Subject: [pmwiki-users] PmWiki 2.6.0 released
Message-ID: <84e1cc7c8b7df0e2ed7593f1d28b2d02@5ko.fr>

Hello. PmWiki version 2.6.0 was published today, and is available at:

   https://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-2.6.0.tgz
   https://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-2.6.0.zip
     svn://www.pmwiki.org/pmwiki/tags/latest

This version includes many improvements to the JavaScript helper 
libraries, to the core Syntax highlighting, to WikiStyles, to uploads, 
to page variables, to the keyboard shortcuts.

Audio and video files can now be played in a simple embedded media 
player (experimental). See the new page Media for instructions to enable 
it:

   https://www.pmwiki.org/Media

Attach: links will now strip #hash fragments when resolving filenames, 
unless the wiki has enabled locally the "#" character in uploaded 
filenames. In such a case some Media features may be unavailable.

A new variable $EnableHideAttachPrefix was added.

PmToken will now fail if the PHP installation is missing a secure random 
number generator. In this case, $EnablePmToken = 0; could be set, but 
there are certainly bigger problems and changing hosting providers 
should be considered.

New form inputs 'datetime-local' and 'pmdatetime' were added.

A new condition "grouphome" was added, true when the current page or a 
selected page is a group's homepage.

It is now possible to set default values to page text variables, include 
variables, template variables, in this format:

   {*$:VarName|default value if empty or unset}
   {$$templatevar|default}

The default value can be single line and cannot contain the braces {} 
characters.

See Cookbook:EditHelp for the current keyboard shortcuts and 
auto-brackets in the edit area.

For full list of changes see ChangeLog:

The documentation was updated.

Thanks,
Petko
