10.48    24 July 2005
2        RDF enhancements:
3          Removed redundant "id" parameter specification from dc:source in
4            rdf:Description in RDF node listings.
5          Fixed bug that was causing all nodes to be flagged as a
6            geo:SpatialThing whether they were or not.
7          Ensured that ampersands and greater/less than symbols were properly
8            escaped so as not to be XML-toxic.
9          Added geo:lat, geo:long and RSS link attributes to items in
10            category/locale listings to facilitate integration with mapping
11            applications.
12          Added owl:sameAs property to RDF output for nodes that are redirects
13            to other nodes.
14          RSS feed now has correct timestamp (matching most recent item) and
15            matching Last-Modified HTTP header.
16        Reorder navigation bar to provide more logical groupings.
17        Add "format=plain" option for all-nodes index listing and associated
18          template plain_index.tt.
19        New message to appear on pages when you have been redirected
20          informing you of the fact.
21        Stop showing potentially very long map URLs in metadata section of
22          node display.
23        Replace ugly obliques in display of categories and locales with more
24          natural commas; change "locale" to "locales" in label.
25        Replace <label> tags in display_metadata.tt with <span
26          class="metadata_label">.
27        Wanted pages listing now displays, and sorts by, the number of nodes
28          pointing to each node.
29        Prevent redirect loops.
30        Add _ to the list of forbidden characters in node names.
31
320.47    15 January 2005
33        Fixed bug with list_all_versions for nodes with only one version.
34        Extended config changes to examples/reindex.pl (thanks jimbo).
35        Now require CGI::Wiki 0.62 to fix bug with deleting versions.
36        Try to ensure that a .htaccess file protecting wiki.conf is installed.
37        Allow for external URLs for Text Formatting help.
38        Home node recent changes box now flags new entries.
39        Made default city and country be blank; specify them if you want them.
40        Missing PREREQUISITE on Plucene added.
41        Added CSS id "maincontent" to exclude the navbar and footer. Misc
42        template tidying including removing old layout tables.
43
440.46    21 December 2004
45        Minor bug fixes: remove bogus edit link on index listings,
46          add missing default behaviour for geolocation
47        Update supersearch help text URL.
48        Add nofollow to robots meta tag.
49        Added new CSS class "node_name" for inline non-hyperlink references
50          to node names - see README.CSS for details.
51        Fix bug with diff display on nodes containing macros.
52        Fixed distance search paging bug.
53        Fixed bug that allowed autocreation of locales and categories with
54          trailing spaces in the name.
55        Config management refactoring. This should not result in any
56          user-visible changes, apart from introducing a new dependency on
57          Class::Accessor.
58        Make it clearer in documentation that overriding factory templates
59          is a risky activity.
60        Update feedback details and include URL of RT queue.
61        Add missing tests to MANIFEST so they are included with the
62          distribution.
63       
640.45    1 December 2004
65        Made the geolocation stuff work worldwide.  Squeeeeeee!
66        You can now choose between doing your distance calculations with
67          the British National Grid, the Irish National Grid, or a UTM
68          ellipsoid.  If you wish to use anything other than the British
69          National Grid and you have pre-existing location data then you
70          will need to save an edit of each node with location data before
71          distance searches will work.
72        In less exciting news:
73          Fixed bug relating to lat/long representation.
74          Removed debugging warn accidentally left in last release.
75          Fixed some HTML validation errors.
76
770.44    17 November 2004
78        Remove all traces of display_categories, which was obsoleted but
79          not completely removed before.
80        Improved the efficiency of the search.
81        Fixed a couple of minor bugs in the search - note that node.tt
82          and supersearch.tt have changed.
83        Change the default indexer for new installs to Plucene.
84        Only run certain search-related tests if Plucene is installed.
85
860.43    21 October 2004
87        Fix broken navbar changes that crept into last release.
88
890.42    20 October 2004
90        Handle distance searching with OpenGuides::Supersearch instead of
91          find_within_distance action.
