-   * Add a rawhtml plugin that allows copying raw html files from the srcdir.
-   * Fix --locale to control LC\_ALL now.
-   * Include the pot file in the source tarball. Closes: #[405890](http://bugs.debian.org/405890)
-   * Add a Swedish translation by Daniel Nylander. Closes: #[406410](http://bugs.debian.org/406410)
-   * Add a Czech translation by Miroslav Kure.
-   * Add a Bulgarian translation by Damyan Ivanov. Closes: #[406580](http://bugs.debian.org/406580)
-   * Add a Gujarati translation by Kartik Mistry. Closes: #[406635](http://bugs.debian.org/406635)
-   * Add a Vietnamese translation by Clytie Siddall.
-   * Fix encoding issue with use of Locale::Gettext. Seems that the OO
-     interface returns proper utf-8 decoded strings, unlike the traditional
-     interface, so use the OO interface.
-   * Search in default location for templates as a fallback when templatedir is
-     pointed elsewhere, so that only modified templates need to be copied into
-     a templatedir. Based on work by JeremyReed.
-   * In the aggregator, check for and deal with post filenames that are
-     longer than the maximum file length.
-   * Change the RecentChanges page to show the path of changed pages.
-   * Various minor bugfixes."""]]

+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..)"""]]
