-ikiwiki 2.31 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[toggleable text="""
- * [ Joey Hess ]
-   * Revert preservation of input file modification times in output files,
-     since this leads to too many problems with web caching, especially with
-     inlined pages. Properly solving this would involve tracking every page
-     that contributes to a page's content and using the youngest of them all,
-     as well as special cases for things like the version plugin, and it's just
-     too complex to do.
-   * aggregate: Forking a child broke the one state that mattered: Forcing
-     the aggregating page to be rebuilt. Fix this.
-   * cgi hooks are now run before ikiwiki state is loaded.
-   * This allows locking the wiki before loading state, which avoids some
-     tricky locking code when saving a web edit.
-   * poll: This plugin turns out to have edited pages w/o doing any locking.
-     Oops. Convert it from a cgi to a sessioncgi hook, which will work
-     much better.
-   * recentchanges: Improve handling of links on the very static changes pages
-     by thunking to the CGI, which can redirect to the page, or allow it to be
-     created if it doesn't exist.
-   * recentchanges: Exipre all *.\_change pages, even if the directory
-     they're in has changed.
-   * aggregate: Lots of changes; aggregation can now run without locking the
-     wiki, and there is a separate aggregatelock to prevent multiple concurrent
-     aggregation runs.
-   * monotone changes by Brian May:
-     - On commits, replace "mtn sync" bidirectional with "mtn push" single
-       direction. No need to pull changes when doing a commit. mtn sync
-       is still called in rcs\_update.
-     - Support for viewing differences via patches using viewmtn.
-   * inline: When previewing, still call will\_render on rss/atom files,
-     just avoid actually writing the files. This is necessary because ikiwiki
-     saves state after a preview (in case it actually *did* write files),
-     and if will\_render isn't called its security checks will get upset
-     when the page is saved. Thanks to Edward Betts for his help tracking this
-     tricky bug down.
-   * inline: Add new `allowrss` and `allowatom` config options. These can be
-     used if you want a wiki that doesn't default to generating rss or atom
-     feeds, but that does allow them to be turned on for specific blogs.
-   * Don't die if running with --getctime and rcs\_getctime throws an error.
-     There are several cases (recentchanges files, aggregated files)
-     where some source files are not in revision control.
-   * Page templates can now use CTIME to show when the page was created.
- * [ Josh Triplett ]
-   * README.Debian: Mention user wikilists."""]]

+ikiwiki 2.41 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[toggleable text="""
+ * [ Adeodato Simó ]
+   * Preprocessor directives generated by the shortcut plugin accept a `desc`
+     parameter that overrides the anchor text provided at shortcut definition
+     time. (Closes: #[458126](http://bugs.debian.org/458126))
+ * [ martin f. krafft ]
+   * The meta plugin now allows for the robots tag to be specified without the
+     risk of it being scrubbed.
+   * Let meta.openid set X-XRDS-Location header
+   * Make makerepo set the Git merge remote.
+     branch.master.remote previously used to default to origin, which has
+     recently been changed; it now needs to be set explicitly, which this
+     patch does. Closes: #[470517](http://bugs.debian.org/470517)
+   * meta: Also generate openid2 headers.
+   * Handle SimpleXMLRPCDispatcher arg count change in python 2.5
+   * Provide XML-RPC proxy abstraction for Python plugins.
+ * [ Joey Hess ]
+   * Add recentchangesdiff plugin that adds diffs to the recentchanges feeds.
+   * rcs\_diff is a new function that rcs modules should implement.
+   * Implemented rcs\_diff for git, svn, and tla (tla version untested).
+     Mercurial and monotone still todo.
+   * Support Text::Markdown::markdown, which is the spelling used by
+     version 1.0.16 of Text::Markdown.
+   * Updated Spanish translation from Victor Moral.
+   * Fix example exclude regexp. Closes: #[469691](http://bugs.debian.org/469691)
+   * Remove locking code in git rcs\_commit. I'm not sure if this was ever
+     correct, and it's certianly not correct now, since the wiki is locked
+     before rcs\_commit is ever called, and should not be unlocked by
+     rcs\_commit either.
+   * monotone: Require version 0.38 or greater, and stop using the mtnmergerc
+     option. (Brian May)
+   * Use forcebaseurl to make page previews be displayed with the html base
+     set to the destination page. This avoids need for hacks to munge the urls
+     in preview mode, which fixes several bugs.
+   * Several destpage fixes in plugins.
+   * Use absolute url for feedurl when filling out the feed templates.
+     Closes: #[470530](http://bugs.debian.org/470530)
+   * Fix expiry of old recentchanges changeset pages.
+   * French translation update. Closes: #[471010](http://bugs.debian.org/471010)
+   * external: Fix support of XML::RPC::fault.
+   * htmltidy: Pass --markup yes, in case tidy's config file disabled it.
+   * external: Add getargv and setargv methods to allow access to ikiwiki's
+     @ARGV.
+   * Correct bug in encoding of %pagestate keys, fixes edittemplate.
+   * Detect invalid pagespecs and do not merge them in add\_depends,
+     as that can result in a broken merged pagespec that matches nothing.
+   * Record new pages in %pagesources temporarily when previewing so that
+     things that need to know the page source or type can query it from there.
+     Fixes previewing of tables when creating a new page.
+   * German translation update. Closes: #[471540](http://bugs.debian.org/471540)
+   * Time::Duration is no longer used, remove from docs and recommends.
+   * Store userinfo in network byte order for easy portability.
+     (Old files will be automatically converted.)
+   * Close meta tag for redir properly.
+   * smiley: Detect smileys inside pre and code tags, and do not expand.
+   * inline: Crazy optimisation to work around slow markdown.
+   * Precompile pagespecs, about 10% overall speedup.
+   * Changed to a binary index file, written using Storable, for speed.
+   * external: Work around XML RPC's lack of support for null by passing
+     a special sentinal value.
+   * inline: Allow the "feedshow" parameter to take values greater than the
+     value for "show".
+   * Added a hardlink option in the setup file, useful if the source and
+     dest are on the same filesystem and the wiki includes large media files,
+     which would normally be copied, wasting time and space."""]]
