Symbolic links inside the DWiki page area now cause redirections if their value would be a valid redirection in a REDIRECT line.
For example: FrobTig, which is a symlink in /Aliases with the value
'../People'.
We could have tried using os.path.realpath() on the symlink and taking the result relative to the store root, but I think that that has more subtle explosive breakages.
Symbolic links that don't resolve to a real DWiki page this way are interpreted normally, so you can still have symlinks that point to files outside the DWiki pagestore root.
DWiki now supports 'virtual directories': directories that don't really exist but instead serve to limit what's shown for a real directory. For example, you can limit what's shown for a real directory to only the most recent 5 things, or to only things written on 2005/05/29.

DWiki's tables can now have rows that span multiple lines, using indentation to continue them on subsequent lines just like with lists. The appearance is straightforward; just write:
| start your table | another cell that is continued on another line | the end cell | | cell one | cell two | cell three |
A row is closed by having a ' |' at the end of a line, or just by
starting a new row.
DWiki now supports definition lists (<dl>, <dt>, <dd> in HTML). I started with what I think was Wikipedia's syntax but decided it was ugly in plain text so came up with my own that I like better.

DWiki now has a simple hierarchical way of handling access to pages
for various things (both access and commentability), so you can give
(or take away) permissions for things to entire directory trees at a
shot. We use a simple implementation where directories can have a
magic file called __access, which creates default permissions for
everything under them.
DWiki now has an extremely low-rent generic from-the-web search functionality. It's so low-rent I'm not sure I'm going to keep it, but we'll have to see.
