• • Better security with taint checking ( Perl -T option )

• • Fixed bug where an email address starting with a WikiName was rendered as an internal Wiki link instead of an email address, i.e. SomeWikiName@somewhere.test .

• • No more escaping for '%' percent characters. (Number of consecutive '%' entered and displayed is identical.)

• • Limit the number of revisions shown at the bottom of the topic. Example
    Topic TWikiHistory . { ..... Diffs r1.10 > r1.9 > r1.8 > r1.7 >... }
    Additional revisions can be selected by pressing the >... link.

01-Sep-1999 Release

• • Externalize copyright text at the bottom of every page into a web-specific webcopyright.inc file. This is to easily customize the copyright text.

• • Added meta tag so that robots index only /view/ of topics, not /edit/, /attach/ e.t.c. Tag <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX">

• • New variables %WIKIHOMEURL% (link when pressing the icon on the upper left corner) and %WIKITOOLNAME% (the name of the wiki tool TWiki ).

Revision r1.3 1998/11/10 01:34 by PeterThoeny

• • Fixed bug when viewing differences between topic revisions that include HTML table tags like <table>, <tr>, <td>.

1998 Releases

• • Signature is shown below the text area when editing a topic. Use this to easily copy & paste your signature into the text.

The TWiki.Know web uses this category table to set classification, platform and OS version.

• • Internal log of topic save actions to the file data/logYYYYMM.txt, where YYYYMM the year and month in numeric format is. Intended for auditing only, not accessible from the web.

• • WikiNotation allows also numbers after the AaA sequence, e.g. AaA1 is a valid WikiTopic? name, but not Aa1.

• • Added server side include of files. Syntax is %INCLUDE:"filename.ext"%

• • Support for quoted text with a '>' at the beginning of the line.

• • Added TWiki variables, enclosed in % signs %TOPIC% (Topic name), %WEB% (web name), %SCRIPTURL% (script URL), %DATE% (current date), %WIKIWEBMASTER% (Wiki webmaster address), %WIKIVERSION% (Wiki version), %USERNAME% (user name), %WIKIUSERNAME% (Wiki user name).

• • Topic WebChanges shows Wiki username instead of Intranet username, e.g. PeterThoeny instead of thoeny in case the Wiki username exists. Implementation Automatic lookup of Wiki username in topic TWikiUsers.

• • Topic index. (Technically speaking a simple '.*' search on topic names.)
