(with 2.3.x, MoinMoin runs about 20-30% faster).
New features:
Configuration:
* config.default_lang lets you set a default language for users not
having specified language in their browser or UserPreferences
* "config.page_category_regex" defines what pages are categories
* replaced `config.page_template_ending` by a more flexible setting
named `config.page_template_regex`
* the same with config.page_form_regex (was: page_form_ending)
* "config.page_group_regex" defines what pages are group definitions
Currently groups are used for "user groups" (see ACLs) and "page
groups" (see AllSystemPagesGroup).
* robot exclusion from all pages except the standard view action,
via the config.ua_spiders regex (reduces server load)
* "maxdepth" argument for the TableOfContents macro
* config.title1, config.title2, config.page_footer1,
config.page_footer2 can now be callables and will be called with
the "request" object as a single argument (note that you should
accept any keyword arguments in order to be compatible to future
changes)
* "config.html_pagetitle" allows you to set a specific HTML page
title (if not set, it defaults to "config.sitename")
* navi_bar / quicklinks can now contain free-form links, i.e.
entries of the form "[url linktext]" just like in wiki pages
* if a quick link starts with '^', it opens in a new window; help
now opens in a new window also
* `config.smileys` for user-defined smileys (default: `{}`) - a dict
with the markup as the key and a tuple of width, height, border, image
name as the value).
* `config.hosts_deny` to forbid access based on IP address
* `config.mail_login` can be set to username and password separated by
a space, e.g. "username userpass", if you need to use SMTP AUTH
* `config.edit_locking` can be set to None (old behaviour, no
locking), 'warn <timeout mins>' (warn about concurrent edits, but
do not enforce anything), or 'lock <timeout mins>' (strict locking)
* optionally showing a license text on editor page, use:
config.page_license_enabled = 1
Optionally use these to customize what is shown there:
config.page_license_text = "... your text ..."
config.page_license_page = "MyLicensePage"
See the default values in MoinMoin/config.py for details and
override them in moin_config.py, if needed.
* `config.shared_intermap` can be a list of filenames (instead of a
single string)
* If you have added your own `SecurityPolicy`, the class interface for
that has changed (see `security.py`).
Authenticaton / Authorization:
* added ACL support, written by Gustavo Niemeyer of Conectiva and
Thomas Waldmann. See HelpOnAccessControlLists for more infos.
You should use MoinMoin/scripts/moin_usercheck.py before activating
ACLs or some users with bad or duplicate accounts might get into
trouble.
* A user account can be disabled using moin_usercheck.py or
UserPreferences page. Disabling, but keeping it is good for edit
history.
* changed security default: deletion only available to known users
* support for Basic authentication (Apache style: AUTH_TYPE="Basic",
REMOTE_USER="WikiUserName"). If authentication is there, user
will be in ACL class "Trusted".
* support for username / password login
The username / password login will ONLY work, if you define a
password. With an empty password, username / password login is not
allowed due to security reasons. Passwords are stored encrypted
(format similar to Apache SHA) and can also be entered in the
UserPreferences form in this format. When requesting login
information by email, the password is also sent in this encrypted
format (use copy&paste to fill it in the form).
...?action=userform?uid=<userid> is still possible, so if you have
bookmarks, they will still work). The input field for the ID was
dropped.
NOTE: using the userid for login purposes is DEPRECATED and might
be removed for better security soon.
* after logging in, you will get a cookie valid until midnight.
The next day, the cookie will expire and you will have to login
again. If you don't want this, you can check the "remember me
forever" option in UserPreferences.
* if the page file is read-only, you get a message (i.e. you can now
protect pages against changes if you're the wiki admin).
Note: you can do that easier using ACLs.
Markup / Macros / Actions:
* RandomQuote macro (and even parses Wiki markup now)
* `[[Navigation]]` macro for slides and subpage navigation
* [[ShowSmileys]] displays ALL smileys, including user-defined ones
* the Include macro has new parameters (from, to, sort, items) and
is able to include more than one page (via a regex pattern)
* `MailTo` macro for adding spam-safe email links to a page
* if a fancy link starts with '^' (i.e. if it has the form
"[^http:... ...]"), it's opened in a new window
* because of that, the NewWindow macro was removed from contrib
* "pragma section-numbers 2" only displays section numbers for
headings of level 2 and up (similarly for 3 to 6)
* ../SubPageOfParent links
User interface:
* new fancy diffs
* Page creation shows LikePages that already exist
* editor shows the current size of the page
* editor returns to including page when editing an included page
* Visual indication we're on the editor page (new CSS style)
* selection to add categories to a page in the editor (use preview
button to add more than one category)
* if user has a homepage, a backup of save/preview text is saved as
a subpage UsersHomePage/MoinEditorBackup
* added "revert" link to PageInfo view (which makes DeletePage more
safe in public wikis, since you can easily revive deleted pages
via revert)
* Selection for logged in users (i.e. no bots) to extend the listing
of recent changes beyond the default limits
* Activated display of context for backlinks search
* Subscriber list shown on page info
* LikePages shows similar pages (using difflib.get_close_matches)
* last edit action is stored into "last-edited" file, and
displayed in the page footer
* reciprocal footnote linking (definition refers back to reference)
* "Ex-/Include system pages" link for title index
Note: system/help pages algorithm is still mostly broken.
* list items set apart by empty lines are now also set apart
visually (by adding the CSS class "gap" to <li>)
* "save" check for security.Permissions
* Added Spanish, Croatian and Danish system texts
* Added flag icons for the languages supported in "i18n"
* updated help and system pages, more translations, see also
AllSystemPagesGroup
* there was quite some work done on wiki xmlrpc v1 and v2 - it
basically works now.
Tools and other changes:
* moin-dump: New option "--page"
* there are some scripts MoinMoin/scripts/* using wiki xmlrpc for
backup and wiki page copying applications
* Updated the XSLT parser to work with 4Suite 1.0a1
* more infos in cgi tracebacks
* UPDATE.html is a HTML version of MoinMaster:HelpOnUpdating
Unfinished or experimental features:
* user defined forms
* XML export of all data in the wiki
* RST parser (you need to install docutils to use this)
* SystemAdmin macro
Privacy fixes:
* do not use / display user's email address in public places

* Removed two cross-site scripting vulnerabilities reported by "office"

* Footnotes were not HTML escaped
* Numbered code displays are now in a table so that you can cut the
code w/o the numbers
