10.52    5 March 2006
2        IMPORTANT CHANGE: "supersearch.cgi" is now simply "search.cgi". If you
3          have customisations to your templates, you may need to make changes
4          to reflect this.
5        Rename OpenGuides::SuperSearch to OpenGuides::Search.
6        Use corrent content-type (application/rdf+xml) for all RDF output.
7        Things with opening hours are marked as geospatial in RDF.
8        Fix missing bracket in node.tt.
9        Add custom_node template just below main content in node.tt.
10        Google Maps support! There is a new index type,
11        wiki.cgi?action=index;format=map, and maps appear in the node listings
12        (the latter feature is user-configurable).
13        Fix <link> in RSS to point to RecentChanges page, not the feed itself.
14        #67 Default website for a page is now http://
15        Fix mod_perl redirect bug.
16        Fix test failure with CGI.pm 3.16.
17        #87 Edit on mirrored pages now goes to source site
18        #66 Locales in RDF now use dc:title, not foaf:name
19
200.51    15 November 2005
21        Important changes:
22          * The preferred way to get RecentChanges is now to pass the CGI the
23            parameter "action=rc", rather than just using the page name
24            "RecentChanges". However, this method will still work for the time
25            being. Similarly, the URL parameter for the RecentChanges RSS feed
26            has changed from "action=rss" to "action=rc;format=rss". Requests
27            for the former will be redirected to the latter.
28
29        New features:
30          * When trying to view a non-existent node, you will now be presented
31            with a message asking if you want to create that node, rather than
32            a blank page.
33          * New "summary" metadata field for one-line summaries of nodes:
34            - Add summary field to RDF as dc:description.
35            - Show node summary in search results.
36          * New "format=raw" option for outputting wiki text of a node.
37          * RSS feed now contains DOAP (http://usefulinc.com/doap) metadata.
38       
39        RDF bugfixes:
40          * Locales, address and summary fields now XML-escaped properly.
41          * Add "address" field that was missing from the RDF node view.
42          * Update URL for Dublin Core elements in RDF index view.
43          * Fix URL in the RSS <channel> element to point to the RSS URL,
44            not the RecentChanges page URL.
45       
46        Search bugfixes:
47          * Fix bug that was breaking coordinate entry fields on search page if
48            lat/lon was being used.
49          * Fix bug in OpenGuides::SuperSearch that wasn't passing "latitude"
50            and "longitude" values to the search template when a distance
51            search was being done.
52       
53        Minor improvements:
54          * Replace underscores in node names in "redirected from" message
55            with spaces.
56          * "Redirected from" message now links to a rendered version of
57            the old page rather than the editing view.
58       
59        Miscellaneous bugfixes:
60          * Fix problem with newer Text::Wikiformat and blank nodes.
61          * Fix bug in navbar template that caused warnings in the tests.
62       
630.50    2 October 2005
64        Remove rogue ampersand that had crept into the RSS feed.
65       
660.49    24 July 2005
67        Add updated prerequisite on CGI::Wiki::Plugin::RSS::ModWiki (fixes
68        a test failure)
69
700.48    24 July 2005
71        RDF enhancements:
72          * Removed redundant "id" parameter specification from dc:source in
73            rdf:Description in RDF node listings.
74          * Fixed bug that was causing all nodes to be flagged as a
75            geo:SpatialThing whether they were or not.
76          * Ensured that ampersands and greater/less than symbols were properly
77            escaped so as not to be XML-toxic.
78          * Added geo:lat, geo:long and RSS link attributes to items in
79            category/locale listings to facilitate integration with mapping
80            applications.
81          * Added owl:sameAs property to RDF output for nodes that are redirects
82            to other nodes.
83          * RSS feed now has correct timestamp (matching most recent item) and
84            matching Last-Modified HTTP header.
85        Reorder navigation bar to provide more logical groupings.
86        Add "format=plain" option for all-nodes index listing and associated
87          template plain_index.tt.
88        New message to appear on pages when you have been redirected
89          informing you of the fact.
90        Stop showing potentially very long map URLs in metadata section of
91          node display.
92        Replace ugly obliques in display of categories and locales with more
93          natural commas; change "locale" to "locales" in label.
94        Replace <label> tags in display_metadata.tt with <span
95          class="metadata_label">.
96        Wanted pages listing now displays, and sorts by, the number of nodes
97          pointing to each node.
