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.
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.
