[Michael Olson]

I've released emacs-wiki 2.68.  This is mostly a bugfix release.  It
corresponds to patch-53.  A tarball is available at
http://www.mwolson.org/static/dist/emacs-wiki/emacs-wiki-2.68.tar.gz.

* Summary

   problem.

 - Apply Markus Hoenicka's backlink patch.

 - Remove use of `charset-short-name'.

 - Fix timing issue with current project.

 - New customizable variable `emacs-wiki-publish-url-coding-system'
   determines which coding system to use when escaping URLs.

 - Update Development section in the manual.

 - Change license of the manual to GPL with the permission of its
   authors.

 - Try to center small images nicely when inlining.

 - Use the "source" class for pre tags.

   something useful now.

* Next release and other news

I would like to get rid of the `emacs-wiki-home-page' variable and
replace all instances of it with `emacs-wiki-default-page'.  Ditto for
`emacs-wiki-home-project'.

I will make an option called `emacs-wiki-use-inline-css' which
determines whether emacs-wiki uses style="text-decoration: underline;"
or the u tag.  Using the u tag breaks XHTML compatibility to the best
of my knowledge, but those who use text-based web browsers primarily
might want it this way.

Another new option will be `emacs-wiki-use-spaced-singles' (or
something to that effect).  It determines whether we write

<img src="url" />

or

<img src="url">

The former is XHTML compliant (and can be parsed correctly by the vast
majority of browsers, even old ones), the latter is HTML compliant.

I'm using the experimental muse-blosxom.el code with pyblosxom to
handle my blog.  One consequence of this is that I can now offer RSS
feeds.  The reason I mention this is that I am mirroring all
project-related announcement to my projects feed at
http://www.mwolson.org/blog/projects/index.rss, and I figure that this
might be of interest to those who enjoy RSS aggregation.

I've put HTMLized versions of the emacs-wiki and Muse manuals up at
http://www.mwolson.org/static/doc.  I'm gradually making progress on
the latter.
