1339         no system pages etc.)
  1340       * getAuthToken -- make and authentication token by supplying username/password
  1341       * applyAuthToken -- set request.user for following xmlrpc calls (within the
  1342                           same multicall)
  1343       * getUserProfile -- method to get user profile data for request.user
  1344     * Added XMLRPC methods for attachment handling. Thanks to Matthew Gilbert.
  1345     * XMLRPC putPage method adjusted to new AuthToken, config vars 
  1346       xmlrpc_putpage_enabled and xmlrpc_putpage_trusted_only removed.
  1347 
  1348   Scripts / Commandline interface: -------------------------------------------
  1349     * moin export dump now better conforms to the theme guidelines.
  1350     * Added a --dump-user option to the moin export dump command.
  1351       Thanks to Oliver O'Halloran.
  1352 
  1353   Security / Auth / AntiSpam / etc.: -----------------------------------------
  1354     * Hierarchical ACLs are now supported, i.e. pages inheriting permissions
  1355       from higher-level pages. See HelpOnAccessControlLists.
  1356     * If you have "#acl" (without the quotes) on a page, this means now:
  1357       "this page has own (empty) ACLs, so do not use acl_rights_default here"
  1358       Please note that this is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from having no ACL line at
  1359       all on the page (acl_rights_default is used in that case).
  1360     * Antispam master url is now configurable via cfg.antispam_master_url.
  1361       The default is to fetch the antispam patterns from MoinMaster wiki.
  1362     * Antispam now checks the edit comments against BadContent also.
  1363     * TextCHAs (text-form CAPTCHAs).
  1364       Due to increasingly annoying wiki spammers, we added the option to use
  1365       TextCHAs (for page save (not for preview!), for attachment upload, for
  1366       user creation (not for profile save)).
  1367       This function is disabled by default. If you run a wiki that is editable
  1368       by anonymous or non-approved users from the internet (i.e. All: or Known:
  1369       in ACL terms), you should enable it in your wiki config by:
  1370       textchas = { # DO NOT USE EXACTLY THESE QUESTIONS!!!
  1371           'en': {
  1372               u'H2O is ...': u'water', # bad: too common
  1373               u'2 apples and three bananas makes how many fruits?': ur'(five|5)', # good
  1374               u'2 apples and three pigs makes how many fruits?': ur'(two|2)', # good
  1375               u'2+3': ur'5', # bad: computable
  1376               u'
  1377           },
  1378           'de': { # for german users
  1379               u'H2O ist ...': u'wasser',
  1380           },
  1381       }
  1382       This means that english users will get some random question from the 'en'
  1383       set, german users will get some from the 'de' set. If there is no 'de'
  1384       set configured, moin will fallback to language_default and then to 'en',
  1385       so make sure that you at least have a 'en' set configured (or whatever
  1386       you have set as language_default).
  1387       You need to use unicode for the questions and answers (see that u"...").
  1388       For the answer, you need to give a regular expression:
  1389       * In the easiest case, this is just some word or sentence (first en
  1390         example). It will be matched in a case-insensitive way.
  1391       * For more complex stuff, you can use the power of regular expressions,
  1392         e.g. if multiple answers are correct (second en example). Any answer
  1393         matching the regular expression will be considered as correct, any
  1394         non-matching answer will be considered as incorrect.
  1395 
  1396       Tipps for making it hard to break for the spammers and easy for the users:
  1397       * Use site-specific (not too common) questions.
  1398       * Don't use too hard questions (annoys legitimate users).
  1399       * Don't use computable questions.
  1400       * Don't reuse textchas from other sites.
  1401 
  1402       textchas_disabled_group = None # (default)
  1403       Set this to some group name and noone in this group will get textchas.
  1404       E.g.: textchas_disabled_group = u'NoTextChasGroup'
  1405 
  1406     * The login page gives now the possibility to recover a lost password, thanks to 
  1407       Oliver Siemoneit. This is especially useful for wikis where access to user 
  1408       preferences is restricted by acl.
  1409     * Session handling for logged-in users and (not by default due to expiry
  1410       problems) anonymous users.
  1411     * Updated the ldap_login code from 1.5 branch, supports TLS now.
  1412       See MoinMoin/config/multiconfig.py for supported configuration options
  1413       and their defaults (and please just change what you need to change,
  1414       in your wikiconfig).
  1415     * Interwiki auth: You need to define cfg.trusted_wikis and
  1416        cfg.user_autocreate to use it. Logging in works by entering:
  1417       Name: RemoteWikiName RemoteUserName
  1418       Password: remotepass
  1419       Then moin contacts RemoteWikiName after looking it up in the interwiki
  1420       map and tries to authenticate there using RemoteUserName and remotepass.
  1421       If it succeeds, the remote wiki will return the remote user profile items
  1422       and your local moin will autocreate an account with these values.
  1423 
  1424   Server / Network / Logging: ------------------------------------------------
  1425     * The standalone server script moved to the toplevel directory. This makes
  1426       it possible to directly start moin.py without additional configuration
  1427       to run a MoinMoin DesktopEdition like wiki setup.
  1428       Be careful: DesktopEdition uses relaxed security settings only suitable
  1429       for personal and local use.
  1430     * Added TLS/SSL support to the standalone server. Thanks to Matthew Gilbert.
  1431       To use TLS/SSL support you must also install the TLSLite library
  1432       (http://trevp.net/tlslite/). Version 0.3.8 was used for development and
  1433       testing.
  1434 
  1435     * cfg.log_reverse_dns_lookups [default: True] - you can set this to False
  1436       if rev. dns lookups are broken in your network (leading to long delays
  1437       on page saves). With False, edit-log will only contain IP, not hostname.
  1438     * Added support for "304 not modified" response header for AttachFile get
  1439       and rss_rc actions - faster, less traffic, less load.
  1440 
  1441     * Added logging framework, using stdlib's "logging" module. Just do
  1442       import logging ; logging.debug("your text"). Depending on configuration
  1443       in the server Config class, your stuff will be written to screen (stderr),
  1444       to a moin logfile, to apache's error.log, etc.:
  1445       logPath = None # 'moin.log'
  1446       loglevel_file = None # logging.DEBUG/INFO/WARNING/ERROR/CRITICAL
  1447       loglevel_stderr = None # logging.DEBUG/INFO/WARNING/ERROR/CRITICAL
  1448       NOTE: this is NOT in wikiconfig, but e.g. in moin.cgi or moin.py or ...
  1449 
  1450     * Added some experimental and disabled code, that uses x-forwarded-for
  1451       header (if present) to get the right "outside" IP before a request
  1452       enters our chain of trusted (reverse) proxies.
  1453       This code has the problem that we can't configure it in wikiconfig, so
  1454       if you want to use it / test it, you have to edit the moin code:
  1455       MoinMoin/request/__init__.py - edit proxies_trusted (near the top).
  1456       We will try to make this easier to configure, but there was no time left
  1457       before 1.6.0 release for doing bigger code refactorings needed for that.
  1458 
  1459   Mail: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  1460     * You can send email to the wiki now (requires xmlrpc), see:
  1461       FeatureRequests/WikiEmailIntegration, HelpOnConfiguration/EmailSupport
  1462 
  1463     * Mail notifications contain a link to the diff action so the user
  1464       can see the coloured difference more easily. Thanks to Tobias Polzin.
  1465 
  1466   Other changes: =============================================================
  1467     * HINT: please copy a new version of your server script from the wiki/server/
  1468       directory and edit it to match your setup.
  1469     * HINT: instead of "from MoinMoin.multiconfig import DefaultConfig" you
  1470       need to use "from MoinMoin.config.multiconfig import DefaultConfig" now.
  1471       You need to change this in your wikiconfig.py or farmconfig.py file.
  1472       See MoinMoin/multiconfig.py for an alternative way if you can't do that.
  1473     * HINT: you need to change some imports (if you have them in your config):
  1474       Old: from MoinMoin.util.antispam import SecurityPolicy
  1475       New: from MoinMoin.security.antispam import SecurityPolicy
  1476       Old: from MoinMoin.util.autoadmin import SecurityPolicy
  1477       New: from MoinMoin.security.autoadmin import SecurityPolicy
  1478     * HINT: you need to change your auth stuff, the new way is:
  1479       from MoinMoin.auth import moin_login, moin_session
  1480       from MoinMoin.auth.http import http
  1481       auth = [http, moin_login, moin_session]
  1482       Do it in a similar way for other auth methods.
  1483     * HINT: you need to change your url_prefix setting in 2 ways:
  1484       1. The setting is now called url_prefix_static (to make it more clear
  1485          that we mean the static stuff, not the wiki script url).
  1486       2. The strongly recommended (and default) value of it is '/moin_static160'
  1487          for moin version 1.6.0 (and will be ...161 for moin 1.6.1). It is
  1488          possible and recommended to use a very long cache lifetime for static
  1489          stuff now (Expires: access plus 1 year), because we require to change
  1490          the URL of static stuff when the static stuff changes (e.g. on a
  1491          version upgrade of moin) to avoid problems with stale cache content.
  1492          Your moin will be faster with lower load and traffic because of this.
  1493          For standalone server, we use 1 year expiry for static stuff now.
  1494          For Apache, Lighttpd and other "external" servers, you have to care
  1495          for configuring them to use a long expiry and change url_prefix_static
  1496          related configuration on upgrade.
  1497       HINT: if you run standalone or Twisted server, the easiest way to get a
  1498             working configuration (with server configuration matching wiki
  1499             configuration) is to NOT set url_prefix_static at all. Moin will
  1500             use matching configuration defaults in this case.
  1501     * url_prefix_action ['action'] was introduced for lowering load and traffic
  1502       caused by searchengine crawlers. Up to now, crawlers where causing a high
  1503       load in internet moin wikis because they tried to get about everything,
  1504       including all actions linked from the user interface.
  1505       Known crawlers only get 403 for most actions, but nevertheless they first
  1506       tried. There was no means keeping them away from actions due to the rather
  1507       braindead robots.txt standard. You can only disallow pathes there, but
  1508       moin's actions were querystring based, not path based (this would need
  1509       regex support in robots.txt, but there is no such thing).
  1510       This changed now. Moin is able to generate action URLs you can handle in
  1511       robots.txt, like /action/info/PageName?action=info. So if you don't want
  1512       bots triggering actions, just disallow /action/ there. Keep in mind that
  1513       attachments are handled by /action/AttachFile, so if you want attached
  1514       files and pictures indexed by search engine, don't disallow
  1515       /action/AttachFile/ in your robots.txt. In order to use this feature,
  1516       set url_prefix_action in your wikiconfig to e.g. "action".
  1517     * We use (again) the same browser compatibility check as FCKeditor uses
  1518       internally, too. So if GUI editor invocation is broken due to browser
  1519       compatibility issues or a wrong browser version check, please file a bug
  1520       at FCKeditor development or browser development.
  1521     * HINT: We removed Lupy based indexed search code. If you were brave enough
  1522       to use cfg.lupy_search, you maybe want to try cfg.xapian_search instead.
  1523 
  1524   Developer notes: ===========================================================
  1525     * We moved the IE hacks to theme/css/msie.css that gets included after all
  1526       other css files (but before the user css file) using a conditional
  1527       comment with "if IE", so it gets only loaded for MSIE (no matter which
  1528       version). The file has some standard css inside (evaluated on all MSIE
  1529       versions) and some * html hacks that only IE < 7 will read.
  1530       HINT: if you use custom themes, you want to update them in the same way.
  1531     * autofilters for databrowser widget. Thanks to Johannes Berg for the patch.
  1532     * changed formatter.attachment_link call (it is now more flexible,
  1533       because you can render the stuff between link start and link end yourself)
  1534     * Page.url() does not escape any more. You have to use wikiutil.escape()
  1535       yourself if you want to write the URL to HTML and it contains e.g. &.
  1536     * The testing wikiconfig moved to tests/wikiconfig.py, the testing wiki
  1537       is now created in tests/wiki/...
  1538     * HINT: Killed "processors" (finally), formatter method changed to:
  1539       formatter.parser(parsername, lines)
  1540     * Refactored some actions to use ActionBase base class.
  1541     * Moved "test" action from wikiaction to MoinMoin/action/
  1542       (and use ActionBase).
  1543     * Moved MoinMoin/config.py to MoinMoin/config/__init__.py.
  1544     * Moved MoinMoin/multiconfig.py to MoinMoin/config/multiconfig.py.
  1545     * Moved "SystemInfo" macro from wikimacro to MoinMoin/macro/.
  1546     * Moved wikiaction.py stuff to MoinMoin/action/__init__.py.
  1547     * Moved wikimacro.py stuff to MoinMoin/macro/__init__.py.
  1548     * Moved wikirpc.py stuff to MoinMoin/xmlrpc/__init__.py.
  1549     * Moved wikitest.py stuff to action/test.py (only used from there).
  1550     * Moved formatter/base.py to formatter/__init__.py (FormatterBase).
  1551     * Moved util/ParserBase.py to parser/ParserBase.py.
  1552     * Moved / splitted request.py into MoinMoin/request/*.
  1553       Most stuff will be broken, please help fixing it (usually some imports
  1554       will be missing and the adaptor script will need a change maybe):
  1555       Tested successfully: CGI, CLI, STANDALONE, FCGI, TWISTED
  1556     * Moved security.py to security/__init__.py.
  1557     * Moved wikiacl.py to security/__init__.py.
  1558     * Moved logfile/logfile.py to logfile/__init__.py.
  1559     * Moved mailimport.py to mail/mailimport.py.
  1560     * Moved util/mail.py to mail/sendmail.py.
  1561     * Moved auth.py to auth/__init__.py.
  1562       Moved util/sessionParser.py to auth/_PHPsessionParser.py.
  1563       teared auth code into single modules under auth/* - moin_session handling
  1564       and the builting moin_login method are in auth/__init__.py.
  1565     * Added wikiutil.MimeType class (works internally with sanitized mime
  1566       types because the official ones suck).
  1567     * Renamed parsers to module names representing sane mimetypes, e.g.:
  1568       parser.wiki -> parser.text_moin_wiki
  1569     * Added thread_monitor debugging aid. It can be activated using:
  1570       from MoinMoin.util import thread_monitor; thread_monitor.activate_hook()
  1571       and then triggered by requesting URL ...?action=thread_monitor - please
  1572       be aware that monitoring threads has a big performance impact on its own,
  1573       so you only want to temporarily enable this for debugging.
  1574       By default, it dumps its output to the data_dir as tm_<timestamp>.log,
  1575       you can change this at bottom of action/thread_monitor.py if you want to
  1576       see output in your browser.
  1577     * Introduced scope parameter to CacheEntry() - if you specify 'farm', it
  1578       will cache into a common directory for all wikis in the same farm, if you
  1579       specify 'wiki', it will use a cache directory per wiki and if you specify
  1580       'item', it will use a cache directory per item (== per page).
  1581       Creating a CacheEntry without explicit scope is DEPRECATED.
  1582     * Smileys moved from MoinMoin.config to MoinMoin.theme.
  1583     * Removed all _ magic in URLs and filenames.
  1584     * request.action now has the action requested, default: 'show'.
  1585     * Cleaned up duplicated http_headers code and DEPRECATED this function
  1586       call (it was sometimes confused with setHttpHeaders call) - it will
  1587       vanish with moin 1.7, so please fix your custom plugins!
  1588       The replacement is:
  1589           request.emit_http_headers(more_headers=[])
  1590       This call pre-processes the headers list (encoding from unicode, making
  1591       sure that there is exactly ONE content-type header, etc.) and then
  1592       calls a server specific helper _emit_http_headers to emit it.
  1593       Tested successfully: CGI, STANDALONE, FCGI, TWISTED
  1594     * setResponseCode request method DEPRECATED (it only worked for Twisted
  1595       anyway), just use emit_http_headers and include a Status: XXX header.
  1596       Method will vanish with moin 1.7.
  1597     * cfg.url_prefix is DEPRECATED, please use cfg.url_prefix_static.
  1598     * d['title_link'] is not supported any more. You can easily make that link
  1599       on your own in your theme, see example in MoinMoin/theme/__init__.py,
  1600       function "title".
  1601     * There is a new Page method called Page.get_raw_body_str that returns
  1602       the encoded page body. This is useful if you just deal with byte data
  1603       (e.g. while generating binary diffs).
  1604     * The TagStore/PickleTagStore system is used to store the syncronisation tags.
  1605     * XMLRPC functions may return Fault instances from now on
  1606     * Moin got multicall support, including a module that makes it usable on the
  1607       client-side without requiring Python 2.4
  1608     * Added no_magic to text_html formatter to disable tag autoclosing.
  1609     * MOIN_DEBUG can be set in the environment to let MoinMoin ignore exceptions
  1610       that would lead to a traceback in the browser. Thanks to Raphael Bossek.
  1611     * There is a new MoinMoin.Page.ItemCache class now with automatic cache
  1612       invalidation based on global edit-log. We currently use it to cache page
  1613       acls, speedup Page.get_rev and reading the page local edit-log.
  1614     * Added wikiutil.renderText parse and format raw wiki markup with all page elements.
  1615     * The user file format has changed, old files will be read correctly but
  1616       will silently be upgraded to the new format so old versions will not
  1617       read the new files correctly (this only affects 'subscribed_pages' and
  1618       'quicklinks' which will be lost when downgrading.)

  1621 Version 1.5.8:
  1622   New features:
  1623     * Added timing.log to help performance debugging. Use cfg.log_timing = True
  1624       to update <data_dir>/timing.log (default is False, meaning no logging).
  1625 
  1626       Example log entries:
  1627 
  1628 
  1629       Timestamp       PID   Timing Flag action     URL
  1630       -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1631       20070512 184401 22690 vvv         None       moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/RssFeeds
  1632       20070512 184401 22690 0.267s    - show       moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/RssFeeds
  1633 
  1634       Timestamp: YYYYMMDD HHMMSS (UTC)
  1635       PID: the process ID of the moin process
  1636       Timing: when action starts, it will be "vvv"
  1637               when it ends, it logs the total time it needed for execution
  1638       Flag (some are only logged at end of action):
  1639       +   Page exists
  1640       -   Page does not exist
  1641       B   user agent was recognized as bot / spider
  1642       !x! Action took rather long (the higher the x, the longer it took - this
  1643           makes it easy to grep for problematic stuff).
  1644       Action: action name (None is when no action was specified, moin assumes
  1645               "show" for that case)
  1646       URL: the requested URL
  1647 
  1648       For more information about tuning your moin setup, see:
  1649       http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/PerformanceTuning
  1650     * Added support for ircs, webcal, xmpp, ed2k and rootz protocols - we
  1651       moved all protocols to config.url_schemas, so this is not empty any more.
  1652       It is possible to use these protocols now on wiki pages and in the
  1653       navi_bar. We just generate the URLs, it is up to your browser what it
  1654       does when clicking on those links.
  1655     * cfg.traceback_show (default: 1) can be used to disable showing tracebacks.
  1656       cfg.traceback_log_dir (default: None) can be used to set a directory
  1657       that is used to dump traceback files to. Your users will get a notice to
  1658       which (random) file in that directory the traceback was been written.
  1659       NOTE: while you can feel free to set traceback_show = 0 and
  1660       traceback_log_dir = None, we will also feel free to reject bug reports
  1661       when you (or your site's users) don't give us enough information (like a
  1662       traceback file) to debug the problem. If you set traceback_show = 0,
  1663       we recommend pointing traceback_log_dir to a directory with reasonable
  1664       free space and putting a page onto your wiki that describes who has to
  1665       get contacted (usually the wiki server admin) in case a traceback happens.
  1666       The admin can then locate the traceback file and submit it to moin
  1667       development, if the bug is not already known (see MoinMoin:MoinMoinBugs).
  1668       Of course we will also need all the other details of a bug report, not
  1669       only the traceback file.
