WikklyText 1.5.0 is released. This is somewhat of a cleanup release with a reorganization of the caching architecture, parsing cleanups and XHTML compliance fixes.

Major changes

• Caching is now done at the wikitext->XML layer, instead of wikitext->HTML. This has several benefits including:
  • Macros are now evaluated every time, instead of just the first time the wikitext is parsed (no more need for the -cache tag; you can safely remove it).
  • Auto-links to unknown CamelWords or links like [[My new word]] now work with caching turned on.
  • Bottom line: You can safely turn caching back on for all cases now.
• API Change: Keyword parameter plugin_dir changed to plugin_dirs in several places to reflect the lower level semantics. Old keyword still accepted for now.
• Can specify extra paths to look for plugins on wiki admin page. This is convenient when you want to have several wikis yet keep your plugins in a single location.
• Fix macro parsing for nested calls like <<aaa<<bbb
• Cleanups for XHTML conformance — now passes tests @ http://validator.w3.org/ in strict mode
• Links (both [[..]] and [img[..]]) can no longer have inner markup. Allowing inner markup was occasionally useful but caused too many problems with TiddlyWiki compatibility. Although this is a markup change, it is compatible with TiddlyWiki so hopefully won't cause too many problems. Please double-check your links after updating.
• Fixed CamelWord parsing so that abcDefGhi is not seen as abc[[DefGhi]]
• rendercache entries now expire to keep cache from growing indefinitely (parameters set through wiki admin page)
• Turn off browser caching of command responses
• [[/my/path]] will now make a file:/// link if /my/path is a valid path
• Rendering time limit now configurable on admin page. Fixed bug in time limit handling.
• Speedups in rendering for all store types; text stores benefit the most from these changes.
