sub ParseData is fully backwards compatible. If some module runs it in list
context, then it will get listified hash like previously. New code should
always run it in scalar context though (everything in our code base
was changed according to that).
sub GetTextRevision is not backwards compatible (don't let “wantarray” usage
to confuse you). Most modules do not touch that subroutine, so we are probably
fine (modules from our git repo that do use were changed accordingly).
“EncodePage(%$page)” looks wrong. It seems like we should change it to accept
hash ref.
This option is never set and even it was set (in the old days it
indicated that the entire wiki was going to be exported as a single
file), then I don't see why that should prevent namespaces from
working.
There is no way to provide an encoding layer to directory names.
Therefore they need to be raw bytes and not characters. This becomes
apparent when creating namespaces containing non-ASCII characters.
The Debian installation uses ext3 and therefore raw bytes for
filenames unlike the HFS filesystem of Mac OSX.
Copyright years were updated. The maintenance output of for drafts was
cleaned up.
Replaced the $Id$ tags in $WikiDescription for all the modules and wiki.pl itself with a link to the source and an appropriate wiki page, if possible. This is shown in action=version and should help users figure out what another wiki has installed.
between intersites and namespaces.
(NamespacesInitVariables): Set it instead of a local variable.
(DoNamespacesList): Use it.
(NamespacesMenu): Add it to a menu.
the case of namespaces containing non-ASCII characters. This
should be legal, but lead to problems when generating links to
pages in such namespaces. The URL encoding of the non-ASCII
characters prevented the $InterSitePattern from matching. Instead
of using this regular expression, we now try and guess at the
string using URL constraints ([^/?&;=]+), URL decoding it, and
then checking the $InterSitePattern.
GetAuthorLink to make sure the author link is never considered
invalid using NewNamespaceValidId.
(NamespaceValidId): Deleted.
(NewNamespaceValidId): Fully featured replacement only used by
GetAuthorLink. $NamespaceSlashing remains unused.
$NamespaceRoot because it will be used below when redirecting. Not
setting it will cause redirection to the Main namespace to produce
a wrong edit link to the source page.
(NamespacesInitVariables): Get rid of various Init() calls because
they are all handled in ReInit(). Reset @IndexList so that
AllPagesList will actually do something.