98        Prevent redirect loops.
99        Add _ to the list of forbidden characters in node names.
100
1010.47    15 January 2005
102        Fixed bug with list_all_versions for nodes with only one version.
103        Extended config changes to examples/reindex.pl (thanks jimbo).
104        Now require CGI::Wiki 0.62 to fix bug with deleting versions.
105        Try to ensure that a .htaccess file protecting wiki.conf is installed.
106        Allow for external URLs for Text Formatting help.
107        Home node recent changes box now flags new entries.
108        Made default city and country be blank; specify them if you want them.
109        Missing PREREQUISITE on Plucene added.
110        Added CSS id "maincontent" to exclude the navbar and footer. Misc
111        template tidying including removing old layout tables.
112
1130.46    21 December 2004
114        Minor bug fixes: remove bogus edit link on index listings,
115          add missing default behaviour for geolocation
116        Update supersearch help text URL.
117        Add nofollow to robots meta tag.
118        Added new CSS class "node_name" for inline non-hyperlink references
119          to node names - see README.CSS for details.
120        Fix bug with diff display on nodes containing macros.
121        Fixed distance search paging bug.
122        Fixed bug that allowed autocreation of locales and categories with
123          trailing spaces in the name.
124        Config management refactoring. This should not result in any
125          user-visible changes, apart from introducing a new dependency on
126          Class::Accessor.
127        Make it clearer in documentation that overriding factory templates
128          is a risky activity.
129        Update feedback details and include URL of RT queue.
130        Add missing tests to MANIFEST so they are included with the
131          distribution.
132       
1330.45    1 December 2004
134        Made the geolocation stuff work worldwide.  Squeeeeeee!
135        You can now choose between doing your distance calculations with
136          the British National Grid, the Irish National Grid, or a UTM
137          ellipsoid.  If you wish to use anything other than the British
138          National Grid and you have pre-existing location data then you
139          will need to save an edit of each node with location data before
140          distance searches will work.
141        In less exciting news:
142          Fixed bug relating to lat/long representation.
143          Removed debugging warn accidentally left in last release.
144          Fixed some HTML validation errors.
145
1460.44    17 November 2004
147        Remove all traces of display_categories, which was obsoleted but
148          not completely removed before.
149        Improved the efficiency of the search.
150        Fixed a couple of minor bugs in the search - note that node.tt
151          and supersearch.tt have changed.
152        Change the default indexer for new installs to Plucene.
153        Only run certain search-related tests if Plucene is installed.
154
1550.43    21 October 2004
156        Fix broken navbar changes that crept into last release.
157
1580.42    20 October 2004
159        Handle distance searching with OpenGuides::Supersearch instead of
160          find_within_distance action.
161        Fixed bug with paging on distance-only search (reported by Bob Walker).
162        Improved encapsulation in OpenGuides::Supersearch - accessors.
163        *INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE* Custom templates are now stored in
164          user-definable path, and their names are prefixed with custom_.
165          This only affects you if you have used the custom template support
166          introduced in 0.41.
167        Replace use of CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Geocache with improved node.tt.
168
1690.41    21 September 2004
170        Added backlinks link to navbar.
171        Added some anti-robot tags to certain pages.
172        Fixed bug in install procedure - blank script_name should now get
173          installed as index.cgi
174        Added option of munging in custom lib paths on install.
175        Added option of custom templates for footer, license warning
176          on edit form, banner at top of page (see CUSTOMISATION file
177          for details).
178        Added new macro - used as eg @INDEX_LIST [[Locale Fulham]]
179        Also fixed the RSS reader macro - use this as eg
180          @RSS http://london.openguides.org/?action=rss;username=Kake
181        More semantic markup for metadata display - see README.CSS
182
1830.40    18 September 2004
184        Recent Changes now shows changes in the past 24 hours, past week,
185          past fortnight, and past 30 days.
186        New preferences option to allow Recent Changes visit tracking.
187        Preferences now has an option for when your prefs expire.
188        Navbar added to diff and history pages.
189        The "omit help links" preference now actually works.
190        Set some pages to non-editable and non-deletable that should have been.
191        Recent Changes RSS fixed so "wiki:importance" is set correctly.
192        New "ignore_minor_edits" option for Recent Changes RSS.
193        Added RSS feeds for contributors, locales and categories.
194
1950.39    15 September 2004
196        Split commit_node out into OpenGuides.pm in preparation for spam filter
197        Added option of using Plucene for searching.  If you want to do this
198          (and it is recommended over the default of Search::InvertedIndex)
199          you will need to do two things:
200            - either delete your old indexes (they're just files in the index
201              directory) or use a different index directory
202            - reindex your entire wiki (see reindex.pl in the examples/
203              directory of this distribution)
204
2050.38    26 July 2004
206        Major improvements to the search result ordering (thanks to
207          Steve Jolly, Bob Walker and Billy Abbott for test cases).
208
2090.37    23 July 2004
210        Fixed bug in diff view - the versions are the right way round now...
211          Fixed bug with links in historic view.  Require CGI.pm 2.92 to
212          avoid escapeHTML bug.
