126 1.3.2 early 2002, Reini Urban strikes:

130 * Sessions in DB, pear DB update
131 * concept of Subpages, UnfoldSubpages, SiteMap, AllPages, AllUsers, ...

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

137 * IncludePage (Joe Edelman), FrameInclude (Reini), Transclude (Jeff)
138 * Calendar (contributed by ?), CalendarList, WikiBlog, ...
140 .... a small hole here .... (three years no detailed HISTORY. see the outline above)
144 * New database API. See =lib/WikiDB.php= and =lib/WikiDB/backend.php=
145 for the bulk of the documentation on this. The new database can
146 save multiple archived versions of each page. A mechanism for
147 purging archived revisions is now in place as well. See the
148 $~ExpireParams setting in =index.php=, and =lib/~ArchiveCleaner.php=
149 for details. At this point, the DBA, MySQL and Postgres backends
150 are functional. The DBA backend could use some performance
151 optimization. The whole API is still subject to some change as I
152 figure out a clean way to provide for a variety of (not all forseen)
153 methods of indexing and searching the wiki.
155 * New WikiPlugin architecture.
157 * New template engine. This needs to be documented further, but, for
158 now, see =lib/Template.php=. On second thought, don't
159 (=lib/Template.php= desperately needs refactoring, still.) The
160 basic advance is that PHP4's =ob_*()= functions can be used to
161 capture output from code that is run through =eval(). This allows
162 the templates to be PHP code...
164 * Edit preview button on the edit page. Now you can see what your
165 edits look like before committing them.
167 * Reworked the style-sheets. I still need to clean this up some more.
168 I would appreciate comments and bug reports on it. So far I've only
169 tested the new style sheets with Netscape 4.77 and Mozilla 0.9.3
170 (both running under Linux.)
172 * Expanded syntax for text search, Searches like "wiki or web -page"
173 (or "(wiki or web) and not page") will now do more-or-less what they
174 look like they'll do.
176 * Security Issues: PhpWiki will now work with PHP's =register_globals=
179 PhpWiki 1.3.x development branch.
181 * Pagenames in =PATH_INFO=.
183 * File uploads: see PhpWikiAdministration.
187 * Ugly [MagicPhpWikiURLs] for administrative links.
189 PhpWiki 1.2 is a huge advance over version 1.0:
191 * Database support for MySQL, Postgresql, mSQL, flat file and the new
192 dba_ library in PHP4 is included.
194 * Internationalization: support for different languages, down to the
195 source level, is included. German, Spanish, Swedish and Dutch are
196 currently shipped with PhpWiki. An architecture is in place to
197 easily add more languages.
199 * New linking schemes using square brackets in addition to the old
202 * Administration features include page locking, dumping the Wiki to a
203 zip file, and deleting pages.
205 * A MostPopular page showing the most frequently hit pages.
207 * Full HTML compliance.
209 * Links at the bottom of pages describing relationships like incoming
210 links from other pages and their hits, outgoing and their hits, and
211 the most popular nearby pages.
213 * Color page diffs between the current and previous version.
215 * An info page to view page metadata.
217 * Far more customization capability for the admin.
219 * A templating system to separate the page HTML from the PHP code.
221 * New markup constructs for =<B>=, =<I>=, =<DD>=, =<BR>= and more.
223 * Tabless markup to supercede the older markup (both still supported).
228 PhpWiki 1.1.9 includes Spanish language pages, a full implementation
229 for Postgresql, numerous bug fixes and more. See the =HISTORY= file
230 for more info: http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/HISTORY
234 PhpWiki 1.1.6 is a major revision of PhpWiki. The ability to have
235 themes (via an easy-to-edit template system) has been added; the
236 schema for MySQL has been completely overhauled, breaking the page
237 details into columns (for efficiency we agreed not to put references
238 in a separate table, so it's not completely normalized. "Don't let the
239 best be the enemy of the good.")
241 Postgresql support has been added and the markup language is evolving, now allowing
247 tags and __a new way to make text bold__, and of course the
248 [new linking scheme].
250 There is a new feature on all pages called ''more info'' that gives
251 you a low level detailed view of a page, which is probably more useful
252 for debugging than anything.
254 As we move towards a 1.2 release we will be adding logging, top ten
255 most active pages and other new features with the new database schema
256 (and yes, these features will make it into the DBM version too). I
257 also want to add mSQL support and test it under Zend, the new PHP4.
259 Below are the release notes for version 1.03, the last release of the
260 1.0 PhpWiki series. --Steve Wainstead, mailto:swain@panix.com
264 PhpWiki was written because I am so interested in WikiWikiWeb~s, and I
265 haven't used PHP since version 2.0. I wanted to see how it had
268 Version 1.0 is a near-perfect clone of the Portland Pattern
269 Repository, http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?WikiWikiWeb. In truth, I was
270 using the Wiki script you can download from there as a model; that
271 Wiki lacks a number of features the PPR has, like EditCopy. So in
272 truth PhpWiki is a kind of hybrid of the PPR and the generic Wiki you
273 can get from there (which is written in Perl).
275 The one caveat of PhpWiki is the allowance of HTML if the line is
276 preceded by a bar (or pipe, which is how I usually say it). (That's a
277 '=|='). It was very simple to add, and the idea came from a posting
278 somewhere on the PPR about how AT&T had an internal Wiki clone and
279 used the same technique. The ability to embed HTML is disabled by
280 default for security reasons.
282 Version 1.01 includes a patch that fixes a small error with rendering
283 <hr> lines. Thanks to Gerry Barksdale.
285 See the =HISTORY= file for a rundown on the whole development process
286 if that sort of thing really interests you :-)
