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
Some more tests from Clint Ruoho. The main branch of Instiki (and, I guess,
the old sanitizer) are vulnerable.
Also: under Ruby 1.8.x, CGI.unescapeHTML screws up horribly decoding NCRs
which represent high-bit ASCII characters. UTF-8 agrees with 7-bit ASCII,
but CGI.unescapeHTML doesn't seem to know that they disagree for i>127.
The new sanitizer seems to work well (cuts the time required
to produce the Instiki Atom feed in half). Our strategy is to
use HTML5lib for <nowiki> content, but to use the new sanitizer
for content that has been processed by Maruku (and hence is
well-formed).
The one broken unit test won't affect us (since it dealt with
very malformed HTML).
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.