92        Fixed bug with paging on distance-only search (reported by Bob Walker).
93        Improved encapsulation in OpenGuides::Supersearch - accessors.
94        *INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE* Custom templates are now stored in
95          user-definable path, and their names are prefixed with custom_.
96          This only affects you if you have used the custom template support
97          introduced in 0.41.
98        Replace use of CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Geocache with improved node.tt.
99
1000.41    21 September 2004
101        Added backlinks link to navbar.
102        Added some anti-robot tags to certain pages.
103        Fixed bug in install procedure - blank script_name should now get
104          installed as index.cgi
105        Added option of munging in custom lib paths on install.
106        Added option of custom templates for footer, license warning
107          on edit form, banner at top of page (see CUSTOMISATION file
108          for details).
109        Added new macro - used as eg @INDEX_LIST [[Locale Fulham]]
110        Also fixed the RSS reader macro - use this as eg
111          @RSS http://london.openguides.org/?action=rss;username=Kake
112        More semantic markup for metadata display - see README.CSS
113
1140.40    18 September 2004
115        Recent Changes now shows changes in the past 24 hours, past week,
116          past fortnight, and past 30 days.
117        New preferences option to allow Recent Changes visit tracking.
118        Preferences now has an option for when your prefs expire.
119        Navbar added to diff and history pages.
120        The "omit help links" preference now actually works.
121        Set some pages to non-editable and non-deletable that should have been.
122        Recent Changes RSS fixed so "wiki:importance" is set correctly.
123        New "ignore_minor_edits" option for Recent Changes RSS.
124        Added RSS feeds for contributors, locales and categories.
125
1260.39    15 September 2004
127        Split commit_node out into OpenGuides.pm in preparation for spam filter
128        Added option of using Plucene for searching.  If you want to do this
129          (and it is recommended over the default of Search::InvertedIndex)
130          you will need to do two things:
131            - either delete your old indexes (they're just files in the index
132              directory) or use a different index directory
133            - reindex your entire wiki (see reindex.pl in the examples/
134              directory of this distribution)
135
1360.38    26 July 2004
137        Major improvements to the search result ordering (thanks to
138          Steve Jolly, Bob Walker and Billy Abbott for test cases).
139
1400.37    23 July 2004
141        Fixed bug in diff view - the versions are the right way round now...
142          Fixed bug with links in historic view.  Require CGI.pm 2.92 to
143          avoid escapeHTML bug.
144
1450.36    13 July 2004
146        Added diff link to node template.
147        Fixed case sensitivity bug in index node autocreation.
148        Fixed bug with node history comments not being HTML-escaped.
149
1500.35    25 June 2004
151        Forgot to add version prerequisite on CGI::Wiki.  Don't use 0.34,
152          use this.
153
1540.34    25 June 2004
155        Add facility to delete only certain revisions of a page - access
156          this from the node history page.
157
1580.33    20 June 2004
159        Improve node history page to allow diffing between each version and
160          the previous one or the current one.
161        Test overhauls - you don't need to run the configuration step in
162          order to run the tests now, but you do need to have DBD::SQLite
163          for most of them.
164        Fixed template bug in display_metadata.tt that was stopping map
165          links being displayed for nodes with no address data (spotted
166          by Steve Jolly).
167        Removed inline style from recent_changes.tt. You will need to add
168          the styles table#recentchanges, td.recentchanges_meta,
169          td.recentchanges_user, td.recentchanges_node_name and
170          td.recentchanges_comment to your stylesheets.
171          td#map changed to td#map_link in edit_conflict.tt.
172        Added searching by distance from an arbitrary point (click on
173          Advanced Search).
174        Internal rejigging - extracted some methods from wiki.cgi to
175          OpenGuides.pm.
176        Added new preference for default edit type.
177        Reinstate apparently lost change from 0.26 to show IP rather than
178          "Anonymous" in RecentChanges.
179        More informative <title> tags for non-node (e.g. node version
180          history) pages.
