... is to settle these encoding issues
once and for all.
Let's override the accessor methods, which
seems to offer a simpler solution.
Now with tests (for whatever that helps)...
The default encoding in MySQL is latin1. Ruby 1.9
is a stickler about the encoding of a sequence of bytes.
In this case, a utf8 page name stored in the database comes
back as "ASCII-8BIT" (ie, binary). Coerce that back to utf8.
This doesn't affect SQLite3, and it doesn't affect Ruby 1.8.
It doesn't even affect MySQL databases with "utf8" encoding
(though that has other issues, since MySQL's utf8 support is
broken).
There are probably other, similar problems lurking.
Support Marhdown Extra's fenced code blocks. [From Jason Blevins]
Fortran syntax colouring. [From Jason Blevins]
Turn on Syntax colouring, by default.
Point to Michel Fortin's Markdown Extra page.
Move the truncate() method into ApplicationHelper.
Move another method around, for no particularly
good reason. Controllers really shouldn't have
public methods that don't correspond to actions.
Add a Source view. [Based on a suggestion by Andrew Stacey]
Fix a well-formedness bug in the list action, due to
boneheaded truncation algorithm. [Reported by Roby Bartels]
Omit a (seemingly superfluous)
javascript hack which causes
Gecko-based browsers to request
/my_wiki/s5/null
when they load an s5 slideshow.
Also a stylistic cleanup in
the wiki_controller.
itex2MML 1.3.16 add a \tooltip{}{} command which,
like \statusline{}{}, produces an <maction> element.
Neither of these is natively supported by Mozilla/Firefox.
Add some Javascript to work around that weakness.
When redirected to another page, flash
messages will not display if the query
string is longer than 10192 bytes. In
Instiki, certain rescue operations
involve redirection, with the updated
content of the page passed as a query
parameter. Fall back to using the stored
content (ie, don't pass a query parameter)
if the content is too long.
Implements \mathrlap{}, \mathllap{}, and \mathclap{}.
Deprecates the use of \rlap{} (use \mathrlap{}, instead:
the latter works in math-mode in the LaTeX export, whereas
TeX's \rlap{} did not).
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.
Should be to the published action. This
didn't work right for inter-web links.
(Reported by Mike Shulman)
Also, change some .length's to .size's
(for Andrew Stacey)
Web#files_path and Web#blatex_pngs_path now return Pathname objects.
Based on JHerdman's
5d1e8f420b
but requires several other changes to the code (which assumed a string).
Also, test for itex2MML 1.3.10 (you should update that too).
1. Ensure that "rollback" respects locked pages.
2. Expire revisions of an edited page. Use a before_save
hook to deal with the situation where a page's name
has been changed.
1) WEBrick should respond to TERM signals
(needed by MacOSX and, perhaps, others).
2) HTTP redirects for redirected pages should be 301's.
3) Add a flash message for redirection to "new" page
when the target of "show" action is not found.
Added the ability to rename existing pages.
[[!redirects Some Page Name]] redirects Wikilinks [[Some Page Name]] to
the current page (assuming "Some Page Name" does not exist).
Real pages trump redirects (though this may change, depending on
user feedback).
From Jason Blevins:
Create a "History" page for each wiki page.
Link to it, and to the "Diff" page from "Recently Revised".
Also, correct a bug in listing/deleting links to uploaded
video and audio files.
Add support, in the LaTeX export, for blackboard bold
digits and lowercase latin letters. If these are
present, LaTeX will
\usepackage{mathbbol}
N.B.: this uses the stmaryrd font for blackboard bold
letters, instead of the msbm font.
Tests included. (Yes, you need to update itex2MML as well.)
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.
A Maruku-syntax <div> with an unclosed IAL (and, it seems, at least one equation)
would cause Instiki to hang. Badly. Requiring a 'kill -9' to terminate it.
Reverting the OpenDiv and CloseDiv Regexps to my, more simple-minded, versions
fixes the problem.
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.