  1670 
  1671   Other changes:
  1672     * Updated spider agents list.
  1673     * Reduce bot/spider cpu usage for SystemInfo, OrphanedPages, WantedPages,
  1674       PageHits, PageSize, WordIndex macros (we just return nothing for bots).
  1675 
  1676   Bugfixes:
  1677     * XSS fixes, see http://secunia.com/advisories/24138/ (item 1 and 2).
  1678     * ACL security fixes:
  1679       * MonthCalendar respects ACLs of day pages now.
  1680       * Check the ACL for the rst markup include directive.
  1681     * Fixed cleaning of edit comments (control chars in there could damage
  1682       edit-log).
  1683     * Fixed in-process caching of antispam patterns (didn't update the cache
  1684       for multi-process, persistent servers).
  1685     * Correct encoding/decoding for surge-log data, fixes leftover
  1686       surge-logXXXXXXX.tmp files in data/cache/surgeprotect.
  1687     * Fixed mode of cache files (mkstemp creates them with 0600 mode).
  1688     * Symbolic entities with numbers (like &sup2;) did not work, fixed.
  1689     * We open data/error.log earlier now and we also use it for FastCGI.
  1690     * Fixed unicode cfg.page_group_regex.
  1691     * Fixed moin.spec to use english date format.
  1692     * GUI converter: fixed conversion of relative wiki links.
  1693     * Fixed NewPage macro button label to not be formatted as wiki text.
  1694 
  1695 Version 1.5.7:
  1696   New features:
  1697     * added url_prefix_local which is used for stuff that must be loaded from
  1698       same site as the wiki engine (e.g. FCKeditor GUI editor applet), while
  1699       url_prefix can be a remote server serving the static files (css/img).
  1700       If not set (or set to None), url_prefix_local will default to the value
  1701       of url_prefix.
  1702     * We save some CPU and disk I/O by having EditTemplates and LikePages macro
  1703       (both used on MissingPage) check whether the requesting entity was
  1704       identified as a spider (e.g. search engine bot) and do nothing in that
  1705       case. Normal users won't see any difference.
  1706     * For AttachFile, you can now choose to overwrite existing files of same
  1707       name (nice for updating files).
  1708 
  1709   Bugfixes:
  1710     * XSS Fixes:
  1711       * fixed unescaped page info display.
  1712       * fixed unescaped page name display in AttachFile, RenamePage and
  1713         LocalSiteMap actions
  1714     * WantedPages listed existing pages that are not readable for the user,
  1715       but are linked from pages that ARE readable for the user (so this is NOT
  1716       a privacy/security issue). We now don't list those pages any more as it
  1717       is pointless/confusing, the user can't read or edit there anyway.
  1718     * MoinMoin: href="http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/TableOfContentsUsesNonExistingIncludeLinks">MoinMoinBugs/TableOfContentsUsesNonExistingIncludeLinks
  1719     * MoinMoin: href="http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/ActionsExcludedTriggerError">MoinMoinBugs/ActionsExcludedTriggerError
  1720     * GUI editor/converter:
  1721       * ignore <col>/<colgroup>/<meta> elements
  1722       * support <a> within blockquote
  1723     * Remove generated=... attribute from pagelink html output (this attr is
  1724       for internal use only). w3c validator is now happier again.
  1725     * Fixed css class "userpref" (not: "userprefs") of the Login form.
  1726     * Fixed the version number check in the xslt parser for 4suite >= 1.0.
  1727     * We reset the umask to the wanted value every request. This should fix
  1728       wrong file modes when used with Twisted (twistd uses a hardcoded 0077
  1729       umask in daemonize()).
  1730     * Avoid trouble when saving pages with antispam function when MoinMaster
  1731       wiki is having troubles (catch xmlrpc Fault).
  1732 
  1733   Other changes:
  1734     * Standalone server does not do reverse DNS lookups any more (this is a
  1735       standard feature of BaseHTTPServer stdlib module, but we override this
  1736       now and just print the IP).
  1737     * We moved the IE hacks to theme/css/msie.css that gets included after all
  1738       other css files (but before the user css file) using a conditional
  1739       comment with "if IE", so it gets only loaded for MSIE (no matter which
  1740       version). The file has some standard css inside (evaluated on all MSIE
  1741       versions) and some * html hacks that only IE < 7 will read.
  1742       HINT: if you use custom themes, you want to update them in the same way.
  1743     * Improved ldap auth:
  1744       * cfg.ldap_name_attribute was removed because of new cfg.ldap_filter.
  1745         If you had ldap_name_attribute = 'sAMAccountName' before, just use
  1746         ldap_filter = '(sAMAccountName=%(username)s)' now.
  1747       * New cfg.ldap_filter used for the ldap filter string used in the ldap
  1748         search instead of the rather limited, partly hardcoded filter we used
  1749         before. This is much more flexible:
  1750         ldap_filter = '(sAMAccountName=%(username)s)'
  1751         You can also do more complex filtering expressions like:
  1752         '(&(cn=%(username)s)(memberOf=CN=WikiUsers,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=org))'
  1753       * Added some processing to filter out result entries with dn == None.
  1754       * We set REFERRALS option to 0 before initializing the ldap server
  1755         connection (this seems to be needed for Active Directory servers).
  1756       * We support self-signed ssl certs for ldaps - completely untested.
  1757       * New cfg.ldap_surname_attribute (usually 'sn'), was hardcoded before.
  1758       * New cfg.ldap_givenname_attribute (usually 'givenName'), hardcoded before.
  1759       * New cfg.ldap_aliasname_attribute (usually 'displayName') - if this
  1760         attribute is not there or empty (in the results of the ldap lookup for
  1761         the user), we just make up the aliasname from surname and givenname
  1762         attribute.
  1763       * We only request the attributes we need from ldap (was: all attrs).
  1764       * We deny user login (and break out of auth chain) for the following cases:
  1765         * if a user is not found by ldap lookup
  1766         * if we find more than one matching entry
  1767         * if the password is empty or incorrect
  1768         * if some exception happens
  1769       * Please note that there is an updated ldap sample config in directory
  1770         wiki/config/more_samples/.
  1771       * Added experimental LDAP SSL/TLS support (untested, please help testing),
  1772         see also the sample config.
  1773     * Work around a IE7 rendering problem with long pages getting more and
  1774       more narrow. We just applied the same "fix" as we used for IE6, using
  1775       "display: none" for span.anchor for IE browsers.
  1776     * RSS feed related:
  1777       * We used to emit a <link> tag for the action=rss_rc RSS feed on any
  1778         page. This was changed, we now emit that link only on RecentChanges and
  1779         the current user's language translation of RecentChanges.
  1780         This was changed because Google Toolbar requests the RSS feed linked
  1781         by such a link tag every time it sees one. Thus, if you used the wiki
  1782         normally, it requested the RSS feed every few seconds and caused
  1783         problems due to surge protection kicking in because of that.
  1784       * HINT for custom theme users: if your theme code calls
  1785         rsslink(), then you need to change that to rsslink(d) for 1.5.7+.
  1786 
  1787 
  1788 Version 1.5.6:
  1789   A general security notice:
  1790       Check your Python version, there was a buffer overflow issue in Python
  1791       recently! Details: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/PythonUnicodeEscapeBug
  1792 
  1793   Bugfixes:
  1794     * Fix AttributeError traceback with Standalone server (if_modified_since)
  1795     * Fix AttachFile "304 not modified" and redirect status code for Twisted
  1796     * http auth: we now decode username and password to unicode (using
  1797       config.charset == utf-8). Same for SSL client cert auth and CN.
  1798     * Avoid infinite recursion in Page.parsePageLinks.
  1799     * Fixed standalone server failing to shutdown if interface == "".
  1800     * Now MoinMoin does not think anymore that every page links to various user
  1801       homepages.
  1802     * Made the irssi parser more tolerant (Thanks to "TheAnarcat").
  1803     * Now multiple formatters can be used per request, the send_page code was
  1804       not reentrant to this regard. Fixes "empty" search results.
  1805     * Fixed problem with "=" in ImageLink macro links.
  1806     * Not a moin bug, but a silly stdlib os.tempnam function made trouble to
  1807       some people because it lets you override the path given in the code
  1808       by setting the environment variable TMP(DIR). We now use a different
  1809       function to avoid renaming trouble when TMP(DIR) points to a different
  1810       file system.
  1811     * Fixed antispam update on every save (Thanks to "TheAnarcat").
  1812     * GUI converter: don't throw away rowclass for tables.
  1813     * GUI editor formatter: allow height for table cells.
  1814     * GUI editor formatter: comment texts are output using the formatter now. 
  1815 
  1816   New features:
  1817     * Mail notifications contain a link to the diff action so the user
  1818       can see the coloured difference more easily. Thanks to Tobias Polzin.
  1819     * FeatureRequests/MoveAttachments - you can move attachments from one
  1820       page to another (and also rename the attachment at the same time).
  1821       Thanks to Reimar Bauer.
  1822     * Added support for linking to attachment: and inline: URLs with ImageLink.
  1823     * Added UNIX socket support for FastCGI, just set the port to some (socket)
  1824       filename. Details see: MoinMoin:FeatureRequests/FastCgiUnixSocket
  1825     * [[Attachlist(pagename,mimetype)]] lists attachments of pagename (default:
  1826       current page) with optional mimetype restriction (default: all).
  1827       Thanks to Reimar Bauer.
  1828 
  1829   Other changes:
  1830     * Minor performance improvements (might be noticeable if you have many
  1831       custom navi_bar entries and high server load).
  1832     * Avoid usage of no-cache because it breaks attachment download on IE6.
  1833       This is a IE bug, not a moin bug.
  1834     * Added XHTML to the unsafe list.
  1835     * Changed the rst parser to be compatible to the new docutils interface
  1836       for directives.
  1837     * Updated EmbedObject macro.
  1838 
  1839 
  1840 Version 1.5.5a:
  1841   Bugfixes:
  1842     * fixed ticket creation to only use constant values
  1843 
  1844 Version 1.5.5:
  1845   HINT: read docs/README.migration.
  1846   HINT: there was NO change in the underlay/ pages since 1.5.4.
  1847   HINT: If you experience problems with the reStructured Text (rst) parser,
  1848         please downgrade docutils to "0.4" because there were major interface
  1849         breaking API refactorings on the docutils trunk.
  1850 
  1851   Bugfixes:
  1852     * GUI editor fixes:
  1853       * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/GuiEditorModifiesInterwikiPreferred.
  1854       * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/TableAlignmentProbsWithGUI.
  1855     * Not a moin bug, but it severely annoyed IE users and also was less
  1856       comfortable for users of other browser: since about 1.5.4, we served
  1857       attachments with Content-Disposition: attachment - so that the user has
  1858       to save them to disk. This was to fix a possible XSS attack using attached
  1859       HTML files with Javascript inside for stealing your moin cookie or doing
  1860       other nasty things. We improved this by using different behaviour depending
  1861       on the potential danger the attached file has when served inline:
  1862       mimetypes_xss_protect = ['text/html', 'application/x-shockwave-flash', ]
  1863       This is the default value. If you know more dangerous stuff, please just
  1864       add the mimetypes there to protect your users and file a bug report
  1865       telling us what we missed.
  1866     * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/ReStructuredTextRelativeLinksBroken, thanks to Stefan
  1867       Merten.
  1868     * Make tickets used for some actions more safe.
  1869 
  1870   New features:
  1871     * edit_ticketing [True] - we protect page save by a ticket (same stuff we
  1872       already use for DeletePage and RenamePage action).
  1873       NOTE: If you don't use your browser for editing, but some tool like
  1874             "editmoin" or "MoinMoin plugin for jEdit", you'll need an update
  1875             of them supporting the ticket.
  1876             Alternatively, you can use edit_ticketing = False setting - this
  1877             is not recommended for internet wikis as it will make spamming them
  1878             easier.
  1879     * If we detect some spammer, we kick him out by triggering surge protection
  1880       (if surge protection is not disabled).
  1881 
  1882 Version 1.5.5rc1:
  1883   Bugfixes:
  1884     * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/XmlRpcBrokenForFastCgi - thanks to Johannes Berg.
  1885     * Fixed gui editor converter confusing of `` and {{{}}} markup.
  1886     * Fixed emission of HTTP headers (esp. Vary: Cache-Control:).
  1887     * Fixed a bad crash that happens (on ANY page!) when you put a *Dict
  1888       page's name as a member into a *Group page.
  1889     * Fix MyPages action title to use an unformatted string.
  1890     * Fix double quoted-printable encoding in generated emails (note: this is
  1891       not a moin bug - this just works around bugs in python stdlib).
  1892     * Fix mode of drawing files (use config.umask).
  1893     * Fix trouble with /?action= urls by dropping getPageNameFromQueryString
  1894       code. 
  1895     * Fixed sre unpickle issues seen on some machines by avoiding to pickle
  1896       the regex.
  1897     * Fix Clock code, add more timers.
  1898     * Worked around FastCGI problem on Lighttpd: empty lines in the error log.
  1899     * Fix (add) locking for caching's .remove() call, small fixes to lock code.
  1900     * Print error message when --target-dir=path is missing from moin export
  1901       dump command.
  1902 
  1903   New features:
  1904     * Added support for "304 not modified" response header for AttachFile get
  1905       and rss_rc actions - faster, less traffic, less load.
  1906     * Limit rss with full diffs to 5 items.
  1907     * Allow surge_action_limits = None to disable surge protection.
  1908     * moin.fcg improved - if you use FastCGI, you must use the new file:
  1909       * can self-terminate after some number of requests (default: -1, this
  1910         means "unlimited lifetime")
  1911       * the count of created threads is limited now (default: 5), you can use
  1912         1 to use non-threaded operation.
  1913       * configurable socket.listen() backlog (default: 5)
  1914     * Added indonesian i18n (id).
  1915     * Some measures against spammers trying to brute force their spam into moin.
  1916     * EmbedObject macro: added mov, mpg and midi support
  1917     * moin ... export dump --target-dir=PATH --page=PAGENAME_REGEX
  1918       You must specify --target-dir (where dump will write the html files to)
  1919       and you may specify --page and either a page name or a regex used to
  1920       match all pages you want to export. Default is to export all pages.
  1921 
  1922   Other changes:
  1923     * Tuning:
  1924       * more efficient locking code on POSIX platforms, we do much less I/O
  1925         for locking now
  1926       * removed most chmod calls in favour of a single os.umask call
  1927     * Improved Python 2.5 compatibility. Note: if you think that MoinMoin
  1928       is using too much RAM, you might want to look at Python 2.5 because
  1929       of its improved memory management.
  1930     * Throw away SAVE comments longer than 200 chars (you can't enter those by
  1931       the user interface, so only spammer using automatic POSTs do them).
  1932     * Updated spider user agent list.
  1933     * BadContent and LocalBadContent now get noindex,nofollow robots header,
  1934       same as POSTs.
  1935     * Standalone opens it logfile unbuffered from now on, thanks to
  1936       Carsten Grohmann.
  1937     * Avoid trouble when request.write() data contains None, just skip it -
  1938       thanks to Juergen Hermann.
  1939     * Instead of showing a ConfigurationError, moin now emits "404 Not found"
  1940       http headers and a hint about what could be wrong. This won't fill up
  1941       your logs just because of typos and spiders still trying old URLs.
  1942

  1948 
  1949 Version 1.5.current:
  1950   Developer notes:
  1951     * We switched to Mercurial SCM, see here for more infos:
  1952       http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinDev/MercurialGuide
  1953

  1955     * fix MonthCalendar macro for non-ASCII pagenames (thanks to Jonas Smedegaard)
  1956     * remove 'search' and 'google' from bot user agent list and add some more
  1957       specific terms
  1958     * Fix the forgotten password email login URL and also properly encode the
  1959       email body. Thanks to Robin Dunn for the patch.
  1960     * Applied a patch by Matthew Gilbert for increased compatiblity with
  1961       latest docutils.
  1962 
  1963 
  1964 Version 1.5.3:
  1965   New Features:
  1966     * Added CSS classes for TableOfContents macro.
  1967 
  1968   Bug Fixes:
  1969     * GUI editor / GUI editor converter:
  1970       * Fixed missing GUI editor link in edit bar.
  1971       * Fixed table/row/cell style spaces.
  1972       * Changed <p> generation for macros.
  1973       * Fixed handling of subpages.
  1974       * Fixed processing of complex list elements (thanks to Craig Markwardt).
  1975       * Fixed processing of html \n (thanks to Craig Markwardt).
  1976       * Fixed joining of comment lines with text below them.
  1977       * Fixed table height attribute crash.
  1978     * Fixed sslclientcert auth.
  1979     * Added some missing files to i18n processing, translatable strings more
  1980       complete now.
  1981     * Change <p> generation from self-closing (<p />) to auto-closing (only
  1982       emit <p>, let browser find place for </p>).
  1983     * Fix eating of newline before tables.
  1984     * Fixed incorrect login hint for not logged-in users trying a disallowed
  1985       action.
  1986     * Fixed nasty missing or double </a> formatter bug (mostly happening when
  1987       user has enabled questionmarks for nonexisting pages).
  1988 
  1989   Other Changes:
  1990     * We catch and ignore html to wiki conversion errors in case of hitting
  1991       the cancel button, so you can get out of the error screen.
  1992 
  1993 Version 1.5.3-rc2:
  1994   New Features:
  1995     * Modified SystemInfo macro to give human readable units and disk usage
  1996     * cfg.editor_quickhelp makes the quick help below the editor configurable
  1997       (at least as far as the default_markup is concerned). If set to None,
  1998       it doesn't display any quickhelp. Thanks to Seth Falcon for the patch.
  1999 
  2000   Bugfixes:
  2001     * Fixed double class attribute for nonexistent links
  2002     * Fixed double </a> with qm_noexist option
  2003     * Fixed table xxx="yyy" style attribute parsing
  2004     * If not (editor_force and editor_default == 'text') then display GUI mode
  2005       switch button (this is only a partial fix, but enough to deny the GUI
  2006       mode to your users completely)
  2007     * Fixed XSS issue which could lead to cookie theft etc.
  2008     * Fixed definition list "same level" indenting.
  2009     * Fixed pagename in log for PackagePages action.
  2010     * Made <p> self-closing and line-anchors more well-behaved, thanks to
  2011       Martin Wilck for the patch. I didn't apply the <ol> patch, because this
  2012       is no real problem, just a problem of a bad standard.
  2013     * Fixed gui editor *bgcolor crash.
  2014     * Support/Fix tableclass attr with gui editor.
  2015 
  2016   Other changes:
  2017     * Moved back UserPreferences action link from menu to top of page (renaming
  2018       it to "Preferences"), added "Cancel" button to make it possible to return
  2019       to the previous page without saving preferences.
  2020     * Removed formatter.url "attrs" keyword arg that took premade html, we use
  2021       separate kw args per attribute now.
  2022     * Moved broken tests to MoinMoin/_tests/broken (= disabling them).
  2023       All "active" tests run ok now.
  2024       If you want to compare, I included the output of this test run:
  2025       $ make test >tests/make_test.out
  2026 
  2027  
  2028 Version 1.5.3-rc1:
  2029 
  2030   New features:
  2031     * HINT: please read README.migration
  2032     * Login and Logout are actions now, therefore you stay on the page where
  2033       you were before.
  2034     * UserPreferences is also an action now and moved from top border (in
  2035       modern theme) to the "more actions" dropdown menu. You also stay on the
  2036       same page.
  2037     * There is also a [[Login]] macro now. You can put it on any page you want
  2038       and if the user is not logged in, it renders the login form. If the user
  2039       is logged in, it doesn't render anything.
  2040     * We check cfg.superuser to be a list of user names (as documented) and
  2041       deny superuser access if it is not. This avoids security issues by
  2042       wrong configuration.