181
1820.32    7 June 2004
183        Change auto-creating behaviour of index nodes (categories and
184          locales): instead of being created on access they are created
185          when the referring node is committed. This fixes compliance with
186          RFC 2616 section 9.1.1 and prevents corrupted index nodes being
187          created accidentally.
188
1890.31    09 May 2004
190        Created a new macro to allow the embedding of RSS feeds into
191          pages, using CGI::Wiki::Plugin::RSS::Reader. This allows you
192          to do this to produce a list of up to ten hyperlinks:
193            @RSS [http://example.com/example.rss]
194       
195        Numerous template tweaks to comply with the W3C's Web Content
196          Accessibility Guidelines (http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/):
197          - summaries for all HTML tables
198          - labels for all form input elements and some textual additions
199            to templates, such as '/' separators between navbar items,
200            because the guidelines specify links should not only be
201            separated by whitespace. If you don't want these to appear,
202            put the following in your stylesheet and they'll be hidden by
203            CSS (but will still appear for people using textual browsers or
204            screen readers): ".hidden { display: none }".
205          - the "lang" element (a two-letter code identifying the language
206            you're writing pages in) will now be added to the <html> tag on
207            all pages; a new question has been added to the configuration
208            script to ask for it and it will be stored in wiki.conf.
209            ***         YOU WILL NEED TO RUN BUILD.PL AGAIN.          ***
210            *** Remember to keep a backup copy of your old wiki.conf! ***   
211
212        Improved navigation for search results (next and previous n hits).
213          Removed underscores from page names in search results.
214
215        Overhauled RDF output. Changes:
216          - everything is no longer classified as a restaurant(!)
217          - empty tags are no longer generated
218          - show categories, locales and OS x/y coords in invididual
219            node RDF view
220          - switch to W3C contact namespace for addressing data
221          - move homepage tag out of wiki metadata
222          - remove nonexistent "gs:" namespace from category indices
223          - logical structure improvements (subjects of pages are now
224            identified as spatial things if they are, or are RDF
225            descriptions if they're not, instead of being anonymous
226            FOAF topics)
227          - include city and country in RDF only for spatial things.
228
229        Fixed bug that prevented automatic database initialization on
230          SQLite databases.
231
232        Doc fix for private installations.
233
234        Removed the following characters from the list of forbidden ones in
235          node names in newpage.cgi (a restriction which dates from all the way
236          back when we were using UseModWiki): " ! $ ^ ~ @ [ ] { }
237
238        Removed newlines from output of search box macro.
239
240        Reimplemented diffing using CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Diff as it seems the
241          change in 0.30 got lost. Removed OpenGuides::Diff.pm as we should not
242          be distributing it.
243
2440.30    29 December 2003
245        Added method to allow admins to delete nodes.  You will need to
246          explicitly enable this option in your wiki.conf, since it brings
247          with it the risk of accidental data loss.
248
249        Major overhaul of templates - added numerous style hooks.  See
250          examples/ for two stylesheet designs that take advantage of these.
251          Added new banner template for page headers. Also ensured presence
252          of navigation bar is consistent.
253          *** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: *** The navbar class in the stylesheet
254          has been renamed to, unsurprisingly, "navbar", for consistency
255          (from "toolbar"). *** YOU WILL NEED TO REWRITE YOUR STYLESHEET. ***
256          You are advised to create a duplicate wiki.cgi that reads its data
257          from your database but its stylesheet and templates from the new
258          ones in order to test them *before* deploying them.
259
260        Added "FAQ", "How To Get Started" and "Wiki Etiquette" to the
261          navigation, under "Help" - these won't exist unless you create them
262          on your site, so at first the links serve as examples of
263          documentation you can provide.
264
265        Modified preferences.cgi so that all the help links in the navbar
266          can be hidden, not just the text formatting link.
267
268        Fixed some HTML validation bugs.
269
270        Added multiple install and pretty URL notes to INSTALL.
271
272        Removed pubcrawl stuff from distro for now - it doesn't really work.
273
274        Changed to use CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Diff instead of OpenGuides::Diff.
275
2760.29    8 November 2003
277        Expanded section in TROUBLESHOOTING about permissions problems.
278
279        Diff.pm now absorbs trailing punctuation and spaces into words
280          it is diffing (to give less blocky results).
