This is a log of new features of note in DWiki.
DWiki can now generate RSS 2.0 format syndication feeds for recently changed pages. This is a terrible hack that should not exist but ChrisSiebenmann has to deal with a few things that don't accept Atom format feeds, only RSS 2.0 feeds. RSS 2.0 page feeds are just like Atom page feeds and all Atom page feed restrictions and configuration options apply to them too. They are not advertised anywhere (either in page tools or in feed autodiscovery); to get access to them you must specify the feed URL directly, using the view name '
rss2' (as in http://you.cim/dwiki/?rss2).See
dwiki/view-rss2.tmplandsyndication/rss2entry.tmplfor what RSS 2.0 elements are used and how.There is no RSS 2.0 feed for page comments.
(Because this is a hack, asking for the RSS 2.0 feed of VirtualDirs that are restricted such that they get redirections to the base directory, per AtomFeedsAndVirtualDirs, will get you a redirection to the Atom feed for that base directory. This is considered acceptable since people aren't supposed to be using those feeds anyways.)
DWiki can now restrict what sorts of VirtualDirs advertise AtomFeeds (both in SyndicationDiscovery and in the Atom toolbar) and/or provide them if they're requested by URL.
It turns out that when you have a fair amount of content in a DWiki your VirtualDirs and thus your AtomFeeds proliferate like over-active rabbits. Then SyndicationDiscovery kicks in so that anyone who looks at a virtual directory can discover its Atom feed and either start polling it or just crawl it. Once your DWiki gets big enough this becomes not really a good thing, as Chris has found out with his techblog.
