7
80.48    24 July 2005
9        RDF enhancements:
10          Removed redundant "id" parameter specification from dc:source in
11            rdf:Description in RDF node listings.
12          Fixed bug that was causing all nodes to be flagged as a
13            geo:SpatialThing whether they were or not.
14          Ensured that ampersands and greater/less than symbols were properly
15            escaped so as not to be XML-toxic.
16          Added geo:lat, geo:long and RSS link attributes to items in
17            category/locale listings to facilitate integration with mapping
18            applications.
19          Added owl:sameAs property to RDF output for nodes that are redirects
20            to other nodes.
21          RSS feed now has correct timestamp (matching most recent item) and
22            matching Last-Modified HTTP header.
23        Reorder navigation bar to provide more logical groupings.
24        Add "format=plain" option for all-nodes index listing and associated
25          template plain_index.tt.
26        New message to appear on pages when you have been redirected
27          informing you of the fact.
28        Stop showing potentially very long map URLs in metadata section of
29          node display.
30        Replace ugly obliques in display of categories and locales with more
31          natural commas; change "locale" to "locales" in label.
32        Replace <label> tags in display_metadata.tt with <span
33          class="metadata_label">.
34        Wanted pages listing now displays, and sorts by, the number of nodes
35          pointing to each node.
36        Prevent redirect loops.
37        Add _ to the list of forbidden characters in node names.
38
390.47    15 January 2005
40        Fixed bug with list_all_versions for nodes with only one version.
41        Extended config changes to examples/reindex.pl (thanks jimbo).
42        Now require CGI::Wiki 0.62 to fix bug with deleting versions.
43        Try to ensure that a .htaccess file protecting wiki.conf is installed.
44        Allow for external URLs for Text Formatting help.
45        Home node recent changes box now flags new entries.
46        Made default city and country be blank; specify them if you want them.
47        Missing PREREQUISITE on Plucene added.
48        Added CSS id "maincontent" to exclude the navbar and footer. Misc
49        template tidying including removing old layout tables.
50
510.46    21 December 2004
52        Minor bug fixes: remove bogus edit link on index listings,
53          add missing default behaviour for geolocation
54        Update supersearch help text URL.
55        Add nofollow to robots meta tag.
56        Added new CSS class "node_name" for inline non-hyperlink references
57          to node names - see README.CSS for details.
58        Fix bug with diff display on nodes containing macros.
59        Fixed distance search paging bug.
60        Fixed bug that allowed autocreation of locales and categories with
61          trailing spaces in the name.
62        Config management refactoring. This should not result in any
63          user-visible changes, apart from introducing a new dependency on
64          Class::Accessor.
65        Make it clearer in documentation that overriding factory templates
66          is a risky activity.
67        Update feedback details and include URL of RT queue.
68        Add missing tests to MANIFEST so they are included with the
69          distribution.
70       
710.45    1 December 2004
72        Made the geolocation stuff work worldwide.  Squeeeeeee!
73        You can now choose between doing your distance calculations with
74          the British National Grid, the Irish National Grid, or a UTM
75          ellipsoid.  If you wish to use anything other than the British
76          National Grid and you have pre-existing location data then you
77          will need to save an edit of each node with location data before
78          distance searches will work.
79        In less exciting news:
80          Fixed bug relating to lat/long representation.
81          Removed debugging warn accidentally left in last release.
82          Fixed some HTML validation errors.
83
840.44    17 November 2004
85        Remove all traces of display_categories, which was obsoleted but
86          not completely removed before.
87        Improved the efficiency of the search.
88        Fixed a couple of minor bugs in the search - note that node.tt
89          and supersearch.tt have changed.
90        Change the default indexer for new installs to Plucene.
91        Only run certain search-related tests if Plucene is installed.
92
930.43    21 October 2004
94        Fix broken navbar changes that crept into last release.
95
960.42    20 October 2004
97        Handle distance searching with OpenGuides::Supersearch instead of
98          find_within_distance action.
