6.2

(14.12.2025) 3ec586e^[link1] -> stable (Release Notes^[link2] | by release^[link3])

As work on WackoWiki 6.2 is still underway^[link4], this is an incomplete list of changes.

1. Features

add SQLite support

2. Configuration

2.1. secondary config

new
- reserved_namespaces
- tools_page

2. csp_custom.conf^[link6]
3. csp.conf^[link7]
4. permissions_policy.conf^[link8]
5. router.conf^[link9]

3. Core

rewrote SQL queries to work with MySQL as well as SQLite
register custom regexp function to use REGEXP with SQLite
fix missing route case for CSS files in RECOVERY_MODE

3.1. Classes

added
- DbSqlite

3.2. Methods

This is only a random selection.

Add functions to abstract SQL syntax and function differences between MySQL and SQLite

utc_dt()
date_sub(int $value, string $interval)
binary()
collate()
limit()

These functions reside in the Dbal class mainly because the DbPDO class serves SQLite as well MySQL.

3.3. Folders

new folder

file/data – .htaccess protected folder for SQLite database file (see DATA_DIR in constants.php).

It is strongly recommended to place the database file outside the webroot for security, but if you must place it within the webroot, use a filename like file/data/.ht.sqlite to help prevent direct access via the web server.

4. Database

setup/database/sqlite.php^[link10]

Database schema^[link11] changes

5. Installer

add SQLite table creation script
add _t() function for $lang[] array, uses now English as fallback for missing message sets
add system page with the whatsnew action and set it as default bookmark
add private system page with with the admincache and admin_recovery action and set it as bookmark for the admin
the installer sets now bookmarks for the admin account, therefore it no longer shows the default bookmarks for the admin in the menu by default
add mandatory installer password protection
- It is imperative to set the password for the installer in the config/lock_setup file.
- The password must be set, it won't accept an empty password.
- This requires the user to add a password before he can proceed with the installation or upgrade.
- The password in the file is in plain text and should not be the same as the recovery password.

6. Formatters

7. Actions

menu: fix not showing 'Set a bookmark' form in menu action
whatsnew:
- add filter for pages, comments and files
- show also edited comments in list
