As we derive a lot of filenames from strings in UTF-8 encoded files, we
need to make sure that any filename that might might be set by a user –
including all the filenames containing a directory deriving from
$DataDir – are passed through utf8::encode. That is, every character
gets replaced with a sequence of one or more characters that represent
the individual bytes of the character and the UTF8 flag is turned off.
In other words, -d $DataDir might not work if $DataDir contains a UTF-8
encoded string. The solution is to use the following replacements:
-f $name IsFile($name)
-e $name IsFile($name)
-d $name IsDir($name)
(stat($name))[9] Modified($name)
-M $name $Now - Modified($name)
-z $name ZeroSize($name)
unlink $name Unlink($name)
mkdir $name CreateDir($name)
rmdir $name RemoveDir($name)
(Using IsFile for -e is probably not ideal?)
If you don’t, and Oddmuse gets used with Mojolicious, and you use the
Namespaces Extension, and a namespace contains non-ASCII characters such
as ä, ö, or ü, these characters will end up as part of $DataDir and
trigger the problem.
I also wonder whether we should be using some other Perl library.
sub ParseData is fully backwards compatible. If some module runs it in list
context, then it will get listified hash like previously. New code should
always run it in scalar context though (everything in our code base
was changed according to that).
sub GetTextRevision is not backwards compatible (don't let “wantarray” usage
to confuse you). Most modules do not touch that subroutine, so we are probably
fine (modules from our git repo that do use were changed accordingly).
“EncodePage(%$page)” looks wrong. It seems like we should change it to accept
hash ref.
The EN DASH is not really required in year ranges such as 2012–2015 when
we're talking about comments in source code that is probably being
displayed in a fixed font anyway. Changing back to an ordinary hypen
allows us to make a meaningful test for use utf8.
With commit deec99c353 @InitOptions can
no longer be set at load time. Setting it at load time also disables
translations unless they get loaded earlier. Thus, @MyInitVariables.
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.
