Emacs-wiki version 2.66 has been released. It is available at http://mwolson.org/static/dist/emacs-wiki/emacs-wiki-2.66.tar.gz and it corresponds with mwolson@member.fsf.org--2004/emacs-wiki--main--patch-84 in my Arch repository.

Some of the more notable changes include:

• Don't show warnings at publish-time when emacs-wiki-menu is not being used.
• Expand symbolic links when trying to figure out if a file is part of a directory in `emacs-wiki-directories'. Thanks to Pascal Quesseveur.
• Fix warnings that occur when using XEmacs to type a #title.
• Introduce the customization group `emacs-wiki-regexp' to allow alternatives for "[:space:]", "[:blank:]", etc. to be specified. This should increase support for languages other than English. Some work remains to be done in order for WikiWords using non-English characters to be used. Appropriate defaults should be detected most of the time. If there are times where this is not the case, please let me know.
• Fix nesting of parentheses that caused obscure problems to occur when customizing `emacs-wiki-recurse-directories'. Thanks to Wei-Hao Lin and Sacha Chua.
• Apply patch from Sacha that better supports input using japanese-egg.
• Publishing pages using XEmacs should be completely fixed at this point. The bug with leaving text uninterpreted between "lisp" tags should be squashed.
• The `emacs-wiki-escape-html-string' function should no longer throw an error when using XEmacs.
• Add trailing forward slash to end of "img" tag in one place. Thanks to 赵雷 (Zhao Lei).
• The weird character in the ".menuitem a:hover:before" definition in the default style sheet has been replaced.

I plan to do some hacking on emacs-wiki-journal in the next release. When major changes happen, I will be sure to notify the mailing list to gather comments.
