• Fixed a bug that would not allow page ownership to be set to Nobody.

• Fixed a modrewrite-related linking bug in actions/wantedpages.php

• Fixed a bug with how comments were being linked to, which was not valid XHTML.

• Fixed a small close tag bug in actions/backlinks.php, which was not valid XHTML.

• Fixed ampersands in interwiki.conf, which would not validate as XHTML.

• Fixed small typo in highscores page.

• Added comment "preview" to RecentlyCommented.

• Modified date and time formatting of the 'recentcomments' action.

• Modified date and time formatting of the 'recentlycommented' action.

• Changed the button labels in the usersettings action.

• Wikka 1.1.5.0 -- Released on September 02 2004 - "The FreeMind release"

• Added inline mindmap detection to the wakka formatter.

• Added the 'freemind' directory, which contains the Freemind browser applet and FreeMind documentation map.

• Added the 'mindmap' action. (see next item item for an example)

• Added two new page handlers which return raw page text: 'raw' and 'mindmap.mm'

• The mindmap.mm handler is to allow for users to directly enter their own mindmaps into a page in conjunction with the mindmap action.

• First: Enter raw XML mindmap data into a page body.

• Then, all they have to do to show a "live" mindmap is add the mindmap action to a page with a link to the user's mindmap page. e.g. {{mindmap http://domain.com/MyMindMap/mindmap.mm}}

• Added two page handlers to demonstrate mindmapping recentchanges:

• recentchanges.xml.mm.php and recentchanges_simple.xml.mm.php

• Modified the main Wikka script to not add any cruft, such as headers and footers, to 'mm' handlers.

• Fixed a security hole in the page note feature. Note input is now passed through the htmlspecialchars function.

• Fixed a small bug in the install script which created an admin user named 'WikkaInstaller', instead of the user supplied admin name. This bug was introduced way back in version 1.1.3.2. Come on people--how come you didn't catch this!?! ;)

• Modified date and time formatting of the 'recentchanges' action.

• Modified wiki link detection to allow for page names that start with multiple capital letters, e.g: XPSetupGuide.

• Moved the "four spaces into tab" feature back to the edit page handler. Also, added the space-into-tab feature on page preview--previously the page had to be saved for it to take effect.

• Wikka 1.1.4.0 -- Released on August 15 2004

• Fixed small categories-related counting bug.

• Added IncludeAction [DreckFehler]

• Fixed output bug in the tables action that was introduced in version 1.1.3.8.

• Many improvements to TextSearch. [Thanks to AndreaRossato for initial assistance]

• Added xml.css per suggestion from DotMG.

• Removed 'trimming' from the Wakka formatter. I think users should be able to have extra line-breaks if they want.

• Moved converting of '4 consecutive spaces to tab' to Wakka formatter from the Edit Handler. This allows for the option of changing this behavior in the future, rather than storing the tab conversion in the database.

• Replaced all occurrences of mysql_escape_string with mysql_real_escape_string per recommendation in the PHP manual.

• Replaced all <i> HTML tags with <em>.

• Added GetUser checking to referrer pages. [AndreaRossato]

• Thoroughly updated the upgrade script to handle upgrading from WakkaWiki to Wikka.

• Wikka 1.1.3.8 -- Released on August 08 2004

• Fixed a XSS security bug in the Googleform action.

• Fixed XSS security bug in the Table action.

• Modified the default CSS slightly for additions and deletions.

• Small mod to diff handler to show highlighting key when doing an extended diff.

• Wikka 1.1.3.7 -- Released on August 05 2004

• Fixed a small--yet significant--bug with the way new installs were set to create an index for the pages table.

• Wikka 1.1.3.6 -- Released on August 04 2004

• Fixed 'Cannot redeclare class' error message for RSS action when viewed through the history handler.

• Tweaked the CSS for the edit preview header. It stays fixed in Firefox and looks pretty cool. Looks plain in IE.

• Revisited the Action function once again to fix security bug. Thanks to DreckFehler for assistance.

