WackoWiki v6.3.0 — Major Feature Release

This release represents a massive architectural overhaul, bringing modern JavaScript tooling, a completely rewritten editor experience, hardened security defaults, and a flexible new syntax highlighter.

Headline Features

WikiEdit: Complete Rewrite (ES2023 + ES Modules)

The editor has been modularized into ES6 modules with a dedicated state management layer and a AbortController for all fetch calls.

| Feature | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| Autosave | Never lose drafts again; automatic background persistence. |
| Full Undo/Redo Stack | Deep history management across sessions. |
| Search & Replace | Full regex-supported find/replace inside the editor. |
| Live Preview | Real-time rendering as you type. |
| Syntax Highlighting | Code blocks highlighted inside the editor. |
| Fullscreen / Zen Mode | Distraction-free writing (widescreen centered). |
| Drag & Drop + Paste Images | Upload assets directly into the edit buffer. |
| Markdown ↔ Wacko Converter | Seamless format switching via toolbar. |
| Popup Forms | Guided modals for complex Links and Tables. |
| Toolbar Customization | Add/remove/reorder buttons via config. |
| Resizable Editor | Drag handle to adjust height. |

Dev Note: Complex legacy helpers (MarkUp, _LSum, _RSum, _TSum) have been refactored. Autocomplete selection bugs are fixed.

Security & Platform Hardening

• Content Security Policy (CSP) Nonces: All inline scripts now use strict nonces.
• Cookie Prefixes (RFC 6265bis): __Host- and __Secure- prefixes applied for session integrity.
• Native Clipboard API: Removed Clipboard.js dependency; uses modern navigator.clipboard with robust fallback.
• Fixed Invalid Selector Tokens: Patched potential broken "Copy to Clipboard" handlers.

Core Architecture & Routing

| Change | Impact |
| :--- | :--- |
| Virtual _ Handler Prefix | Handlers moved to page/_edit, page/_show, etc.
Fixes namespace collisions where user pages named Something/edit clashed with core handlers. |
| Composer vendor Folder | All external PHP libraries moved out of lib/ into vendor/ (managed via Composer). |
| Config Array Upgrade | Configuration updates now respect $wacko_config_defaults live, ignoring potentially stale cache. |
| TOC Generation Fix | $this->toc logic repaired for newly created pages. |

UI & Theming

• Dark Mode: First-class support with OS detection (prefers-color-scheme) and manual toggle.
• Double-Click Edit Comments: Rapid inline editing for comment sections.

Syntax & Markup Extensions

Phiki Highlighter (v2.2.0)

Replaces the legacy Pear highlighter. Fast, modern, supports 350+ languages via TextMate grammars.

Migration Required: Obsolete highlighters removed (css, ini, html, java, pascal, sql).
Action: Run the admin_replace action to auto-migrate:

%%(css)   →  %%(hl css)
%%(sql)   →  %%(hl sql)
... etc

Table Markup Improvements

New attribute system for rows, cells, and tables.

New Syntax:

!| col | col |!            # Header row with attributes
#|(attr=value)             # Row attributes

Supported Attributes:
| Attribute | Values | Scope |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| span | number | Cell/Colspan |
| side | top \| bottom | Header/Foot position |
| class | alternate, sticky, default[left\|center\|right...], colN[left\|right...], col-N[left\|right...] | Styling hooks |

CSS Selectors Added:

• .alternate — Zebra striping
• .sticky — Fixed header on scroll
• .default[left|center|right|top|middle|bottom] — Global cell alignment
• .colN[...] — Column N alignment (1–25)
• .col-N[...] — Column N from right alignment (1–9)

Helper Functions

• New table_attr() parser for the extended markup.
• Wrapper page now accepts col option.

Internationalization (i18n)

New complete translations added:

• 🇭🇷 Croatian (hr)
• 🇹🇭 Thai (th)
• 🇹🇷 Turkish (tr)
• 🇻🇳 Vietnamese (vi)

Dependency Updates

| Library | Version | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Phiki | 2.2.0 | New (Replaces Pear) |
| Legacy Highlighters | — | Removed |

Upgrade Guide

1. Run Composer: composer install --no-dev (populates vendor/).
2. Run Migrations: Execute the installer script.
3. Migrate Highlighters: Run the admin_replace action to convert %%(lang) → %%(hl lang).
4. Check Routes: If you have custom handlers or pages named edit, show, properties, etc., verify they resolve correctly under the new page/_* namespace.
5. Clear Cache: Delete cache/config/ and cache/template/ (or run admincache action).
6. Test CSP: Verify your web server passes the Content-Security-Policy header with nonces.
