278 (personal uploads, ...)
280 1.3.3 early 2002, Jeff strikes back, with the help of Carsten Klapp:

283 * Cache all output and use a clever page cache. Get rid of plugin-head.

291 1.3.2 early 2002, Reini Urban strikes:
293 * Start of external authorisation in the config, but not in code.
294 * Store Preferences in the users PersonalPage (Jeff)
295 * Sessions in DB, pear DB update
296 * concept of Subpages, UnfoldSubpages, SiteMap, AllPages, AllUsers, ...
297 * PageList (Jeff and Reini)
298 * Several new plugins: RedirectTo, plugin-head architecture.
299 Normalize template names. WikiAdminSelect architecture: WikiAdminRemove
300 * VisualWiki, TexToPng, text2png + several cached plugins (by Johannes Große)
301 * PhpWeather (?), PrevNext, image buttons,
302 * IncludePage (Joe Edelman), FrameInclude (Reini), Transclude (Jeff)
303 * Calendar (contributed by ?), CalendarList, WikiBlog, ...
305 .... a small hole here .... (three years no detailed HISTORY. see the outline above)
309 * New database API. See =lib/WikiDB.php= and =lib/WikiDB/backend.php=
310 for the bulk of the documentation on this. The new database can
311 save multiple archived versions of each page. A mechanism for
312 purging archived revisions is now in place as well. See the
313 $~ExpireParams setting in =index.php=, and =lib/~ArchiveCleaner.php=
314 for details. At this point, the DBA, MySQL and Postgres backends
315 are functional. The DBA backend could use some performance
316 optimization. The whole API is still subject to some change as I
317 figure out a clean way to provide for a variety of (not all forseen)
318 methods of indexing and searching the wiki.
320 * New WikiPlugin architecture.
322 * New template engine. This needs to be documented further, but, for
323 now, see =lib/Template.php=. On second thought, don't
324 (=lib/Template.php= desperately needs refactoring, still.) The
325 basic advance is that PHP4's =ob_*()= functions can be used to
326 capture output from code that is run through =eval(). This allows
327 the templates to be PHP code...
329 * Edit preview button on the edit page. Now you can see what your
330 edits look like before committing them.
332 * Reworked the style-sheets. I still need to clean this up some more.
333 I would appreciate comments and bug reports on it. So far I've only
334 tested the new style sheets with Netscape 4.77 and Mozilla 0.9.3
335 (both running under Linux.)
337 * Expanded syntax for text search, Searches like "wiki or web -page"
338 (or "(wiki or web) and not page") will now do more-or-less what they
339 look like they'll do.
341 * Security Issues: PhpWiki will now work with PHP's =register_globals=
344 PhpWiki 1.3.x development branch.
346 * Pagenames in =PATH_INFO=.
348 * File uploads: see PhpWikiAdministration.
352 * Ugly [MagicPhpWikiURLs] for administrative links.
354 PhpWiki 1.2 is a huge advance over version 1.0:
356 * Database support for MySQL, Postgresql, mSQL, flat file and the new
357 dba_ library in PHP4 is included.
359 * Internationalization: support for different languages, down to the
360 source level, is included. German, Spanish, Swedish and Dutch are
361 currently shipped with PhpWiki. An architecture is in place to
362 easily add more languages.
364 * New linking schemes using square brackets in addition to the old
367 * Administration features include page locking, dumping the Wiki to a
368 zip file, and deleting pages.
370 * A MostPopular page showing the most frequently hit pages.
372 * Full HTML compliance.
374 * Links at the bottom of pages describing relationships like incoming
375 links from other pages and their hits, outgoing and their hits, and
376 the most popular nearby pages.
378 * Color page diffs between the current and previous version.
380 * An info page to view page metadata.
382 * Far more customization capability for the admin.
384 * A templating system to separate the page HTML from the PHP code.
386 * New markup constructs for =<B>=, =<I>=, =<DD>=, =<BR>= and more.
388 * Tabless markup to supercede the older markup (both still supported).
393 PhpWiki 1.1.9 includes Spanish language pages, a full implementation
394 for Postgresql, numerous bug fixes and more. See the =HISTORY= file
395 for more info: http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/HISTORY
399 PhpWiki 1.1.6 is a major revision of PhpWiki. The ability to have
400 themes (via an easy-to-edit template system) has been added; the
401 schema for MySQL has been completely overhauled, breaking the page
402 details into columns (for efficiency we agreed not to put references
403 in a separate table, so it's not completely normalized. "Don't let the
404 best be the enemy of the good.")
406 Postgresql support has been added and the markup language is evolving, now allowing
412 tags and __a new way to make text bold__, and of course the
413 [new linking scheme].
415 There is a new feature on all pages called ''more info'' that gives
416 you a low level detailed view of a page, which is probably more useful
417 for debugging than anything.
419 As we move towards a 1.2 release we will be adding logging, top ten
420 most active pages and other new features with the new database schema
421 (and yes, these features will make it into the DBM version too). I
422 also want to add mSQL support and test it under Zend, the new PHP4.
424 Below are the release notes for version 1.03, the last release of the
425 1.0 PhpWiki series. --Steve Wainstead, mailto:swain@panix.com
429 PhpWiki was written because I am so interested in WikiWikiWeb~s, and I
430 haven't used PHP since version 2.0. I wanted to see how it had
433 Version 1.0 is a near-perfect clone of the Portland Pattern
434 Repository, http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?WikiWikiWeb. In truth, I was
435 using the Wiki script you can download from there as a model; that
436 Wiki lacks a number of features the PPR has, like EditCopy. So in
437 truth PhpWiki is a kind of hybrid of the PPR and the generic Wiki you
438 can get from there (which is written in Perl).
440 The one caveat of PhpWiki is the allowance of HTML if the line is
441 preceded by a bar (or pipe, which is how I usually say it). (That's a
442 '=|='). It was very simple to add, and the idea came from a posting
443 somewhere on the PPR about how AT&T had an internal Wiki clone and
444 used the same technique. The ability to embed HTML is disabled by
445 default for security reasons.
447 Version 1.01 includes a patch that fixes a small error with rendering
448 <hr> lines. Thanks to Gerry Barksdale.
450 See the =HISTORY= file for a rundown on the whole development process
451 if that sort of thing really interests you :-)
