Parallel editing of one page by multiple users is prevented by a locking mechanism. The difference engine is the same as the one used in MediaWiki. Revision control DokuWiki stores all versions of each wiki page, allowing the user to compare the current version with any older version. Additional plugins may have additional requirements.

#Mediawiki vs dokuwiki code#
įor many years, DokuWiki's source code was managed through the Darcs distributed version control system. The winning logo, designed by Esther Brunner, represents editing pages (by pens of different colors, i.e. The DokuWiki logo is the result of a design contest. The introduction of DokuWiki into the Debian and Gentoo Linux distributions in April and July 2005 respectively significantly increased the visibility of the software. Over the years additional plugin mechanisms followed which allowed 3rd-party developers to extend nearly all aspects of the wiki software. The new parser also prepared DokuWiki for the introduction of a generic plugin interface which simplified the development and maintenance of syntax-based plugins. The new parser and the introduction of a cache mechanism led to significant performance improvements, thus making DokuWiki usable for larger projects. The new design made use of the then-new object-oriented features of PHP4.
A big step forward in the development was the re-design of the parser and the renderer mechanisms based on contributions by Harry Fuecks in January 2005. Originally DokuWiki used a simple list of regular expressions to transform wiki syntax into HTML. In July the first official release was published on Freshmeat (now known as Freecode). DokuWiki was created by Andreas Gohr in June 2004.
