100 1.3.2 early 2002, Reini Urban strikes:
102 * Start of external authorisation in the config, but not in code.
103 * Store Preferences in the users PersonalPage (Jeff)
104 * Sessions in DB, pear DB update
105 * concept of Subpages, UnfoldSubpages, SiteMap, AllPages, AllUsers, ...
106 * PageList (Jeff and Reini)
107 * Several new plugins: RedirectTo, plugin-head architecture.
108 Normalize template names. WikiAdminSelect architecture: WikiAdminRemove
109 * VisualWiki, TexToPng, text2png + several cached plugins (by Johannes Große)
110 * PhpWeather (?), PrevNext, image buttons,
111 * IncludePage (Joe Edelman), FrameInclude (Reini), Transclude (Jeff)
112 * Calendar (contributed by ?), CalendarList, WikiBlog, ...
114 .... a small hole here .... (three years no detailed HISTORY. see the outline above)
118 * New database API. See =lib/WikiDB.php= and =lib/WikiDB/backend.php=
119 for the bulk of the documentation on this. The new database can
120 save multiple archived versions of each page. A mechanism for
121 purging archived revisions is now in place as well. See the
122 $~ExpireParams setting in =index.php=, and =lib/~ArchiveCleaner.php=
123 for details. At this point, the DBA, MySQL and Postgres backends
124 are functional. The DBA backend could use some performance
125 optimization. The whole API is still subject to some change as I
126 figure out a clean way to provide for a variety of (not all forseen)
127 methods of indexing and searching the wiki.
129 * New WikiPlugin architecture.
131 * New template engine. This needs to be documented further, but, for
132 now, see =lib/Template.php=. On second thought, don't
133 (=lib/Template.php= desperately needs refactoring, still.) The
134 basic advance is that PHP4's =ob_*()= functions can be used to
135 capture output from code that is run through =eval(). This allows
136 the templates to be PHP code...
138 * Edit preview button on the edit page. Now you can see what your
139 edits look like before committing them.
141 * Reworked the style-sheets. I still need to clean this up some more.
142 I would appreciate comments and bug reports on it. So far I've only
143 tested the new style sheets with Netscape 4.77 and Mozilla 0.9.3
144 (both running under Linux.)
146 * Expanded syntax for text search, Searches like "wiki or web -page"
147 (or "(wiki or web) and not page") will now do more-or-less what they
148 look like they'll do.
150 * Security Issues: PhpWiki will now work with PHP's =register_globals=
153 PhpWiki 1.3.x development branch.
155 * Pagenames in =PATH_INFO=.
157 * File uploads: see PhpWikiAdministration.
161 * Ugly [MagicPhpWikiURLs] for administrative links.
163 PhpWiki 1.2 is a huge advance over version 1.0:
165 * Database support for MySQL, Postgresql, mSQL, flat file and the new
166 dba_ library in PHP4 is included.
168 * Internationalization: support for different languages, down to the
169 source level, is included. German, Spanish, Swedish and Dutch are
170 currently shipped with PhpWiki. An architecture is in place to
171 easily add more languages.
173 * New linking schemes using square brackets in addition to the old
176 * Administration features include page locking, dumping the Wiki to a
177 zip file, and deleting pages.
179 * A MostPopular page showing the most frequently hit pages.
181 * Full HTML compliance.
183 * Links at the bottom of pages describing relationships like incoming
184 links from other pages and their hits, outgoing and their hits, and
185 the most popular nearby pages.
187 * Color page diffs between the current and previous version.
189 * An info page to view page metadata.
191 * Far more customization capability for the admin.
193 * A templating system to separate the page HTML from the PHP code.
195 * New markup constructs for =<B>=, =<I>=, =<DD>=, =<BR>= and more.
197 * Tabless markup to supercede the older markup (both still supported).
202 PhpWiki 1.1.9 includes Spanish language pages, a full implementation
203 for Postgresql, numerous bug fixes and more. See the =HISTORY= file
204 for more info: http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/HISTORY
208 PhpWiki 1.1.6 is a major revision of PhpWiki. The ability to have
209 themes (via an easy-to-edit template system) has been added; the
210 schema for MySQL has been completely overhauled, breaking the page
211 details into columns (for efficiency we agreed not to put references
212 in a separate table, so it's not completely normalized. "Don't let the
213 best be the enemy of the good.")
215 Postgresql support has been added and the markup language is evolving, now allowing
221 tags and __a new way to make text bold__, and of course the
222 [new linking scheme].
224 There is a new feature on all pages called ''more info'' that gives
225 you a low level detailed view of a page, which is probably more useful
226 for debugging than anything.
228 As we move towards a 1.2 release we will be adding logging, top ten
229 most active pages and other new features with the new database schema
230 (and yes, these features will make it into the DBM version too). I
231 also want to add mSQL support and test it under Zend, the new PHP4.
233 Below are the release notes for version 1.03, the last release of the
234 1.0 PhpWiki series. --Steve Wainstead, mailto:swain@panix.com
238 PhpWiki was written because I am so interested in WikiWikiWeb~s, and I
239 haven't used PHP since version 2.0. I wanted to see how it had
242 Version 1.0 is a near-perfect clone of the Portland Pattern
243 Repository, http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?WikiWikiWeb. In truth, I was
244 using the Wiki script you can download from there as a model; that
245 Wiki lacks a number of features the PPR has, like EditCopy. So in
246 truth PhpWiki is a kind of hybrid of the PPR and the generic Wiki you
247 can get from there (which is written in Perl).
249 The one caveat of PhpWiki is the allowance of HTML if the line is
250 preceded by a bar (or pipe, which is how I usually say it). (That's a
251 '=|='). It was very simple to add, and the idea came from a posting
252 somewhere on the PPR about how AT&T had an internal Wiki clone and
253 used the same technique. The ability to embed HTML is disabled by
254 default for security reasons.
256 Version 1.01 includes a patch that fixes a small error with rendering
257 <hr> lines. Thanks to Gerry Barksdale.
259 See the =HISTORY= file for a rundown on the whole development process
260 if that sort of thing really interests you :-)
