PmWeekly, November 7, 2017

Update for PmWiki activity October 13 - November 7, 2017: internationalization, 1 new recipe, 18 recipes updated, discussions about cookbook recipes, bug reports and patches.

Subversion changes to the core

Change log. You can get the latest, yet unpublished PmWiki code from Subversion or download as a ZIP archive.

• The function HandleUpload() was refactored and the function UploadSetVars($pagename) was added to allow custom upload add-ons to set variables.

Documentation, Internationalization

The German documentation was updated. You can download it here.

Discussions (please comment, vote):

On the mailing list:

• A thread about bug-hunting with the Toggle recipe.
• A thread about adding ways to customize the attachment list (like PageLists, see PITS:01424).

On talk pages:

• Questions: probably an incomplete upgrade made some lowercase links like [[main/test]] to break. Upgrading to the latest version did fix the problem.
• AuthUser-Talk: Example setting for wikifarm with specific needs.
• Skins-Talk: Some broken external links were fixed.
