I've released the first (announced) developer version of Wiki::Toolkit. It's available from CPAN or

I've also released Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Usemod:

Other associated modules will be forthcoming, although some of them may be refactored first.

Help in testing this release would be greatly appreciated. I will release a testing version of OpenGuides that uses this new module before too long, but in the meantime independent tests (and tests by others using CGI::Wiki/Wiki::Toolkit would be most useful. In particular, we are very interested in the database schema upgrade functionality. At this stage you should consider this functionality unstable and prone to change and not suitable for use on production data but success/failure reports on copies of the database would be most appreciated.

Thanks to Nick for the bulk of the new code included in this release.

Here, for reference, is the full changelog from the last released version of CGI::Wiki:

0.69_02 27 April 2006 Add missing new file lib/Wiki/Toolkit/Setup/Database.pm to distribution.

0.69_01 23 April 2006 *** IMPORTANT NOTICE *** This release introduces a new database schema which should be considered beta in nature at this stage. It is not yet suitable for deployment on production data and should only be tested on copies of your production data. If it eats your data, you get to keep the pieces. Additionally, functionality exposed in this beta release is subject to change.

Rename to Wiki::Toolkit. Support for moderation on a per-node basis. Update to the database schema: added needs_moderation column to node, and moderated column to content You will need to run wiki-toolkit-setupdb to upgrade your database

Many more plugin points: pre_write + pre_retrieve (get to change the data), pre_moderate + post_moderate, pre_rename + post_rena me, + post_delete. See test 150 for examples, and the perldoc of Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin for a description.

Merge Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Multiple: 0.02 15 September 2004 Applied patch from Tom Insam to fix bug with find_internal_links.

0.01 22 September 2003 Initial release.

0.69 22 February 2006 Update to database schema: added an ID column to node, and changed the content + metadata tables to FK to the ID field, rather than the node name. Also added rails like schema_info table, to hold the current database schema version number You will need to run cgi-wiki-setupdb to upgrade your database

Cheers,

Dominic.
