- WIKID 0.84, released 2002-10-23

  - New wikid-admin commands

        These are documented in the manual, the latter three under
        section "daemon control":

          wikid-admin create-config FILE
          wikid-admin -C CONFIG-FILE start
          wikid-admin -C CONFIG-FILE stop
          wikid-admin -C CONFIG-FILE status

        The manual now also has a cursory explanation of the "wref"
        markup item used when editing a page.

  - `recvfrom!' workaround

        In some versions of guile `recvfrom!' does not guarantee
        internal cache (scm_addr_buffer in libguile/socket.c)
        consistency.  The workaround (in wikid.cgi) is to call
        `getsockname' immediately prior to `recvfrom!'.  Casual
        testing shows no discernable performance impact.
