Updated Release: WikiPlex 2.0 (Nov 17, 2010)

matthaw — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 22:48:05 GMT

Official Version: 2.0.0.259 | Official Release Notes

Breaking Changes from v1.x
1. All renderers have been moved into the namespace WikiPlex.Formatting.Renderers from WikiPlex.Formatting. This also includes the IRenderer interface.
2. The following interfaces have been removed: IMacroCompiler, IMacroParser, and IFormatter.
3. The classes MacroParser and MacroFormatter have been renamed to Parser and Formatter, respectively.
New Features
1. There is a new base Renderer class that encapsulates and simplifies common implementations.
2. Ordered and Unordered lists can now be interleaved.
  1. For example: level one can be Ordered items while level two can be Unordered items, etc.
  2. The macros OrderedListMacro and UnorderedListMacro have been merged into a single ListMacro.
  3. Intermixing of different list types on the same level is unsupported.
3. Images can now contain height and width parameters on the image resource.
  1. Similarly to other macros, they're specified as "http://foo.com/image.gif,height=220,width=380".
  2. You can use any unit type - ie Pixel, Percent, etc.
4. A new multi-line indentation macro was added with the syntax of :{ ... :} so that content that normally spanned multiple lines (tables, lists, etc) can be indented.
  1. The :{ and :} need to be placed on separate lines encapsulating the content.
  2. You can have N number of colons to indicate level of indentation.
  3. The number of starting and ending colons must match in order for the macro to be valid.
5. Headings can now be indented on a single line by simply specifying the indentation macro, ie ": ! Heading"
6. Two new overloads were added to IWikiEngine that accept an IEnumerable<IRenderer>. This is an exclusive list the engine will use to format, similarly to overload that takes macros.
7. The ScopeRendered event on Formatter now also includes RenderedContent.
8. The sample application now supports unicode characters as internal wiki page links.

Updated Release: WikiPlex 1.1 (Aug 05, 2009)

matthaw — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 07:08:47 GMT

Info: _Official Version: 1.1.0.149 | Full Release Notes

Mono Compatibility - The WikiPlex source has been tested against the 2.4.2.1 release of Mono running on Linux. The source cleanly compiles and runs the sample application (note: you do still have to setup your own database for this). The only remaining issues running the sample application on Mono are ASP.NET MVC / Mono bugs.
Scope Augmenters - Scope Augmenters allow changing the resulting scopes prior to rendering based on a macro mapping. Previously - the Table, Ordered List, and Unordered List scope augmentation were hard-coded into the MacroParser. With this release, you can now add your own augmenters to fully control the rendering of WikiPlex.
Syndicated Feeds - The entire WCF syndication API was removed in lieu of utilizing a simpler, customized syndication framework. The main reasons for this change included: Mono currently not supporting this API and supporting the odd Google Atom specification. Aside from these internal changes, the macro was expanded so that it now supports {rss:url=...}, {feed:url=...}, and {atom:url=...} matching. No matter which format you use, the renderer will still choose the appropriate syndication reader (ie, you can specify rss for an atom feed, and vice versa).
Sample Download - To be honest, I never opened the sample project from the .zip file, and so I never realized the state that it was in. Be it missing files, incorrect references, whatever - everything is fixed now! Along with that, several people have indicated that they didn't have SQL 2008 Express installed, so within the App_Data directory, there's a Wiki.sql file that you can execute on your local SQL server to create the sample tables/data (oh, and don't forget to change your connection string).
Invalid Syntax Highlight Code Blocks - Previously, if someone supplied a {code:xxx} block that didn't match any of the supported languages, their source code would not be formatted as code. In v1.1 this has been changed, as it'll fall back to the non-syntax highlighted display of the code if it cannot find the language.
Namespace Cleanup - This should only affect advanced users of the wiki engine. Below is a list of the changes:
1. ScopeName was moved from WikiPlex.Common to WikiPlex
2. IXmlDocumentReader and XmlDocumentReader were moved from WikiPlex.Common to WikiPlex.Syndication
