sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki v0.15

on GitHub

Welcome to Pepperminty Wiki version 0.15! Today Pepperminty Wiki turns 3 - so I decided to time this release so that it comes out on the same day 😺

This release contains a bunch of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes - as well as a brand-new statistics system. Module developers aren't left out in the cold either - a new remote files system has been added that gives modules a framework for downloading additional files they need, and improvements to the machine-readability of the REST api have been made too.

Highlights are given below, followed by the full changelogs. To update, simply get a new copy of index.php through all the usual channels, which are given in the README. Alternatively, you can download the prebuilt copy from this release.

Highlights since v0.14

• New statistics engine
• Users can now delete their own comments, and admins can delete any comment
• New "restore locally saved content" button to page editor
• New random_page_exclude setting to exclude pages from the random action
• Search now displays a list of tags that match at the top of the results too