  2043     * auth methods changed:
  2044       HINT: if you wrote own auth methods, please change them as you see in
  2045             MoinMoin/auth.py and test them again before relying on them.
  2046       * now get a user_obj kw argument that is either a user object returned
  2047         from a previous auth method or None (if no user has been made up yet).
  2048         The auth method should either return a user object (if it has
  2049         determined one) or what it got as user_obj (being "passive") or None
  2050         (if it wants to "veto" some user even if a previous method already has
  2051         made up some user object).
  2052       * return value of continue_flag is now True in most cases (except if
  2053         it wants to "veto" and abort).
  2054       * moin_cookie auth method now logs out a user by deleting the cookie and
  2055         setting user_obj.valid = 0. This makes it possible to still get the
  2056         user's name in subsequent auth method calls within the same request.
  2057       * added ldap_login and smb_mount auth methods, see MoinMoin/auth.py and
  2058         wiki/config/more_samples/ldap_smb_farmconfig.py
  2059     * MonthCalendar now takes an additional argument for specifying a template
  2060       to use to directly invoke the page editor when clicking on non-existing
  2061       day pages.
  2062     * Added ImageLink macro. Thanks to Jeff Kunce, Marcin Zalewski, Reimar
  2063       Bauer and Chong-Dae Park for working on it.
  2064     * Lupy stuff (still experimental, partly broken and disabled by default):
  2065       * Attachment search using lupy (lupy_search = 1 in your config)
  2066         Title search will also search attachment filenames.
  2067         Full text search will also search attachment contents.
  2068       * Indexing filter plugins, see MoinMoin:FiltersForIndexing
  2069         Some filters depend on external converters that might not be available
  2070         for any platform (see Depends: line in filter plugin).
  2071         Feel free to contribute more filter plugins, especially if you wrote
  2072         some nice platform independant filter in Python for some popular file
  2073         format! Filters implemented so far (depending on):
  2074         MS Word, RTF, MS Excel (antiword, catdoc)
  2075         PDF (pdftotext)
  2076         OpenOffice.org XML based data formats (-)
  2077         XML, HTML (-)
  2078         text/* (-)
  2079         JPEG's EXIF data (-)
  2080         Binary generic (-)
  2081       * As you might know, Lupy is "retired" (that means it isn't developped
  2082         by its authors any more). We are currently evaluating Xapian as new
  2083         indexing search engine in moin.
  2084         If we succeed, we will replace Lupy stuff by some Xapian interface
  2085         code in moin.
  2086         But: the filters will likely stay, as we also need them with Xapian.
  2087     
  2088     * A new MoinMoin script interface was introduced:
  2089       
  2090       Syntax: moin [options] <cmdmodule> <cmdname> [options]
  2091       
  2092       For example:
  2093       moin --config-dir=/my/cfgdir --wiki-url=wiki.example.org/ \
  2094            export dump --page=WikiSandBox
  2095       
  2096       This will call the "moin" script, which will use the --config-dir and
  2097       --wiki-url options to initialize, then it will go to MoinMoin.script
  2098       module, import the export.dump module from there and run it, providing
  2099       the additional --page value to it.
  2100 
  2101       The old scripts that have not been migrated to this new interface can
  2102       still be found in MoinMoin/script/old/ - including the old migration
  2103       scripts.
  2104     * moin ... account create --name=JoeDoe --email=joe@doe.org
  2105     * moin ... account disable --name=JoeDoe
  2106     * moin ... acount check     <-- this is what usercheck script was before
  2107     * moin ... maint cleancache <-- this is what cachecleaner script was
  2108     * moin ... maint cleanpage  <-- this is what pagescleaner script was
  2109 
  2110   Bugfixes:
  2111     * cookie_lifetime didn't work comfortable for low values. The cookie was
  2112       created once on login and never updated afterwards. So you got logged
  2113       out cookie_lifetime hours later, no matter whether you were active at
  2114       that time or not. This has been changed, we update the cookie expiry now
  2115       on every request, so it will expire cookie_lifetime after your last
  2116       request (not after login).
  2117     * Fixed logout problems when using cfg.cookie_path.
  2118     * Fixed cookie_path for root url wikis.
  2119     * Lupy search now behaves a bit less funky. Still no guarantees...
  2120     * We lowered the twisted server timeout to 2 minutes now (was: 10) because
  2121       it just used up too many files (open TCP connections until it timeouts)
  2122       on our farm.
  2123     * The algorithm used for processing the farmconfig.wikis list was changed
  2124       to work for big farms (>= 50 wikis), too. This works around the python
  2125       "re" module limitation of having a maximum of 100 named groups in a RE.
  2126     * Fixed a TypeError which occurred for formatters that dislike None values.
  2127       (cf. http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/PythonErrorEditingFrontPage)
  2128     * Fixed GUI editor converter error for https:... image URLs.
  2129     * ThemeBase (use by modern/rightsidebar): removed duplicate AttachFile from
  2130       actions menu (we already have it in editbar).
  2131     * Speedup group/dicts scanning for persistent servers.
  2132     * Implemented HEAD requests for standalone server, this should fix some of
  2133       the strange effects happening when using "Save as" on attachments.
  2134     * Not a moin bug, but rather a workaround for non-standard non-ASCII DNS
  2135       hostnames: we just use the IP instead of crashing now.
  2136     * Spurious cyclic usage error in i18n fixed.
  2137     * Fixed antispam for python 2.5a xmlrpclib.
  2138     * I18n for linenumber toggle in listings.
  2139     * All action menu entries are translatable now.
  2140 
  2141   Other:
  2142     * Added css classes for the rst admonitions. Thanks to TiagoMacambira!
  2143 
  2144 Version 1.5.2:
  2145 
  2146   New features:
  2147     * Added FullSearchCached macro which is statically cached.
  2148       Use it if you do not depend on fresh search results but prefer raw speed.
  2149     * Added surge protection, see HelpOnConfiguration/SurgeProtection.
  2150     * Allow hex and symbolic entities.
  2151     * If there is a user with empty password, we just generate a random one
  2152       when he requests it getting sent by mail. Thanks to Reimar Bauer.
  2153     * The superuser now can switch to another user using UserPreferences -
  2154       nice to help your users when they forgot their password or need other
  2155       help. You need to logout/relogin to use your own userid afterwards.
  2156       This function only works correctly if you use moin_cookie authentication.
  2157       Thanks to Reimar Bauer.
  2158     * Add new markup for bulletless lists: just use a "." instead of "*".
  2159 
  2160   Other changes:
  2161     * Added "voyager" to bot useragent list.
  2162     * Added locking for caching subsystem.
  2163     * Deron Meranda's formatter API cleanup.
  2164     * Added div and span to formatter API.
  2165     * Removed old unfinished form and export code.
  2166     * updated i18n
  2167 
  2168   Fixes:
  2169    * Fixed table attribute parsing.
  2170    * Fixed cookie handling wrt properties adherance.
  2171    * The new "." list markup makes it possible to have a bulletless list with
  2172      elements on the same level. Before this change and only using indentation
  2173      with blanks, that would get merged into a single paragraph.
  2174    * It is possible now to have multiple paragraphs in the same list element,
  2175      just leave an empty line in between the paragraphs.
  2176    * Fixed GAP processing for ordered lists.
  2177    * Fix text_gedit formatter's invalid list nesting.
  2178    * Fixed hr crash in blockquote (but needs more work).
  2179    * Fixed FootNote's formatter usage.
  2180    * Fixed rst's headline levels.
  2181    * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/WikiParserThinksItIsInsidePreWhenItIsNot
  2182    * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/ListItemGeneratedOutsideList
  2183    * Fixed that macros were followed by a wrong <p>.
  2184    * Added <blockquote> to the block elements in the text_html formatter,
  2185      so it does not close it erratically when you close a inner <p>.
  2186    * GUI editor converter now also accept http: urls without // (relative or
  2187      same server urls).
  2188    * Fixed the DocBook parser in cases where the pagename was non-ascii.
  2189    * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/ProcessInlineDontSupportUlElement
  2190 
  2191 
  2192 Version 1.5.1:
  2193 
  2194   Fixes:
  2195     * Fixed rst parser docutils version check
  2196     * Repaired attachment unzipping feature.
  2197     * Fixed the AddRevision command of the PackageInstaller.
  2198     * improved the migration scripts (used to migrate pre-1.3 wikis to 1.3+):
  2199       * do not crash on empty lines in event log
  2200       * fix edit log format for very old moin data (like 0.11)
  2201       * workaround for an ugly win32 operating system bug leading to wiki text
  2202         file mtime not matching edit logs timestamp values if there was some
  2203         timezone change since last edit (e.g. a daylight saving tz switch),
  2204         but differing 3600s.
  2205         This affected pre-1.3 moin wiki servers running on win32 OS only.
  2206         We now try to correct those inconsistencies in mig05 by fuzzy matching.
  2207     * fixed bracketed link scheme icon (css class)
  2208     * we included a modified copy of Python 2.4.2's copy.py as some previous
  2209       python versions seem to have problems (2.3.x, x < 5 and also 2.4[.0]),
  2210       see: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/DeepCopyError
  2211       Our own copy.py was slightly modified to run on 2.3.x and 2.4.x.
  2212     * Fixed the problem of not being able to change the date/time format back
  2213       to "Default" (UserPreferences).
  2214     * We generate the GUI editor footer now the same way as the text editor
  2215       footer.
  2216     * Include a CSS workaround for yet another IE bug, see:
  2217       MoinMoinBugs:InternetExplorerPeekABooBugInRightSideBar
  2218     * classic theme: added GUI editor link
  2219     * classic theme: added pagename header to editor screen
  2220     * the "mail enabled" check now also checks whether mail_from is set
  2221 
  2222   Other changes:
  2223     * Updated FCKeditor to current CVS (2006-01-08 == 2.2+)
  2224     * Split up show_hosts into show_hosts and show_names
  2225     * attachment:file%20with%20spaces.txt in attachment list
  2226     * added support for file:// in GUI editor link dialogue, see also:
  2227       MoinMoin:FileLinks
  2228     * cfg.mail_smarthost now supports "server:port" syntax, the default port
  2229       is 25, of course.
  2230     * removed unused kwargs showpage/editable/form from wikiutil.send_footer
  2231     * updated i18n (translation texts, additional languages)
  2232     * removed interwiki:pagename from print view's top of page, added it to
  2233       the "lasted edited" line at bottom right.
  2234 
  2235 
  2236 Version 1.5.0:
  2237   HINT: 1.5.0 uses the same data/pages format as 1.3.x. The only thing you want
  2238         to check is whether the 1.5.x version you are upgrading to has NEW mig
  2239         scripts compared to the version you are running now (e.g. in 1.3.5 we
  2240         added some scripts that fixed some small problems).
  2241         See the MoinMoin/scripts/migration/ directory.
  2242         You must run every mig script in sequence and only ONCE ever.
  2243   Fixes:
  2244     * Fix <x=y> table attributes parsing. Thanks to Reimar Bauer.
  2245     * Fixed a few bugs in the reStructured text parser. Note that you
  2246       need to install docutils 0.3.10 or newer (snapshot from December 2005
  2247       or newer) to make reStructuring parsing work:
  2248      * Case preservation for anonymous links
  2249      * MoinMoin links get the appropriate CSS class
  2250      * Images do not get special CSS markup anymore
  2251      Thanks to Matthew Gilbert.
  2252     * Fixed a bug in the WSGI code which led to incorrect exception handling.
  2253     * Removed all nationality flags. They used to be used for indicating some
  2254       specific language (NOT nationality) and this was simply wrong and a bad
  2255       idea.
  2256     * Fixed some header rendering issues (CSS).
  2257     * SystemAdmin macro now checks against cfg.superuser list.
  2258 
  2259   Other changes:
  2260     * Added turkish i18n. To be considered as alpha as it got in last minute.
  2261 
  2262 
  2263 Version 1.5.0rc1:
  2264   This is the first release candidate of MoinMoin 1.5.0.
  2265   
  2266   Fixes:
  2267     * fixed broken logs when a DeletePage (maybe also RenamePage) comment
  2268       contained CR/LF characters (could happen when using copy&paste)
  2269     * fixed GUI editor MoinEditorBackup page containing HTML instead of wiki
  2270       markup
  2271     * fixed invalid HTML in FootNotes
  2272     * fixed HTML source in EditorBackup after canceling GUI editor
  2273     * Footnotes of included pages are not shown at the bottom of the including page.
  2274     * Bug in Dict handling that often breaks first entry
  2275 
  2276 Version 1.5.0beta6:
  2277   Authentication:
  2278     * Added SSO module for PHP based apps. Currently supported: eGroupware 1.2.
  2279       No need to login in two systems anymore - MoinMoin will read the PHP session
  2280       files.
  2281 
  2282   Fixes:
  2283     * Improved rendering of bullet lists and external links in Restructured text.
  2284       Thanks to Matthew Gilbert.
  2285     * Fixed modern theme rendering, including some fixes and workarounds for
  2286       broken MS IE.
  2287     * When checking for email uniqueness, do not compare with disabled user
  2288       profiles.
  2289     * Fix sending of HTTP headers for Despam action.
  2290     * Add some margin left and right of the link icons.
  2291 
  2292   Other changes:
  2293     * Made it easier for auth methods needing a user interface (like ldap or
  2294       mysql stuff). Unlike http auth, they usually need some "login form".
  2295       We made UserPreferences login form values (name, password, login, logout)
  2296       available as kw args of the auth method, so it is easy and obvious now.
  2297     * Make login and logout show at the same place. Is only shown when
  2298       show_login is True (default).
  2299     * Disabled login using &uid=12345.67.8910 method. Please use name/password.
  2300     * Made builtin moin_cookie authentication more modular: the cookie is now
  2301       touched by MoinMoin.auth.moin_cookie only, with one minor discomfort:
  2302       When creating a user, you are not automatically logged in any more.
  2303     * We now use the packager for additional help and system pages in all other
  2304       languages except English. The packages are attached to SystemPagesSetup
  2305       page and can be installed from there after getting "superuser" powers.
  2306       The "extra" package contains a collection of orphan pages not listed on
  2307       some SystemPagesIn<Language>Group page.
  2308 
  2309 
  2310 Version 1.5.0beta5:
  2311   Fixes:
  2312     * Fixed a minor user interface bug: it showed RenamePage and DeletePage
  2313       actions in the menu if you only had write rights and then complained
  2314       when you really tried when you had no delete rights additionally.
  2315     * We don't remove RenamePage and DeletePage from menu any more if user is
  2316       unknown. This stuff is only driven by ACLs now.
  2317     * Some fixes to Despam action.
  2318     * Fixed moin_dump (broken by some recent theme init change).
  2319     * Fixed a few tests by moving the theme init from moin_dump to RequestCLI.
  2320     * removed old_onload reference from infobox.js
  2321     * Fixed MoinMoin logo for IE.
  2322     * search: fixed whitespace handling in linkto: search terms
  2323     * Increased stability of the tests system by outputting results to sys.stdout
  2324       instead of request. Note that this changes the semantics for e.g. mod_py or
  2325       mod_fcgi.
  2326     * Fixed packaging system in the case of AddRevision that does not alter the page.
  2327     * Fixed a few bugs in the XML formatters (dom_xml, text_xml, xml_docbook).
  2328     * Fixed link icons. We now just use a.xxx.before where xxx is the link scheme,
  2329       e.g. a.http.before. See theme's common.css.
  2330     * Hopefully fixed some issue with non-ASCII attachment filenames.
  2331     * Workaround for Opera 8.5 making silly "No addition" categories.
  2332     * Do not show GUI editor for non-wiki format pages, because we only have a
  2333       converter from html to wiki right now.
  2334     * Fix the modern CSS issues for editbar, when it shifted content far right.
  2335       Also removed the absolute height value that never was right.
  2336     * Fix mod_python adaptor bugs failing to handle Location correctly.
  2337       See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339543
  2338 
  2339   Other changes:
  2340     * Added irc:// to the builtin supported link schemas. You can remove it
  2341       from config.url_schemas in case you have patched it in there.
  2342     * Added cfg.user_autocreate (default: False). Use True to enable user
  2343       profile autocreation, e.g. when you use http authentication, so your
  2344       externally authenticated users don't need to create their moin profile
  2345       manually. The auth method (see cfg.auth list) must check this setting
  2346       if it supports auto creation.
  2347     * Added user_autocreate support for auth.http and auth.sslclientcert.
  2348     * Added "." and "@" to allowed characters in usernames. This is needed
  2349       e.g. when using mod_pubcookie for authentication. mod_pubcookie returns
  2350       userids like "geek@ANDREW.CMU.EDU" (e.g. the Kerberos domain is part of
  2351       the id). Thanks to Brian E. Gallew for his patch, which we used for
  2352       inspiration for user autocreation changes.
  2353     * Changed auth method to return a tuple (user_obj, continue_flag), see
  2354       comments in auth.py.
  2355     * auth methods now create user objects with kw args auth_method and
  2356       auth_attribs, so that moin knows later how the user was authenticated
  2357       and which user object attributes were determined by the auth method.
  2358     * Added MoinMoin/scripts/import/IrcLogImporter.py to import supybot's
  2359       IRC logs into a moin wiki. We use MonthCalendar compatible page names,
  2360       so you can use the calendar for showing / navigating the logs.
  2361     * Removed packager binary from FCKeditor (fixing a Debian policy problem).
  2362     * Worked around .png transparency bugs of IE with the new logo. We ship
  2363       two logos: moinmoin.png without an alpha channel (IE compatible) and
  2364       moinmoin_alpha.png which has an alpha channel and looks better on
  2365       browsers with full .png support.
  2366     * Allow a .zip file to have a directory in it if it is the only one.
  2367 
  2368 Version 1.5.0beta4:
  2369   Fixes:
  2370     * use <span class="anchor"> instead of <a> for line-xxx anchors, this
  2371       fixes some rendering problems on IE
  2372     * Fixed the ReStructured text parser when it was used with non-HTML
  2373       formatters. Increased compatiblity with new docutils code.
  2374       (Thanks to Matt Gilbert.)
  2375   Other changes:
  2376     * cfg.stylesheets = [] (default). You can use this on wiki or farm level
  2377       to emit stylesheets after the theme css and before the user prefs css.
  2378       The list entries must be ('screen', '/where/ever/is/my.css') style.
  2379     * Added sample code for auth using an external cookie made by some other
  2380       program. See contrib/auth_externalcookie/*. You need to edit it to
  2381       fit whatever cookie you want to use.
  2382 
  2383 Version 1.5.0beta3:
  2384   Fixes:
  2385     * fixed editor preview throwing away page content for new pages
  2386     * require POST for userform save and create* action
  2387     * use request.normalizePagename() while collecting pagelinks
  2388     * do not offer gui editor for safari
  2389   Other changes:
  2390     * tell user if account is disabled
  2391     * added support for linking to .ico and .bmp
  2392     * attachment methods for the text_xml and xml_docbook formatters
  2393     * new favicon
  2394     * updated i18n (fixed nl, did nobody notice this?) and underlay
  2395     * changed show_interwiki default to 0
  2396 
  2397 Version 1.5.0beta2:
  2398   Fixes:
  2399     * fix wrong _ in title links (MoinMoinBugs/AddSpaceWikiNameAtHead)
  2400     * fix gui editor (converter) crash on save
  2401     * MoinMoinBugs/PageHitsFails
  2402     * MoinMoinBugs/PackagePagesFailsBecauseAllowedActionsMissing
  2403     * Avoid destroying existing page content if editor is called with
  2404       template parameter for an existing page.
  2405     * fix countdown javascript for browser status line in editor
  2406     * added page title display for editor
  2407     * added header div for classic theme
  2408 
  2409   Authentication and related:
  2410     * Added a WhoAmI.py wiki xmlrpc plugin to check whether auth works
  2411       correctly for xmlrpc. There is a counterpart script WhoAmI.py that
  2412       uses http auth when calling the xmlrpc plugin, so you can use it to
  2413       check http auth.