• Wikka 1.1.3.5 -- Released on August 03 2004

• Fixed a security bug introduced in the Action function in version 1.1.3.1. Thanks to an anonymous user for exploiting it in the sandbox and bringing it to my attention.

• Minor changes.

• Wikka 1.1.3.4 -- Released on August 02 2004

• Fixed a small bug in the Link function which prevented inserting links with a &. Thanks to AndreaRossato.

• Wikka 1.1.3.3 -- Released on August 02 2004

• Implemented the WikiPing protocol. It's non-active by default. Specify a server in wikka.config.php to activate. See WikiPing for more details. Thanks to DreckFehler.

• htaccess file modified to handle missing / on the end of URL

• Feedback action added. Thanks to DarTar.

• Modified footer to only show the referrers link to logged on users.

• Pages can now be set to Public. This is useful for not cluttering up the PageIndex with many Owner: X.

• Googleform action added. Thanks to DreckFehler.

• Allow for unnamed parameters to actions. Thanks to DreckFehler.

• Fixed forced links in square brackets. Thanks to DreckFehler.

• Removed the "show spaces" in wikinames option.

• Replaced all calls to UserName() with GetUserName(), and removed the UserName function.

• Modified how PageIndex shows your owned pages.

• Added RSS action. Unattributed credit because of WakkaWiki being down and original author not written down.

• ACLs are now only stored if they differ from the default ACLs.

• Comments are now stored in htmlspecialchar format, instead of being coverted every time the page is shown.

• Page deletion queries are now made through Query(), instead of LoadSingle(), which caused unseen errors.

• Overly long tags are now prevented from being stored. Thanks to DreckFehler.

• and a few other minor changes.

• Wikka 1.1.3 -- Released on June 03 2004

• Modified Wikka to only store page ACLs in the database if a user has specifically set them.

• The old way was to store the default ACLs when a page was created... This would lock in the default ACLs for a certain date, but what if you changed the default ACLs at a later date? The page would still be locked in at the old defaults instead of the way it should work: pages should stay defaulted until someone makes the effort to specifically set the ACLs.

• Wikka 1.1.2 -- Released on June 03 2004

• Re-implemented the database table structure for storing ACLs...

• And adjusted a few files accordingly.

• Please note: if you have custom set ACLs, you will need to re-set them after this upgrade.

• [I'll add more detail later....]

• Wikka 1.1.0 -- Released on May 31 2004

• This is a pretty significant update. The comment system got a major re-implementation.

• The old way: Comments were being stored in the 'pages' table....which made no sense.... and were being handled exactly like pages, had their own ACLs, and were parsed for page formatting.

• The new way: Comments are stored in their own table, do not gunk up the ACLs table, and are handled as plain text and run through htmlspecialchars() to reduce spam and security risks.

• Wikka 1.0.6 -- Released on May 30 2004

• Minor changes:

• Fixed a bug in the way the admin_users list is parsed, to handle spaces.

• Modified ACL handling to allow for !+, which specifies anonymous users.

• Why? Well..... you might want to specify that only anonymous users can comment on your page.

• Updated the syntax examples on the ACL editing page.

• Wikka 1.0.5 -- Released on May 29 2004

• Minor changes:

• Added a new function to the main wakka.php file: function ReturnSafeHTML($html)

• This is to make it easier to run code through safehtml from various files and actions.

• Fixed a tiny bug in the Form Open function to close the hidden input tag if mod_rewrite was not in use.

• Added "double_doublequote_html" to the wakka.config.php file.

• This is to allow for specifying how to handle html between double doublequotes:

• Values can be: "safe" [default], "raw", or "disabled".

• Modified the wakka formatter to reflect the double_doublequote handling described above.

• Modified the image action to call the new ReturnSafeHTML function.

• Updated SafeHTML to version 1.1.0.

• Added a "newpage" action. You can see it in action at CreateNewPage.

• Minor changes to the wikka.css file.

• Wikka 1.0.4 -- Released on May 23 2004

• Edited a few files to achieve valid XHTML and valid CSS.

• Wikka 1.0.3 -- Released on May 23 2004
