Foswiki Release 1.1.2 - 10 Nov 2010

Foswiki - The Free and Open Source Wiki

Foswiki is an enterprise collaboration and information sharing tool targeted for professional use in many types of organizations: from small businesses to multi-nationals, from one-product open source groups, to worldwide research networks.

Foswiki is a wiki: fundamentally, a website with editable web pages. It looks like a normal web site but it encourages contributions, edits, updates, questions, and answers from its users. It's a powerful way of enabling a community to communicate asynchronously using intranet and public internet websites. Foswiki is simple to learn and use. It aims to provide a transparent way for you to publish and exchange your ideas with others over the web and eliminates the one-webmaster syndrome of outdated intranet content.

Foswiki is a structured wiki with tools that enable users without programming skills to build powerful yet simple applications to process information and support workflows. Developers can extend the functionality of Foswiki with plugins.

Foswiki is the old TWiki project under a new name. Restrictions on the use of the TWiki brand resulted in many of its developers continuing the project under the new Foswiki name. Foswiki is backwards compatible with all content from older TWiki installations. Foswiki 1.1 ships with a TWikiCompatibilityPlugin, thus enabling most extensions made for TWiki to work under Foswiki. Since the start of the Foswiki project there have been several releases of TWiki, However there have been very few functionality changes, and the useful changes have all been tracked in Foswiki, so topics and wiki applications supported by TWiki should also work with Foswiki.

Foswiki is released under the GNU General Public License.

Important Changes since Foswiki 1.0.10

Foswiki 1.1 has many improvements that end users as well as administrators will appreciate. In addition Foswiki 1.1 comes with a lot of "under the hood" improvements to the core code, with the goal of making it easier to plug in work from other projects, such as jQuery, KinoSearch, Solr and others. Work has been made to improve the definition of internal APIs to allow other not-yet-written modules, such as store implementations, to plug in. Most of these modifications should be invisible to the end user and the admin, but are important to position Foswiki for the next generation of improvements. Here is a list of the most important enhancements in Foswiki 1.1.0

Adoption of the jQuery Javascript user interface framework

Since Foswiki 1.1, the industry-standard jQuery Javascript user interface framework has been more closely integrated; the existing JQueryPlugin is included into the core distribution. Reflecting the move to jQuery, the BehaviourContrib has been removed from the core distribution; it is still available for download from Foswiki.org. The default PatternSkin now depends on this jQuery framework.

Also added are the new ADDTOZONE and RENDERZONE macros that manage dependencies between Javascript modules, making use of this sophisticated toolset much easier. See Foswiki:Development.UpdatingExtensionsScriptZone on how to replace ADDTOHEAD usage.

New macros enabled by jQuery

• BUTTON{"text" ...} -- renders a nice button
• TABPANE{...}, ENDTABPANE, TAB{"text" ...}, ENDTAB -- tabpane widget
• JQICON{"name" ...} -- render an image
• JQICONPATH{"name"} -- render the urlpath to an image
• JQPLUGINS{"plugins" ... } -- display a summary of avaliable plugins
• JQREQUIRE{"plugin, plugin, ... "} -- enable a plugin on the current page
• JQTHEME{"name" ...} -- switch jQuery UI theme
• POPUPWINDOW{"topic" ...} -- opens a topic or url in a new window

See JQueryPlugin for details.

Powerful new QUERY macro

A number of new features have been added with the goal of improving support for wiki applications. These include the powerful new QUERY macro, which:

• supports formatted access to formfields and other meta-data in topics using the same syntax as is used in IF and SEARCH statements,
• gives access to all meta-data, including that added by extensions,
• supports reporting values using JSON and other standards, simplifying the retrieval of meta-data for REST applications,
• replaces the FORMFIELD macro for most applications.

Use of the "formfield" parameter to the META macro has been deprecated (it is still available, but use is discouraged and it will be removed at some point in the future).

Re-architecting of the SEARCH macro

To improve the speed, consistency and extendability of the most complex and important Macro, we've started to separate the generation of search results from the outputing of FormattedSearch. The most significant user facing improvements are speed and reliability changes - with many more unit tests written to ensure future compatibility.

