99 (personal uploads, ...)
101 1.3.3 early 2002, Jeff strikes back, with the help of Carsten Klapp:

112 1.3.2 early 2002, Reini Urban strikes:

115 * Store Preferences in the users PersonalPage (Jeff)
116 * Sessions in DB, pear DB update
117 * concept of Subpages, UnfoldSubpages, SiteMap, AllPages, AllUsers, ...

121 * VisualWiki, TexToPng, text2png + several cached plugins (by Johannes Große)

123 * IncludePage (Joe Edelman), FrameInclude (Reini), Transclude (Jeff)
124 * Calendar (contributed by ?), CalendarList, WikiBlog, ...
126 .... a small hole here .... (three years no detailed HISTORY. see the outline above)
130 * New database API. See =lib/WikiDB.php= and =lib/WikiDB/backend.php=
131 for the bulk of the documentation on this. The new database can
132 save multiple archived versions of each page. A mechanism for
133 purging archived revisions is now in place as well. See the
134 $~ExpireParams setting in =index.php=, and =lib/~ArchiveCleaner.php=
135 for details. At this point, the DBA, MySQL and Postgres backends
136 are functional. The DBA backend could use some performance
137 optimization. The whole API is still subject to some change as I
138 figure out a clean way to provide for a variety of (not all forseen)
139 methods of indexing and searching the wiki.
141 * New WikiPlugin architecture.
143 * New template engine. This needs to be documented further, but, for
144 now, see =lib/Template.php=. On second thought, don't
145 (=lib/Template.php= desperately needs refactoring, still.) The
146 basic advance is that PHP4's =ob_*()= functions can be used to
147 capture output from code that is run through =eval(). This allows
148 the templates to be PHP code...
150 * Edit preview button on the edit page. Now you can see what your
151 edits look like before committing them.
153 * Reworked the style-sheets. I still need to clean this up some more.
154 I would appreciate comments and bug reports on it. So far I've only
155 tested the new style sheets with Netscape 4.77 and Mozilla 0.9.3
156 (both running under Linux.)
158 * Expanded syntax for text search, Searches like "wiki or web -page"
159 (or "(wiki or web) and not page") will now do more-or-less what they
160 look like they'll do.
162 * Security Issues: PhpWiki will now work with PHP's =register_globals=
165 PhpWiki 1.3.x development branch.
167 * Pagenames in =PATH_INFO=.
169 * File uploads: see PhpWikiAdministration.
173 * Ugly [MagicPhpWikiURLs] for administrative links.
175 PhpWiki 1.2 is a huge advance over version 1.0:
177 * Database support for MySQL, Postgresql, mSQL, flat file and the new
178 dba_ library in PHP4 is included.
180 * Internationalization: support for different languages, down to the
181 source level, is included. German, Spanish, Swedish and Dutch are
182 currently shipped with PhpWiki. An architecture is in place to
183 easily add more languages.
185 * New linking schemes using square brackets in addition to the old
188 * Administration features include page locking, dumping the Wiki to a
189 zip file, and deleting pages.
191 * A MostPopular page showing the most frequently hit pages.
193 * Full HTML compliance.
195 * Links at the bottom of pages describing relationships like incoming
196 links from other pages and their hits, outgoing and their hits, and
197 the most popular nearby pages.
199 * Color page diffs between the current and previous version.
201 * An info page to view page metadata.
203 * Far more customization capability for the admin.
205 * A templating system to separate the page HTML from the PHP code.
207 * New markup constructs for =<B>=, =<I>=, =<DD>=, =<BR>= and more.
209 * Tabless markup to supercede the older markup (both still supported).
214 PhpWiki 1.1.9 includes Spanish language pages, a full implementation
215 for Postgresql, numerous bug fixes and more. See the =HISTORY= file
216 for more info: http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/HISTORY
220 PhpWiki 1.1.6 is a major revision of PhpWiki. The ability to have
221 themes (via an easy-to-edit template system) has been added; the
222 schema for MySQL has been completely overhauled, breaking the page
223 details into columns (for efficiency we agreed not to put references
224 in a separate table, so it's not completely normalized. "Don't let the
225 best be the enemy of the good.")
227 Postgresql support has been added and the markup language is evolving, now allowing
233 tags and __a new way to make text bold__, and of course the
234 [new linking scheme].
236 There is a new feature on all pages called ''more info'' that gives
237 you a low level detailed view of a page, which is probably more useful
238 for debugging than anything.
240 As we move towards a 1.2 release we will be adding logging, top ten
241 most active pages and other new features with the new database schema
242 (and yes, these features will make it into the DBM version too). I
243 also want to add mSQL support and test it under Zend, the new PHP4.
245 Below are the release notes for version 1.03, the last release of the
246 1.0 PhpWiki series. --Steve Wainstead, mailto:swain@panix.com
250 PhpWiki was written because I am so interested in WikiWikiWeb~s, and I
251 haven't used PHP since version 2.0. I wanted to see how it had
254 Version 1.0 is a near-perfect clone of the Portland Pattern
255 Repository, http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?WikiWikiWeb. In truth, I was
256 using the Wiki script you can download from there as a model; that
257 Wiki lacks a number of features the PPR has, like EditCopy. So in
258 truth PhpWiki is a kind of hybrid of the PPR and the generic Wiki you
259 can get from there (which is written in Perl).
261 The one caveat of PhpWiki is the allowance of HTML if the line is
262 preceded by a bar (or pipe, which is how I usually say it). (That's a
263 '=|='). It was very simple to add, and the idea came from a posting
264 somewhere on the PPR about how AT&T had an internal Wiki clone and
265 used the same technique. The ability to embed HTML is disabled by
266 default for security reasons.
268 Version 1.01 includes a patch that fixes a small error with rendering
269 <hr> lines. Thanks to Gerry Barksdale.
271 See the =HISTORY= file for a rundown on the whole development process
272 if that sort of thing really interests you :-)