99        Fixed bug with paging on distance-only search (reported by Bob Walker).
100        Improved encapsulation in OpenGuides::Supersearch - accessors.
101        *INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE* Custom templates are now stored in
102          user-definable path, and their names are prefixed with custom_.
103          This only affects you if you have used the custom template support
104          introduced in 0.41.
105        Replace use of CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Geocache with improved node.tt.
106
1070.41    21 September 2004
108        Added backlinks link to navbar.
109        Added some anti-robot tags to certain pages.
110        Fixed bug in install procedure - blank script_name should now get
111          installed as index.cgi
112        Added option of munging in custom lib paths on install.
113        Added option of custom templates for footer, license warning
114          on edit form, banner at top of page (see CUSTOMISATION file
115          for details).
116        Added new macro - used as eg @INDEX_LIST [[Locale Fulham]]
117        Also fixed the RSS reader macro - use this as eg
118          @RSS http://london.openguides.org/?action=rss;username=Kake
119        More semantic markup for metadata display - see README.CSS
120
1210.40    18 September 2004
122        Recent Changes now shows changes in the past 24 hours, past week,
123          past fortnight, and past 30 days.
124        New preferences option to allow Recent Changes visit tracking.
125        Preferences now has an option for when your prefs expire.
126        Navbar added to diff and history pages.
127        The "omit help links" preference now actually works.
128        Set some pages to non-editable and non-deletable that should have been.
129        Recent Changes RSS fixed so "wiki:importance" is set correctly.
130        New "ignore_minor_edits" option for Recent Changes RSS.
131        Added RSS feeds for contributors, locales and categories.
132
1330.39    15 September 2004
134        Split commit_node out into OpenGuides.pm in preparation for spam filter
135        Added option of using Plucene for searching.  If you want to do this
136          (and it is recommended over the default of Search::InvertedIndex)
137          you will need to do two things:
138            - either delete your old indexes (they're just files in the index
139              directory) or use a different index directory
140            - reindex your entire wiki (see reindex.pl in the examples/
141              directory of this distribution)
142
1430.38    26 July 2004
144        Major improvements to the search result ordering (thanks to
145          Steve Jolly, Bob Walker and Billy Abbott for test cases).
146
1470.37    23 July 2004
148        Fixed bug in diff view - the versions are the right way round now...
149          Fixed bug with links in historic view.  Require CGI.pm 2.92 to
150          avoid escapeHTML bug.
151
1520.36    13 July 2004
153        Added diff link to node template.
154        Fixed case sensitivity bug in index node autocreation.
155        Fixed bug with node history comments not being HTML-escaped.
156
1570.35    25 June 2004
158        Forgot to add version prerequisite on CGI::Wiki.  Don't use 0.34,
159          use this.
160
1610.34    25 June 2004
162        Add facility to delete only certain revisions of a page - access
163          this from the node history page.
164
1650.33    20 June 2004
166        Improve node history page to allow diffing between each version and
167          the previous one or the current one.
168        Test overhauls - you don't need to run the configuration step in
169          order to run the tests now, but you do need to have DBD::SQLite
170          for most of them.
171        Fixed template bug in display_metadata.tt that was stopping map
172          links being displayed for nodes with no address data (spotted
173          by Steve Jolly).
174        Removed inline style from recent_changes.tt. You will need to add
175          the styles table#recentchanges, td.recentchanges_meta,
176          td.recentchanges_user, td.recentchanges_node_name and
177          td.recentchanges_comment to your stylesheets.
178          td#map changed to td#map_link in edit_conflict.tt.
179        Added searching by distance from an arbitrary point (click on
180          Advanced Search).
181        Internal rejigging - extracted some methods from wiki.cgi to
182          OpenGuides.pm.
183        Added new preference for default edit type.
184        Reinstate apparently lost change from 0.26 to show IP rather than
185          "Anonymous" in RecentChanges.
186        More informative <title> tags for non-node (e.g. node version
187          history) pages.