FORMAT macro

The extraction of the FormattedSearch system has made it possible to provide a Macro that allows users to render a list of topics into any header, footer, format style, using the same formatting controls as used by SEARCH. This macro will be further enhanced in future Foswiki releases and will play an increaingly important role as it is extended to format other types of object lists.

WikiGroups have add & remove user interface

WikiGroups are now be edited using a much simpler HTML form.

For developers additional API's have been added to the Foswiki code to allow these Forms to also be used for non-Foswiki user and group backends.

With some configuration, Foswiki can also add users to groups on registration - either automatically, or allowing the users to select groups to join.

TinyMCEPlugin updates

TinyMCEPlugin has been updated to the latest 3.3 release from Moxiecode. Additionally, several improvements to the Foswiki integration have been made, such as:

• Smarter attach dialogue
• Background autosave feature has been enabled (saves to local browser storage at 3 minute intervals)
• New context (right-click) menu:
  • Set syntax highlighting classes on verbatim blocks
  • table rows/columns may be duplicated, cells merged/split
• Customisation via the TINYMCEPLUGIN_INIT preference has been improved. Read the upgrade advice if you are upgrading a Foswiki installation which uses a custom TINYMCEPLUGIN_INIT preference setting.

Testing configuration variables in %IF

Prior to 1.1, %IF could be used to test the value of any configuration variable (those defined in configure). This represented a security risk, so now only those variables listed in {AccessibleCFG} may be accessed this way. Note that {AccessibleCFG} also controls which variables are visible in %SEARCH{type="query" and the new QUERY macro.

"Copy topic" now copies attachments

The "Copy Topic" function in "More topic actions" now copies attachments as well as the topic text and form.

Tailoring of user registration made easier.

The topic UserRegistration? has been enhanced so it now determines whether a custom user registration page exists in Main, and includes it if it does; otherwise it includes DefaultUserRegistration.

This means that your tailored version in Main web will not be overwritten by future upgrades.

You can create a custom version of the UserRegistration form by first copying the topic DefaultUserRegistration to UserRegistration in Main web. This will ensure that your changes will remain intact next time you upgrade.

A couple of common fields are hidden from normal view to make the registration page as simple as possible. You can unhide those fields on the page by removing EXCLUDED_ from the INCLUDE tags).

Easy tailoring of reset/change password and change email forms

The topics ResetPassword and ChangePassword now only show the change forms when Foswiki is managing the passwords (the configure setting {PasswordManager} set to a manager that handles setting of passwords).

If the {PasswordManager} does not support password changing, the ChangePassword and ResetPassword topics will show a simple message. This message is defined iby the preference CHANGEPASSWORDDISABLEDMESSAGE in DefaultPreferences. You can redefine this setting by copying it to SitePreferences and change it to include a link to the password management website of your organisation.

ChangeEmailAddress will now guide the user to define the email address in the user topic when the PasswordManager does not handle hidden email addresses, so you should not need to tailor this topic any longer.

TMPL:DEFs may now access previous (overridden) TMPL:DEF

SkinTemplates authors are often limited by the fact that %TMPL:DEF{"something"}% statements override whatever DEF may have previously existed in the SKIN path. Now, when overriding these DEFs, SkinTemplates authors may access the previous definition using the new %TMPL:PREV% template token.

Logging of access failures

Configure and TemplateLogin now log authentication failures to the event logs:

• working/logs/configure.log
• working/logs/events.log

It is possible to monitor these logs with a product like fail2ban which will set firewall filters due to excessive failures.

configure user interface revamp

Also included in 1.1 is a major improvement to the configure user interface, that clarifies and simplifies setting configuration options.

Configure file system checks

The configuration tool bin/configure now performs extensive checks of file system permissions. The pub and data directories are checked to verify that all data files match the requested default permissions of 755 for directories and 644 for data files. Files with excess permissions are reported as a warning. Files with insufficient permissions are noted as an error.

Because of prior inconsistencies in the files distributed with Foswiki and TWiki core and extensions, migration of older Foswiki or TWiki installs may see excessive errors reported by configure. You are recommended to correct the file system permissions.

