[Haskell-cafe] ANN: gitit 0.5

We are pleased to announce the latest release of Gitit, the multitalented distributed wiki written in Haskell. What's new in this release? * 'Gitit' is now something of a misnomer, as Gitit now makes use of the filestore library. The upshot is that Gitit can now work in Darcs repositories; if before you thought Gitit was cool but didn't like git, you now have no excuse! * Gitit has been optimized (thanks to the efforts of Gwern Branwen): - Pages are now gzipped whenever possible. - Expire headers are set so that CSS, images, and javascripts will be cached by the browser. - Those previously mentioned elements have been optimized for space, and rearranged in the generated pages for faster rendering. * A new configuration option allows reStructuredText to be used instead of markdown (thanks to a patch from Simon Michael). * Gitit now sports a 'Go' box. You can now either search through Search, or go to a specific page title via Go. * Search is smarter, and can also return page titles. * Revisions are better formatted: the author field now include the user's email as well. * Diffs are of much higher quality, thanks to filestore. * UTF8-related fixes. You can check out a running example at http://gitit.johnmacfarlane.net/. Or try it locally: cabal update cabal install -fhighlighting pandoc gitit gitit # note: this will create two subdirectories in the working directory # then browse to http://localhost:5001. The git repository for Gitit is at http://github.com/jgm/gitit/tree/master
