It's time for v0.17! This time, it's all about quality-of-life. Here are the highlights:

• 🌈 🔎 Added full UTF-8 support to the search engine! No more weird errors when searching for pages containing special characters.
• 🔑 Overhauled password hashing, making it much more secure! This means that you'll need to reset everyone's passwords, but it's definitely worth the additional security. Instructions on how to do this are below in the upgrade instructions.
• 🚁 Added revert to this revision buttons on the history page for moderators
• 🌍 Added HTTP/2.0 Server Push support! This comes with a new setting, http2_server_push_items, that lets you specify extra custom files to push in addition to the those specified automatically.
• 🍭 And more! See the full changelog at the bottom of this release.

As always, you can update by downloading a fresh copy and replacing your existing index.php. The README has a section on how to do that. With this update, there are a few important notes for webmasters / server owners:

• All passwords will need to be re-hashed. Password resets can be done from the user table when logged in as a moderator or better (the user-table action), and also via the inbuilt hash action (don't forget to do this in incognito and to clear the server logs / reset your password again afterwards).
• The search index will need to be rebuilt in order to correctly index Unicode characters. This can be done via the Rebuild Search Index button on the configure action page, or by requesting the invindex-rebuild action directly.
• If you didn't customise the secret setting in peppermint.json on install, you may need to change it. This release makes the generator for this parameter cryptographically secure, so you can just delete it manually and have it be automatically regenerated for you 🙂

If you encounter any problems, please open an issue and help you out.

• Removed stray debugging output
• Fixed the cost-climbing bug in the last beta release
• Tweaked css to make new search context generation look better

Changed

• Password hashing has been overhauled! A totally new-and-different system is being used now, so you'll need to rehash all your passwords.
  • The hash action supports the new password hashing scheme.
  • Added password_cost, password_cost_time, and password_cost_time_interval settings
  • password_cost is recalculated automatically every week by default (it keeps track of this via the password_cost_time_lastcheck 'setting')
• The css setting will now keep a value of auto, even when peppermint.json is automatically updated by Pepperminty Wiki.
• Optimised the search system a lot (#157 - ~2800ms searches now take ~450ms O.o)
  • Tuned the default value for search_characters_context down to 75 (this won't be the case for existing wikis, so you'll need to adjust it manually)
  • Added new search_characters_context_total setting to control the maximum characters in a search context
• The index action's output should now be formatted nicely.
• Restyled "matching tags" in the search results in the default stylesheet
• Added moar icons to the nav / more menus. Delete the appropriate entries in peppermint.json to get the updated ones!
