* The last release accidentially installed ikiwiki as ikiwiki.pl, now fixed.
* Add --version. * Man page format fixups. * Add a %pagecase which maps lower-case page names to the actual case used in the filename. Use this in bestlinks calculation instead of forcing the link to lowercase. * Also use %pagecase in various other places that want to check if a page with a given name exists. * This means that links to pages with mixed case names will now work, even if the link is in some other case mixture, and mixed case pages should be fully supported throughout ikiwiki. * Recommend rebuilding wikis on upgrade to this version.

It's also possible to write a WikiLink that uses something other than the
page name as the link text. For example "\[[foo_bar|SandBox]]" links to the
SandBox page, but the link will appear like this: [[foo_bar|SandBox]]
