Using <object> and <embed> were forbidden for obvious
security reasons. Instiki now permits embedding video
via the HTML5 <video> element (Ogg/Theora encoded videos
only, with .ogg or .ogv extensions). You can even upload
videos with
[[foo.ogg:video]]
Instiki now support x-sendfile. See the Proxying page for
configuring Apache (with the x-sendfile module). Lighttpd
should work similarly.
Update Rails to latest Edge (hopefully converging on RC2!).
Dunno why this was buggered again. ":back" doesn't seem to function as it used to.
Also, when uploading a file from page "foo", it's important to return to "foo" after
a successful upload, rather than redirecting to the HomePage.
Finally, a favicon tweak.
Instiki now runs on the Rails 2.3.0 Candidate Release.
Among other improvements, this means that it now
automagically selects between WEBrick and Mongrel.
Just run
./instiki --daemon
On Webs with file uploads enabled, uploaded files were stored
(in version 0.16.1 and earlier) in the public/ directory.
This was a security threat. A miscreant could upload a .html file.
When a user clicked on the link to the file, it was opened (unsanitized)
in the browser.
As of version 0.16.2, uploaded files are stored in the webs/
directory. Now, when the user clicks on the link, the file is sent
with the
Content-Disposition: attachment
header set, which causes the file to be downloaded, rather than opened
in the browser. As always, files downloaded from the internets should be
treated with caution. At least, this way, they are not aoutomatically
opened in the browser.
To move your existing uploaded files to the new location, do a
rake upgrade_instiki
When a Web uses one of the Markdown Text Filters, and you export
all the pages as a zip file, you'd like the MathML and SVG to
render when the pages are viewed locally. This means saving them
with a .xhtml extension. Users of non-XHTML-capable browsers or
Textile users should still get .html files.
Make this version (minimally) usable with Textile Markup:
For Webs with "Textile", "RDoc" or "Mixed" markup option selected,
send text/html instead of application/xhtml+xml. This makes this
software minimally usable with those markup dialects.
"Markdown+itex2MML", "Markdown+BlahTeX/PNG" and "Markdown" should work
as before, sending application/xhtml+xml to capable browsers.
Bump the version number.
Deleting a page removes all revisions of that page.
Deleting a Web removes all pages (and all revisions thereof)
and all wiki_files belonging to that Web.
Be a little gentler in recovering from Instiki::ValidationErrors, when saving a page.
Previously, we threw away all the user's changes upon the redirect. Now we attempt
to salvage what he wrote.
Update dnsbl_check plugin to latest version.
Update Maruku to latest version.
In the wiki_controller, only apply the dnsbl_check before_filter
to the :edit, :new, and :save actions, instead of all actions.
This makes mundane "show" requests faster, but does not
compromise spam-fighting ability.
Fix Session CookieOverflow bug when rescuing an InstikiValidation error.
Fix some random things which will cause problems with Ruby 1.9. (Plenty
more where those came from.)
Implement amsthm-like Theorem environments with Maruku.
Support is based on Maruku "div"s with special class-names.
Classes
num_*
produce numbered environments, and
un_*
produce un-numbered environments, where * is one of
theorem (for Theorem)
lemma (for Lemma)
prop (for Proposition)
cor (for Corollary)
def (for Definition)
example (for Example)
remark (for Remark)
note (for Note)
In addition, the class
proof
produces a Proof environment.
The LaTeX export works as expected, and these also work in the S5 view.
Bumped version number.
Make session secret persist across restarts. (Been meaning to do this for
a while: no more "stale cookie" warnings fter restarting the server.
Avoid cookie overflow in session store.
IE7+MathPlayer do *not* like the charset parameter to be set in the
Content-Type header. Forcing Rails to omit that parameter is surprisingly
difficult.
Start work (which may not pan out) on a new sanitizer. Right now, it passes
all but 1 of the HTML5lib Sanitizer's unit tests. But it doesn't do much
of anything to ensure well-formedness. This is not an issue for Maruku-processed
content, but it is a concern for <nowiki> blocks.
(One solution would be to use the HTML5lib parser on <nowiki> blocks.)
In any case, this baby is 3 times as fast as the HTML5lib sanitizer.
Previously, used a regexp to find and convert named entities in the content.
Now use a more efficient algorithm.
Similar tweak for converting NCRs before checking whether text is valid utf-8.