281
282        SuperSearch.pm change NOT to use '-' instead of '!'.
283
2840.28    1 November 2003
285        Allow running sites on SQLite databases.
286
287        Fixed bug with navbar prompt in Build.PL (CPAN RT #3894).
288        Junked OpenGuides::Config completely to avoid database password
289          leakage, and easier install (CPAN RT #3916).
290
2910.27    1 November 2003
292        Fixed bug with category/locale indexing - no longer case-sensitive.
293
294        Fixed bug that had the supersearch results page offering an edit link.
295
296        Revamp of search syntax to make the SuperSearch UI much more like
297        Google and Alta Vista. See the POD of SuperSearch.pm for details.
298
2990.26    9 October 2003
300        Modified TROUBLESHOOTING to reflect the correct invocation for
301          Module::Build to install into a private directory.
302
303        Show IP address for anonymous edits.
304
305        Changed CGI.pm version dependency for Dom (CPAN bug #3895).
306
307        Added check to OpenGuides::SuperSearch to stop it trying to
308          retrieve a nonexistent node when the search indexes have screwed up.
309
3100.25    23 September 2003
311        Applied recent changes fix to front page feed as well.
312
313        Search box now searches categories and locales as well as title and
314          body - so for example a search on "holborn & pubs" will DTRT.
315
316        NOT and phrase search tests were passing even though they shouldn't
317          have been - skip them for now.
318
3190.24    8 September 2003
320        Fix to recent changes so minor changes don't mask major ones.
321
322        Fixed supersearch.cgi to use a template instead of CGI.pm to avoid
323          weird errors, also turned it into a module and added tests.
324        Strip whitespace from OS co-ords before storing in database.
325
3260.23    4 August 2003
327        Removed the "POST_CHOMP" option as it was messing up textareas, added
328        a test to make sure this doesn't reoccur.
329
3300.22    4 August 2003
331        Fixed bug with usernames containing spaces in recent changes/userstats.
332
333        Try out create_makefile_pl => "passthrough" in Build.PL
334
335        Minor fixes to tests to make them work with newest UseMod formatter.
336
337        Prevented "Edit this page" from showing up on category indexes.
338
339        Set TT "POST_CHOMP" option to strip unnecessary newlines from HTML.
340
341        Fixed CPAN bug #3085 - quotes in change summary box.
342
343        Added openguides_version template variable and added it to page
344        footer (CPAN request 3110).
345
3460.21    17 July 2003
347        We no longer autogenerate a Makefile.PL, since it doesn't pick up
348        all the questions that need to be asked.  Sorry.  Use Module::Build
349        as detailed in INSTALL, since you won't be able to get the right
350        version of Text::WikiFormat installed without it in any case.
351
352        Added version number to CGI.pm prereq as Alex McLintock hit a
353        version that didn't have unescape.
354
355        Added a link on RecentChanges to the RSS version, and put an
356        autodiscovery tag for the RSS in the head section.
357
358        Changed diff feature to hide checksums, which aren't necessary for
359        the user to see. Fixed a minor bug in the node history template so
360        that the diff links compare the selected version against the previous
361        one, not the original one every time.
362
3630.20    10 July 2003
364        Fixed all the email addresses to openguides-dev@openguides.org.
365
3660.19    10 July 2003
367        Extra checks that script_url ends in a '/'.
368
369        Fixed small bug with edit conflict form - map link field was missing.
370
371        Moved "content" div in a couple of templates to fix incorrect nesting.
372
373        @INDEX_LINK macros now have optional title text like so:
374          @INDEX_LINK [[Category Pubs|Pubs]]
375
376        Added preferences option for including or excluding text formatting
377        rules link in navbar.  Enable this by setting text_formatting_node
378        in your config file.
