Release Notes
- Wikka 1.1.6.0 -- To be released in December 2004
Thanks to JavaWoman, DarTar, GmBowen, NilsLindenberg, DotMG, AHerdOfTurtles, scumble, PolVazo/pmyatt, and DaveBradshaw.
Feature additions:
- Added GeSHi - Generic Syntax Highlighter See SyntaxHighlighter for more info.
- Added JavaWoman's JwCalendar action.
- Improved FreeMind support. Map XML data can now be pasted directly into pages. No special markup is needed.
- This is handled in formatters/wakka.php by looking for this pattern: <map.*?<\/map>.
- Modified the main search function, FullTextSearch.
- If search string contains capital letters, double-quotes will be added to the search term. This will limit the search to the exact phrase, instead of searching for partial matches.
- The second mod is to search for partial matches in page titles when using mysql 4. See Mod029fImprovedSearch. The above mod will still override this--use all lowercase if you want partial matches.
- File modified: /wikka.php
- Added showcode handler as described on Mod042fShowPageCodeHandler. Modified the edit handler to display a link to showcode if the user does not have write access: "View formatting code for this page".
- File added: handlers/page/showcode.php
- File modified: handlers/page/edit.php
Bug fixes:
- Fixed "Interwiki is broken" as described on WikkaBugsResolved.
- Files modified: /wikka.php, /formatters/wakka.php.
- Fixed "Password change problem" as described on WikkaBugsResolved.
- File modified: actions/usersettings.php.
- Fixed "Security bug in UserSettings (minor)" as described on WikkaBugsResolved.
- File modified: actions/usersettings.php.
- Added check for valid page name to handlers/page/edit.php. It displays this message if the check fails: "The page name is invalid. Valid page names must start with a letter and contain only letters and numbers."
- Added scumble's suggestion for fixing array_merge problem as detailed on WikkaBugsResolved.
- File modified: /wikka.php
- Fixed "Underline in headers" as described on WikkaBugsResolved. This was never a problem in any released versions, only in the 1.1.5.4 code before it was released.
- Made change to WikiEdit as suggested by DotMG. See WikkaBugsResolved.
- File modified: /wikiedit2/wikiedit2.js
- Fixed a problem with htmlentities showing in the note field while previewing a page edit.
- File modified: handlers/page/edit.php
- Fixed "Strikethrough rendering" as discussed on WikkaBugsResolved. Thanks NilsLindenberg for the ready to go code.
- File modified: formatters/wakka.php
- Added check in usersettings to prevent creation of new usernames that are the same as any existing page names. Credit to JavaWoman for the code, see WikkaBugsResolved.
- Files modified: /wikka.php, and actions/usersettings.php
- Fixed "WikiEdit UTF-8 Bug" as described on WikkaBugsResolved. Thanks to DaveBradshaw.
- File modified: wikiedit2/wikiedit2.js
- Fixed "Forced links Formatter bug" as described on WikkaBugsResolved. Thanks to JavaWoman.
- File modified: formatters/wakka.php
- Fixed "Unicode rendering buglet" as described on WikkaBugsResolved. This was resolved by creating a custom htmlspecialchars_unicode function to replace PHP's built-in htmlspecialchars function. For consistency, all calls to htmlspecialchars were replaced by calls to htmlspecialchars_unicode.
- Files modified: /wikka.php, actions/flash.php, actions/image.php, actions/textsearch.php, actions/textsearchexpanded.php, actions/usersettings.php, formatters/code.php, formatters/email.php, formatters/ini.php, formatters/wakka.php, handlers/page/: acls.php, addcomment.php, edit.php, referrers.php, referrers_sites.php, review_backlist.php, show.php, showcode.php.
- Fixed a small bug with the MyChanges action not sorting alphabetically if modrewrite was not in use as described in WikkaBugsResolved.
- File modified: actions/mychanges.php
- Fixed a small bug with the Feedback action as described in WikkaBugsResolved.
- File modified: actions/feedback.php
- Fixed a small bug with the Googleform action as described in WikkaBugsResolved. (JavaWoman).
- File modified: actions/googleform.php
Misc:
- Moved double-click event handling from BODY tag to a div tag with attribute class="page". This seems to make more sense. Requested by AHerdOfTurtles, see WikkaBugsResolved.
- Files modified: actions/header.php, handlers/page/show.php
- During setup, ownership of default pages will be set to "Public". This was a request from AHerdOfTurtles, see WikkaBugsResolved.
- File modified: setup/install.php

- Removed file /actions/wakkabug.php. This file was pointing to wakkawiki.com -- which doesn't exist anymore.

- Slightly updated files in /docs directory: INSTALL, readme, and UPGRADE.
- Added note to bottom of RecentChanges if WikiPing is enabled, per suggestion from NilsLindenberg.
- File modified: actions/recentchanges.php
- Modified raw handler to output plain-text page source, with no header/footer.
- File modified: handlers/page/raw.php
- Wikka 1.1.5.4 -- "The phantom release"
- There are many pages on Wikka Wiki that mention version 1.1.5.4. There never was a 1.1.5.4 release. As the release was prepared, the features and bugfixes added up to a small, but substantial release--more than a subsubminor number change would indicate. All features that are mentioned as being added to version 1.1.5.4 were released in version 1.1.6.0.
- Wikka 1.1.5.3 -- Released on September 27 2004, minor changes
Feature addition:
- PageIndex action modified to show an alphabetical header that allows quick browsing of pages that start with a certain letter. See Wikka:Mod041fPageIndexByLetter for more info.
Misc:
- Small edit to Wikka:Mod040fSmartPageTitles. Page titles will now be made from headers that are 3 or above. Previously it was 2 or above. This is to prevent the equality operator in code from being seen as a title.
- Added a GPL header at the top of the main Wikka file, and included a copy of the GPL in the docs directory.
- Wikka 1.1.5.2 -- Released on September 23 2004, small bugfixes mostly
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug in actions/usersettings.php that related to password checking. [Thanks to JavaWoman]
- Fixed invalid XHTML in actions/usersettings.php for checked checkboxes. [Thanks to JavaWoman]
- Replaced 'onClick' text in six different files with 'onclick' to make it valid XHTML.
Misc:
- Removed some entries from /.htaccess 'SetEnvIfNoCase' line to make it less restrictive for common phrases such as 'sex'. [Prompted by feedback from AHerdOfTurtles]
- Modified actions/recentchanges.php to show text '(unregistered user)' when a user is not registered.
- Wikka 1.1.5.1 -- Released on September 18 2004, small bugfixes mostly
Feature addition:
- Added Mod040fSmartPageTitles
Bug fixes:
- Fixed an ACL bug that occured if the ACLs were set back to the default values.
- 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 pagetag function call bug in actions/googleform.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.
Misc:
- 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"
FreeMind-related additions:
- 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.
Security:
- Fixed a security hole in the page note feature. Note input is now passed through the htmlspecialchars function.
Bug fixes:
- 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!?! ;)
Misc:
- 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]

- Added the ability to specify a cache time higher or lower than the default, as low as 5 minutes.
- Fixed XSS security bug in the Table action.
- Modified the default CSS slightly for additions and deletions.

- 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.

- Removed the "show spaces" in wikinames option.

- 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
- Revisited the sql code submitted by DotMG that determines RecentlyCommented.
- Discovered that I should have used it as submitted. :)
- Wikka 1.0.2 -- Released on May 23 2004
- Fixed an issue with searching that occured if an older version of MySQL was being used.
- Fixed an issue with the upgrade script.
- Added error checking to the installer. Credit to WackoWiki.