  2414 
  2415 Version 1.5.0beta1:
  2416     * Requirements changed to require Python >= 2.3. We recommend that
  2417       you use the latest Python release you can get. The reason we
  2418       dropped 2.2.2 support is because no developer or tester uses this
  2419       old version any more, so incompatibilities crept in the code
  2420       without anybody noticing. Using some recent Python usually is no
  2421       real problem, see there for some hints in case you still run an
  2422       old python: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/NewPythonOnOldLinux
  2423       The hint also does apply to other POSIX style operating systems,
  2424       not only Linux.
  2425     * We recommend you use MoinMoin/scripts/cachecleaner.py to clean the
  2426       wiki's cache (see comments at top of the script).
  2427       The cache will automatically be rebuilt (some operations may take
  2428       some time when first being used, e.g. linkto: search, so be patient!).
  2429 
  2430   Config Changes:
  2431      * there is a file CHANGES.config with just the recently changed stuff
  2432        from multiconfig.py
  2433      * new defaults:
  2434        * page_front_page old: u"FrontPage" new: u"HelpOnLanguages"
  2435          please just read the help page in case you see it :)
  2436        * bang_meta old: 0 new: 1
  2437        * show_section_numbers old: 1 new: 0
  2438        * some regexes that used to be [a-z]Uxxxx$ are now [a-z0-9]Uxxxx$
  2439        * navi_bar has no page_front_page as first element any more
  2440      * removed settings and code [new behaviour]:
  2441        * acl_enabled [1]
  2442        * allow_extended_names [1]
  2443        * allow_numeric_entities [1]
  2444        * backtick_meta [1]
  2445        * allow_subpages [1]
  2446      * new settings:
  2447       * cfg.mail_sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i" can be used if sending
  2448         via SMTP doesn't work on your server. Default is None and that means
  2449         using SMTP.
  2450       * language_default replaces the old default_lang setting (just renamed).
  2451       * language_ignore_browser = True can be used to let moin ignore the
  2452         user's browser settings (e.g. if you run a local-language only wiki
  2453         and your users use misconfigured or buggy browsers often). Default is
  2454         False. Don't forget to set language_default when using this.
  2455  
  2456     * Wiki Editor changes / new WYSIWYG editor
  2457      * fully imported the javascript based LGPLed FCKeditor (many thanks
  2458       to Fred CK for his great work). See http://fckeditor.net/ for details.
  2459      * config for FCKeditor is at wiki/htdocs/applets/moinfckeditor.js
  2460      * added cfg.interwiki_preferred (default = []) to set a list of wikis to
  2461        show at the top of the wiki selection list when inserting an
  2462        interwiki link (just use the same wiki name as in interwiki
  2463        map). If the last list item is None, then the preferred wikis
  2464        will not be followed by the entries of the interwiki map.
  2465     * moved save/preview/... buttons to the top so that they can be
  2466       easily reached
  2467     * reduced edit_rows default to 20 lines
  2468     * Added support for edit by doubleclick in the diff view
  2469 
  2470     * Improved wiki farm support
  2471      * make user files sharable between several wikis in a farm
  2472       * allow/use interwiki subscriptions
  2473       * use interwiki links in page trail
  2474       * save bookmark per wiki name
  2475      * cfg.cookie_domain can be used to set a cookie valid for a complete
  2476        domain (default: None == only for this host). If you use '.domain.tld',
  2477        the cookie will be valid for all hosts *.domain.tld - good for host
  2478        based wiki farms.
  2479      * cfg.cookie_path can be used to set a cookie valid for a wiki farm under
  2480        some base path (default: None == only for this wiki's path). If you use
  2481        '/wikifarm',  the cookie will be valid for all wikis
  2482        server.tld/wikifarm/* - good for path based wiki farms.
  2483      * Interwiki user homepage (if you have MANY users)
  2484        Generated links for usernames are interwiki now, use cfg.user_homewiki
  2485        (default: 'Self') to specify in which wiki the user home pages are
  2486        located. Note: when pointing this to another wiki, the /MoinEditorBackup
  2487        functionality will be disabled.
  2488        @SIG@ also uses interwiki when needed.
  2489 
  2490     * Authentication, ACLs and related
  2491      * Modular authentication: cfg.auth is a list of functions that return a
  2492        valid user or None, use it like this:
  2493            from MoinMoin.auth import http, moin_cookie
  2494            auth = [http, moin_cookie]
  2495      * cfg.auth_http_enabled was removed, please use cfg.auth instead.
  2496      * http auth now supports "Negotiate" scheme, too
  2497      * Added sslclientcert auth method (Apache: untested, Twisted: not
  2498        implemented, IIS: no idea). See MoinMoin/auth.py for details.
  2499        Submit a patch if you have improvements.
  2500      * cfg.superuser is a list of unicode usernames. It is used by some
  2501        critical operations like despam action or PackageInstaller.
  2502      * removed allowed_actions, we now use actions_excluded only and it
  2503        defaults to [], that means, no action is excluded, everything is
  2504        allowed (limited by ACLs). In case of RenamePage and DeletePage,
  2505        this shouldn't be a problem as both can be reverted. In case you
  2506        did not allow attachments, you now have to use:
  2507        actions_excluded = ['AttachFile']
  2508      * special users (All, Known, Trusted) in Groups are now supported
  2509      * MoinMoin.security.autoadmin SecurityPolicy added
  2510        When using this security policy, a user will get admin rights on his
  2511        homepage (where pagename == username) and its sub pages. This is needed
  2512        for the MyPages action, but can also get used for manual ACL changes.
  2513        It can also be used for Project page auto admin functionality, see the
  2514        comments in the script for details.
  2515        Further it can automatically create the user's group pages when the
  2516        user saves his homepage.
  2517      * there is a UpdateGroup xmlrpc call, see MoinMoin/xmlrpc/UpdateGroup.py -
  2518        you can use this to update your *Group pages e.g. when generating them
  2519        from an external group database.
  2520 
  2521     * UserPreferences changes
  2522      * Alias name: is used for display purposes, when "name" is cryptic. It is
  2523        shown e.g. in the title attribute of userid links (displayed when
  2524        moving the mouse over it).
  2525      * "Publish my email (not my wiki homepage) in author info" - use this
  2526        if you don't have a wiki homepage, but if you want to be contactable
  2527        by email. When you edit a page, your email address will be published
  2528        as mailto: link on RecentChanges, at bottom of page (last editor) and
  2529        in page info. If the wiki runs publically on the internet, be careful
  2530        using this or your email address might be collected by spammers.
  2531      * Preferred Editor: whether you want to use the text editor (as in
  2532        previous moin versions), the gui editor (new!) or both (you will get
  2533        2 edit links in that case).
  2534      * a user can add/remove the current page to/from his quicklinks with an
  2535        appropriate action now
  2536      * if cfg.user_email_unique = False, we don't require user's email
  2537        addresses to be unique
  2538      * removed show_fancy_links user preferences setting to simplify code and
  2539        caching. Displaying those icons is now done by CSS styles (see
  2540        common.css). Maybe needs fixing for non-standard themes and RTL langs.
  2541 
  2542     * Markup
  2543      * added strikethrough markup: --(striked through text here)--
  2544      * @ME@ expands to just the plain username (no markup added) on save
  2545     
  2546     * User homepages
  2547      * when a user accesses his own non-existing homepage (pagename ==
  2548        username), the wiki will present the MissingHomePage system page
  2549        content, explaining what a user homepage is good for and offer
  2550        one-click editing it with content loaded from HomepageTemplate
  2551      * creation of homepage subpages is assisted by the MyPages action, which
  2552        offers rw, ro page creation (and a related group) or creation of private
  2553        pages. If you are not in the user_homewiki, you will get redirected
  2554        there first.
  2555 
  2556   Other changes/new features:
  2557     * Added PackageInstaller and unzipping support (see wiki page
  2558       HelpOnActions/AttachFile for further details).  PackageInstaller requires
  2559       the user to be in cfg.superuser list.
  2560      * Added an PackagePages action to simplify the package creation.
  2561     * Added location breadcrumbs - when you are on some subpage, the page
  2562       title parts link to the corresponding parent pages, the last part does
  2563       the usual reverse linking.
  2564     * added WSGI server support, thanks to Anakim Border, see:
  2565       wiki/server/moinwsgi.py (moin as WSGI app, uses the flup WSGI server,
  2566                                see http://www.saddi.com/software/flup/)
  2567       MoinMoin/server/wsgi.py (adaptor code)
  2568     * added a "Despam" action to make de-spamming a wiki easy (mass revert
  2569       bad changes done by a single author or bot). You need to be in
  2570       cfg.superuser to use it.
  2571     * Better diffs with links to anchors to the changed places
  2572     * Enhanced table support in the DocBook formatter.
  2573     * Added 'moin' daemon script, that let you run moin standalone
  2574       server as daemon and control the server with simple command line
  2575       intreface: moin start | stop | restart | kill
  2576     * Add 'restart' option to mointwisted script
  2577     * Add properties option to standalone server config. Allow
  2578       overriding any request property like in other server types.
  2579     * Add support for running behind proxy out of the box with out
  2580       manual url mapping.
  2581       See HelpOnConfiguration/IntegratingWithApache
  2582     * added a WikiBackup action, configure it similar to this:
  2583       data_dir = "/path/to/data"
  2584       backup_include = [data_dir, ] # you can add other dirs here
  2585       backup_users = ["BackupUserName", ] # only TRUSTED users!
  2586       You usually don't need to change the default backup_exclude setting.
  2587       The default backup_include list is EMPTY and so will be your
  2588       backup in case you don't configure it correctly.
  2589       If you put your data_dir there, the backup will contain private
  2590       user data like email addresses and encrypted passwords.
  2591     * Added a SubscribeUser action which allows the administrator to subscribe users to the
  2592       current page.
  2593     * Added thread count to SystemInfo macro.
  2594     * 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.
  2595     * Added a RenderAsDocbook action which redirects to the DocBook formatter.
  2596     * Added searching for wiki-local words lists under <data_dir>/dict/.
  2597       They are used additionally to the global lists in MoinMoin/dict/.
  2598     * moin_dump now also dumps attachments referenced from the page.
  2599       It doesn't dump stuff that is just attached, but not referenced!
  2600     * On RecentChanges we now force the comment to be breakable, this improves
  2601       rendering of over-long words or on narrow browser windows - especially
  2602       for themes with limited content width like rightsidebar.
  2603     * We now have the "new" icon on RecentChanges clickable, just links to the
  2604       page.
  2605     * Print view now shows "interwikiname: pagename" (for show_interwiki = 1).
  2606 
  2607   International support:    
  2608     * mail_from can be now a unicode name-address 
  2609       e.g u'Jürgen wiki <noreply@jhwiki.org>'
  2610 
  2611   Theme changes:
  2612     * logo_string is now should be really only the logo (img).
  2613       If you included your wiki's name in logo_string you maybe want to remove
  2614       it now as it is shown as part of the location display now anyway (if
  2615       you set show_interwiki = 1).
  2616     * You maybe want to remove page_front_page from your navi_bar - we link to
  2617       that page now from the logo and (new, if you set show_interwiki = 1) from
  2618       the interwiki name displayed in location display, so you maybe don't need
  2619       it in navi_bar, too.
  2620     * If you have a custom theme, you should / may:
  2621      * sync modern/css/screen.css #pagelocation #pagetrail stuff to your
  2622        screen.css or pagelocation display (title()) will look strange (like a
  2623        list).
  2624      * remove "#title h1 ..." CSS (or any other CSS assuming h1 is a page
  2625        title and not just a first level heading), it is not used any more.
  2626      * we now render = heading = as <h1> (was <h2> before 1.5),
  2627        == heading == as <h2> (was <h3>), etc.
  2628      * maybe move both title() and trail() to header area, like the builtin
  2629        themes do it.
  2630      * there is a new interwiki() base theme method that optionally (if
  2631        show_interwiki = 1) shows the interwiki name of this wiki and links to
  2632        page_front_page. The css for it is #interwiki.
  2633 
  2634   Developer notes:    
  2635     * Plugin API was improved. When plugin module is missing,
  2636       wikiutil.PluginMissingError is raised. When trying to import a
  2637       missing name from a plugin module, wikiutil.PluginMissingError is
  2638       raised. You must update any code that use wikiutil.importPlugin.
  2639       Errors in your plugin should raise now correct tracebacks. See
  2640       http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ErrorHandlingInPlugins
  2641     * pysupport.importName was changed, it does not check for any
  2642       errors when trying to import a name from a module. The calling
  2643       code should check for ImportError or AttributeError. Previous
  2644       code used to hide all errors behind None.
  2645     * Its easier now to customize the editbar by overriding
  2646       editbarItems() in your theme, and returning a list of items to
  2647       display in the editbar. To change a single editbar link, override
  2648       one of the xxxLink methods in your theme.
  2649 
  2650   Internal Changes:
  2651     * request.formatter (html) is available for actions now
  2652     * theme API's d['page_home_page'] is gone (sorry) and replaced by
  2653       d['home_page'] which is either None or tuple (wikiname,pagename).
  2654       It is better to use the base classes function for username/prefs anyway.
  2655     * introduced cfg.hacks for internal use by development, see comment in
  2656       multiconfig.py and file HACKS.
  2657     * added IE7 (v0.9) from Dean Edwards (see http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/) -
  2658       that should fix quite some IE bugs and annoyances (on Win32).
  2659       * for enabling IE7, use cfg.hacks = { 'ie7': True }
  2660     * reducewiki now also copies all attachments (we use that to make underlay
  2661       directory from moinmaster wiki's data_dir)
  2662 
  2663   Fixes:  
  2664     * Fixed a typo in xslt.py which led to a traceback instead of an
  2665       error message in case of disabled XSLT support.
  2666     * Fixed crash in twisted server if twisted.internet.ssl is not
  2667       available.
  2668     * Fixed wrong decoding of query string, enable wiki/?page_name urls
  2669       with non ascii page names.
  2670     * Fixed wrong display of non ascii attachments names in
  2671       RecentChanges and page revision history.
  2672     * Fixed a crash when trying to run standalone server on non posix os.
  2673     * Fixed highlight of misspelled words in Check Spelling action.
  2674     * Fixed case insensitivity problems on darwin (Mac OS X). See
  2675       MoinMoinBugs/MacHfsPlusCaseInsensitive
  2676     * Added RecentChanges (only the english one) to the pages getting
  2677       html_head_index headers
  2678     * text_html cache files written with this code will invalidate themselves
  2679       if they detect to be older than the wikiconfig. Note: you should remove
  2680       all old text_html cache files once after upgrading, they will then be
  2681       rebuilt automatically with the new code.
  2682     * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/12_to_13_mig10_Walk
  2683     * Fixed the word_rule: a word like AAAbbAbb isn't teared into two parts
  2684       any more (was: AA<link>AbbAbb</link>)
  2685     * Fixed false positive InterWiki markup for languages like Finnish.
  2686       InterWiki links are only rendered if the left side has an appropriate
  2687       entry in the interwiki map, otherwise it is rendered as simple text.
  2688     * Fixed unicode error when uploding non-ascii file name using mod
  2689       python.
  2690     * Fixed error handling of wikirpc requests, should give more
  2691       correct errors and prevent no error output and blocking the
  2692       client in some cases.
  2693     * Fixed the "lost password" mail processing. If a user entered some email
  2694       address unknown to the system, he was not notified of this, but just got
  2695       a useless mail with no account data in it. Now the system directly tells
  2696       the user that he entered an unknown email address.
  2697     * Fixed SystemInfo, it now also lists parsers in data/plugin/parser dir.
  2698     * Fix error handling on failure, improved error display
  2699     * Fix error handling when importing plugins or importing modules
  2700       dynamically. The fix is not backward compatible with older plugins.
  2701     * Fix chart action, returns a page with error message when chart
  2702       can not be created.
  2703     * Fixed formatter usage in the ShowSmileys macro.
  2704     * Fixed updating pagelinks cache for [:page:text] or [wiki:Self:page text],
  2705       fixes display of LocalSiteMap and rendering of such links.
  2706     * Hopefully fixed urllib problems (esp. with py 2.4.2, but also before) by
  2707       using our own urllib wrapper that handles encoding/decoding to/from
  2708       unicode, see wikiutil.py. Also made a similar fix for making and parsing
  2709       query strings.
  2710     * Fixed MonthCalendar tooltips when containing special chars like quotes.
  2711     * Added html escaping for diff text for RSS feed with diff=1.
  2712     * The distance between page content beginning and the first = heading =
  2713       was much too much. Fixed.
  2714     
  2715 Version 1.4:
  2716 
  2717     We used that version number for an internal and early development version
  2718     for what will be called moin 2.0 at some time in the future.
  2719     There will never be a 1.4.x release.
  2720 
  2721 
  2722 Version 1.3.5 (2005-08-04, Revision moin--main--1.3--patch-883)
  2723 
  2724 Fixes:
  2725     * small CSS fix for rightsidebar theme
  2726     * applied some Debian patches (thanks to Jonas!):
  2727       * de i18n spelling fixes
  2728       * AttachFile fix, we strip CR in .draw files now
  2729       * when loading spellcheck dictionaries, we want utf-8, but we make
  2730         a 2nd try with iso-8859-1 encoding.
  2731 
  2732 New Features:
  2733 
  2734     * enabled using https with the Twisted server:
  2735       You need to use port 443, have PyOpenSSL (+ ssl libs it depends on)
  2736       installed and have some site key and certificate PEM files configured in
  2737       your twistedmoin.py file:
  2738       sslcert = ('/whereever/cert/sitekey.pem', '/whereever/cert/sitecert.pem')
  2739 
  2740 
  2741 Version 1.3.5rc1 (2005-07-31, Revision moin--main--1.3--patch-865)
  2742 
  2743 Fixes:
  2744 
  2745     * Fixed security bug when acl of deleted page was ignored. See:
  2746       http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/ACLIgnoredAfterDelete
  2747     * AttachFile did not display the original filename plus there
  2748       was a confusion in input field labelling ('Rename to').
  2749     * Fixed shortcut link non-existent page detection.
  2750     * Fixed non-working bookmark function on python 2.2.x.
  2751     * Fixed wikirpc getPageInfo call on python 2.2.x.
  2752     * Fixed the failing import of plugins from the data/plugin/
  2753       directories if run in zipimport environments.
  2754     * Fixed traceback which occurred on negated searches.
  2755     * Fixed crash when trying to render error message on twisted, fast
  2756       cgi and modpy.
  2757     * Fixed error message with modpy, used to show wrong errors below
  2758       the real message.
  2759     * Fixed search and goto text fields for better compatibility with
  2760       dark themes and better control through css.
  2761     * Show an edit link if MissingPage is missing and a warning in the
  2762       server log.
  2763     * Fixed missing footer in the editor.
  2764     * Fixed indented (invalid) headings with broken links in table of
  2765       contents.
  2766     * Fixed crash when file name is too long, show standard error message.
  2767     * Save trail file in a safe way, should be enough for normal use.
  2768     * Fixed remember_last_visit user preferences option when show_trail
  2769       is not selected.
  2770     * Fixed the tests for Standalone, Twisted, FastCGI and Mod_Python.
  2771       Run with ?action=test from any page.
  2772     * Fixed rare bug when wrong search type was performed when pasting
  2773       search term in Safari.
  2774     * Fixed crash for custom formatters and dom_xml (which occurred if
  2775       smileys were in the page).
  2776     * Editor opens on double click in pages with single quote in the
  2777       name, like "Ben's Wiki".
  2778     * '/.' in page names are not replaced any more by '/(2e)'
  2779     * Fixed the long delays while saving pages using RequestCLI.
  2780     * Fixed variable expanding for users with non WikiName.
  2781     * Fixed MonthCalendar's calculation of "today" to use the user's
  2782       time zone setting.
