ikiwiki/ news/ version 2.30

News for ikiwiki 2.30:

Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the spirit of a wiki compiler? Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds. Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users.

All wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system is showing its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed.

The "svnrepo" and "notify" fields in setup files are no longer used, and silently ignored. You may want to remove them from your setup file.
