WikklyText 1.5.0 is out. This is somewhat of a cleanup release with a
reorganization of the caching architecture, parsing cleanups and XHTML
compliance fixes.

Major changes

* Caching is now done at the wikitext->XML layer, instead of
wikitext->HTML. This has several benefits including:
o Macros are now evaluated every time, instead of just the
first time the wikitext is parsed (no more need for the -cache tag;
you can safely remove it).
o Auto-links to unknown CamelWords or links like [[My new
word]] now work with caching turned on.
o Bottom line: You can safely turn caching back on for all
cases now.
* API Change: Keyword parameter plugin_dir changed to plugin_dirs
in several places to reflect the lower level semantics. Old keyword
still accepted for now.
* Can specify extra paths to look for plugins on wiki admin page.
This is convenient when you want to have several wikis yet keep your
plugins in a single location.
* Fix macro parsing for nested calls like <<aaa<<bbb
* Cleanups for XHTML conformance — now passes tests @ http://validator.w3.org/
in strict mode
* Links (both [[..]] and [img[..]]) can no longer have inner
markup. Allowing inner markup was occasionally useful but caused too
many problems with TiddlyWiki compatibility. Although this is a markup
change, it is compatible with TiddlyWiki so hopefully won't cause too
many problems. Please double-check your links after updating.
* Fixed CamelWord parsing so that abcDefGhi is not seen as
abc[[DefGhi]]
* rendercache entries now expire to keep cache from growing
indefinitely (parameters set through wiki admin page)
* Turn off browser caching of command responses
* [[/my/path]] will now make a file:/// link if /my/path is a
valid path
* Rendering time limit now configurable on admin page. Fixed bug
in time limit handling.
* Speedups in rendering for all store types; text stores benefit
the most from these changes.
