MoinMoin

The big new features of this release are a major GUI editor upgrade, many GUI editor related bugfixes, and a new "modernized" theme. It also has quite a few smaller features, bugfixes, and cleanups.

This release fixes the leakage of edit-log file handles (it leaked 1 file handle per request). If you run a persistent server process (everthing except CGI), please upgrade. There were also multiple fixes of less severe bugs, but no new features.

This release fixes one XSS security issue and quite a few (non-security) bugs, including storage, search, argument parsing, server, macro, action, parser, and authentication compatibility fixes. It adds a new 'cache' action for fast serving of rendered objects directly from the cache, and updates the 'caching' module with a file-like API.

A new notification and event framework was added,
featuring email and jabber notifications. The
authentication and session framework now uses
authenticator objects (instead of functions) and
now supports OpenID authentication. LDAP
authentication now supports LDAP server failover.
File attachment up/download performance and memory
consumption were improved. Xapian indexed search
was fixed and improved. Moin now offers much
better logging, heavily configurable for your
needs. The diff and AttachFile user interface was
improved. Many other small improvements and
bugfixes were made.

Xapian searching was fixed, and Xapian 1.0.0+ is
required. The dependency on PyStemmer was removed.
xmlrpc for some servers was fixed. A traceback in
filesys on Mac OS X was fixed. Footnotes with
commas were fixed. Subscript parsing was fixed.
Wikisync when remote has no interwiki name was
fixed. The mig scripts was fixed. The OpenID cache
is cleared when saving a user. recoverpass and
newaccount now refuse access unless MoinAuth is
enabled. Runtime errors caused by defective zip
files are caught. Zip member file filenames are
decoded from UTF-8, replacing invalid characters.
ACLs on system pages were improved. UPDATE.html
was added.