379
380        Added config option for including the navbar on the home page.
381
382        Implemented minor edits.
383
384        Fixed cookie to persist beyond session.
385
3860.18    16 June 2003
387        Added a Makefile.PL as well as a Build.PL, for CPAN.pm users.
388
3890.17    15 June 2003
390        Fixed OpenGuides::Utils to take note of dbhost.
391 
392        Added example stylesheet provided by the OxfordGuide team.
393
3940.16    26 May 2003
395        Ivor fixed OpenGuides::Diff to diff by word instead of by character.
396
397        Fixed edit conflict up so it works nicely when you click the
398        Save button as well as the Preview one.
399
400        Added preferences option of displaying lat/long as deg-min-sec
401        instead of decimal (requested by James).
402
4030.15    18 May 2003
404        Added Algorithm::Diff version dependency to prereqs, fixed bug
405        with preferences.cgi and blank script_name, fixed REDIRECT bug.
406
4070.14    17 May 2003
408        Added "Wanted Pages" link to navbar, thanks to Simon Cozens for
409        the idea.
410
411        Fixed many bugs noticed by Dominic Hargreaves and other Oxonians.
412        Many thanks to Dominic for making an Oxford OpenGuides install for
413        us to find bugs in.
414
4150.13    17 May 2003
416        Added some more stylesheet hooks.
417 
418        Tweaked OpenGuides::Diff to make it testable, added a start at tests.
419
420        Lat and long now stored to only 6dp instead of millions.
421
422        Added edit field for map link.
423
4240.12    14 May 2003
425        Added OpenGuides::CGI to manage cookies and things, used this to
426        do more code tidying.  Added edit box position option to preferences.
427
4280.11    14 May 2003
429        Added newpage.cgi for an easy way to create new pages.
430
431        Took loads of repeated code (for extracting and packaging metadata
432        variables) out of wiki.cgi into OpenGuides::Template.
433
4340.10    11 May 2003
435        Added OpenGuides::Diff to provide nice diff output between
436        node versions.
437
438        Added OpenGuides::Template to handle Template Toolkit stuff in a
439        more testable and reusable way than just bunging it in wiki.cgi.
440
4410.09    10 May 2003
442        Added OpenGuides::UK::PubCrawl and pubcrawl.cgi as a start at a
443        pub crawl generator.
444
445        Added OpenGuides::Utils to make it easier to write little standalone
446        scripts like supersearch.cgi, pubcrawl. cgi, etc.  Made wiki.cgi and
447        supersearch.cgi use it, and lost loads of duplicated code in the
448        process, hurrah.
449
4500.08    3 May 2003
451        Added fuzzy matching capability -
452          action=index;index_type=fuzzy_title_match;index_value=hollborne
453        Someone needs to write a nice search box interface for this.
454
455        Fixed edit_conflict template and preview method to cope with stale
456        checksum - passes through all the metadata properly now and offers
457        a side by side comparison of what you input and what is stored.
458
459        RDF output for node is now encoding-agnostic (used to have UTF-8
460        hardcoded).  Also is now called as wiki.cgi?id=Node_Name;format=rdf
461
4620.07    3 May 2003
463        Require CGI::Wiki 0.32 to avoid bug (again a Bob find!) where
464        committing a node with metadata but no content would die.
465
466        Auto-created category/locale stub pages now added to Category Category
467        or Category Locales as appropriate.
468
469        Added a couple of extra allowed HTML tags to cater for existing
470        grubstreet data.
471
472        Fixed bug in OpenGuides::RDF - it used to die if called on a
473        nonexistent node, now it returns stuff with a wiki:version of 0.
474
4750.06    2 May 2003
476        Fixed supersearch.cgi so it works with MySQL as well as Postgres
477        (thanks again to Bob for finding the bug).
478
4790.05    2 May 2003
480        Redid the script and template installation so the script does
481        actually get called what you said it should be (code copied
482        somewhat from Siesta::Build).
483
484        Fixed the support for non-local databases/IDENT authentication.
485        I think.
486
487        Fixed the hardcoded 'wiki.cgi' in some of the templates (thanks Bob).
488
4890.04    29 April 2003
490        First public release.
