+News for ikiwiki 1.51:
+
+   Some wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version, due to changes to
+   page layout and the style sheet. If you listed your wiki in
+   /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the Debian
+   package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.

+ikiwiki 1.51 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]

+ * [ Joey Hess ]
+   * Support setting svnpath to "" for wikis that are rooted at the top of
+     their svn repositories, with no trunk directory.
+   * Minor template improvements by Alessandro.
+   * In mercurial backend, untaint ipaddr when using it as the user for the
+     commit. Thanks, Alexander Wirt. Closes: #[420428](http://bugs.debian.org/420428)
+   * Fix aggregator to not warn when a feed contains no body content at all.
+   * Work around bug #420636 by, if XML::Parser crashes, running the feed
+     content though Encode::decode\_utf8.
+ * [ Josh Triplett ]
+   * Change basewiki CSS to not put a border around images used as links.
+ * [ Joey Hess ]
+   * Move the footer div to enclose tags and links too.
+   * More style sheet updates, remove the hack that used the tags div to create
+     the footer border.
+   * Due to template changes and style sheet changes that depend on them,
+     wiki rebuilds are recommended on upgrade to this version.
+   * Avoid .svn directories when installing from svn checkout.
+   * Fix sending of commit mails when new pages are added via the web.
+   * Add user(name) to the PageSpec for commit subscriptions.
+   * pagespec\_match() has changed to take named parameters, to better allow
+     for extended pagespecs. The old calling convention will still work for
+     back-compat for now.
+   * The calling convention for functions in the IkiWiki::PageSpec namespace
+     has changed so they are passed named parameters.
+   * Plugin interface version increased to 2.00 since I don't anticipate any
+     more interface changes before 2.0.
+   * Updated Gujarati translation from Kartik Mistry. Closes: #[421198](http://bugs.debian.org/421198)
+   * Make pagespec\_match return an object that can be stringified to tell
+     the reason why the match failed or succeeded.
+   * Add testpagespec plugin, which might be useful to see why a pagespec isn't
+     working as desired.
+ * [ Josh Triplett ]
+   * Fix bestlink to use pagecase for pages in userdir, to support pages
+     with non-lowercase filenames.
+ * [ Joey Hess ]
+   * Include wikiname in syslogged messages.
+   * Updated Polish translation from Pawel Tecza.
+   * Updated Czech translation from Miroslav Kure.
+   * Updated Spanish translation from Victor Moral.
+   * Apply patch from hb that uses the full path to a file when adding a file
+     using the mercurial backend. Not 100% sure why it failed w/o the full
+     path, but this still passes the test suite, and indeed, is how the test
+     suite calls hg add."""]]
