Feather Wiki Version 1.5

Releasing Feather Wiki on Itch.io is mainly to allow people using Feather Wiki to more easily receive notifications about changes and updates since I have previously only been making announcements via my social media channel. The official https:/feather.wiki website is still the best place to learn all about Feather Wiki and to get all the other versions, but I will try to post updates about releases here as well with the primary Wren version as a download.

Version 1.5.x

After doing a little bit of research and exploration of project forks, I discovered that my beloved Choo JavaScript framework had a fork that made my Feather Wiki dreams come true: nanochoo is Choo on a diet, cutting Choo's already tiny 4 kilobyte size in half! After massaging nanochoo into compatibility, I was able to get Feather Wiki's file size smaller than ever even while adding a new feature and some fixes!

This massive reduction in size (nearly 11 kilobytes) has made it silly to keep three separate builds for both the standard and server builds of Feather Wiki, so starting in version 1.5.0, there will only be 2 builds: Wren (the standard version) and Warbler (the server version). These 2 builds include both the WYSIWYG and Markdown editors like Dove did, but the Itch.io release only includes Wren. For the curious, here's an explanation of the names chosen from my social media.

Features

In addition to a reduced size and simpler choice of build, this new version provides:

• New bird names: What was once Dove is now Wren, and what once was Tern is now Warbler
• better ARIA accessibility (thanks, Flameborn!)
• the ability to add arbitrary HTML to your wiki's head so you can improve SEO or add icons or whatever you might want (#65)
• minor bug fixes for when switching editors
• New Extensions
  • Clone Page
    
  • Data Import/Export
  • Feather Search
  • fixes for the Full Search extension (#78)
  • Simple Navigation