  2783     * Fixed moin_dump script, use same configuration options as other
  2784       scripts.
  2785     * Fixed url_mappings to work in proxied setups and sent mails
  2786       again. Also fixed for image links. Thanks to JohannesBerg.
  2787     * Fixed page shown after saving a drawing (esp. when saved from a
  2788       sub page). Fixed help link for drawings.
  2789     * Fixed mig10 script to run on Python < 2.3.
  2790     * The twisted server defaulted to a socket timeout of 12 hours!
  2791       We reduced that to a more sane 10 minutes, that should still be more
  2792       than enough. This fixed the "too many open files" problem we
  2793       encountered quite often recently. Thanks to Helmut Grohne!
  2794 
  2795 Other Changes:
  2796 
  2797     * Added {hu} flag.
  2798     * Added cz, pt and pt-br i18n.
  2799     * We send a 404 http status code for nonexisting wiki pages now,
  2800       maybe this will repell some search engines from requesting gone
  2801       pages again and again. The wiki user still sees the MissingPage
  2802       wiki stuff, so a user usually won't notice this change.
  2803     * Return 500 error code on failure and exceptions.
  2804     * Added some more bot / leech tool user agent strings.
  2805     * Prevent page floating elements from floating out of the page over
  2806       the footer, in modern, rightsidebar and classic themes.
  2807     * Encode URLs in a safer way
  2808     * We allow usernames with ' character in them now (like Tim O'Brian).
  2809     * Added support for the new security flags in docutils 0.3.9.
  2810     * @MAILTO@ expands now to safer [[MailTo()]] macro.
  2811     * Clarified and i18ned lost password mails.
  2812     * Added 'TitleIndex' and 'SiteNavigation' (+ translation) to the
  2813       list of pages that use html_head_index (so that robots
  2814       "index,follow").  Please make sure to have either FindPage,
  2815       TitleIndex or SiteNavigation in your navi_bar or in your
  2816       page_front_page content if you want search engines to find all
  2817       your pages.
  2818     * Make it possible to send account data when being logged in (for
  2819       future reference or whatever purpose).
  2820     * Speed up when running with persistent servers, the wiki config
  2821       does only get loaded once and misc. stuff is being cached between
  2822       requests now.
  2823     * The unit tests are disabled when using multi threading, because
  2824       the wiki configuration is shared between diffrent threads.
  2825     * The main code path (using standalone server) of MoinMoin runs on
  2826       PyPy now.
  2827     * Formatters do automatically transform HTML to plain text if they are
  2828       called with raw HTML code.
  2829     * Using larger socket backlog on Standalone and FastCGI servers
  2830       should be more reliable on high load.
  2831     * We now strip leading path from attachments uploaded by IE (this is
  2832       a bug in IE, not in MoinMoin). Better use a sane browser, like Firefox.
  2833     * added "teleport" to the user agent blacklist
  2834 
  2835 New Features:
  2836 
  2837     * Integrated Lupy indexer for better search performance. It is disabled
  2838       by default as of 1.3.5 as it still has known issues.
  2839       See multiconfig.py if you want to test it.
  2840     * Integrated MonthCalendar 2.1, with some new features:
  2841       * a mouseover bubble that shows first level headlines of the linked
  2842         day page
  2843       * all calendars with same pagename move when using cal navigation,
  2844         thanks to Oliver Graf
  2845       * included AnnualMonthlyCalendar patch of Jonathan Dietrich
  2846         (use [[MonthCalendar(Yearly,,,+1,,6,1)]] syntax for birthdays and
  2847         other annually repeating stuff)
  2848       Make sure you remove old MonthCalendar.* from data/plugin/macro so that
  2849       moin will use the new code in MoinMoin/macro/MonthCalendar.py.
  2850       Maybe also clear the text_html cache.
  2851     * Added the new XSLT parser and the DocBook parser. This should increase
  2852       the 4suite compatiblity. See HelpOnXmlPages for details.
  2853       It now should run on 4suite 1.0a4 and 1.0b1. Thanks to Henry Ho!
  2854     * Added the DocBook formatter. This will let you generate DocBook markup
  2855       by writing simple wiki pages. It needs PyXML.
  2856     * It is now possible to customize parts of the UserPreferences page in
  2857       your wikiconfig (changing defaults, disabling fields, removing fields):
  2858       * Use user_checkbox_* for the checkboxes.
  2859       * Use user_form_* for other fields.
  2860       * See MoinMoin/multiconfig.py for the built-in defaults.
  2861     * New standalone server classes: ThreadPoolServer using pool of
  2862       threads, ThreadingServer with thread limit and ForkingServer.
  2863     * New standalone server configuration options: serverClass,
  2864       threadLimit, requestQueueSize.
  2865     * Use "PythonOption Location" in mod_python setup to solve script_name
  2866       problems.
  2867 
  2868 Developer notes:
  2869     
  2870     * Theme can now override maxPagenameLength() method to control page
  2871       name shortening.
  2872     * A search Match now provides access to the full re match via
  2873       the re_match attribute (use to access groups of the match)
  2874     * Underlay is not managed by arch any more. The tree contains an
  2875       underlay tarball, and you should untar after you update from main.
  2876     * "make update-underlay" will untar underlay
  2877     * "make merge" will star-merge main into your tree
  2878     * "make test" will now create and run in a fresh testwiki instace
  2879     * "make clean" options added
  2880     * _tests module does not have a global request any more. To refer to
  2881       the current request in a test, use self.request.
  2882     * _tests.TestConfig class require a request in the constructor.
  2883     * "python tests/runtests.py test_module" will run only test_module
  2884     * request.cfg stays between requests (for persistent servers).
  2885 
  2886 
  2887 Version 1.3.4 (2005-03-13, Revision moin--main--1.3--patch-666)
  2888 
  2889 Fixes:
  2890 
  2891     * Fixed ACL check in LikePages macro that caused links to unreadable 
  2892       pages to show.
  2893     * Fixed ACL check in newpage action.
  2894     * Fixed a security problem when admin policy defined in a custom
  2895       SecurityPolicy class was ignored.
  2896     * Fixed ACL check in action=show so that a user who may not read a page
  2897       also can't find out WHEN the protected page was updated.
  2898     * Workaround on Windows 95, 98, ME in order to clear the dircache.
  2899       This fixes some bugs related to an outdated page list and newly created
  2900       pages that did not appear immediately.
  2901     * Fixed decoding issues of page names on Windows, finally.
  2902       http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/BrokenUmlautsInLinksIn131
  2903     * Fixed traceback on IIS.
  2904       http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/request%2epy_broken_on_IIS
  2905     * Fixed wikirpc for standalone server.
  2906     * Other fixes (encoding and str/unicode data type related) to wikirpc
  2907       server, fixing some non-ascii issues hopefully.
  2908     * Fixed broken query strings for Standalone installations.
  2909     * Fixed backlinks - the result did not always show all links, often it 
  2910       showed too many irrelevant matches (MoinMoinBugs/BacklinksAreBroken).
  2911     * Fixed the acceptance of the show_hosts setting. Now you should be able
  2912       to hide any IP or host name from being published by MoinMoin by enabling
  2913       this option.
  2914     * Fixed wrong line endings on email messages.
  2915     * Fixed MoinMoinBugs/StandaloneUnquotesTooMuch.
  2916     * Fixed crash when trail file is missing.
  2917     * Fixed a traceback when searching for single ( or ).
  2918     * Added mig10 script to fix crashes with uncoverted edit-locks and file
  2919       attachments. Just use it as you did with mig1..mig9 before.
  2920     * Added mig11 script to add __init__.py files to data/plugin (and below).
  2921     * added some fixes for the xslt parser (thanks to fanbanlo), it might be
  2922       still broken, but someone with deeper knowledge about xslt should fix it.
  2923     * Replaced image link with W3C's "html 4.01 compliance" icon by a simple
  2924       text link to avoid https: or config trouble.
  2925     * Catch OverflowError backtrace when illegal date strings (e.g. <1970 or
  2926       >2038) are fed to moinmoin's time routines. It will just output current
  2927       date / time in those cases.
  2928     * UserPreferences now also set a date_fmt preference and Date macro
  2929       honours it. You may have to reset your UserPreferences value for that.
  2930     * Fixed free parent and subpage links in interwiki notation.
  2931       http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinBugs/FreeParentLinksAreBroken
  2932     * Fixed a traceback for invalid ReST markup.
  2933     * Fixed UnicodeError in SystemAdmin's Attachment Browser.
  2934 
  2935 Other Changes:
  2936 
  2937     * Optimized the IRC parser.
  2938     * Support for zipimport of the MoinMoin package. This allows you to use
  2939       py2exe and similar programs.
  2940     * Show the editor's name in the mail subject.
  2941     * Added the pragmas description and keywords. They will add <meta> headers
  2942       if used.
  2943     * Added MoinMoin/scripts/xmlrpc-tools/putPageTest.py example script, useful
  2944       as a starting point for importing data using wiki xmlrpc.
  2945     * Optimised display on Opera browser.
  2946 
  2947 New features:
  2948 
  2949     * The search modifier "linkto:" was introduced. You can use it to search
  2950       for links.
  2951     * The NewPage macro now can take a PageTemplate parameter, see HelpOnMacros.
  2952     * New config settings (so you don't need to edit wikirpc.py any more):
  2953       xmlrpc_putpage_enabled = 0 (if 1, enables writing to arbitrary page names)
  2954       xmlrpc_putpage_trusted_only = 1 (if 0, doesn't require users to be
  2955        authenticated by http auth - DANGEROUS, DO NOT SET TO 0!!!)
  2956     * Added support for Digest and NTLM authentication with CGI (e.g. if you
  2957       use those Apache modules)
  2958     * The datetime string accepted by Date and DateTime macros was extended to
  2959       accept a timezone specification, so now +/-HHMM is also valid, e.g.:
  2960       2005-03-06T15:15:57Z (UTC, same as +0000)
  2961       2005-03-06T15:15:57+0000 (UTC)
  2962       2005-03-06T16:15:57+0100 (same time given as local time for time zone
  2963                                 with offset +0100, that is CET, e.g. Germany)
  2964       2005-03-06T10:15:57-0500 (same time given as local time for time zone
  2965                                 with offset -0500, EST, US Eastern Std. Time)
  2966       The values given as macro argument will be transformed to UTC internally
  2967       and then adapted again according to viewing user's UserPreferences, so
  2968       the user will see the same moment in time but shown in his local time
  2969       zone's time (at least if he set his UserPreferences correctly and didn't
  2970       forget changing them twice a year for DST and non-DST).
  2971     * Readded (now optional) editlink footer to Include macro. Add
  2972       ',editlink' to call to enable this.
  2973     * star "smileys" e.g. {*}{*}{*}{o}{o}
  2974 
  2975 
  2976 Version 1.3.3 (2005-01-24, Revision moin--main--1.3--patch-595)
  2977 
  2978 Fixes:
  2979 
  2980     * fixed ACL security problem in search
  2981     * fix for IIS with CGI allowing page names that contain chars
  2982       that are not in the system code page
  2983     * fixed MoinEditorBackup revisions to start with 1 now
  2984     * improved page locking ('current' file)
  2985     * Unittests (normally shown at end of action=test output) are currently
  2986       disabled for everything except CGI, because they only work reliably with
  2987       CGI, giving wrong results for other request methods.
  2988 
  2989 
  2990 Version 1.3.2 (2005-01-23, Revision moin--main--1.3--patch-587)
  2991 
  2992 Fixes:
  2993 
  2994     * ACL bugfix for deleted pages with ACL protection.
  2995     * ACL bugfix for "Default" acl.
  2996     * Fixed updating of groups and dicts

  2998       * Fixed traceback in RecentChanges.
  2999       * Fixed traceback with links browser.
  3000     * Fixed 0 revision display in 'Show changes'.
  3001     * Fixed traceback in Antispam which occurred when it could not connect
  3002       to MoinMaster. Log the errors to stderr or error.log.
  3003     * Fixed bug in Page init (no date, use rev). Fixes problem with
  3004       #deprecated PI.
  3005     * Fixed empty lists in empty search results.
  3006     * Cosmetic fix for modern theme (when viewed with Internet Explorer).
  3007     * Fixed migration 9 script, do not drop newline, do not drop error.log, 
  3008       note about missing error.log.
  3009     * Fixed repair_language.py script, keep ending newline on revisions.
  3010     * Show headings and macro content in correct direction when mixing content 
  3011       in several directions in the same page and using caching.
  3012     * Fixed bug in standalone re farmconfig.
  3013     * Fixed DOS condition in antispam code.
  3014     * Use smaller margin in print mode to get better results with 
  3015       Mozilla/Firefox.
  3016     * Fixed some user input escaping issues.
  3017     * Fixed a problem when one wiki plugin override other wikis plugins in 
  3018       same farm.
  3019     * Fixed some broken tests.
  3020     * Fixed recursive include in pstats.
  3021     * Fixed bug in standalone - HTTP result code was 200 even when the access
  3022       was forbidden.
  3023     * Fixed traceback when trying to login with non-ascii password.
  3024     * Fixed traceback when xml is not available, reported on Python 2.2.?
  3025     * Fixed slideshow to show slides in sorted order again.
  3026     * Fixed serving multiple wikis on same IP/different ports with twisted and
  3027       farmconfig.
  3028     * It is possible to run with data_underlay_dir = None for special
  3029       application, but be aware that the wiki won't be usable unless you have
  3030       at least some of the system pages from underlay/ available.
  3031     * Files with Unicode characters in their filename are possible now.
  3032     * Bugfix for broken [:page#anchor:text] links.
  3033     * Workaround an instability of the gdchart module leading to
  3034       stalled servers etc.
  3035     * Fixed some event-log decoding issues that affect charts rendering.
  3036 
  3037 Other changes:
  3038 
  3039     * Major speed improvement over 1.3.1. Many times faster title search,
  3040       creating new page, opening page editor and any operation that list pages.
  3041       See http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinBenchmarks
  3042     * Improved README.migration.
  3043     * Cleaner design for login/register interface, login is always the default
  3044       button when the user click Enter.
  3045     * If there are problems found in the configuration, log the error
  3046       and display helpful error messages in the browser.
  3047     * More forgiving unicode configuration policy, you must use the u'string' 
  3048       format only for unicode values.
  3049     * Added profiling to CGI.
  3050     * The content of farmconfig.py is similar to wikiconfig.py now.
  3051     * Unexpected errors while loading cache files are logged.
  3052     * i18n for icon ALT tags.
  3053     * Include request initialization code in the profile in standalone server.
  3054     * When creating new theme, style sheets are inherited correctly, no need
  3055       to override style sheets just to get them working.
  3056     * Many times faster plugin system. Typical pages are about 35% faster, 
  3057       pages with many plugins can be many times faster. 
  3058     * Spiders are allowed to fetch attachments.
  3059     * Old user files containing password hash encoded in pre 1.3 charset
  3060       are auto repaired on first login.
  3061     * data_dir defaults to './data', underlay_data_dir to './underlay' now.
  3062       It is a good idea to replace those by absolute pathes in wikiconfig.py.
  3063     * Renamed "Refresh" to "Delete Cache" - it was misused by users. The action 
  3064       was also moved into the action menu in the modern and rightsidebar themes.
  3065     * Added a workaround for TableOfContents missing some links by making it
  3066       uncacheable via a "time" dependency.
  3067     * Removed interwiki icon and title attribute for wiki:Self:... links.
  3068     * Unittests (normally shown at end of action=test output) are currently
  3069       disabled because they worked unreliably, giving wrong results sometimes.
  3070 
  3071 New features:
  3072 
  3073     * Create new pages easily using configurable interface and page templates 
  3074       with the new NewPage macro.
  3075     * ReStructuredText (rst) support is built-in now. See HelpOnParsers.
  3076     * New experimental feature in mointwisted.py - each interface may 
  3077       specify a port: '12.34.56.78:80'. Without a port, the port option
  3078       is used.
  3079 
  3080 API changes:
  3081 
  3082     * For a complete list of changes, see MoinMoin:ApiChanges.
  3083     * wikiutil.importPlugin's first argument is now a wiki config instance 
  3084       (request.cfg) and there is no path keyword.
  3085     * Wiki plugins always override MoinMoin plugins. wikiutil.importPlugin
  3086       implements this override.
  3087     * util.pysupport.importName does not accept path - you should call 
  3088       it with correct module name, e.g 'wikiconfig.plugin.parser.wiki' for 
  3089       wiki plugins, or 'MoinMoin.parser.wiki'. 
  3090     * wikiutil.extensionPlugin was renamed to wikiPlugins and it gets config 
  3091       instance instead of path.
  3092     * New function wikiutil.importWikiPlugin used to import wiki plugins 
  3093       using a cache in a thread safe way.
  3094     * New config option config.use_threads is used to activate thread 
  3095       safe code.
  3096     * New keyword arguments for getPageList, enable 10X faster operation
  3097       for common cases by controlling page filtering.
  3098     * New up to 100X times faster getPageCount
  3099 
  3100 
  3101 Version 1.3.1 (2004-12-13, Revision moin--main--1.3--patch-434)
  3102 
  3103 Fixes:
  3104 
  3105     * Fixed "Error Cyclic usage" crash when user had Italian (it), Korean
  3106       (ko), Serbian (sr) or Vietnamese (vi) as user interface language.
  3107     * Fall back to en (instead of crashing) when user uses a language moin
  3108       does not support / does not support any more (like pt,sv,fi,sr).
  3109     * In 1.3.0, people accidentally put iso-8859-1 chars into wiki configs,
  3110       but those where expected to be pure utf-8 and thus it crashed.
  3111       Fixed by using unicode strings (varname = u'whatever'), a matching
  3112       encoding setting (see top of script comment) and, when decoding strings,
  3113       using decode to ASCII with replace mode (this replaces non-ASCII chars,
  3114       but at least it won't crash - and you get a warning to better use
  3115       Unicode strings).
  3116     * Fixed long time broken table formatting. ||<style="see css spec" a||b||
  3117       Now even generates valid HTML! The old markup for align, valign, width,
  3118       bgcolor still works, but synthesizes style attribute data.
  3119     * SystemAdmin macro shows attachments of ALL pages now.
  3120     * Users without write acl rights will be able to see attachments again and
  3121       also have AttachFile action in menu.
  3122     * Fixed wrong match count in search results, find all matches in page 
  3123       titles, show all matches in contents in some rare cases.
  3124     * Run about 200% faster with long running processes (standalone, Twisted), 
  3125       about 20% faster with cgi, by better internal data handling in wikidicts.
  3126     * On SF, the dict files use utf-8 encoding now. We included them also in
  3127       distribution, see contrib/dict/.
  3128     * Fixed permissions to shared template stuff.
  3129     * Speeded up search, fixed wrong match counts.
  3130     * Speeded up internal data handling (wikidicts).
  3131     * Fixed rare unicode error after deleting a page (reported only on SuSE
  3132       Linux 9.0 / Python 2.3.0).
  3133     * Fixed file permissions of files in the data dir.  
  3134     * Fixed some cosmetic problems in migration scripts and use sys.path.insert
  3135       to get latest moin code when executing them.
  3136 
  3137 Other Changes:
  3138 
  3139     * Improved docs, system and help pages.
  3140     * Updated translation files.
  3141 
  3142 Known Bugs:
  3143 
  3144     * Internet Explorer renders our HTML/CSS in a suboptimal way.
  3145       (MoinMoin: href="http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/InternetExplorer)">MoinMoinBugs/InternetExplorer)
  3146       Workaround: use a non-broken browser like FireFox / Mozilla.
  3147       Fixed in MoinMoin 1.3.2.
  3148     * Passwords using non-ascii do not work.
  3149       (MoinMoin: href="http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/NonAsciiPasswordsBroken)">MoinMoinBugs/NonAsciiPasswordsBroken)
  3150     * The TOC macro is broken partly.

