Hello. PmWiki version 2.5.5 was published today, and is available at:

   https://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-2.5.5.tgz
   https://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/pmwiki-2.5.5.zip
     svn://www.pmwiki.org/pmwiki/tags/latest

This release includes updates for recent PHP versions.

New markup !!#id Heading allows to define id attributes of headings or 
page sections. These can be referenced in links to the heading, and it 
is possible to include page sections based on these identifiers, similar 
to [[#anchor]]. Before or after upgrading to 2.5.5, you may want to 
search your wiki for "!#" in case there are matches on your pages, and 
if needed, insert a space before the "#" characters.

Improvements to Forms features. The edit form with 
$EnableMergeLastMinorEdit, checking the "Minor edit" checkbox will 
pre-fill the change summary field with the previous summary. It is now 
possible to define custom attributes to the options of a "select" field. 
The Not-Saved-Warning feature is now available to custom forms with the 
attribute (:input form data-confirmunload=1:); if such form has changes, 
and the user tries to leave the page without saving the changes, the 
browser will ask for confirmation.

Improvements to the core JavaScript utilities and the PmLib library. 
Optimizations for PmSyntax for long or complex texts. Sortable tables 
will show the arrows to the left if the header cell is right-aligned. It 
is now possible to Shift+click to check or uncheck multiple checkboxes. 
Table of contents will show a tooltip to the back-to-contents link, and 
will no longer number a single heading.

Core styles defined in $HTMLStylesFmt are already in 
pub/lib/pmwiki-core.css, now the duplicates have been removed from the 
scripts. This makes it easier to redefine them by skins and local 
styles, and is a step toward a stricter Content-Security-Policy.

The dark theme now has slightly darker backgrounds to the "simpletable" 
tables.

A new markup (:dropzone uploadpage=Group.Name:) allows to include an 
area where editors can drop files for upload, without opening the page 
for editing or uploading. Multiple zones in a page could upload files to 
different pages or groups.

Url approvals have a new confirmation page to preview all pending sites 
and links in the current page, extracted for easier review, checkboxes 
to selectively approve them, and the full page shown below with the 
pending links highlighted.

A bug was fixed with Notify and the tz= attribute which could affect 
later recipients, and another with RecipeCheck when the hosting has 
disabled remote retrieval.

The documentation was updated.

Thanks,
Petko
