+ikiwiki (3.01) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  If your wiki uses git, and you have a `diffurl` configured in
+  its setup file, you should be aware that gitweb has stopped
+  supporting the url form commonly used for the `diffurl`.
+
+  You can change your setup to use the newer gitweb url form:
+
+    http://git.example.com/gitweb.cgi?p=wiki.git;a=blobdiff;f=[[file]];h=[[sha1_to]];hp=[[sha1_from]];hb=[[sha1_commit]];hpb=[[sha1_parent]]
+
+  The changes from the old form are the addition of the `hpb` parameter,
+  and the change to the value used for the `hb` parameter.
