I've just released PmWiki 2.1.beta27, which has some feature improvements
and a couple of bugfixes. The latest release is available from:
http://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-2.1.beta27.tgz
http://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-2.1.beta27.zip
svn://pmwiki.org/pmwiki/tags/latest
Highlights of the release:
* The .linkindex has been eliminated, and is now replaced by a
more powerful ".pageindex" file. The page index contains not
only a cross-reference table of links, but terms that can be
used to speed up searches. This has been used to good effect
on pmwiki.org.
Site administrators may notice that searches and backlink requests
take noticeably longer than normal after installing this upgrade,
until the pageindex is completely built. However, once built there
should be a marked improvement in the speed of basic searches
and backlink requests.
* The (:pagelist:) directive now supports "order=group", which allows
pages to be sorted by group and some other criteria. For example,
"order=group,title" sorts pages by title within groups, while
"order=group,-time" will sort pages by modification time within groups.
* A couple of small improvements have been made to automatically
setting $AuthId (and $Author) once a visitor has logged in.
* A problem with (:include lines=...:) chopping off the last
line of input has been fixed.
* We've once again changed the handling of page links containing
query strings to be closer to what was done in beta25. Unlike
the beta26 release, links to non-existent pages will be treated
as normal page links if they contain an "?action=" argument in their
query component. (In beta26, the existence of any query component
would cause the link to be a normal page link.)
Comments, suggestions welcomed as always.
