The modifications include, in no particular order:

support for Finnish characters (��) in links
freeform links with brackets
case-insensitivity of links
slightly improved rules for detecting the end of a URL
added HTML and URL quoting to some places where it was missing
some cleanup in the code source
a WantedPages macro
totally renewed the system for block level elements for more consistency and practicality
numbered lists
headings
more security checks on user-supplied parameters
an editable menu in the page template
slight improvements to the RecentChanges macro
merging changes with diff3 (to reduce edit conflicts)
ported on fs.py
redirect after editing (so that reload won't repost)
providing changes as an RSS feed

PikiPiki is (currently) a CGI script. To use it, do the following:

Drop piki.py somewhere it can be executed as a CGI script, which means most probably the cgi-bin of your web server. piki.py need not be so called; you can save it under any name.
Configure the parameters near the beginning of piki.py to suit your needs.
Create the data directories (their location is one of the configurable parameters so that they are writable by the HTTP daemon. This probably means something like the following:
```
$ mkdir /my/data/dir /my/data/dir/fs
$ chmod a+rwx /my/data/dir /my/data/dir/fs
```
Drop fs.py somewhere where it can be found by Python's import: for example, the same dir as where you put piki.py, or somewhere in Python's load path.
Point your browser at whatever name and place you saved piki.py in the web server and start making content.

This is thoroughly documented in my web diary's EditingTips, but because that's in Finnish, here is a short guide:

Block-level markup

Inline markup

That's all, folks.
