161 (personal uploads, ...)
163 1.3.3 early 2002, Jeff strikes back, with the help of Carsten Klapp:

174 1.3.2 early 2002, Reini Urban strikes:
176 * Start of external authorisation in the config, but not in code.
177 * Store Preferences in the users PersonalPage (Jeff)
178 * Sessions in DB, pear DB update
179 * concept of Subpages, UnfoldSubpages, SiteMap, AllPages, AllUsers, ...
180 * PageList (Jeff and Reini)
181 * Several new plugins: RedirectTo, plugin-head architecture.
182 Normalize template names. WikiAdminSelect architecture: WikiAdminRemove
183 * VisualWiki, TexToPng, text2png + several cached plugins (by Johannes Große)
184 * PhpWeather (?), PrevNext, image buttons,
185 * IncludePage (Joe Edelman), FrameInclude (Reini), Transclude (Jeff)
186 * Calendar (contributed by ?), CalendarList, WikiBlog, ...
188 .... a small hole here .... (three years no detailed HISTORY. see the outline above)
192 * New database API. See =lib/WikiDB.php= and =lib/WikiDB/backend.php=
193 for the bulk of the documentation on this. The new database can
194 save multiple archived versions of each page. A mechanism for
195 purging archived revisions is now in place as well. See the
196 $~ExpireParams setting in =index.php=, and =lib/~ArchiveCleaner.php=
197 for details. At this point, the DBA, MySQL and Postgres backends
198 are functional. The DBA backend could use some performance
199 optimization. The whole API is still subject to some change as I
200 figure out a clean way to provide for a variety of (not all forseen)
201 methods of indexing and searching the wiki.
203 * New WikiPlugin architecture.
205 * New template engine. This needs to be documented further, but, for
206 now, see =lib/Template.php=. On second thought, don't
207 (=lib/Template.php= desperately needs refactoring, still.) The
208 basic advance is that PHP4's =ob_*()= functions can be used to
209 capture output from code that is run through =eval(). This allows
210 the templates to be PHP code...
212 * Edit preview button on the edit page. Now you can see what your
213 edits look like before committing them.
215 * Reworked the style-sheets. I still need to clean this up some more.
216 I would appreciate comments and bug reports on it. So far I've only
217 tested the new style sheets with Netscape 4.77 and Mozilla 0.9.3
218 (both running under Linux.)
220 * Expanded syntax for text search, Searches like "wiki or web -page"
221 (or "(wiki or web) and not page") will now do more-or-less what they
222 look like they'll do.
224 * Security Issues: PhpWiki will now work with PHP's =register_globals=
227 PhpWiki 1.3.x development branch.
229 * Pagenames in =PATH_INFO=.
231 * File uploads: see PhpWikiAdministration.
235 * Ugly [MagicPhpWikiURLs] for administrative links.
237 PhpWiki 1.2 is a huge advance over version 1.0:
239 * Database support for MySQL, Postgresql, mSQL, flat file and the new
240 dba_ library in PHP4 is included.
242 * Internationalization: support for different languages, down to the
243 source level, is included. German, Spanish, Swedish and Dutch are
244 currently shipped with PhpWiki. An architecture is in place to
245 easily add more languages.
247 * New linking schemes using square brackets in addition to the old
250 * Administration features include page locking, dumping the Wiki to a
251 zip file, and deleting pages.
253 * A MostPopular page showing the most frequently hit pages.
255 * Full HTML compliance.
257 * Links at the bottom of pages describing relationships like incoming
258 links from other pages and their hits, outgoing and their hits, and
259 the most popular nearby pages.
261 * Color page diffs between the current and previous version.
263 * An info page to view page metadata.
265 * Far more customization capability for the admin.
267 * A templating system to separate the page HTML from the PHP code.
269 * New markup constructs for =<B>=, =<I>=, =<DD>=, =<BR>= and more.
271 * Tabless markup to supercede the older markup (both still supported).
276 PhpWiki 1.1.9 includes Spanish language pages, a full implementation
277 for Postgresql, numerous bug fixes and more. See the =HISTORY= file
278 for more info: http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/HISTORY
282 PhpWiki 1.1.6 is a major revision of PhpWiki. The ability to have
283 themes (via an easy-to-edit template system) has been added; the
284 schema for MySQL has been completely overhauled, breaking the page
285 details into columns (for efficiency we agreed not to put references
286 in a separate table, so it's not completely normalized. "Don't let the
287 best be the enemy of the good.")
289 Postgresql support has been added and the markup language is evolving, now allowing
295 tags and __a new way to make text bold__, and of course the
296 [new linking scheme].
298 There is a new feature on all pages called ''more info'' that gives
299 you a low level detailed view of a page, which is probably more useful
300 for debugging than anything.
302 As we move towards a 1.2 release we will be adding logging, top ten
303 most active pages and other new features with the new database schema
304 (and yes, these features will make it into the DBM version too). I
305 also want to add mSQL support and test it under Zend, the new PHP4.
307 Below are the release notes for version 1.03, the last release of the
308 1.0 PhpWiki series. --Steve Wainstead, mailto:swain@panix.com
312 PhpWiki was written because I am so interested in WikiWikiWeb~s, and I
313 haven't used PHP since version 2.0. I wanted to see how it had
316 Version 1.0 is a near-perfect clone of the Portland Pattern
317 Repository, http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?WikiWikiWeb. In truth, I was
318 using the Wiki script you can download from there as a model; that
319 Wiki lacks a number of features the PPR has, like EditCopy. So in
320 truth PhpWiki is a kind of hybrid of the PPR and the generic Wiki you
321 can get from there (which is written in Perl).
323 The one caveat of PhpWiki is the allowance of HTML if the line is
324 preceded by a bar (or pipe, which is how I usually say it). (That's a
325 '=|='). It was very simple to add, and the idea came from a posting
326 somewhere on the PPR about how AT&T had an internal Wiki clone and
327 used the same technique. The ability to embed HTML is disabled by
328 default for security reasons.
330 Version 1.01 includes a patch that fixes a small error with rendering
331 <hr> lines. Thanks to Gerry Barksdale.
333 See the =HISTORY= file for a rundown on the whole development process
334 if that sort of thing really interests you :-)
