+News for ikiwiki 3.20091017:
+
+   To take advantage of significant performance improvements, all
+   wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. 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.

+   * Added support framework for multiple types of dependencies, including
+     dependncies that are only affected by page precence or link changes.
+   * Rebuild wikis on upgrade to this version to get improved dependency
+     info.
+   * pagecount, calendar, postsparkline, progress: Use a presence dependency,
+     which makes these directives much less expensive to use, since page
+     edits will no longer trigger an unnecessary update.
+   * map: Use a presence dependency unless show= is specified.
+     This makes maps efficient enough that they can be used on sidebars!
+   * inline: Use a presence dependency in quick mode.
+   * brokenlinks: Use a link dependency.
+     This makes it much more efficient, only updating when really necessary.
+   * orphans, pagestats: Use a combination of presence and link dependencies.
+     This makes them more efficient. It also fixes a longstanding bug,
+     where if only a small set of pages were considered by orphans/pagestats,
+     changes to links on other pages failed to cause an update.
+   * linkmap: Use a combination of presence and link dependencies.
+     This makes the map be regenerated much less frequently in many cases,
+     so larger maps are more practical to use now.
+   * Plugins providing PageSpec `match\_*` functions should pass additional
+     influence information when creating result objects. This allows correctly
+     handling many more complicated dependencies.
+   * API change: `pagespec\_match\_list` has completly changed its interface.
+     The old interface will be removed soon, and a warning will be printed
+     if any plugins try to use it.
+   * Transitive dependencies are now correctly supported.
+   * ikiwiki-calendar: New command automates creation of archive pages
+     using the calendar plugin.
+   * calendar: Fix midnight rebuild trigger of calendars with explicit
+     month/year.
+   * calendar: Fix bug in next/previous year/month links, which sometimes
+     linked to an archive page from the wrong year, or were missing.
+   * git: --getctime will now follow renames back to the original creation
+     of a file.
+   * calendar: Fix CSS for year calendar to match the plugin documentation.
+   * Added minimal default CSS for calendar plugin, just highlighting the
+     current day.
+   * inline: Optimize generation of archives, etc by not getting inlined page
+     content if the template does not use it."""]]