  3155 
  3156 Version 1.3.0 (2004-12-06, Revision moin--main--1.3--patch-400)
  3157 
  3158     As you see from the length of the 1.3 changes below, 1.3 is a major(!)
  3159     upgrade. We could have also named it "2.0", but we decided against.
  3160     So take the time for reading the informations thoroughly and do the
  3161     migration exactly as we tell you - this is no 5 minutes upgrade!
  3162 
  3163     !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3164     !!! We heavily changed configuration, data encoding, dir layout:    !!!
  3165     !!!  * the default encoding changed to utf-8.                       !!!
  3166     !!!  * also, we changed the escaping for special chars to %XX%YY in !!!
  3167     !!!    URL and (xxyy) in file system.                               !!!
  3168     !!!  * layout of data dir changed completely                        !!!
  3169     !!! If you upgrade an existing wiki, you must run the migration     !!!
  3170     !!! scripts or you will get data corruption or other problems.      !!!
  3171     !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3172 
  3173     HINT: Upgrading your wiki - critical information
  3174 
  3175       If you are NOT starting from scratch, you MUST convert your existing
  3176       data - see README.migration for details.
  3177 
  3178       If you use ##language: xx comments on your OWN pages, you should also run
  3179       repair_language script. Not needed for help/system pages as we already
  3180       have done that for you.
  3181 
  3182       MoinMoin uses Unicode internally now (UCS-2 with 16 bits or UCS-4 with
  3183       32 bits, depending on your Python installation). The encoding used
  3184       for page files and html output is set by config.charset.
  3185 
  3186       Moin 1.3 uses utf-8 encoding only, there is NO SUPPORT for using a
  3187       charset different from utf-8 with 1.3. If you try, you are on your own.
  3188 
  3189     Directory layout
  3190 
  3191       Directory layout was heavily changed. Each page now is a directory,
  3192       containing page revisions, attachments, cache files and edit-log.
  3193       
  3194       You can delete a page or move a page from one wiki to another
  3195       easily. Look at the wiki/data directory to see.
  3196       
  3197       Example:
  3198         old: data/text/FrontPage
  3199         new: data/pages/FrontPage/revisions/00000042
  3200              data/pages/FrontPage/current (contains: 00000042)
  3201         old: data/backup/FrontPage.xxxxxxxx
  3202         new: data/pages/FrontPage/revisions/00000023
  3203 
  3204       For cleaning up cache files, use MoinMoin/scripts/cachecleaner.py 
  3205       (see comments in script).
  3206 
  3207    Python / Libs
  3208       
  3209       * For using RSS, you need to have PyXML installed:
  3210         Python 2.4*   -> PyXML 0.8.4 (cvs version)
  3211         Python 2.3.x  -> PyXML 0.8.3
  3212         Python 2.2.2+ -> ???
  3213         This will also make "Live Bookmarks" of Mozilla Firefox working.
  3214         New: if you don't have PyXML installed, the RSS icon on RecentChanges
  3215         will not be displayed any more. Python with no PyXML installed
  3216         generates invalid RSS XML.
  3217 
  3218    Page names handling
  3219 
  3220       * Handling of special characters in file names changed from _xx format
  3221         to (xx...) format.
  3222       * In URLs, moin now uses %xx%yy quoting, (because this is supported by 
  3223         browsers), and sub pages use "/" instead of the ugly "_2f".
  3224       * Underscore character "_" is used now as a space character " " both 
  3225         in file names and URLs. " " and "_" will be handled equivalent at most
  3226         places in the future (represented as "_", rendered as " ").
  3227       * To prevent wiki abuse and user typing errors, page names are normalized 
  3228         in URLs, query strings, the "go" box and when renaming pages. This 
  3229         include leading, trailing and multiple slashes and white space. Certain 
  3230         invisible unicode characters are removed from page names.
  3231       * Group page names are restricted even more, any non unicode alpha-numeric
  3232         character is removed. This is done to enable changing acl syntax in 
  3233         the future. The restriction might be loosen on future versions.
  3234       * You can edit config.page_invalid_chars_regex to control which characters
  3235         are allowed in page names (Changing it is not supported).
  3236       * When you enter page name, it is normalized and you are redirected to
  3237         the normalized page, or if nothing left (e.g '/////'), to FrontPage.
  3238       * When renaming a page to a name that can be normalized to an empty string,
  3239         the new page name will be "EmptyName" and the user will not get an
  3240         error message.
  3241        
  3242    Underlay directory
  3243 
  3244      * Pages (especially system and help pages) are now located in an underlay
  3245        directory (data_underlay_dir). You will see the pages there if they are
  3246        NOT covered (overlayed) by a page in the normal pages directory
  3247        (as set using data_dir).
  3248        MAKE SURE THAT data_underlay_dir IS CORRECT OR YOU WILL SEE MANY EMPTY
  3249        PAGES ONLY IN A NEW WIKI.
  3250      * If you edit a page that is shown from underlay directory, it will be
  3251        copied to the normal page directory on save (copy-on-write).
  3252      * You can use one copy of the underlay directory shared by many
  3253        wiki instances. Each wiki will then have only your local, self-made
  3254        wiki pages in its data directory, and only system and help pages in the
  3255        single, shared underlay directory - this simplifies upgrades a lot.
  3256      * It is recommended to keep your underlay system and help pages immutable
  3257        using acl, so you can upgrade your wiki easily. The default help and
  3258        system pages already have those ACLs (using MoinPagesEditorGroup).
  3259      * Do not forget to remove your old help and system pages after migrating
  3260        your wiki. We don't provide a script for that as that would be
  3261        dangerous for edited pages. Just use some file manager (e.g. mc) to
  3262        clean the data/pages/ directory. As soon as you have removed the
  3263        system pages there, you will see the new pages in the underlay dir.
  3264        See the EditedSystemPages page for a list of pages that exist in both
  3265        data and underlay directory (use this page as admin!).
  3266 
  3267        When updating from 1.2 or lower to 1.3 or higher, you will want to
  3268        clean out the copies of the system pages in your {{{wiki/data}}}
  3269        directory. All of these pages will now reside in the underlay
  3270        directory. If you have system pages from 1.2 or lower in your
  3271        wiki/data/ directory, they will overshadow the more up-to-date
  3272        documentation. This can be done using the following manual procedure:
  3273        1. You have just converted from 1.2 or lower to post-1.3.
  3274        2. Go to your wiki's EditedSystemPages.
  3275        3. Find all the pages that are MoinMoin system or help pages. You will
  3276           know if it is one of those pages because it is not your page.
  3277        4. Check if it is okay to delete by either:
  3278           1. Using the this page "info" link and check the Revision History to
  3279              see if it is greater than 1. If so, there are modifications, so do
  3280              not delete the page and evaluate the modifications to see if they
  3281              are necessary.
  3282           2. Using your file browser (Windows Explorer, etc) to go to your
  3283              wiki/data/<<systemPage>>/revisions/ directory and to see if there
  3284              are no modifications. If there are, do not delete the page and
  3285              evaluate the modifications to see if they are necessary.
  3286        5. Delete that wiki/data/<<systemPage>> using your file browser.
  3287 
  3288     Multiple languages
  3289 
  3290       * New file name quoting method allow 50% longer page names in languages
  3291         that use more than one byte per character, like Hebrew, Korean etc.
  3292       * Configuration file uses 'utf-8' encoding now. Certain values that are
  3293         marked with [Unicode] can use any character in your language. Examples 
  3294         are page names in navi_bar, page types regular expressions and site name.
  3295       * For configuration examples adopted to your language, check ConfigMarket 
  3296         in the MoinMoin wiki.
  3297       * The system and help pages that come with moin are now in utf-8.
  3298       * MissingPage system page localized, should display in your language.
  3299       * We did many i18n (translation) updates.
  3300       * CSS file use utf-8 encoding. User css is also expected to be utf-8.
  3301         This is relevant only if you use non-ASCII values in the CSS file.
  3302       * config.upperletters and config.lowerletters were removed.
  3303         We now use a pre-made ucs-2 spanning set and you usually don't have to
  3304         change it. See MoinMoin/util/chartypes.py if you're interested.
  3305       * ACL works with any user name or group name in any language, even names 
  3306         with spaces.
  3307       * Now you can use any charset in config.charset. Note: only utf-8 is 
  3308         a supported configuration!
  3309       * Improved url handling, now creating pages directly from the browser 
  3310         url box with non-ascii names works in most cases, even when 
  3311         config.charset is not utf-8.
  3312       * When using non-utf-8 config.charset, characters in URLs that does
  3313         fit in the charsets are replaced with "?" (instead of crashing).
  3314       * All themes and most macros and actions are Right to Left friendly.
  3315         Full RTL support planned for 1.3 release.
  3316       * If page language is specified with #language processing instruction
  3317         the page is displayed in the correct direction. Pages without
  3318         language are displayed using the wiki default_lang.
  3319 
  3320     Multiple configurations
  3321 
  3322       * You can run multiple wikis from the same wiki directory or server. 
  3323         For example, you can run one Twisted server that serve multiple wikis, 
  3324         instead of running multiple servers. Samples of the new configuration
  3325         are supplied in wiki/config/*.
  3326       * You can't just use your old moin_config.py file. It is now called
  3327         wikiconfig.py and the config variables now have to be in a class
  3328         "Config" and that class must inherit from
  3329         MoinMoin.multiconfig.DefaultConfig - see the provided wikiconfig.py
  3330         sample for details.
  3331         This is very useful, e.g. you could derive a GermanConfig from
  3332         DefaultConfig. After that, you can derive configs for wikiA and wikiB
  3333         from that GermanConfig.
  3334       * farmconfig.py contains a mapping attribute called "wikis" with pairs of
  3335         wikiconfig module name and regular expression. The regular expression
  3336         is matched against the URL of the request and the first matching entry
  3337         determines the config module to be imported by MoinMoin.
  3338       * If you use farmconfig.py's "wikis" mapping, then any wiki has a private
  3339         config module, named after the wiki - e.g. wiki named moinmoin would
  3340         use moinmoin.py.
  3341       * If you only have a single wiki, you do not need farmconfig.py. just make 
  3342         a wikiconfig.py and it will be used no matter what URL is requested. 
  3343       * There is one common global "config" that holds sitewide settings (like
  3344         umask or charset) - you do not need to change settings there.
  3345         This file is located in the MoinMoin code: MoinMoin/config.py.
  3346       
  3347     General configuration
  3348 
  3349       * SecurityPolicy now uses "write" instead of "edit" (so it is may.write
  3350         now). This is to get it in sync with ACLs.
  3351       * SecurityPolicy now automatically can use everything in acl_rights_valid.
  3352       * There is a new config option "config_check_enabled". It will warn about
  3353         any unknown variable name (probably typo) to stderr or error.log. 
  3354         If something doesn't work at all and changing the config does no 
  3355         difference, switch it on and look at the error message. 
  3356       * The sample config file comes with config_check_enabled = 1. If you 
  3357         introduce additional variables yourself, you definitely want to switch 
  3358         that check off or it will fill your log.
  3359       * If you define "page_front_page" variable, this name will show in the 
  3360         navigation bar now, instead of the default "FrontPage".
  3361 
  3362     New search engine
  3363 
  3364      * Full text and title search do support multiple search terms now - 
  3365        see HelpOnSearching for details.
  3366      * Regular expressions are still supported but have to be turned on per
  3367        search term. Search terms in macros using regular expressions will have
  3368        to be fixed.
  3369      * The URL interface of the search engine has also changed. Links that 
  3370        point directly to search actions may be broken.
  3371 
  3372     User names
  3373 
  3374       * User names can not use group names, even if ACLs are not enabled.
  3375         This will prevent error later, if you start to use acl in the future
  3376         (acl is going to be mandatory in 1.5).
  3377       * User names are not restricted any more to only CamelCase. 
  3378       * To prevent imposing as other users, leading, trailing and multiple 
  3379         whitespace in user names is not allowed. Only Unicode alpha numeric 
  3380         characters are allowed, with optional one space character between 
  3381         words.
  3382       * When a user name with a group name or "bad" name is trying to 
  3383         access the wiki, he is redirected to the UserPreferences page and 
  3384         asked to create a new account.
  3385       * When trying to login or create a new account with a bad name, 
  3386         correct error message is displayed in all cases.   
  3387 
  3388     CGI
  3389 
  3390       * You can not use your old moin.cgi file, as we removed cgimain.py 
  3391         (was deprecated since 1.2). Copy the new file from the server dir.     
  3392 
  3393     Moin servers - Twisted and standalone
  3394 
  3395       * Configuration self checking on startup. Will raise an error in case
  3396         of bad configuration or non-accessible directories.
  3397       * Both use shorter and identical configuration options.
  3398       * Server scripts contain detailed comments and examples.
  3399       * Configuration defaults changed to fit most users.
  3400       * There is memory profiler option for debugging, switched off by default.
  3401       * If you perform a standard install, server scripts should run out
  3402         of the box or with minimal change.
  3403 
  3404     Twisted server
  3405 
  3406       * All code moved into the new server package, the server script
  3407         contains only configuration options.
  3408       * Listen to more than one interface with "interfaces" list.
  3409       * Code updated to new Twisted API.
  3410       * Use mointwisted script to start and stop the server, using 
  3411         "mointwisted start" and "mointwisted stop".
  3412       * The Twisted server runs as daemon by default.
  3413       * All moin Twisted files are called now mointwisted instead of 
  3414         moin_twisted.
  3415       * Fixed getting username from Twisted request (http auth)
  3416 
  3417     Standalone server
  3418 
  3419       * Configuration moved from moin_config.py to moin.py.
  3420       * If run as root, you can set both user and group for the server.
  3421       * Can use logfile instead of logging to stderr.
  3422       * Fixed missing unquoting of query string (caused problems in rare cases).
  3423 
  3424     mod_python server
  3425 
  3426      * moin_modpy server files renamed to moinmodpy.
  3427 
  3428     Wiki Markup
  3429 
  3430      * '''strong''', ''em'' and __underline__ have now paragraph scope. You can
  3431        set these attributes on words level. For multiple paragraphs, wrap each 
  3432        with needed markup.
  3433      * If you leave unclosed ''', '' and __  markup, its is closed when the 
  3434        paragraph ends.
  3435 
  3436     User interface
  3437 
  3438      * Due to many changes in CSS files, the wiki may look "broken" until
  3439        your reload once or twice, or empty your browser cache.
  3440      * The "Send mail notification" checkbox is replaced by "Trivial change"
  3441        checkbox. The default behavior did not change - regular edit is not
  3442        a trivial change, and mail will be sent to subscribes. If you check
  3443        trivial change, mail will be sent only to users who selected to 
  3444        get trivial changes in their user preferences.
  3445      * New theme "modern" has been added, and used as default theme. 
  3446      * classic and rightsidebar improved.
  3447      * viewonly theme removed, as any theme can be use now as viewonly
  3448        by using #acl All:read in the wikiconfig.
  3449      * All themes use new navibar, displaying both wiki links, user links
  3450        and the current page.
  3451      * navibar and pagetrail use now shortened page names, so very long
  3452        names does not break the interface visually.
  3453      * All themes have improved search interface at the top of the window.
  3454      * Only avaiable actions are displayed, so most situations when a user
  3455        try to do something he can't do are prevented.
  3456      * When creating a new page, no action is available until the page 
  3457        is created. You can't attach files to non-existing page any more.
  3458      * Non registered users get a "login" link. Registered uses get
  3459        "username" link to their home page, and "user preferences" link.
  3460      * Messages more clear using bold type, designed by css.
  3461      * Few useless messages removed (but there are many more)
  3462      * Default wiki logo uses the wiki name instead of the MoinMoin troll 
  3463        logo.
  3464 
  3465     Other fixes and changes
  3466     
  3467      * Most generated html code is valid "html 4 strict". There are still
  3468        some problems that still have to be fixed, mainly macros, table
  3469        attributes, and inline markup crossing (<a><b></a></b>).
  3470      * WantedPages can include and exclude system pages, which makes it 
  3471        much more useful.
  3472      * Fixed a bug in TitleIndex where not all system pages are excluded.    
  3473      * RenamePage action now renames everything, including backups, page
  3474        history, attachments. It does not change toplevel editlog, though.
  3475        After you rename a page, you are redirected to the new page.
  3476      * Syntax colorization supports more languages (Java, C++, Pascal)
  3477      * Inline: display of attachments was extended. A Parser now knows which
  3478        extensions it can handle.
  3479      * TableOfContents and Include macros now cooperate a bit better. There
  3480        are still problems with multiple Includes of the same page.
  3481      * Excluded actions at bottom of page are not displayed any more.   
  3482      * Editor: removed the columns size setting, just using 100% of browser
  3483        window width (it didn't work because of that anyway). Also removed that
  3484        "reduce editor size" link at top of editor as you would lose your
  3485        changes when using it.
  3486      * Removed the option to choose text smileys instead of images, this made
  3487        more trouble than it was worth. The text version is still given in ALT
  3488        attribute.
  3489      * Moved stuff from contribution/ to MacroMarket page on MoinMoin wiki
  3490      * Some nasty people try to use a running moin as a proxy (at least they
  3491        did on moinmaster.wikiwikiweb.de:8000, maybe due to the magic port
  3492        number). We changed the code to check for that and just return 403
  3493        in that case. Moin can not be used as a proxy anyway.
  3494      * moin.cgi?test was removed in favor of a new buildin test
  3495        action. It works for all deployments, just use ?action=test.
  3496      * Sending mail does use tls if server supports it.
  3497 
  3498     3rd party developer notes
  3499 
  3500      * Themes should be now sub class of MoinMoin.theme.ThemeBase. Sub
  3501        classes will get automatically all new improved user interface
  3502        elements for free.
  3503      * Theme authors should update their theme for 1.3. Some keys removed
  3504        from them dict. See ThemeBase class in MoinMoin/theme/__init__.py. 
  3505      * Actions writers should call request.setContentLangauge with the 
  3506        correct language used by the action. This enable themes and other
  3507        code to use correct direction.
  3508      * The Formatter interface was changed. Formatters and parsers using 
  3509        the formatter interface have to be adjusted.
  3510      * started deprecation of Processors: they are still recognized, but
  3511        implementors should start to rewrite their Processors as Parsers.
  3512        A processor with the same name as a parser in a pre #! section is
  3513        currently preferred. This will change in the next release.
  3514 
  3515     Deprecation notes
  3516 
  3517      * Processors are deprecated, see section above.
  3518 
  3519      * Using the cookie (or the login url with ID) only and not setting (or
  3520        setting and not remembering) your email/password in UserPreferences
  3521        is DEPRECATED. Those quite unsecure methods will likely be dropped
  3522        in next moin version.
  3523 
  3524      * Operating with acl_enabled = 0 is also DEPRECATED. Due to some other
  3525        improvements planned, we will have to operate with ACLs enabled ONLY
  3526        in a future moin version, so this setting will likely be dropped.
  3527        So clean up your user accounts (see moin_usercheck.py) and switch ACLs
  3528        on NOW.
  3529        There are no drawbacks, so you will like it. Having ACLs enabled
  3530        doesn't mean you really have to USE them on wiki pages...
  3531 
  3532      * allow_extended_names = 0 is deprecated (default was/is 1).
  3533        Future versions will be able to use extended names (aka free links) in
  3534        any case and the config setting will be removed.
  3535 
  3536      * allow_subpages = 0 is deprecated (default was/is 1).
  3537        Future versions will be able to use subpages in any case and the config
  3538        setting will be removed.
  3539 
  3540      * attachments = {...} - we would like to remove that setting because of
  3541        several reasons:
  3542        * when not being extremely careful, this can easily lead to security
  3543          problems (like when uploading a .php exploit and then executing it
  3544          by accessing it directly via web server)
  3545        * makes code more complicated - code that we want to change completely
  3546          in next version
  3547        If you need that feature, speak up now and tell us your reasons WHY you
  3548        need it.