213
2140.36    13 July 2004
215        Added diff link to node template.
216        Fixed case sensitivity bug in index node autocreation.
217        Fixed bug with node history comments not being HTML-escaped.
218
2190.35    25 June 2004
220        Forgot to add version prerequisite on CGI::Wiki.  Don't use 0.34,
221          use this.
222
2230.34    25 June 2004
224        Add facility to delete only certain revisions of a page - access
225          this from the node history page.
226
2270.33    20 June 2004
228        Improve node history page to allow diffing between each version and
229          the previous one or the current one.
230        Test overhauls - you don't need to run the configuration step in
231          order to run the tests now, but you do need to have DBD::SQLite
232          for most of them.
233        Fixed template bug in display_metadata.tt that was stopping map
234          links being displayed for nodes with no address data (spotted
235          by Steve Jolly).
236        Removed inline style from recent_changes.tt. You will need to add
237          the styles table#recentchanges, td.recentchanges_meta,
238          td.recentchanges_user, td.recentchanges_node_name and
239          td.recentchanges_comment to your stylesheets.
240          td#map changed to td#map_link in edit_conflict.tt.
241        Added searching by distance from an arbitrary point (click on
242          Advanced Search).
243        Internal rejigging - extracted some methods from wiki.cgi to
244          OpenGuides.pm.
245        Added new preference for default edit type.
246        Reinstate apparently lost change from 0.26 to show IP rather than
247          "Anonymous" in RecentChanges.
248        More informative <title> tags for non-node (e.g. node version
249          history) pages.
250
2510.32    7 June 2004
252        Change auto-creating behaviour of index nodes (categories and
253          locales): instead of being created on access they are created
254          when the referring node is committed. This fixes compliance with
255          RFC 2616 section 9.1.1 and prevents corrupted index nodes being
256          created accidentally.
257
2580.31    09 May 2004
259        Created a new macro to allow the embedding of RSS feeds into
260          pages, using CGI::Wiki::Plugin::RSS::Reader. This allows you
261          to do this to produce a list of up to ten hyperlinks:
262            @RSS [http://example.com/example.rss]
263       
264        Numerous template tweaks to comply with the W3C's Web Content
265          Accessibility Guidelines (http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/):
266          - summaries for all HTML tables
267          - labels for all form input elements and some textual additions
268            to templates, such as '/' separators between navbar items,
269            because the guidelines specify links should not only be
270            separated by whitespace. If you don't want these to appear,
271            put the following in your stylesheet and they'll be hidden by
272            CSS (but will still appear for people using textual browsers or
273            screen readers): ".hidden { display: none }".
274          - the "lang" element (a two-letter code identifying the language
275            you're writing pages in) will now be added to the <html> tag on
276            all pages; a new question has been added to the configuration
277            script to ask for it and it will be stored in wiki.conf.
278            ***         YOU WILL NEED TO RUN BUILD.PL AGAIN.          ***
279            *** Remember to keep a backup copy of your old wiki.conf! ***   
280
281        Improved navigation for search results (next and previous n hits).
282          Removed underscores from page names in search results.
283
284        Overhauled RDF output. Changes:
285          - everything is no longer classified as a restaurant(!)
286          - empty tags are no longer generated
287          - show categories, locales and OS x/y coords in invididual
288            node RDF view
289          - switch to W3C contact namespace for addressing data
290          - move homepage tag out of wiki metadata
291          - remove nonexistent "gs:" namespace from category indices
292          - logical structure improvements (subjects of pages are now
293            identified as spatial things if they are, or are RDF
294            descriptions if they're not, instead of being anonymous
295            FOAF topics)
296          - include city and country in RDF only for spatial things.
297
298        Fixed bug that prevented automatic database initialization on
299          SQLite databases.
300
301        Doc fix for private installations.
302
303        Removed the following characters from the list of forbidden ones in
304          node names in newpage.cgi (a restriction which dates from all the way
305          back when we were using UseModWiki): " ! $ ^ ~ @ [ ] { }
306
307        Removed newlines from output of search box macro.
308
309        Reimplemented diffing using CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Diff as it seems the
310          change in 0.30 got lost. Removed OpenGuides::Diff.pm as we should not
311          be distributing it.
312
3130.30    29 December 2003
314        Added method to allow admins to delete nodes.  You will need to
315          explicitly enable this option in your wiki.conf, since it brings
316          with it the risk of accidental data loss.