188
1890.32    7 June 2004
190        Change auto-creating behaviour of index nodes (categories and
191          locales): instead of being created on access they are created
192          when the referring node is committed. This fixes compliance with
193          RFC 2616 section 9.1.1 and prevents corrupted index nodes being
194          created accidentally.
195
1960.31    09 May 2004
197        Created a new macro to allow the embedding of RSS feeds into
198          pages, using CGI::Wiki::Plugin::RSS::Reader. This allows you
199          to do this to produce a list of up to ten hyperlinks:
200            @RSS [http://example.com/example.rss]
201       
202        Numerous template tweaks to comply with the W3C's Web Content
203          Accessibility Guidelines (http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/):
204          - summaries for all HTML tables
205          - labels for all form input elements and some textual additions
206            to templates, such as '/' separators between navbar items,
207            because the guidelines specify links should not only be
208            separated by whitespace. If you don't want these to appear,
209            put the following in your stylesheet and they'll be hidden by
210            CSS (but will still appear for people using textual browsers or
211            screen readers): ".hidden { display: none }".
212          - the "lang" element (a two-letter code identifying the language
213            you're writing pages in) will now be added to the <html> tag on
214            all pages; a new question has been added to the configuration
215            script to ask for it and it will be stored in wiki.conf.
216            ***         YOU WILL NEED TO RUN BUILD.PL AGAIN.          ***
217            *** Remember to keep a backup copy of your old wiki.conf! ***   
218
219        Improved navigation for search results (next and previous n hits).
220          Removed underscores from page names in search results.
221
222        Overhauled RDF output. Changes:
223          - everything is no longer classified as a restaurant(!)
224          - empty tags are no longer generated
225          - show categories, locales and OS x/y coords in invididual
226            node RDF view
227          - switch to W3C contact namespace for addressing data
228          - move homepage tag out of wiki metadata
229          - remove nonexistent "gs:" namespace from category indices
230          - logical structure improvements (subjects of pages are now
231            identified as spatial things if they are, or are RDF
232            descriptions if they're not, instead of being anonymous
233            FOAF topics)
234          - include city and country in RDF only for spatial things.
235
236        Fixed bug that prevented automatic database initialization on
237          SQLite databases.
238
239        Doc fix for private installations.
240
241        Removed the following characters from the list of forbidden ones in
242          node names in newpage.cgi (a restriction which dates from all the way
243          back when we were using UseModWiki): " ! $ ^ ~ @ [ ] { }
244
245        Removed newlines from output of search box macro.
246
247        Reimplemented diffing using CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Diff as it seems the
248          change in 0.30 got lost. Removed OpenGuides::Diff.pm as we should not
249          be distributing it.
250
2510.30    29 December 2003
252        Added method to allow admins to delete nodes.  You will need to
253          explicitly enable this option in your wiki.conf, since it brings
254          with it the risk of accidental data loss.
255
256        Major overhaul of templates - added numerous style hooks.  See
257          examples/ for two stylesheet designs that take advantage of these.
258          Added new banner template for page headers. Also ensured presence
259          of navigation bar is consistent.
260          *** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: *** The navbar class in the stylesheet
261          has been renamed to, unsurprisingly, "navbar", for consistency
262          (from "toolbar"). *** YOU WILL NEED TO REWRITE YOUR STYLESHEET. ***
263          You are advised to create a duplicate wiki.cgi that reads its data
264          from your database but its stylesheet and templates from the new
265          ones in order to test them *before* deploying them.
266
267        Added "FAQ", "How To Get Started" and "Wiki Etiquette" to the
268          navigation, under "Help" - these won't exist unless you create them
269          on your site, so at first the links serve as examples of
270          documentation you can provide.
271
272        Modified preferences.cgi so that all the help links in the navbar
273          can be hidden, not just the text formatting link.
274
275        Fixed some HTML validation bugs.
276
277        Added multiple install and pretty URL notes to INSTALL.
278
279        Removed pubcrawl stuff from distro for now - it doesn't really work.
280
281        Changed to use CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Diff instead of OpenGuides::Diff.
282
2830.29    8 November 2003
284        Expanded section in TROUBLESHOOTING about permissions problems.
285
286        Diff.pm now absorbs trailing punctuation and spaces into words
287          it is diffing (to give less blocky results).
