[pmwiki-announce] PmWiki 2.5.0 released

[Petko Yotov]

Hello. PmWiki version 2.5.0 was published today, and is available at:

   https://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-2.5.0.tgz
   https://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-2.5.0.zip
     svn://www.pmwiki.org/pmwiki/tags/latest

This version is targeting PHP 7.0-8.4.

As PHP 8.4 made calculating password hashes much slower, the
pmcrypt() function has been refactored and new helper functions added
to improve loading speeds:
* $RehashedPassword has been removed, a new function rehash_password()
   can now be called by addons.
* $AllowPassword is now set to false instead of 'nopass'.
* It is recommended to not call pmcrypt('mypass') in local
   configuration but to calculate the hashes at pmwiki.php?action=crypt
   and store the hashes.
* See also [[PasswordsAdmin]] and [[Upgrades]].

New variables $LinkPageShortFmt and $LinkPageTooltip allow to configure
shortcuts for link texts and tooltip titles.

New variable $EnableMinorEditKeepMeta allows to configure the report of
the previous time and author if "This is a minor edit" is checked.

Added helper functions for addons, updated PmMultipartMail(),
HandleCustomAction().

The PmLib JavaScript library has a few improvements, and will now store
all local data in a single window.localStorage object.

The dark theme toggle icon will now be hidden if $EnableDarkThemeToggle
is zero.

The documentation, and sample-config.php, have been updated.

Thanks,
Petko