317
318        Major overhaul of templates - added numerous style hooks.  See
319          examples/ for two stylesheet designs that take advantage of these.
320          Added new banner template for page headers. Also ensured presence
321          of navigation bar is consistent.
322          *** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: *** The navbar class in the stylesheet
323          has been renamed to, unsurprisingly, "navbar", for consistency
324          (from "toolbar"). *** YOU WILL NEED TO REWRITE YOUR STYLESHEET. ***
325          You are advised to create a duplicate wiki.cgi that reads its data
326          from your database but its stylesheet and templates from the new
327          ones in order to test them *before* deploying them.
328
329        Added "FAQ", "How To Get Started" and "Wiki Etiquette" to the
330          navigation, under "Help" - these won't exist unless you create them
331          on your site, so at first the links serve as examples of
332          documentation you can provide.
333
334        Modified preferences.cgi so that all the help links in the navbar
335          can be hidden, not just the text formatting link.
336
337        Fixed some HTML validation bugs.
338
339        Added multiple install and pretty URL notes to INSTALL.
340
341        Removed pubcrawl stuff from distro for now - it doesn't really work.
342
343        Changed to use CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Diff instead of OpenGuides::Diff.
344
3450.29    8 November 2003
346        Expanded section in TROUBLESHOOTING about permissions problems.
347
348        Diff.pm now absorbs trailing punctuation and spaces into words
349          it is diffing (to give less blocky results).
350
351        SuperSearch.pm change NOT to use '-' instead of '!'.
352
3530.28    1 November 2003
354        Allow running sites on SQLite databases.
355
356        Fixed bug with navbar prompt in Build.PL (CPAN RT #3894).
357        Junked OpenGuides::Config completely to avoid database password
358          leakage, and easier install (CPAN RT #3916).
359
3600.27    1 November 2003
361        Fixed bug with category/locale indexing - no longer case-sensitive.
362
363        Fixed bug that had the supersearch results page offering an edit link.
364
365        Revamp of search syntax to make the SuperSearch UI much more like
366        Google and Alta Vista. See the POD of SuperSearch.pm for details.
367
3680.26    9 October 2003
369        Modified TROUBLESHOOTING to reflect the correct invocation for
370          Module::Build to install into a private directory.
371
372        Show IP address for anonymous edits.
373
374        Changed CGI.pm version dependency for Dom (CPAN bug #3895).
375
376        Added check to OpenGuides::SuperSearch to stop it trying to
377          retrieve a nonexistent node when the search indexes have screwed up.
378
3790.25    23 September 2003
380        Applied recent changes fix to front page feed as well.
381
382        Search box now searches categories and locales as well as title and
383          body - so for example a search on "holborn & pubs" will DTRT.
384
385        NOT and phrase search tests were passing even though they shouldn't
386          have been - skip them for now.
387
3880.24    8 September 2003
389        Fix to recent changes so minor changes don't mask major ones.
390
391        Fixed supersearch.cgi to use a template instead of CGI.pm to avoid
392          weird errors, also turned it into a module and added tests.
393        Strip whitespace from OS co-ords before storing in database.
394
3950.23    4 August 2003
396        Removed the "POST_CHOMP" option as it was messing up textareas, added
397        a test to make sure this doesn't reoccur.
398
3990.22    4 August 2003
400        Fixed bug with usernames containing spaces in recent changes/userstats.
401
402        Try out create_makefile_pl => "passthrough" in Build.PL
403
404        Minor fixes to tests to make them work with newest UseMod formatter.
405
406        Prevented "Edit this page" from showing up on category indexes.
407
408        Set TT "POST_CHOMP" option to strip unnecessary newlines from HTML.
409
410        Fixed CPAN bug #3085 - quotes in change summary box.
411
412        Added openguides_version template variable and added it to page
413        footer (CPAN request 3110).
414
4150.21    17 July 2003
416        We no longer autogenerate a Makefile.PL, since it doesn't pick up
417        all the questions that need to be asked.  Sorry.  Use Module::Build
418        as detailed in INSTALL, since you won't be able to get the right
419        version of Text::WikiFormat installed without it in any case.
420
421        Added version number to CGI.pm prereq as Alex McLintock hit a
422        version that didn't have unescape.
423
424        Added a link on RecentChanges to the RSS version, and put an
425        autodiscovery tag for the RSS in the head section.
426
427        Changed diff feature to hide checksums, which aren't necessary for
428        the user to see. Fixed a minor bug in the node history template so
429        that the diff links compare the selected version against the previous
430        one, not the original one every time.