Newer modern icon set for Document Graphics

To celebrate our new look, project and momentum, Foswiki now has a new ICON set to update the one shipped for the last 10 years. Using the FamFamFam icon set, augmented with icons from other leading graphic artists.

Table Plugin has been improved

HTML formatting has been replaced by pure CSS rendering. You can however enable inline markup HTML, in addition to the CSS markup, by setting the new parameter inlinemarkup to "on". This is useful if your users often copy/paste content of topics containing tables into HTML formatted emails or Office documents.

Sorting has been improved so the plugin can now better handle mix of formats and even empty cells.

Notes for extension authors

API Enhancements

The following functions have been added to the Foswiki::Func API:

• copyAttachment

New parameters can be found on:

• saveTopic (ignorepermissions)

Deprecated handlers

The following handlers have been deprecated (i.e. they are still available, but should not be used in new code and will be removed in a future release, so if you have been used them, you need to modify your code).

The redirectCGIQueryHandler plugin handler has been deprecated (it is still available, but should not be used in new code and will be removed in a future release, so if you have been used it, you need to modify your code). This handler assumed a level of interaction with the CGI handling process that is dangerous if misused, and severely limits the flexibility and optimisations available to the core.

The beforeAttachmentSaveHandler and afterAttachmentSaveHandler plugin handlers have been deprecated in favour of the newly-added beforeUploadHandler and afterUploadHandler. The new handlers operate on streams, and are more efficient as well as more secure.

Deprecated handlers will continue to work as documented in 1.1 and for the immediate future, but will be removed in a future release. Extension authors are strongly recommended to implement the new handlers as soon as possible.

Deprecated Foswiki::Func functions

The readTopicText and saveTopicText functions have been deprecated. Use readTopic and saveTopic instead. Both readTopic and saveTopic have always been available in Foswiki (and its predecessor) and are a lot safer. Existing code can usually be modified to eliminate these deprecated functions without difficulty.

Note: readTopicText had implicit access control checks. The replacement method, readTopic does not, so calling code must call checkAccessPermission explicitly.

Refactored Foswiki::Store and new Foswiki::Meta functions

Access checking has been moved from Store up to the Meta and Func routines. This was done to improve perfomance of the Store backend and simplify implementation of different stores e.g. using databases.

Store was never part of the Foswiki or TWiki API. Extensions which violate this API and reference Store:: functions directly could potentially have access that was previously blocked by Foswiki and/or may require other changes to be compatible with Foswiki 1.1.

Extension authors should first try to use the Foswiki::Func API. This is the preferred API. Pay careful attention to whether or not each Func:: method verifies access control and use the Foswiki::Func::checkAccessPermission to verify access.

Foswiki::Meta should be used only if Foswiki::Func does not have a needed function. Note that Foswiki::Meta functions do not implicitly perform any access control checks. Callers of Foswiki::Meta= should first use the Foswiki::Meta::haveAccess function to verify access for the planned actions. This was done by design to reduce repetitive access control checks and improve performance.

Tainting

The Foswiki core now checks values used for web, topic and attachment names for 'taintedness' when FOSWIKI_ASSERTS are enabled. Tainted values are those that have been taken from user input (for example, from topic content or from form fields) without being validated. Such unchecked values are a large potential security hole, and the authors of plugins that manipulate topics or attachments need to check their plugins with Foswiki ASSERTs enabled. If you find a taint error, you can use the functions in Foswiki::Sandbox to validate them. For example, to validate a web name and a topic name, you would write:

$validWebName = Foswiki::Sandbox::untaint(
    $webName, \&Foswiki::Sandbox::validateWebName);
$validTopicName = Foswiki::Sandbox::untaint(
    $topicName, \&Foswiki::Sandbox::validateWebName);

If $webName is not a legal web name, then $webName will end up being undefined. Similarly for the topic name.

Note that values are only checked for taintedness when FOSWIKI_ASSERTS are enabled, so unless you run your Foswiki in this mode, you will never see the errors. To enable asserts, simply add the line:

$ENV{FOSWIKI_ASSERTS} = 1;

to your bin/LocalLib.cfg.