288
289        SuperSearch.pm change NOT to use '-' instead of '!'.
290
2910.28    1 November 2003
292        Allow running sites on SQLite databases.
293
294        Fixed bug with navbar prompt in Build.PL (CPAN RT #3894).
295        Junked OpenGuides::Config completely to avoid database password
296          leakage, and easier install (CPAN RT #3916).
297
2980.27    1 November 2003
299        Fixed bug with category/locale indexing - no longer case-sensitive.
300
301        Fixed bug that had the supersearch results page offering an edit link.
302
303        Revamp of search syntax to make the SuperSearch UI much more like
304        Google and Alta Vista. See the POD of SuperSearch.pm for details.
305
3060.26    9 October 2003
307        Modified TROUBLESHOOTING to reflect the correct invocation for
308          Module::Build to install into a private directory.
309
310        Show IP address for anonymous edits.
311
312        Changed CGI.pm version dependency for Dom (CPAN bug #3895).
313
314        Added check to OpenGuides::SuperSearch to stop it trying to
315          retrieve a nonexistent node when the search indexes have screwed up.
316
3170.25    23 September 2003
318        Applied recent changes fix to front page feed as well.
319
320        Search box now searches categories and locales as well as title and
321          body - so for example a search on "holborn & pubs" will DTRT.
322
323        NOT and phrase search tests were passing even though they shouldn't
324          have been - skip them for now.
325
3260.24    8 September 2003
327        Fix to recent changes so minor changes don't mask major ones.
328
329        Fixed supersearch.cgi to use a template instead of CGI.pm to avoid
330          weird errors, also turned it into a module and added tests.
331        Strip whitespace from OS co-ords before storing in database.
332
3330.23    4 August 2003
334        Removed the "POST_CHOMP" option as it was messing up textareas, added
335        a test to make sure this doesn't reoccur.
336
3370.22    4 August 2003
338        Fixed bug with usernames containing spaces in recent changes/userstats.
339
340        Try out create_makefile_pl => "passthrough" in Build.PL
341
342        Minor fixes to tests to make them work with newest UseMod formatter.
343
344        Prevented "Edit this page" from showing up on category indexes.
345
346        Set TT "POST_CHOMP" option to strip unnecessary newlines from HTML.
347
348        Fixed CPAN bug #3085 - quotes in change summary box.
349
350        Added openguides_version template variable and added it to page
351        footer (CPAN request 3110).
352
3530.21    17 July 2003
354        We no longer autogenerate a Makefile.PL, since it doesn't pick up
355        all the questions that need to be asked.  Sorry.  Use Module::Build
356        as detailed in INSTALL, since you won't be able to get the right
357        version of Text::WikiFormat installed without it in any case.
358
359        Added version number to CGI.pm prereq as Alex McLintock hit a
360        version that didn't have unescape.
361
362        Added a link on RecentChanges to the RSS version, and put an
363        autodiscovery tag for the RSS in the head section.
364
365        Changed diff feature to hide checksums, which aren't necessary for
366        the user to see. Fixed a minor bug in the node history template so
367        that the diff links compare the selected version against the previous
368        one, not the original one every time.
369
3700.20    10 July 2003
371        Fixed all the email addresses to openguides-dev@openguides.org.
372
3730.19    10 July 2003
374        Extra checks that script_url ends in a '/'.
375
376        Fixed small bug with edit conflict form - map link field was missing.
377
378        Moved "content" div in a couple of templates to fix incorrect nesting.
379
380        @INDEX_LINK macros now have optional title text like so:
381          @INDEX_LINK [[Category Pubs|Pubs]]
382
383        Added preferences option for including or excluding text formatting
384        rules link in navbar.  Enable this by setting text_formatting_node
385        in your config file.
