I have included an upgrade script to modify pre v0.3 files. It can be found in the install directory. This basically does a number of things

• mv from group/subgroup/h/homepage.xml --> group/subgroup/homepage.xml
• <![CDATA ]]> removed.
• '¶' replaced with n.
• Internal links with g: and sg: changed to new format.
• remove diff records.

I have tested the upgrade script using all manner of files, utf8, non-utf8, with/without cdata, etc... and can not find any problems. There are no guarantees that the file will look and act as it did, but it will be very close. The linking between pages will be fine.

 

The default file 'chunks' ($BufferSize) increased from 4k to 32k.

Hopefully, the final beta release for v0.3.0¹⁾.

 

Edit conflict has now been completed. In the event of a conflict (calculated using the time of the edit session, and the last modified time of the file), the differencies are presented, and three choices offered

• Force your version to save.
• Cancel the edit session.
• Go back to the edit screen

 

I tried running a few pages through the XHTML checker, and found a few issues. These have now been rectified, and all the pages I have tried have now passed.

 

Footnotes are a new edition in this release. They are added by enclosing the footnote text in double brackets. ie ((<footnote text>)) is translated as ²⁾.

 

Passwords are now checked through the crypt() function. Although this does not add to the overall process, it does mean that the password is un-readable in the custom.php files.

 

Page variables have been extended to allow other formatting rules to be part of the result, for example {{var new=%green%'''new'''%%}} 
:{$new}:page vars..... 


new

page vars.....

 

Two new page commands have been added. {{sectionedit}} and {{nosectionedit}}. These control the creation of the section edit buttons for the relevant header levels.

 

A slight oversight with table processing has been corrected. Table syntax on the first line of a page was being ignored.

 

And finally, an experimental form building engine has been added ( code/scripts/forms.php). This allows user based forms within the wiki.