  3549 
  3550 
  3551 Version 1.2.4 (2004-10-23, Revision 1.187)
  3552 
  3553 This will probably be the last 1.2.x release as we are soon doing release
  3554 candidates for 1.3 release (with big internal changes) and are expecting
  3555 release 1.3 in december 2004.
  3556 
  3557 Fixes:
  3558     * fixed "None" pagename bug in fullsearch/titlesearch
  3559     * fixed projection CSS usage
  3560     * the compiled page is removed when a page is deleted, so no ghost page
  3561       appears after deletion
  3562     * fixed AbandonedPages day-break problem
  3563     * fixed [[GetVal(WikiDict,key)]]
  3564     * the msg box is now outside content div on PageEditor, too
  3565     * privacy fix for email notifications: you don't see other email addresses
  3566       in To: any more. mail_from is now also used for To: header field, but
  3567       we don't really send email to that address.
  3568     * privacy fix for /MoinEditorBackup pages that were made on previews of
  3569       pages that were not saved in the end
  3570     * fix double content div on PageEditor preview
  3571 
  3572 Other changes:
  3573     * workaround for broken Microsoft Internet Explorer, the page editor now
  3574       stops expanding to the right (e.g. with rightsidebar theme).
  3575       Nevertheless it is a very good idea to use a non-broken and more secure
  3576       browser like Mozilla, Firefox or Opera!
  3577 
  3578     * from MoinMoin.security.antispam import SecurityPolicy in your
  3579       moin_config.py will protect your wiki from at least the known spammers.
  3580       See MoinMoin:AntiSpamGlobalSolution for details.
  3581 
  3582     * xmlrpc plugin for usage logging, currently used for antispam accesses
  3583 
  3584     * (re-)added configurable meta tags:
  3585         * html_head_queries = '''<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">\n'''
  3586         * html_head_posts   = '''<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">\n'''
  3587         * html_head_index   = '''<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">\n'''
  3588         * html_head_normal  = '''<meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow">\n'''
  3589 
  3590     * i18n updates/fixes
  3591 
  3592     * New UserPreferences switch:
  3593       you may subscribe to trivial changes (when you want to be notified about ALL
  3594       changes to pages, even if the author deselected to send notifications).
  3595 
  3596     * New AttachList and AttachInfo macros - thanks to Nigel Metheringham and
  3597       Jacob Cohen.
  3598 
  3599 Version 1.2.3 (2004-07-21, Revision 1.186)
  3600 
  3601 Fixes:
  3602     * fixed NameError "UnpicklingError" in user.py
  3603     * fixed version number in moin.spec
  3604     * reverts done by bots or leechers
  3605       There was a bad, old bug that triggered if you did not use ACLs. In that
  3606       case, moin used some simple (but wrong and incomplete) function to
  3607       determine what a user (or bot) may do or may not do. The function is now
  3608       fixed to allow only read and write to anon users, and only delete and
  3609       revert to known users additionally - and disallow everything else.
  3610     * avoid creation of unneccessary pages/* directories
  3611     * removed double content divs in general info and history info pages
  3612     * fixed wiki xmlrpc getPageHTML
  3613     * fixed rightsidebar logout URL, also fixed top banner to link to FrontPage
  3614     * use config.page_front_page and .page_title_index for robots meta tag
  3615       (whether it uses index,follow or index,nofollow), not hardcoded english
  3616       page names
  3617     * ACL security fix for PageEditor, thanks to Dr. Pleger for reporting
  3618     * default options for new users are same as for anon users
  3619 
  3620 Version 1.2.2 (2004-06-06, Revision 1.185)
  3621 
  3622 Fixes:
  3623     * python related:
  3624      * own copy of difflib removed
  3625        Until moin 1.2.1 we had our own copy of python 2.2.3's difflib coming
  3626        with moin. This was to work around some problems with broken older 2.2
  3627        python installations. We removed this now because if you have py 2.3,
  3628        there is even a better difflib coming with python (and that fixes an
  3629        extremely slow diff calculation happening in some rare cases).
  3630        So the good news is that when you run python 2.3, you don't need to do
  3631        anything and it will run great. If you run python 2.2.3, it will mostly
  3632        work good and you also don't need to do anything. The bad news is that
  3633        if you run an old and broken 2.2 installation (2.2.1, maybe 2.2.2) you
  3634        will have to fix it on your own (just copy difflib.py from python 2.2.3
  3635        over to your python 2.2.x installation).
  3636        But better upgrade to python 2.3 (for debian woody, there's a backport),
  3637        as 2.3 generally runs better and faster than 2.2.
  3638      * scripts changed to use #!/usr/bin/env python (not /usr/bin/python2.2)
  3639 
  3640     * user accounts and ACLs:
  3641      * we now require the user to specify a password for a new account (you
  3642        were not able to login without a password anyway)
  3643      * it is not allowed any more to create user accounts with user names
  3644        matching config.page_group_regex - please check manually that you do
  3645        not already have such users existing (like a user named "AdminGroup"):
  3646        cd data/user ; grep name=.*Group *  # there should be no output!
  3647      * subscription email sending now honours ACLs correctly
  3648 
  3649     * markup / rendering / user interface fixes:
  3650      * fixed merging multiple lines indented by the same amount of blanks
  3651      * ## comments don't break tables in two parts
  3652      * added a "remove bookmark" link to RecentChanges
  3653      * fixed action=titleindex (added \n after each entry)
  3654 
  3655     * RSS fixes:
  3656      * non-ASCII characters should work now
  3657      * RSS feed (Recentchanges?action=rss_rc) gives UTC timestamps now
  3658      * removed attribute breaking RSS feed on RecentChanges
  3659 
  3660     * better email generation:
  3661      * if you use python >=2.2.2, we add a Message-ID header to emails
  3662      * if you use python 2.2.1, there is no email.Header. Instead of crashing
  3663        (like previous moin 1.2.x releases), we just use the subject "as is" in
  3664        that case. If it is not ASCII, this is not standards compliant.
  3665      * If you have >=2.2.2 it will use email.Header to make standards compliant
  3666        subject lines.
  3667      * use config.mail_from as sender address when sending "lost my password"
  3668        emails
  3669 
  3670     * file attachments:
  3671      * fixed for standalone server
  3672      * attachment URLs (when handled by moin) don't include server name
  3673      * fixed some wrong &amp;amp; in html src
  3674     
  3675     * better themeability:
  3676      * some entries in dict "d" where only present in header theme calls, some
  3677        only in footer theme calls. Now almost all is present in both calls.
  3678      * added some missing "content" divs so sidebar themes look better
  3679 
  3680     * fixed some crashes producing backtraces:
  3681      * no IOError when diffing against deleted page
  3682      * no backtrace in xml footnote generation
  3683      * no SystemInfo crash when no editlog exists in new wikis
  3684      * xmlrpc.getRecentChanges fixed
  3685 
  3686     * MoinMoin.util.filesys.rename is now a wrapper around os.rename that
  3687       fixes os.rename on broken win32 api semantics
  3688 
  3689 Other Changes:
  3690     * saving traffic and load by improved robot meta tag generation:
  3691      * "noindex,nofollow" on queries and POSTs
  3692      * "index,follow" on FrontPage and TitleIndex (give robots a chance ;))
  3693      * "index,nofollow" on all other pages (hopefully saving lots of senseless
  3694        requests for page?action=...) 
  3695      * removed config.html_head_queries (was used for same stuff)
  3696     * added russian i18n (utf-8)
  3697     * misc. other translation updates / fixes
  3698     * added rightsidebar theme
  3699     * TitleIndex now folds case, so "APage" and "anotherPage" are both under
  3700       letter "A".
  3701     * added macro/PageHits.py - it calculates the hits each page gets since
  3702       beginning of logging
  3703 
  3704 
  3705     * Full text and title search do now support multiple search terms - 
  3706       see HelpOnSearching for details
  3707  
  3708     * The Formatter interface was changed. Formatter and parser using 
  3709       the formatter interface have to be adjusted.
  3710 
  3711 Version 1.2.1 (2004-03-08, Revision 1.184)
  3712 
  3713 Fixes:
  3714     * minimum requirement to run moin 1.2/1.2.1 is python 2.2.2
  3715      * not: 2.2(.0), as this does not have True/False
  3716      * not: 2.2.1, as this does not have email.Header. You maybe can work
  3717        around that one by:
  3718       * getting the python 2.2.x (x>=2) /usr/lib/python2.2/email directory
  3719       * putting it into directory 'x' (whereever you like)
  3720       * doing a sys.path[0:0] = ['x'] in moin.cgi [or other appropriate place]
  3721       No guarantee, this is untested.
  3722     * Twisted: the http headers missed the charset data, fixed
  3723     * mod_python: fixes for mod_python 2.7
  3724     * wiki/data/plugin/__init__.py added - fixes not working plugin modules
  3725     * plugin processors work now, too
  3726     * fixed displaying non-existent translations of SiteNavigation in footer
  3727     * fixed zh-tw iso name (wrong zh_tw -> correct zh-tw)
  3728     * fixed reversed diffs in RecentChanges RSS
  3729     * fixed "last change" info in footer (wasn't updated)
  3730     * fixed event.log missing pagename (and other) information
  3731     * fixed horizontal line thickness >1
  3732     * fixed setup.py running from CVS workdir
  3733     * fixed crash when doing action=info on first revision of a page
  3734     * fixed hostname truncation in footer
  3735     * minor css fixes
  3736     * fixed clear msg links (they missed quoting, leading to strange page
  3737       names when you click on some of them)
  3738     * fixed python colorizer processor
  3739     * fixed quoting of stats cache filenames
  3740     * catched "bad marshal data" error when switching python versions
  3741 
  3742 Other changes:
  3743     * updated danish (da) i18n
  3744     * updated japanese (ja) i18n
  3745     * added serbian (sr) i18n
  3746     * added chinese (zh) i18n
  3747     * added a simple "viewonly" theme based on classic theme - you can use
  3748       this as default theme, so anonymous users won't get the usual wiki stuff,
  3749       but a far simpler (and less powerful) user interface.
  3750       It also displays the navibar at the left side.
  3751     * added moin.spec for building RPMs
  3752     * included MoinMoin/i18n/* into distribution archive (nice for translators)
  3753     * included some stuff under MoinMoin/scripts - xmlrpc-tools and account
  3754       checking stuff. removed some version control clutter from the dist
  3755       archive, too.
  3756 
  3757     * code colorization was refactored and some new languages (Java, C++,
  3758       Pascal) where added.
  3759     * inline: display of attachments was extended. A Parser now knows which
  3760       extensions it can handle.
  3761 
  3762 Version 1.2 (2004-02-20, Revision 1.183)
  3763 
  3764 New features:
  3765     * MoinMoin now requires Python >=2.2.2., we recommend to use Python >=2.3.2
  3766       (with 2.3.x, MoinMoin runs about 20-30% faster).
  3767     * by refactoring request processing, we made it possible to run moin under
  3768       persistent environments:
  3769         * twisted-web (http://twistedmatrix.com)
  3770         * httpdmain.py (use moin.py for starting this mini server)
  3771         * mod_python
  3772         * FastCGI
  3773       Of course, CGI is still possible.
  3774     * wiki pages will be compiled to bytecode now (by default), so no need for
  3775       slow parsing/formatting on every view ("WASP", see caching_formats)
  3776     * when using a persistent environment (like twisted) and WASP, you get up
  3777       to 20x speed - compared to CGI and moin 1.1
  3778     * added support for diffs between arbitrary revisions.
  3779     * removed requirement of the external diff utility
  3780     * config.auth_http_enabled (defaults to 0) - use this to enable moin
  3781       getting your authenticated user name from apache (http basic auth,
  3782       htpasswd) - if you enable this, your basic auth username has to be the
  3783       same as your wiki username.
  3784       Should work with CGI, FCGI and maybe even with mod_python.
  3785       Does not change behaviour of moin under twisted or standalone server.
  3786     * config.tz_offset = 0.0 sets a default timezone offset (in hours
  3787       from UTC)
  3788     * config.cookie_lifetime (int, in hours, default 12) sets the lifetime of
  3789       the MOIN_ID cookie:
  3790         == 0  --> cookie will live forever (no matter what user has configured!)
  3791         > 0   --> cookie will live for n hours (or forever when "remember_me")
  3792         < 0   --> cookie will live for -n hours (forced, ignore "remember_me"!)
  3793     * added themeing and some themes (if you improve the existing themes or
  3794       make nice new ones, please contribute your stuff!). The default theme is
  3795       set by config.theme_default (and defaults to 'classic').
  3796     * now supporting plugin directory for parsers, processors, themes, xmlrpc.
  3797     * action=info now defaults to showing page revision history again
  3798     * all actions accessing the logfile (as RecentChanges or history) are now
  3799       much faster
  3800     * #refresh processing instruction, config.refresh
  3801         * config.refresh = (minimum_delay, target_allowed)
  3802             * minimum delay is the minimum waiting time (in seconds) allowed
  3803             * target_allowed is either 'internal' or 'external', depending on
  3804               whether you want to allow only internal redirects or also
  3805               external ones. For internal redirects, just use the Wiki pagename,
  3806               for external, use http://... url.
  3807         * #refresh 3                    == refresh this page every 3 seconds
  3808         * #refresh 5 FrontPage          == internal redirect to FrontPage in 5s
  3809         * #refresh 5 http://google.com/ == redirect to google in 5s
  3810       Use very carefully! Allowing a low minimum_delay and putting a #refresh
  3811       on RecentChanges might slow down your wiki significantly, when some
  3812       people just let their browser refresh and refresh again. Also, it does
  3813       cause quite some traffic long-term. So better do not use this without
  3814       good reason! Default is None (switched off).
  3815     * hide most UserPreferences options before user has logged in, less
  3816       confusing for new users
  3817     * "config.page_dict_regex" defines what pages are dictionary definitions
  3818       Currently dictionaries are used for UserHomePage/MyDict where you can
  3819       define key:: value pairs that get processed like @DATE@ expansion when
  3820       saving a page. The 2 "@" will be added to your keys automatically.
  3821       Please do not use @xxx@ strings on the right side (value), results may
  3822       vary if you do.
  3823       You can also access wiki dictionaries by using the internal macro
  3824       [[GetVal(page,key)]]" - that will go to page "page" and return the
  3825       value (right side) corresponding to "key".
  3826       Implementation note: groups are a subset of the dictionary functionality.
  3827     * standalone server should work now (see server/moin.py), so you don't
  3828       need to setup apache or twisted for a local personal wiki, you only need
  3829       python and moin for that now, no additional stuff any more!
  3830     * if you run your wiki with charset = "utf-8" (the default is still
  3831       iso8859-1), you might want to have a look at contributions/utf8-pages/
  3832       to see if there are already translated system pages for your language.
  3833 
  3834 Fixes:
  3835     * new importPlugin routine (the old one didn't work correctly)
  3836     * removed 0xA0 characters breaking utf-8
  3837     * system page recognition now uses wiki groups (see AllSystemPagesGroup),
  3838       fixing the long-time broken system page exclusion on TitleIndex.
  3839     * mostly HTML 4.01 Strict compliant HTML
  3840     * design is done by CSS now, HTML is semantic markup only 
  3841     * removed target attribute from links, also [^NewWindow] markup - this
  3842       is a HTML 3.2 feature and not valid in HTML 4.01
  3843     * updated TWikiDrawPlugin to 20021003 version, with further modifications
  3844       including source. It can draw imagemaps now and saves PNG. On display a
  3845       GIF will be searched if no PNG is found. We recommend changing all GIFs
  3846       to indexed PNGs cause this fallback might disappear in later versions.
  3847 
  3848       Sample code using bash and ImageMagick (be sure you know what you do):
  3849       for draw in `find /path/to/wiki/data -name \*.draw`; do
  3850         file=`dirname $draw`/`basename $draw .draw`
  3851         if [ -e "${file}.gif" ]; then
  3852           echo "Converting ${file}.gif to ${file}.png"
  3853           convert "${file}.gif" "${file}.png"
  3854         fi
  3855       done
  3856 
  3857     * fixed email headers and encoding
  3858     * Changed moin-usercheck to adhere to scripting standards; no
  3859       proprietary config changes needed any more (added --config);
  3860       --wikinames is now part of the usage message.
  3861     * config.umask now defaults to 0770 - if you give world r/w access, ACLs
  3862       could be rather pointless...
  3863 
  3864 Removed config variables:
  3865     * external_diff (not needed any more, we have internal diff now)
  3866     * shared_metadb (wasn't implemented for long - we will re-add it, when it is)
  3867     * title1/2 (please use page_header1/2)
  3868     * page_icons_up
  3869 
  3870 Changed config variables:
  3871     * changed_time_fmt (removed some html and brackets around time from default)
  3872     * html_head (default is empty string now)
  3873     * page_footer1/2 (default is empty string now)
  3874     * page_icons (is now a list of icon names, not html any more)
  3875     * umask (default is 0770 now, not world r/w any more == more secure)
  3876 
  3877 New config variables (see MoinMaster:HelpOnConfiguration):
  3878     * cookie_lifetime
  3879     * mail_login
  3880     * page_credits
  3881     * page_dict_regex
  3882     * page_group_regex
  3883     * page_header1/2
  3884     * page_iconbar 
  3885     * page_icons_table
  3886     * page_license_enabled
  3887     * page_license_page
  3888     * theme_default
  3889     * theme_force
  3890     * tz_offset 
  3891 
  3892 Other:
  3893     * lots of internal code refactoring and optimization
  3894     * began moving src code documentation to epydoc, see "make epydoc"
  3895     * the URL for the RecentChanges RSS feed changed. It now only works with
  3896       ...?action=rss_rc.
  3897 
  3898 Known problems:
  3899     * theme support is neither complete (although covering most important
  3900       stuff) nor perfect - work on that will continue...
  3901     * we removed some html from system messages (the boxes at top of page you
  3902       get after some actions), so it currently looks less nice than before.
  3903     * html is not completely validating and it is not xhtml - this will be
  3904       fixed as soon as we have the infrastructure for that (other parser, DOM)
  3905     * problems with rtl (right-to-left) languages, will be fixed in 1.3
  3906     * if you change moin_config or switch themes, moin will still use already
  3907       cached page content. For the config this can be fixed by touching
  3908       MoinMoin/version.py (or simply deleting everything in
  3909       data/cache/Page.py). If you get more annoyed by this than pleased by
  3910       caching speedup, you can also switch off caching (see docs on
  3911       caching_formats).
  3912 
  3913 Themeing and HTML/CSS cleanup:
  3914     * Browsers with completely broken CSS support (like e.g. Netscape 4.x) are
  3915       no longer supported. If you still need to support them, do not upgrade to
  3916       moin 1.2. If you still use these browsers, we recommend that you upgrade
  3917       your browser first (Mozilla 1.5 has nice and standards compliant HTML and
  3918       CSS support and is available as Free Software for Windows, Linux and Mac).
  3919     * If you changed any html in code or by config you will have to check if it
  3920       still works. For the usual stuff, look into `MoinMoin/theme/classic.py`
  3921       and `classic/css/screen.css`. For config defaults of the html fragments,
  3922       read `MoinMoin/config.py`. If you want to modify a theme, don't simply
  3923       change classic, but copy or subclass it under a new theme name.
  3924     * because of the new theme support the layout of the `htdocs` directory
  3925       changed:
  3926       * Instead of using icons under `img/` and css under `css/`, there will
  3927         be an additional `themename/` directory in between, e.g. `classic/img/`
  3928         and `classic/css/`. If you added own icons, you may have to copy them
  3929         to the themes directory.
  3930       * The filename of the CSS file has changed to the media type, so the
  3931         normal one used for screen output has changed name from `moinmoin.css`
  3932         to `screen.css`. There also were quite some changes and enhancements to
  3933         the CSS files, so better use the new ones.
