+ikiwiki 1.1 released with these changes:
+
+   * Rename inlinepage to depends, so that it can be used to refer to more
+     dependency relationships than just inlining. This will require a rebuild
+     on upgrade to this version.
+   * Move the rss link, put it in the blogpost form if there is one and at the
+     top if not. This is both nicer because easier to find, and it cleans up
+     the code which had used inlinepage as a flag for adding the link later.
+   * Allow the depends GlobList to be built up from multiple sources (such as
+     plugins) during a page render.
+   * Which means that more than one blog is now supported to appear on a
+     single page. (With some limitations, like only the last one getting an
+     rss file.)
+   * Added a plugin system.
+   * Added a pagecount plugin, enabled by default.
+   * Support PreProcessorDirectives with no parameters, ie "[[pagecount ]]".
+   * Fixed/optimised backlinks code, to avoid rebuilding pages to update
+     backlinks when the backlinks hadn't really changed.
+   * Moved inline page support, rss generation etc into the inline plugin,
+     enabled by default.
+   * Added brokenlinks plugin, not enabled by default, but rather handy.
+   * Fix several broken links in the doc wiki.
+   * Smarter behavior when creating a page and a page of the same name (but
+     different location) already exists.
+   * Add an orphans plugin for finding pages that nothing links to.
+   * Removed backlinks page, which it turns out nothing used.
+   * Split off an IkiWiki.pm out of ikiwiki and have all the other modules use
+     it, this will allow for adding a unit test suite.
+   * Add unit tests for several core functions, including globlist\_match,
+     dirname, basename, bestlink, linkify, pagetitle, titlepage.
+   * Smart globlist merging.
+   * Patch from Thomas Schwinge to switch from --svn to --rcs=svn, etc,
+     to pave the way for adding other RCS support. This also changes the
+     setup files, where before they had svn => 1 or svn => 0, now they have
+     rcs => "svn" or rcs => "".
+   * Add a debian/NEWS file with upgrade notes.
+   * Load whatever rcs module is specified, so new ones can be just dropped in
+     as plugins and work. (Well, in theory.)
+   * Add some basic docs about writing RCS modules.
+   * Broke search capability out into a plugin, removed the --hyperestraier
+     switch.
+   * Added smiley plugin, nicely controlled and documented by the smileys page.
+   * Copied in some smileys from Moin Moin.
+   * Allow links of the form [[some page|page]], with whitespace in the link
+     text.
+   * Removed --sanitize and --no-sanitize, replaced with --plugin htmlscrubber
+     and --disable-plugin htmlscrubber.
+   * Allow discussion links on pages to be turned off with --no-discussion.
+   * Add ikiwiki-mass-rebuild script, ripped out of the postinst.
+   * Add some new config items to the estseek.conf template, which are needed
+     by hyperestraier 1.2.3.
