Another hotfix release was necessary to fix a security issue in handling the disableactions setting (register was not affected).
If you rely on that setting to restrict access to certain wiki features, upgrade to 2026-07-14b immediately!

#graphviz, #mermaid, #uml, … one plugin to rule them all.
New plugin to render diagrams from a plethora of formats via the fantastic kroki API.

From time to time someone suggests things that DokuWiki should do because WordPress does it that way. And I get it, from the outside both projects look similar. Both PHP, both about the same age and even a somewhat overlapping user group.
But really, Automatic (the company behind WordPress) has an annual revenue of half a billion USD. 1500 employees.
I'm just some dude.
We're not the same.

It's a wiki! Update it.

The #DokuWiki hotfix release published yesterday, fixes a bunch of small to medium security issues.
Some have been in the code for years, so pretty much all old released are affected.
If you held off updating, now is the time!

A lot of the work I do on DokuWiki and its plugins is only possible because I can work on it during my day job.
If you use DokuWiki at your company, the best way to support my work, is to join the CosmoCode Partner Program.
Talk to your boss about it.

The new release is getting closer. If you want to help out, try a development checkout and report back any issues. Current master is running fine at dokuwiki.org, so it should be pretty stable.

hmm. The GitHub API seems to return UTC dates only. Since I don't have any additional timezone info, that's the only date I can use.

Probably the biggest change to DokuWiki in two decades is coming: native Markdown support.

Thanks for everyone's patience. DokuWiki.org should be reachable again.
I did a short write up on how I implemented my own little "Are you human?" check in Apache here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/fighting-bots-145820472
More details on it's inner workings (as well as the source code) are available on https://github.com/splitbrain/botcheck

I am aware that dokuwiki.org is currently not reachable. The reason is, you guessed it, bots. This time they're coming from a bazillion different IPs (often end user ISPs) so I cannot simply block them.
I am working on a solution, it's nearly done, but it's also the weekend and I got to take a break now for social reasons. So deploying my solution will have to wait til tomorrow. Sorry.

Ten years ago, Sir Terry Pratchett died. But "A man’s not dead while his name is still spoken."
We carry his memory with each DokuWiki release being named after one of his many Discworld characters.
If you never read a book by him - now is a good time to do so!

Wait. It is 2024, right? I just realized that I missed DokuWiki's 20th birthday in June!

For nearly two decades, DokuWiki has been sponsored by the "AOE Media company".
Even though a modest yearly amount, the steady income helped offsetting server costs and other expenses.
Unfortunately they're refocusing and are no longer able to support. I am thankful to them and wish them all the best for the future.
If you want to support DokuWiki development and maintenance, check out the Patreon and Github links in this account's bio.

If you tried to access dokuwiki.org and were greeted by a 500 Server Error, this was because the server had exhausted the PHP FPM pool.
The problem seems to have been caused by a (excuse the technical term) fuckton of bots spidering the site like crazy.
At first I tried to isolate single bots (I think Facebook and Bytespider were among the worst) but in the end I found and deployed this project: https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker/tree/master and that helped.