  3934     * config.css_url was removed
  3935 
  3936 Plugins:
  3937   * we use a new plugin loader that requires a correct `__init__.py` file in
  3938     the plugin directories. See the directory `wiki/data/plugin/` in the
  3939     distribution archive and just copy it over to your wiki's plugin directory.

  3941 
  3942 Version 1.1 (2003-11-29, Revision 1.178)
  3943 
  3944 Version 1.1 requires Python 2.0 or higher, we recommend to use Python 2.2
  3945 (version 2.2.2 if that is available on your host) or even better >= 2.3.2
  3946 (with 2.3.x, MoinMoin runs about 20-30% faster).
  3947 
  3948 New features:
  3949   Configuration:
  3950     * config.default_lang lets you set a default language for users not
  3951       having specified language in their browser or UserPreferences
  3952     * "config.page_category_regex" defines what pages are categories
  3953     * replaced `config.page_template_ending` by a more flexible setting
  3954       named `config.page_template_regex`
  3955     * the same with config.page_form_regex (was: page_form_ending)
  3956     * "config.page_group_regex" defines what pages are group definitions
  3957       Currently groups are used for "user groups" (see ACLs) and "page
  3958       groups" (see AllSystemPagesGroup).
  3959     * robot exclusion from all pages except the standard view action,
  3960       via the config.ua_spiders regex (reduces server load)
  3961     * "maxdepth" argument for the TableOfContents macro
  3962     * config.title1, config.title2, config.page_footer1,
  3963       config.page_footer2 can now be callables and will be called with
  3964       the "request" object as a single argument (note that you should
  3965       accept any keyword arguments in order to be compatible to future
  3966       changes)
  3967     * "config.html_pagetitle" allows you to set a specific HTML page
  3968       title (if not set, it defaults to "config.sitename")
  3969     * navi_bar / quicklinks can now contain free-form links, i.e.
  3970       entries of the form "[url linktext]" just like in wiki pages
  3971     * if a quick link starts with '^', it opens in a new window; help
  3972       now opens in a new window also
  3973     * `config.smileys` for user-defined smileys (default: `{}`) - a dict
  3974       with the markup as the key and a tuple of width, height, border, image
  3975       name as the value).
  3976     * `config.hosts_deny` to forbid access based on IP address
  3977     * `config.mail_login` can be set to username and password separated by
  3978       a space, e.g. "username userpass", if you need to use SMTP AUTH
  3979     * `config.edit_locking` can be set to None (old behaviour, no
  3980       locking), 'warn <timeout mins>' (warn about concurrent edits, but
  3981       do not enforce anything), or 'lock <timeout mins>' (strict locking)
  3982     * optionally showing a license text on editor page, use:
  3983       config.page_license_enabled = 1
  3984       Optionally use these to customize what is shown there:
  3985       config.page_license_text = "... your text ..."
  3986       config.page_license_page = "MyLicensePage"
  3987       See the default values in MoinMoin/config.py for details and
  3988       override them in moin_config.py, if needed.
  3989     * `config.shared_intermap` can be a list of filenames (instead of a
  3990       single string)
  3991     * If you have added your own `SecurityPolicy`, the class interface for
  3992       that has changed (see `security.py`).
  3993 
  3994   Authenticaton / Authorization:
  3995     * added ACL support, written by Gustavo Niemeyer of Conectiva and
  3996       Thomas Waldmann. See HelpOnAccessControlLists for more infos.
  3997       You should use MoinMoin/scripts/moin_usercheck.py before activating
  3998       ACLs or some users with bad or duplicate accounts might get into
  3999       trouble.
  4000     * A user account can be disabled using moin_usercheck.py or
  4001       UserPreferences page. Disabling, but keeping it is good for edit
  4002       history.
  4003     * changed security default: deletion only available to known users
  4004     * support for Basic authentication (Apache style: AUTH_TYPE="Basic",
  4005       REMOTE_USER="WikiUserName"). If authentication is there, user
  4006       will be in ACL class "Trusted".
  4007     * support for username / password login
  4008       The username / password login will ONLY work, if you define a
  4009       password. With an empty password, username / password login is not
  4010       allowed due to security reasons. Passwords are stored encrypted
  4011       (format similar to Apache SHA) and can also be entered in the
  4012       UserPreferences form in this format. When requesting login
  4013       information by email, the password is also sent in this encrypted
  4014       format (use copy&paste to fill it in the form).
  4015       ...?action=userform?uid=<userid> is still possible, so if you have
  4016       bookmarks, they will still work). The input field for the ID was
  4017       dropped.
  4018       NOTE: using the userid for login purposes is DEPRECATED and might
  4019             be removed for better security soon.
  4020     * after logging in, you will get a cookie valid until midnight.
  4021       The next day, the cookie will expire and you will have to login
  4022       again. If you don't want this, you can check the "remember me
  4023       forever" option in UserPreferences.
  4024     * if the page file is read-only, you get a message (i.e. you can now
  4025       protect pages against changes if you're the wiki admin).
  4026       Note: you can do that easier using ACLs.
  4027 
  4028   Markup / Macros / Actions:
  4029     * RandomQuote macro (and even parses Wiki markup now)
  4030     * `[[Navigation]]` macro for slides and subpage navigation
  4031     * [[ShowSmileys]] displays ALL smileys, including user-defined ones
  4032     * the Include macro has new parameters (from, to, sort, items) and
  4033       is able to include more than one page (via a regex pattern)
  4034     * `MailTo` macro for adding spam-safe email links to a page
  4035     * if a fancy link starts with '^' (i.e. if it has the form
  4036       "[^http:... ...]"), it's opened in a new window
  4037      * because of that, the NewWindow macro was removed from contrib
  4038     * "#pragma section-numbers 2" only displays section numbers for
  4039       headings of level 2 and up (similarly for 3 to 6)
  4040     * ../SubPageOfParent links
  4041 
  4042   User interface:
  4043     * new fancy diffs
  4044     * Page creation shows LikePages that already exist
  4045     * editor shows the current size of the page
  4046     * editor returns to including page when editing an included page
  4047     * Visual indication we're on the editor page (new CSS style)
  4048     * selection to add categories to a page in the editor (use preview
  4049       button to add more than one category)
  4050     * if user has a homepage, a backup of save/preview text is saved as
  4051       a subpage UsersHomePage/MoinEditorBackup
  4052     * added "revert" link to PageInfo view (which makes DeletePage more
  4053       safe in public wikis, since you can easily revive deleted pages
  4054       via revert)
  4055     * Selection for logged in users (i.e. no bots) to extend the listing
  4056       of recent changes beyond the default limits
  4057     * Activated display of context for backlinks search
  4058     * Subscriber list shown on page info
  4059     * LikePages shows similar pages (using difflib.get_close_matches)
  4060     * last edit action is stored into "last-edited" file, and
  4061       displayed in the page footer
  4062     * reciprocal footnote linking (definition refers back to reference)
  4063     * "Ex-/Include system pages" link for title index
  4064       Note: system/help pages algorithm is still mostly broken.
  4065     * list items set apart by empty lines are now also set apart
  4066       visually (by adding the CSS class "gap" to <li>)
  4067     * "save" check for security.Permissions
  4068     * Added Spanish, Croatian and Danish system texts
  4069     * Added flag icons for the languages supported in "i18n"
  4070     * updated help and system pages, more translations, see also
  4071       AllSystemPagesGroup
  4072     * there was quite some work done on wiki xmlrpc v1 and v2 - it
  4073       basically works now.
  4074 
  4075   Tools and other changes:
  4076     * moin-dump: New option "--page"
  4077     * there are some scripts MoinMoin/scripts/* using wiki xmlrpc for
  4078       backup and wiki page copying applications
  4079     * Updated the XSLT parser to work with 4Suite 1.0a1
  4080     * more infos in cgi tracebacks

  4111 
  4112 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  4113 Version 1.0 (2002-05-10, Revision 1.159)
  4114 
  4115 THIS IS THE LAST RELEASE WITH PYTHON 1.5.2 SUPPORT! If severe bugs
  4116 should occur, a maintenance release will fix them.
  4117 
  4118 Some optional features (like statistics) already require Python 2.0.
  4119 
  4120 New features:
  4121     * security fix: "allow_xslt" has to be set to 1 in order to enable
  4122       XSLT processing; note that this defaults to 0 because XSLT is able
  4123       to insert arbitrary HTML into a wiki
  4124     * "action=content" for transclusion into static web pages; emits the
  4125       pure page content, without any <html>, <head>, or <body> tags
  4126     * "?action=links&mimetype=text/plain" works like MeatBall:LinkDatabase
  4127     * "Preferred language" and "Quick links" user settings
  4128     * Added "processor" concept, processors work on the data in "code
  4129       displays" and are called by a bangpath in the first line of data
  4130     * Processors: Colorize, CSV (see HelpOnProcessors)
  4131     * New icons: "{OK}", "(./)", "{X}", "{i}", "{1}", "{2}" and "{}"
  4132       (see HelpOnSmileys)
  4133     * FullSearch now displays context information for search hits
  4134     * DeletePage offers a textentry field for an optional comment
  4135     * Email notifications are sent in the user's language, if known from
  4136       the preferences
  4137     * @PAGE@ is substituted by the name of the current page (useful
  4138       for template pages)
  4139 
  4140 Unfinished features:
  4141     * user defined forms
  4142     * XML export of all data in the wiki
  4143     * RST parser (you need to install docutils to use this)
  4144     * XMLRPC interface
  4145 
  4146 Bugfixes:
  4147     * Syntax warning with Python 2.2 fixed
  4148     * Macro-generated pagelinks are no longer added to the list of links
  4149     * error codes returned by "diff" are reported
  4150     * fix for attachments on pages with non-USASCII names
  4151     * correct handling of spaces in attachment filenames and URLs
  4152 
  4153 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  4154 Version 0.11 (2002-03-11, Revision 1.151)
  4155 
  4156 Most important new features: file attachments, definition list markup
  4157 (glossaries), change notification via email, variable substitution when
  4158 saving pages, edit preview, and improved documentation.
  4159 
  4160 Note that the RSS features require a recent PyXML (CVS or 0.7) due to
  4161 bugs in the namespace handling of xml.sax.saxutils in earlier versions.
  4162 This is (hopefully) automatically detected on every installation.
  4163 
  4164 Statistical features are NOT designed to work with Python 1.5.2 and
  4165 require Python 2.0 or higher. Overall, MoinMoin 0.11 is not explicitely
  4166 tested for 1.5.2 compatibility.
  4167 
  4168 New features:
  4169     * XML formatting now (most often) produces well-formed, and, depending
  4170       on proper layout of the wiki page, valid StyleBook XML
  4171     * Headers are now automatically numbered, unless you set the config
  4172       item 'show_section_numbers' to 0
  4173     * "#pragma section-numbers off" (or "0") switches that off explicitely,
  4174       and "on" or "1" enables numbering 
  4175     * Added a "contributions" directory for 3rd party extensions
  4176     * AttachFile action, contributed by Ken Sugino; note that you have
  4177       to enable this action because of the possibility of DoS attacks
  4178       (malicious uploads), by adding this to your moin_config:
  4179             allowed_actions = ['AttachFile']
  4180     * "attachment:" URL scheme allows access to attachments, to get files
  4181        from other pages use "attachment:WikiName/filename.ext".
  4182     * New macros: Date(unixtimestamp) and DateTime(unixtimestamp) to
  4183       display a timestamp according to system/user settings
  4184     * Variable substitution when a page is saved, note that saving
  4185       template pages does NOT expand variables. Supported are:
  4186         @DATE@      Current date in the system's format
  4187         @TIME@      Current date and time in the user's format
  4188         @USERNAME@  Just the user's name (or his domain/IP)
  4189         @USER@      Signature "-- loginname"
  4190         @SIG@       Dated Signature "-- loginname date time"
  4191         @MAILTO@    A fancy mailto: link with the user's data  
  4192     * Copied some new emoticons from PikiePikie
  4193         || {{{ :-? }}} || :-? || tongue.gif ||
  4194         || {{{ :\  }}} || :\  || ohwell.gif ||

  4199         || {{{ ;)) }}} || ;)) || lol.gif    ||
  4200     * AbandonedPages macro
  4201     * Added definition list markup: {{{<whitespace>term:: definition}}}
  4202     * Added email notification features contributed by Daniel Sa�    * SystemInfo: show "Entries in edit log"
  4203     * Added "RSS" icon to RecentChanges macro and code to generate a
  4204       RecentChanges RSS channel, see
  4205           http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?UnifiedRecentChanges
  4206       for details
  4207     * Added config.sitename and config.interwikiname parameter
  4208     * Better WikiFarm support:
  4209       * <datadir>/plugin/macro and <datadir>/plugin/action can be used
  4210         to store macros and actions local to a specific wiki instance
  4211       * config.shared_intermap can contain a pathname to a shared
  4212         "intermap.txt" file (i.e. one stored outside the datadir)
  4213     * added `backtick` shortcut for {{{inline literal}}} (has to be
  4214       enabled by "backtick_meta=1" in the config file); note that ``
  4215       is then a shorter replacement for '''''' escaping
  4216     * added inline search fields (at the bottom of each page)
  4217     * Added preview to the editor, including spell checking
  4218     * New languages: Chinese (Changzhe Han) and Portuguese (Jorge
  4219       Godoy), updated French (Lucas Bruand), added Korean (Hye-Shik
  4220       Chang) and Italian (Lele Gaifax)
  4221     * New SystemAdmin macro
  4222     * `[[Anchor(anchorname)]]` macro to insert anchors into a page,
  4223       and [#anchorname Anchor Links].
  4224     * User option to open editor view via a double-click
  4225     * Added commentary field to editor, recent changes and page info
  4226     * Page trails (user option)
  4227     * UserPreferences: checkboxes for double-click edit, page trail,
  4228       fancy links, emoticons, jump to last page visited, and some
  4229       other yes/no options
  4230     * "config.nonexist_qm" is now the default for a user setting
  4231     * `[[GetText(text)]]` macro loads I18N texts (mainly intended
  4232       for use on Help pages)
  4233     * table attributes via "||<attrlist> ... ||", more details on
  4234       http://purl.net/wiki/moin/HelpOnTables
  4235     * PythonFaq interwiki tag and support for $PAGE placeholder
  4236     * event logging, as the basis for future statistics
  4237     * "moin-dump" command line tool to create a static copy of
  4238       the wiki content
  4239     * "config.external_diff" allows to set an exact path to the
  4240       command, or change the name to for example "gdiff" if GNU
  4241       diff is not a native command in your UNIX flavour
  4242     * `[[PageSize]]` macro
  4243     * the interwiki name "Self" now always points to the own wiki
  4244     * config.title1 and config.title2 are inserted into the output
  4245       right before and after the system title html code (title1
  4246       is right after the <body> tag and normally undefined, title2
  4247       defaults to the "<hr>" above the page contents)
  4248     * Additional link on diff pages to ignore whitespace changes
  4249     * Subpages (config.allow_subpages, config.page_icons_up)
  4250     * super^script^, sub,,script,, and __underline__ markup
  4251     * `[[FootNote]]` macro
  4252     * many other new config options, see HelpOnConfiguration for
  4253       a complete list
  4254     * [[StatsChart(type)]] shows statistical charts (currently
  4255       defined types: hitcounts, pagesize, useragents)
  4256     * 'inline:' scheme works like 'attachment:', but tries to
  4257       inline the content of the attachment into the page;
  4258       currently knows about "*.py" sources and colorizes them
  4259     * support for Java applet "TWikiDrawPlugin" via
  4260       drawing:<drawingname> URL scheme (you need to activate
  4261       the AttachFile action if you want drawings)
  4262     * numeric entities (&#nnnnn;) are now optionally NOT escaped,
  4263       which allows you to insert more characters into a Latin-1
  4264       page, especially the Euro symbol
  4265     * navi_bar is now a list of page names which should be linked
  4266       on every page
  4267     * test.cgi is now rolled into moin.cgi, and can be called
  4268       by adding "?test" to the wiki base URL. Also, as a security
  4269       feature, the server's environment is only shown for requests
  4270       local to the web server.
  4271 
  4272 Unfinished features:
  4273     * user defined forms
  4274     * XML export of all data in the wiki
  4275

  4289 
  4290 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  4291 Version 0.10 (2001-10-28, Revision 1.134)
  4292 
  4293 This version is still Python 1.5.2 compatible, but it's not extensively
  4294 tested for that version and some parts of the system might not work
  4295 there, especially seldom used macros and actions. Bug reports welcome!
  4296 
  4297 New features:
  4298     * "#deprecated" processing instruction
  4299     * config entry "SecurityPolicy" to allow for customized permissions
  4300       (see "security.py" for more)
  4301     * added distutils support
  4302     * though not extensively tested, the standalone server now does POST
  4303       requests, i.e. you can save pages; there are still problems with
  4304       persistent global variables! It only works for Python >= 2.0.
  4305     * "bang_meta" config variable and "!NotWikiWord" markup
  4306     * "url_mappings" config variable to dynamically change URL prefixes
  4307       (especially useful in intranets, when whole trees of externally
  4308       hosted documents move around)
  4309     * setting "mail_smarthost" and "mail_from" activates mailing
  4310       features (sending login data on the UserPreferences page)
  4311     * very useful for intranet developer wikis, a means to view pydoc
  4312       documentation, formatted via a XSLT stylesheet, for details see
  4313       http://purl.net/wiki/python/TeudViewer?module=MoinMoin.macro.TeudView
  4314       or MoinMoin/macro/TeudView.py
  4315     * "LocalSiteMap" action by Steve Howell <showell@zipcon.com>
  4316     * Added FOLDOC to intermap.txt
  4317 
  4318 Bugfixes:
  4319     * Full config defaults, import MoinMoin now works w/o moin_config.py
  4320     * Better control over permissions with config.umask
  4321     * Bugfix for a UNIX time billenium bug (affecting RecentChanges
  4322       sorting and page diffs)
  4323     * data paths with directory names containing dots caused problems
  4324 
  4325 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  4326 Version 0.9 (2001-05-07)
  4327 
  4328 New features:
  4329     * XML page input (pages that start with "<?xml") and XSLT formatting
  4330     * Page caching, for now limited to XSLT processing (where it's
  4331       absolutely needed); new code & API to add the "RefreshCache" link
  4332     * Selection of common date/time formats in UserPreferences
  4333     * New action "titleindex" to support wiki introspection (MetaWiki);
  4334       see the new links below the index bar in "TitleIndex"
  4335     * UserPreferences: editable CSS URL for personal styles
  4336     * PageInfo: the editor's name or IP is shown for each change
  4337     * WantedPages: a new macro that lists links to non-existent pages
  4338     * OrphanedPages: a new macro that lists pages no other page links to
  4339     * Extensions to the FullSearch macro (see HelpOnMacros)
  4340     * Python syntax highlighting
  4341     * "DeletePage" action (has to be activated, see MoinMoinFaq)
  4342     * "Remove trailing whitespace from each line" option in the editor
  4343     * I18N (currently German and Swedish)
  4344     * Config option "url_schemas" to extend the supported URL types
  4345     * Improved tracebacks by using Ka-Ping's "cgitb"
  4346 
  4347 Bugfixes:
  4348     * The editor now sends a "no-cache" HTTP header
  4349     * "PageList" results are now sorted
  4350     * New config parameter "html_head_queries": send additional header
  4351       for all pages EXCEPT the "normal" view; main usage is to have
  4352       only the normal pages indexed by a spider, not the edit, print,
  4353       etc. views (which cause multiple hits on the same information)
  4354     * Store the modification time of the page file in the editlog, not
  4355       the current time when the log entry is created
  4356

  4465 
  4466 New features:
  4467     * When saving, a datestamp saved in the form and that of the file are
