ANN: gitit 0.7 - new mercurial backend!
John MacFarlane
HackageDB.
There's a summary of changes below. The most notable one is support
for a mercurial-backed repository, made possible by John Lenz's
mercurial module in filestore.
The reason for the shift from 0.6.x to 0.7 is a change in the exports
of Network.Gitit.Config. Instead of exporting getConfigFromOpts, we
now do the option parsing in gitit.hs. Network.Gitit.Config now exports
getConfigFromFile, which should be much more useful to library
users. If you don't use getConfigFromOpts, you shouldn't have any
trouble with the upgrade.
Thanks to everyone who submitted bug reports or patches!

CHANGES in Version 0.7 released 20 Dec 2009
-------------------------------------------
* Updated cabal file to allow happstack 0.4.
* Added support for the new mercurial filestore backend.
(Depending on filestore >= 0.3.4.)
* Depend on xml >= 1.3.5. This fixes a bug in the display of
mathml. Previously the self-closed tags in matrices with empty
cells confused browsers and caused them to construct the
DOM incorrectly. The problem is fixed by using xml's new
ppcElement function to render the MathML without self-closed tags.
* Depend on pandoc >= 1.3.
* Properly handle UTF-8 in config files.
* Moved option parsing code from Config module to main program.
The Config module now exports getConfigFromFile instead of
getConfigFromOpts. This should be more useful for those using gitit as
a library.
* Use wikiTitle config field in default HTML title.
* Improved search results:
+ Highlight search terms in search results.
Partially resolves Issue #76.
+ Made search results message uniform when no results.
+ Search: don't match page name against empty patterns.
+ Allow search matches on subdirectory part of page name.
+ Search: catch error status from filestore search.
Filestore <= 0.3.3 does not properly handle the error status
returned by later versions of 'git grep' when no match is found.
The problem has been fixed in darcs filestore.
* CSS tweaks:
+ Removed base-min.css, folded necessary styles into screen.css.
+ Removed 'text-align: left' for th from CSS reset.
* Feed improvements:
+ Modified feed handling so that feeds validate.
+ Perform proper escaping in Feed.hs (thanks to gwern).
+ Don't reveal author email in feeds.
+ Sitewide feed is /_feed/ (with trailing slash).
+ Add "http://" to base-url config option if needed.
* Use + for spaces in URLs linking to wiki pages and folders.
* Updated plugins:
+ Updated Interwiki plugin (gwern).
+ Modified WebArchiver plugin to make Alexa requests (gwern).