386
387        Added config option for including the navbar on the home page.
388
389        Implemented minor edits.
390
391        Fixed cookie to persist beyond session.
392
3930.18    16 June 2003
394        Added a Makefile.PL as well as a Build.PL, for CPAN.pm users.
395
3960.17    15 June 2003
397        Fixed OpenGuides::Utils to take note of dbhost.
398 
399        Added example stylesheet provided by the OxfordGuide team.
400
4010.16    26 May 2003
402        Ivor fixed OpenGuides::Diff to diff by word instead of by character.
403
404        Fixed edit conflict up so it works nicely when you click the
405        Save button as well as the Preview one.
406
407        Added preferences option of displaying lat/long as deg-min-sec
408        instead of decimal (requested by James).
409
4100.15    18 May 2003
411        Added Algorithm::Diff version dependency to prereqs, fixed bug
412        with preferences.cgi and blank script_name, fixed REDIRECT bug.
413
4140.14    17 May 2003
415        Added "Wanted Pages" link to navbar, thanks to Simon Cozens for
416        the idea.
417
418        Fixed many bugs noticed by Dominic Hargreaves and other Oxonians.
419        Many thanks to Dominic for making an Oxford OpenGuides install for
420        us to find bugs in.
421
4220.13    17 May 2003
423        Added some more stylesheet hooks.
424 
425        Tweaked OpenGuides::Diff to make it testable, added a start at tests.
426
427        Lat and long now stored to only 6dp instead of millions.
428
429        Added edit field for map link.
430
4310.12    14 May 2003
432        Added OpenGuides::CGI to manage cookies and things, used this to
433        do more code tidying.  Added edit box position option to preferences.
434
4350.11    14 May 2003
436        Added newpage.cgi for an easy way to create new pages.
437
438        Took loads of repeated code (for extracting and packaging metadata
439        variables) out of wiki.cgi into OpenGuides::Template.
440
4410.10    11 May 2003
442        Added OpenGuides::Diff to provide nice diff output between
443        node versions.
444
445        Added OpenGuides::Template to handle Template Toolkit stuff in a
446        more testable and reusable way than just bunging it in wiki.cgi.
447
4480.09    10 May 2003
449        Added OpenGuides::UK::PubCrawl and pubcrawl.cgi as a start at a
450        pub crawl generator.
451
452        Added OpenGuides::Utils to make it easier to write little standalone
453        scripts like supersearch.cgi, pubcrawl. cgi, etc.  Made wiki.cgi and
454        supersearch.cgi use it, and lost loads of duplicated code in the
455        process, hurrah.
456
4570.08    3 May 2003
458        Added fuzzy matching capability -
459          action=index;index_type=fuzzy_title_match;index_value=hollborne
460        Someone needs to write a nice search box interface for this.
461
462        Fixed edit_conflict template and preview method to cope with stale
463        checksum - passes through all the metadata properly now and offers
464        a side by side comparison of what you input and what is stored.
465
466        RDF output for node is now encoding-agnostic (used to have UTF-8
467        hardcoded).  Also is now called as wiki.cgi?id=Node_Name;format=rdf
468
4690.07    3 May 2003
470        Require CGI::Wiki 0.32 to avoid bug (again a Bob find!) where
471        committing a node with metadata but no content would die.
472
473        Auto-created category/locale stub pages now added to Category Category
474        or Category Locales as appropriate.
475
476        Added a couple of extra allowed HTML tags to cater for existing
477        grubstreet data.
478
479        Fixed bug in OpenGuides::RDF - it used to die if called on a
480        nonexistent node, now it returns stuff with a wiki:version of 0.
481
4820.06    2 May 2003
483        Fixed supersearch.cgi so it works with MySQL as well as Postgres
484        (thanks again to Bob for finding the bug).
485
4860.05    2 May 2003
487        Redid the script and template installation so the script does
488        actually get called what you said it should be (code copied
489        somewhat from Siesta::Build).
490
491        Fixed the support for non-local databases/IDENT authentication.
492        I think.
493
494        Fixed the hardcoded 'wiki.cgi' in some of the templates (thanks Bob).
495
4960.04    29 April 2003
497        First public release.
