[Sputnik-list] [ANN] Sputnik 8.07.21, Sputnik-Tickets 8.07.21, Versium-SQLite3 8.07.21

[Yuri Takhteyev]

Sputnik 8.07.21 is here.  See
http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/en/Installation for installation
instructions.

This is a bug fix release relative to 8.07.07 (two weeks ago), no
substantial new features.  (If you are in the pre-8.07.07 world, this
is a totally new version.)  One of the changes, is that sputnik is now
installed with --only-from, which means that all rocks except for
those that are automatically installed with Kepler come from the
Sputnik repository.  (My plan is to eventually do this for all rocks.)

If you already have a recent Sputnik installed (Earth = this summer),
then you can upgrade with

    ./bin/luarocks
--only-from=http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/rocks/earth/ install sputnik
8.07.21

(After you do this, you will likely need to delete all "system" nodes
- anything that starts with _, @, or "sputnik".)

I also released the first version of sputnik-tickets for Earth.  This
is basically the same thing as what we have at
http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/en/Tickets.  To install it, run

    ./bin/luarocks
--only-from=http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/rocks/earth/ install
sputnik-tickets

(Make sure to upgrade Sputnik first.)

Also, Jim's SQLite3 plugin for Versium is here as a rock for the first
time.  This plugin allows you to store Sputnik's data in an SQLite3
database.

    ./bin/luarocks
--only-from=http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/rocks/earth/ install
versium-sqlite3

then set two config parameters (in your sputnik.ws or sputnik.cgi)

    VERSIUM_PARAMS = { '/some/path/wiki-data.db' },
    VERSIUM_STORAGE_MODULE = "versium.sqlite3",

wiki-data.db file should not exist, but make sure your server has
permissions to create it.

(Versium-MySQL and Versium-SVN are coming shortly.  Older Versium-Git
still works with the new version.)
