+News for ikiwiki 1.42:
+
+   The anonok setting in config files has been removed. To enable
+   httpauth support on your wiki, you should now enable the anonok plugin,
+   instead.
+   Third-party plugins that use pagespec\_match() should be updated to pass
+   the new third parameter (from) to that function. This is needed for the
+   new relative glob matching to work.

+   * Fix several more missing translations of Discussion.
+   * Fix for missing backlinks() in pagestats plugin.
+   * Add canedit hook, allowing arbitrary controls over when a page can be
+     edited.
+   * Move code forcing signing before edit to a new "signinedit" plugin, and
+     code checking for locked pages into a new "lockedit" plugin. Both are
+     enabled by default.
+   * Remove the anonok config setting. This is now implemented by a new
+     "anonok" plugin. Anyone with a wiki allowing anonymous edits should
+     change their configs to enable this new plugin.
+   * Add an opendiscussion plugin that allows anonymous users to edit
+     discussion pages, on a wiki that otherwise wouldn't allow it.
+   * Lots of CGI code reorg and cleanup.
+   * Avoid using lots of memory when copying large non-html files.
+     Yes, you can keep videos in the wiki..
+   * Add feedshow option to allow reducing the number of items included in
+     an rss or atom feed.
+   * Change based on a patch from Ethan to support relative matching in
+     PageSpecs, by using "./".
+   * pagespec\_match() has grown a new third parameter to support this.
+   * Add "reverse" option to inline to invert sort orders.
+   * Drop the BSD license for the templates and basewiki, and just allow them
+     to be used as close to public domain as possible.
+   * viewcvs is now viewvc (in Debian unstable), update everything to use the
+     new name.
+   * Fix a security hole that allowed a web user to edit images and other
+     non-page format files in the wiki. To exploit this, the file already had
+     to exist in the wiki, and the web user would need to somehow use the web
+     based editor to replace it with malicious content.
+     (Sorry Josh, this means you can't edit style.css directly anymore,
+     although I do appreciate your fixes, actually..)"""]]
