This is the roadmap for ikiwiki development.
1.0
Released 29 April 2006.
The 1.x series changed a great deal over the more than 50 releases in its lifetime. It is now in maintenance mode, only security issues or really bad bugs will be fixed in 1.x going forward.
2.0
- New improved URLs to pages via
usedirs
. - OpenID support, enabled by default.
- Plugin interface added, with some 60 plugins available, greatly expanding the capabilities of ikiwiki.
- Tags, atom feeds, and generally full-fledged blogging support.
- Fully working utf8.
- Optimisations, approximately 3.5 times as fast as version 1.0.
- Improved scalability to large numbers of pages.
- Improved scalable logo.
- Support for additional revision control systems besides svn: git, tla, mercurial.
- Some support for other markup languages than markdown: rst, textile.
- Unit test suite, with more than 300 tests.
Released 30 April 2007.
The 2.x series is expected to undergo continuing development for some time, adding improvements and new features, but avoiding changes that break backwards compatability.
3.0
Still in the early planning stages, version 3.0 will be an opportunity to make significant transitions.
- Default to using
prefix_directives
. - Default to using
aggregateinternal
.
future goals
- Improved html stylesheets and templates. (status: css market exists; it could always provide more stylesheets. No alternate templates yet, though.)
- More documentation in the basewiki, including documentation for all enabled plugins. Probably need some solution for conditional underlay files, too.
- Conversion support for existing other wikis. (Being worked on for MoinMoin and TWiki by Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp; support for other wikis should fit into the same framework.)
- TODO, bugs, soc, ...
