It only works for Python >= 2.0. * "bang_meta" config variable and "!NotWikiWord" markup * "url_mappings" config variable to dynamically change URL prefixes (especially useful in intranets, when whole trees of externally hosted documents move around) * setting "mail_smarthost" and "mail_from" activates mailing features (sending login data on the UserPreferences page) * very useful for intranet developer wikis, a means to view pydoc documentation, formatted via a XSLT stylesheet, for details see http://purl.net/wiki/python/TeudViewer?module=MoinMoin.macro.TeudView or MoinMoin/macro/TeudView.py * "LocalSiteMap" action by Steve Howell <showellzipcon.com> * Added FOLDOC to intermap.txtBugfixes: * Full config defaults, import MoinMoin now works w/o moin_config.py * Better control over permissions with config.umask * Bugfix for a UNIX time billenium bug (affecting RecentChanges sorting and page diffs) * data paths with directory names containing dots caused problems-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
