v0.11-beta1

Hot on the heels of the last release comes a new beta version! While this update is primarily a stability and bugfix update, it does have a few new features. Here's a shorter list of notable features:

• Links to non-existent pages now show up in red
• Uploading other file types has been unlocked
• Previews for videos / audio files and PDFs have been added
• A nasty bug in the parsing of internal links has been fixed
• Client side mathematical expression parsing has been added, along with an option to turn it off
• Previews generated by the preview generator now have etags.
• Compatibility with PHP 7 has been improved

Note that this release now requires the imagick php extension for image preview generation.

Added

• Unlocked the uploading of any file type. Note that only the file types specified in the settings are allowed to be uploaded.
  • Uploaded video and audio files can now be viewed on their respective pages
  • The file preview tool is now aware that not everything will be an image.
• Enhanced the recent changes page.
  • New pages show up with an 'N' next to them (as they do in a MediaWiki installation)
  • Page deletions show up in red with a line though them
  • Uploads show with an arrow next to them along with the size of the uploaded file
• Added mathematical expression parsing between dollar signs.
• Generated previews now have etags. This should speed up load times of subsequent requests significantly.
• Added some extra built-in variables to the parser.
  • {{{~}}}: Displays the top level page name (i.e. the page that has been requested).
  • {{{*}}}: Displays a comma-separated list of subpages of the requested page.
• Links to non-existent pages are now coloured red by default.
• Conflict resolution. If someone saves an edit to a page after you started editing, you will get a conflict resolution page.

Changed

• Enhanced the dev help page some more
• Changed the uploaded file preview generation to use imagemagick. You now need to have the imagick php extension installed (installation on linux: sudo apt-get install php-imagick).
• The uploaded file preview generation action will now return audio and video files as-is. This allows for HTML5 video / audio tags to be used to view audio and video files.
• Made username box autofocus on login page.
• Added tab indexes to editing form

Fixed

• Fixed the downloader
• Fixed an issue with the recent changes page and redirects causing a large number of warnings
• Fixed a number of issues with the parser
  • Image urls may now contain ampersands ('&')
  • Several warnings that were cropping up here and there due to bugs have been squashed
  • Fixed an issue with multiple links in the same paragraph
• Fixed a number of issues with the image preview generator
  • Requests for a previews of pages that don't have an associated file won't break anymore. An error image will now be returned instead.
  • A number of things that were not compatible with PHP 7 have been updated to ensure compatibility.
