Feather Wiki Version 1.6

I forgot to update the Itch.io download after the last 2 releases! How embarrassing! Feather Wiki has been upgraded all the way to 1.6.0 because after 1.5.3, many things were updated. Here's everything from the release notes.

Small Update: 1.5.3

This small update addressed issue #86 and ensures that headings that begin with numbers will be correctly jumped to.

Extension Updates

• The Full Search extension extension has been fixed! Thanks to @dixonge for reporting issue #85!
• New Toggle Menu extension so you can finally hide that main menu sidebar if you want!
• New Update Feather Wiki extension to make things easier if you have trouble upgrading the normal way!

This release also marks the addition of documentation for self-hosted "nests" now that there are 2 viable examples for server setups. If you're running your own server, the Caddy nest is a great option to get set up quickly, or if you have a traditional web host, the PHP nest should work great!

Social Account Announcement

This will likely be the last time I mention a new extension or even an extension fix in a release because the official Feather Wiki Updates fediverse account can be followed at the handle @FeatherWiki@floss.social! That means that if you have a Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, Nextcloud Social, or any other ActivityPub-based account, you can follow @FeatherWiki@floss.social for smaller non-release updates in addition to the bigger release ones! You can also send me Feather Wiki-related messages and questions and I'll reply or send me links to stuff you've made and I'll boost it!

If you're not interested in social media, then you can also get updates via RSS! The 3 latest posts are now also displayed on the Feather Wiki home page with links to the updates site. Otherwise, you can still get your normal release updates right here on Itch.io if you don't mind getting them late!

Big Update: 1.6.0

Now the one you've been waiting for. I kept finding more and more things to fix and improve, and some of the fixes caused bigger changes than I anticipated, so I decided I had to jump up a whole minor version to 1.6.0!

I'm just gonna list them all out because there's more than I expected:

• Markdown parser overhaul
  • The Markdown parser has been updated to fix some bugs (#89) that were in md.js and brings it further away from its origin (for the better).
  • You can now escape formatting characters with backslash.
  • You can auto links now work using <your.url.here>.
  • Checkboxes have been broken this whole time and are now fixed.
  • There's now a page for viewing and testing Markdown support at https://feather.wiki/?page=markdown_support (#90)
• Notifications no longer call a render event
  • This makes it so fields don't get cleared or reset if you started typing while a notification was on screen and gets cleared.
• You can now link to headings with internal links (#88)
  • Using internal links now allows you to link directly to a heading or other HTML anchor on the page from within Feather Wiki
• You can now link to internal wiki pages like Wiki Settings and All Pages using internal links
  • Using s or a as the slug of an internal link will now point to Wiki Settings and All Pages, respectively.
• Feather Wiki now does a better job remembering what the last editor used was
  • Now if you used Markdown to edit your page most recently, new pages will open with the Markdown editor.
• Your Feather Wiki file's path will no longer be included in the HTML
  • There had been some lingering places where the local path would be left in the HTML file after saving, but now they're gone for good and all links in the HTML use local references.
• Breadcrumb links on child-child pages now have the intended space between links
• Feather Wiki now only includes the table of contents as static HTML
  • (Unless you have "Include Static HTML" selected in the Wiki Settings)
  • Previously, the current page would be used as the static HTML when saving, which solves the mystery found in issue #79.

I hope Feather Wiki treats you well, and as usual, the Feather Wiki website has additional downloads and everything you need to know about Feather Wiki.

Finally, if you encounter any issues or have any feature requests, please report it on the issues page.
