Previously, if the user tried to submit content which was
malformed utf-8, Instiki would complain loudly to him.
A slightly more user-friendly approach was suggested by
the latest Rails 2.3.4, and a conversation with Sam Ruby
(who suggested some improvements).
Now, instead of complaining, we remove the offending bytes,
leaving a well-formed utf-8 string, which we pretend is what
the user meant to submit.
This release upgrades Instiki to Rails 2.3.4, which
patches two security holes in Rails. See
http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2009/9/4/ruby-on-rails-2-3-4
There are also some new features, and the usual boatload
of bugfixes. See the CHANGELOG for details.
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!).
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
