Kawachan 6.4 (December 31, 2013)

• Internal change: Migrated from SVN to Git.
• Fix: Added correct CSS/images for editing galleries when using dark themes. (1b19b43)
• Fix: Fixed various images that were broken when the wiki was not installed at the root path of its domain. (77164e6)
• Fix: Fixed some possible errors in :AddFile being displayed incorrectly. (9453024, 534d505, 169b5ee, 0fb7c6f)
• Fix: Fixed CSS for external links so they no longer disappear or do other weird things when you hover over them. (ea88ec3, 389e4ba)
• Fix: Embedded boxes are no longer clamped to the width of their content, so tall-and-thin images no longer cause ugly wrapping of their captions. (f7f3c74)
• Change: Rename #img to #embed and remove #audio. File description pages, gallery pages and #embed and #box are now also capable of displaying <audio> tags for audio files. The old bandwidth limiting system for audio files is now extended to cover all files stored in the wiki. (6cc0520, 6499654, 9220222, 94766de, c76fdc8)
• Feature: Added :DeepPages to list all pages on the wiki with the highest ontological depth first. (af13277)
• Feature: Made the Random link in the navbar (alt-shift-x) go to another resource of the type you're already viewing. By default, it goes to a random article as before, but it can now go to a random file or box if you're already viewing one. (bd1ab27, acbc9ce)
• Feature: Added a new user preference to display files on the right of their description pages instead of inline. (8493a16)
• Feature: Made :AddFile allow transferring files via HTTPS. (9340b73)
• Feature: Added two "special" boxes to :Gallery which list all unboxed and unused files on the wiki. (1a77dad, 1ef9ccf, 2ae8bec, be79c2e, f252a1a)
• Feature: Added client-side JavaScript to navigate between different files in a box embedded in a page. If JavaScript is turned off, it will fall back to the existing server-side navigation. (eb93f8d)
• Feature: Added a JavaScript-based uploader to allow arbitrarily large file uploads and show progress to the user. The previous file size limit was ~2MB; now it is limited only by the available disk space. (5396616, 98d4c21, 4a3623c)
• Feature: Major updates to the file storage system. It now tracks full history of file actions, including uploads, adding sources, releasing under licenses, deleting and replacing one file with another. In addition, when files are replaced, any references to the old file automatically redirect to the new file and are listed as links to the new file on its description page. (f3fde2e, e9d0039, 222ba52, d7430a4, e0b1c2c, a7e59d0, d5b954b, c51e319, 6e739cd, 5e0d7cd, ff4af17, 0333677, bc02e95, 885b95c, 39da1d9, e443dce, 2bc9b84, 974e2a4, 5981871, aef77d2)

• Fix: WGK page vars now get correctly reset for each page during a Special:Import.
• Fix: Amended a misleading error message where #img was complaining about a bad box when it really meant a bad hash.

• Feature: Registrations are now supported on an invite-only basis.

Kawachan 6.2.1 (May 1, 2011)

• Change: Pull division navboxes out of main page content, and improve their styling.

Kawachan 6.2 (April 6, 2011)

• Feature: Added ExPar [#video] command.

Kawachan 6.1 (February 19, 2011)

• Fix: Avoided division by zero in :Statistics module.
• Fix: Disable :BestPages module when page quality ratings are disabled.
• Fix: Minor bugfix in setting user's ads limit.
• Fix: Factored out the root path into a config setting, so the wiki doesn't have to be installed at /.
• Fix: Factored out namespaces into a config setting.
• Fix: Avoided a warning that appears when saving account settings with ads disabled.

• Feature: The width of the sidebar is now a user preference in :Account.
• Feature: Preferences code has been rewritten so it now uses a new extensible format, which upgrades seamlessly.

Kawachan 6 (February 18, 2011) (3rd Anniversary)

• Fix: Deleting a page now removes it from the lists of pages in its categories.
• Feature: "Pages in this category" lists are now sorted alphabetically and arranged in columns like :BestPages.
• Feature: Brand new :AddFile page, which should be much easier than before.
• Feature: Functionality for editing galleries (boxes) has been brought back and improved.
• Feature: Links to existing but empty pages are now colored gray.
• Feature: You can now choose how many columns to view link lists in. As usual, the option is in :Account.
• Feature: Divisions: organize pages from multiple categories together.

Kawachan 6pre3 (February 16, 2011)

• Fix: Infobox widget now works more securely and doesn't break everything in certain circumstances that manifested while adding the new file system.
• Feature: New file system!
  • Change: Files now use 26-character MD5-CF hashes instead of the old (and obsolete) 48-character TI hashes. They should be much more manageable now - not only are hashes shorter, but they also no longer include '-' or '_' characters, which undermined word selection.
  • Change: Files are no longer categorized directly onto pages; instead, they are categorized into "fileboxes", which can then be embedded in a page. As such, the gallery sidebar, which automatically picked up every file on the page, has been removed. To put a gallery in the sidebar, put the box code for it in an infobox.
  • Feature: ExPar commands [#box] and [#img] have been added to replace the gallery widget and the old hackish image embedding code.
  • Note: this update came out early because of the aforementioned important bugfix. As such, most features to do with files are still unavailable.

• Fix: HTML/URL escape codes no longer get inappropriately displayed in body text links
• Fix: Links to redirects link to the redirecting page again, not directly to the target page
• Fix: Corrected link counting in rating sidebar widget
• Fix: Pages including {{Template:Empty}} are no longer treated as articles by the Statistics page and the counter on the front page
• Feature: Rating sidebar widget now auto-detects Links and Categories qualities
• Feature: You can now categorize using pages which are redirects

Kawachan 6pre2 (February 10, 2011)

• Feature: Brand new ontology system, to replace MediaWiki's category system which has proved inadequate for so long.

Kawachan 6pre1 (February 3, 2011)

• Upgrade: MediaWiki upgraded to 1.16.2.
• Change: New ExPar syntax: <[ ... ]>. The original one hasn't been removed yet, but will be later. This replaces all Winter commands, such as #linkfarm, #db-parse and #audio. It has also obsoleted the {{DB parser}} template. You might notice that this was the syntax used for embedding images, which is one reason why image support has been temporarily removed.
• Removed: Winter extension removed, because it's freaking annoying.
• Removed: Files no longer work. A brand new gallery system is in development and file embedding will return with Kawachan 6.
