Greetings @ekg!

I think it would be useful if you update your version of wikiq so that it is up-to-date with mine. This includes pulling in a bunch of changes I (and others) made to make wikiq work more effectively in ~2014.

Most importantly though, it includes a new README.md file that explain that this C++ codebase is no longer maintained and there is a new codebase that is maintained.

I've had trouble with students going off to use 'wikiq' and finding your version instead of the modern piece of software and they lost a day or two into it. In that sense, it would be helpful if your version also included a README.md file explaining the current situation.

Thanks!

The variables used to be called wp_namespace_* which was confusing
because the software is not only useful for Wikipedia and is not only
useful for matching namespaces.
All the code to check for patterns within diff are named regex,
regexes, etc. This is problematic because (a) we already have one more
place we can check for regex and (b) I'm about to about add code to look
for regex in abitrary revisions (/not/ diffs). This change "makes room"
for the next one.
It's already a single field.
It's really just nothing something most people will use it and it's
somewhat expensive to compute.
