I've noticed recently some examples of my PmWiki websites (running latest version) displaying a blank page instead of a history page, yet the history is there.

I also noticed on PmWiki the Site.AllRecentChanges page showed as blank, yet http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/ARCSNoLocalTimes and http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Site/AllRecentChanges seem to show fine.

I'm using Chrome, but also tested to (and got a blank page) for Opera, IE9, and Firefox.

Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening.

Indeed, I noticed your test a couple of days ago, and released a version
that fixes the bug which appeared on pmwiki.org, but you are running this
latest version and you still have the bug. :-(

Is there still a blank page on pmwiki.org?

Can you send me (offlist) your wiki.d file which appears as a blank page?

I'll tix this as soon as possible.

Do you have some recipe which handles the page history? It looks like
InlineDiff (I see on other pages). Does the problem appear if you disable
the InlineDiff recipe?

For some reason, some of the pmwiki/scripts files weren't uploaded
correctly, they were there but had zero length. Among them, phpdiff.php
which creates diff records and is also used in the highlighted diff output
(the internal one in PmWiki, not the recipe InlineDiff). So, PmWiki was not
saving the history of new edits, and couldn't display even older history.

When we updated the files, the problem was fixed.

my sincere thanks to Petko for looking at this, 
and apologies for raising an issue that was in some way caused by me.

No problem, I am really glad this wasn't caused by me :-) after the recent
problems with the core PageStore class, and the current htmlspecialchars()
on PHP 5.3/5.4.

If something else isn't working properly, don't hesitate to tell me --
other, less experienced users may have a similar problem, and if it is
fixable, we should do it asap.