431
4320.20    10 July 2003
433        Fixed all the email addresses to openguides-dev@openguides.org.
434
4350.19    10 July 2003
436        Extra checks that script_url ends in a '/'.
437
438        Fixed small bug with edit conflict form - map link field was missing.
439
440        Moved "content" div in a couple of templates to fix incorrect nesting.
441
442        @INDEX_LINK macros now have optional title text like so:
443          @INDEX_LINK [[Category Pubs|Pubs]]
444
445        Added preferences option for including or excluding text formatting
446        rules link in navbar.  Enable this by setting text_formatting_node
447        in your config file.
448
449        Added config option for including the navbar on the home page.
450
451        Implemented minor edits.
452

454
4550.18    16 June 2003
456        Added a Makefile.PL as well as a Build.PL, for CPAN.pm users.
457
4580.17    15 June 2003
459        Fixed OpenGuides::Utils to take note of dbhost.
460 
461        Added example stylesheet provided by the OxfordGuide team.
462
4630.16    26 May 2003
464        Ivor fixed OpenGuides::Diff to diff by word instead of by character.
465
466        Fixed edit conflict up so it works nicely when you click the
467        Save button as well as the Preview one.
468
469        Added preferences option of displaying lat/long as deg-min-sec
470        instead of decimal (requested by James).
471
4720.15    18 May 2003
473        Added Algorithm::Diff version dependency to prereqs, fixed bug
474        with preferences.cgi and blank script_name, fixed REDIRECT bug.
475
4760.14    17 May 2003
477        Added "Wanted Pages" link to navbar, thanks to Simon Cozens for
478        the idea.
479
480        Fixed many bugs noticed by Dominic Hargreaves and other Oxonians.
481        Many thanks to Dominic for making an Oxford OpenGuides install for
482        us to find bugs in.
483
4840.13    17 May 2003
485        Added some more stylesheet hooks.
486 
487        Tweaked OpenGuides::Diff to make it testable, added a start at tests.
488
489        Lat and long now stored to only 6dp instead of millions.
490
491        Added edit field for map link.
492
4930.12    14 May 2003
494        Added OpenGuides::CGI to manage cookies and things, used this to
495        do more code tidying.  Added edit box position option to preferences.
496
4970.11    14 May 2003
498        Added newpage.cgi for an easy way to create new pages.
499
500        Took loads of repeated code (for extracting and packaging metadata
501        variables) out of wiki.cgi into OpenGuides::Template.
502
5030.10    11 May 2003
504        Added OpenGuides::Diff to provide nice diff output between
505        node versions.
506
507        Added OpenGuides::Template to handle Template Toolkit stuff in a
508        more testable and reusable way than just bunging it in wiki.cgi.
509
5100.09    10 May 2003
511        Added OpenGuides::UK::PubCrawl and pubcrawl.cgi as a start at a
512        pub crawl generator.
513
514        Added OpenGuides::Utils to make it easier to write little standalone
515        scripts like supersearch.cgi, pubcrawl. cgi, etc.  Made wiki.cgi and
516        supersearch.cgi use it, and lost loads of duplicated code in the
517        process, hurrah.
518
5190.08    3 May 2003
520        Added fuzzy matching capability -
521          action=index;index_type=fuzzy_title_match;index_value=hollborne
522        Someone needs to write a nice search box interface for this.
523
524        Fixed edit_conflict template and preview method to cope with stale
525        checksum - passes through all the metadata properly now and offers
526        a side by side comparison of what you input and what is stored.
527
528        RDF output for node is now encoding-agnostic (used to have UTF-8
529        hardcoded).  Also is now called as wiki.cgi?id=Node_Name;format=rdf
530
5310.07    3 May 2003
532        Require CGI::Wiki 0.32 to avoid bug (again a Bob find!) where
533        committing a node with metadata but no content would die.
534
535        Auto-created category/locale stub pages now added to Category Category
536        or Category Locales as appropriate.
537
538        Added a couple of extra allowed HTML tags to cater for existing
539        grubstreet data.
540
541        Fixed bug in OpenGuides::RDF - it used to die if called on a
542        nonexistent node, now it returns stuff with a wiki:version of 0.
543
5440.06    2 May 2003
545        Fixed supersearch.cgi so it works with MySQL as well as Postgres
546        (thanks again to Bob for finding the bug).
547
5480.05    2 May 2003
549        Redid the script and template installation so the script does
550        actually get called what you said it should be (code copied
551        somewhat from Siesta::Build).
552
553        Fixed the support for non-local databases/IDENT authentication.
554        I think.
555
556        Fixed the hardcoded 'wiki.cgi' in some of the templates (thanks Bob).
557
5580.04    29 April 2003
559        First public release.
