on GitHub

Version 0.13 is here! It's been a long time in coming (and it's not an april fools :P), but that's mainly down to the fact that I've been rather busy, as of late. Still, it includes a bunch of bugfixes, and a load of new features too 😄

Enjoy! ✨

Summary

• Initial user preferences!
• Dynamic server-calculated page suggestions in the search box

• User pages!
• Internal link enhancements
• Lots more little bug fixes and improvements!

Full changelog

Added

• Added header to upload file page.
• Added history support to the raw action.
• Added 'smart save' to the page creator / editor. Nobody need ever loose edits ever again!
• Added dynamic server-calculated page suggestions. Very helpful for larger wikis. Currently works best in firefox. Part of the feature-search module.
• Added Alt + Enter support to the page search box. Works just like your browser's address bar - opens results in a new tab instead of the current one.
• Initial UI for configuring settings! Some things still have to be done by editing the file, but it's certainly a start :D
• User preferences!
  • Accessible via the (by default) small cog next to your username when you're logged in
  • The cog is customisable via the new user_preferences_button_text setting.
  • You can change your password
  • There's link to the master site settings from user preferences for admins.
• [Module API] Added $env->user_data and save_userdata() to interact with the logged in users' data
• User pages! Every page under Users/ by default belongs to their respective users. e.g. Users/admin and all the pages under it belong to the admin user, so no other user can edit them.
  • You can access your own user page by clicking on your username in the top corner when you're logged in.
  • Added the user_page_prefix setting to allow customisation of where user pages should be located. Default value: Users
  • [Module API] Added get_user_pagename() and extract_user_from_userpage() to allow programmatic detection etc.
• Added a user-list action that, well, outputs a list of users. Includes links to their respective user pages (though redlinks aren't implemented here yet).
• Internal links like [[Page name]]s will now link to the correct page in include the rest of the word. Note that this functionality can't be mixed with display text, like this: [[Page name|Display text]]s - the rest of the word will be silently ignored in the link!
• Added new query-searchindex action to inspect the internals of the search engine
  • It returns the (ordered) search rankings as json, along with some additional debugging data

Changed

• Overhauled internal history logic - history logic is now done in core.
• Added $env->page_filename, which points to the current page on disk.
• Changed the way different display modes are accessed. You can now use the new mode parameter to the view action. It supports 4 different modes at present: normal, printable, contentonly, and parsedsourceonly.
• Improved recent changes links a bit.
• Improved tabbing through the file upload form.
• Changed the way users' data is stored to support arbitrary per-user data
• Sorted list of registered actions on the dev help page
• The page editor's main content box now automatically expands as you're typing! If you've got a custom theme, you may need to tweak it a bit. Help available on request.
• Pages that are redirects how have their names appear in italics in search results.

Fixed

• The login session lifetime is now configurable (defaults to 24 hours), so you won't keep getting logged out all the time (in theory). (#113)
• Recent changes made on different days are now displayed separately, as they should be (#112)
• Always display footer message at the bottom of the page.
• Trim the image url before short image url detection (#108)
• Fixed huge issue with contentonly display mode.
• Improved the search engine indexing algorithm. It now shouldn't choke on certain special characters ([]{}|) and will treat them as word boundaries.
• Fixed tag links at the bottom of pages for tags with a single quote (') in them.
• Correct error message when attempting to move a page
• Improved security of PHP session cookie by setting HttpOnly flag.
• Linked pages with single quotes (') in their names correctly in page lists.
• Fixed blank descriptions in search results by defaulting to a snippet from the beginning of the page.
• Clear the page id index out when rebuilding the search index from scratch.
  • This is needed to correct some issues where the id index goes all weird and assigns the same id to multiple pages
• Don't search page titles or tags for stop words - it skews results since we don't search the page body for them
