v0.12.1-beta1

I've recently reached a personal long time goal for this project: I'm now using it to replace Mediawiki for a personal wiki that I maintain that means a lot to me. During the migration process, naturally, I've uncovered a positively ridiculous number of bugs. This is the beta release for an emergency patch release (that's taken long enough to put together) that fixes most of these issues. The remaining issues have been filed and should have fixes soon.

Please note that there are a pair of critical security issues that have been fixed (#89 and #94) in this release. I highly advise that you update to this release (even though it's a beta release O.o) if you utilise the view protection feature of Pepperminty Wiki.

v0.12

It's been what, almost 3 months since the last release? Shockingly enough, I haven't actually given up on Pepperminty Wiki - and this release is proof of that! This is a medium sized release, with a bunch of behind-the scenes changes that prepare for something awesome later on down the line.

The most important change is that settings are now stored in peppermint.json, and not in the main index.php itself. This file will be created automatically on the first page load. You can then customise it from there. After this release, you should never need to manually insert settings on upgrade ever again - it should all happen automatically (although that part hasn't been written yet!)

Changes since v0.12-beta2

(This release is practically identical to v0.12-beta2.)

Changes since v0.12-beta1

Changed

• Changed the revision display text ("Revision created by..." -> "Revision saved by...")

Changes since v0.11

Added

• Page history! Currently you can't do anything with the previous revisions - that will come in a future release.
• Implemented delayed indexing (#66)
• Added the time a page was last modified to the footer (#67)
• Added unified diff to edit conflict resolution pages (#64)
• Added image captions (#65)
• Added short syntax for images (#24)

Changed

• Added text "Tag List: " to tag listing pages
• Added checkerboard pattern behind transparent images on mouse hover on their preview pages.

  • SVGs are sent as-is instead of a preview image unless $settings->render_svg_previews is set to true.
  • Added code to find the dimensions of an SVG.
• Reduced the amount of space that the login bit in the top left takes up.
• Changed the revision display text ("Revision created by..." -> "Revision saved by...")

Fixed

• Fixed a bug in the idindex generator.
• Fixed an issue where you wouldn't be redirected correctly if you typed your password incorrectly

v0.12-beta2

This should be the last beta version before v0.12 hits later today - it tidies up a few things and updates the readme ready for v0.12. Here's the changelog:

Changed

• Changed the revision display text ("Revision created by..." -> "Revision saved by...")

v0.12-beta1

Relax safe in the knowledge that I haven't abandoned this project! Since the last release, my second year finals and ACWs happened. Anyway, in between things I've been slowly plugging away at the next release, and now that I've finished my 2nd year at University up, I've found some time to bundle up the next prerelease.

This release is fairly small, but I've made a crucial change: settings are now stored in a JSON file, and not at the top of index.php. The settings JSON file (called peppermint.json, and can be found alongside index.php) will be automatically generated upon the first page load, and can be customised to your heart's content. The names and structure of the settings are much the same as they used to be - it's only the admindetails setting that's changed slightly in structure.

The idea here is that I'm going to build a GUI for the settings and include it in the next release. This should make upgrading much easier than it was before. This does mean however that upgrading is not going to be easy - you'll have to manually port all your settings over to the new system. Under the new system though, you should never need to hand-edit your settings again - non-existent settings should be filled in automatically (although I haven't written that bit yet...!).

v0.10.1

Apparently 2 beta releases didn't uncover a really nasty bug. This is an emergency patch for said bug.

v0.10

Version 0.10 is here! This is a large release with many bug fixes and improvements. It is also the first release to have beta releases made first. This is going to be a regular thing for now on, as I am finding it improves the quality of the actual release.

A couple of extra things have been fixed and changed since v0.10-beta2, the most notable of which is the addition of a license! This is to go along with the addition of Pepperminty Wiki to wikimatrix.org (page here). The license I have chosen is the Mozilla Public License 2.0, as I've used it several times before.

Noteable Changes

• Added a license
• Changed the default page parser to be parsedown (with a few extra bits of syntax sprinkled on top)
• Added templating
• Improved the all pages and tags pages
• Loads of small tweaks and improvements

Since v0.10-beta2

Added

• Added a license. Pepperminty Wiki is now licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

Fixed

• Corrected a minor error in the description of the page viewer module.
• Corrected a minor spelling mistake in the credits page.

• Changed the cursor when hovering over a time to indicate that the tooltip contains more information.
• Added icons to the "More..." menu
• Added help section to parsedown parser.
• Added more information to the dev help page.

Changed

• Improved appearance of the all pages list.
• Improved apparence of the tag list page.

• Optimised search queries a bit.
• Save preprocessors now get passed an extra parameter, which contains the old page source.
• Changed the default parser to parsedown.
• Removed parsedown from the parser-parsedown module and replaced it with code that automatically downloads parsedown and parsedown extra on the first run.
• Removed Slimdown addition from the parsedown parser and replaced it with a custom extension of parsedown extra.
• Moved printable button to bottom bar and changed display text to "Printable version".
• Redirect pages now show in italics in page lists.
