-ikiwiki 2.10 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[toggleable text="""
-   * Tidy ctime debug output for git.
-   * French translation update. Closes: #[445923](http://bugs.debian.org/445923)
-   * Fix --get-ctime with git, needed to remove srcdir from filename.
-   * In the cgi edit path, reload the index file before rendering. A bug
-     showed up where a web edit that added a page caused a near-concurrent
-     web edit to fail in will\_render. While it would be hard to reproduce this,
-     my analysis is that the failing cgi started first, loaded the index file
-     (prior to locking) then the other cgi created the new page and rendered
-     it, and then the failing cgi choked on the new file when \_it\_ tried to
-     render it. Ensuring that the index file is loaded after taking the lock
-     will avoid this bug.
-   * Fix strange stderr-hiding code in the git module, allow error messages
-     to be passed on to stderr. Also fixes a potential bug, since git error
-     meesages were treated as if they came from git stdout.
-   * Add a "createlink" class attribute to the span for wikilinks pointing
-     to not-yet-existing pages. I don't have a useful style defined for that
-     though.
-   * Rewritten rst plugin by madduck is a python program that communicates with
-     ikiwiki via XML RPC. This should be much faster than the old plugin that
-     had to fork python for every rst page render. Note that if you use
-     the rst plugin, you now need to have the RPC::XML perl module installed.
-   * Danish translation from Jonas Smedegaard. Closes: #[446952](http://bugs.debian.org/446952)
-   * Support git authors of the form "joey <joey>", which is common when
-     importing from a svn repo."""]]

-   * Correct a pair of logic errors that triggered if svnpath was empty.
-   * If gitorigin\_branch is set to the empty string, don't push or pull.
-     Useful for laptop clones of remote wikis.
-   * Add a calendar plugin, contributed by Manoj Srivastava.
-   * Reformat calendar plugin to ikiwiki conventions.
-   * The calendar plugin made *every* page depend on every other page,
-     which seemed a wee tiny little bit overkill. Fixed the dependency
-     calculations (I hope.)
-   * Removed manual ctime statting code, and just have the calendar plugin use
-     %pagectime.
-   * Ikiwiki has moved into a git repository.
-   * postsparkline: Avoid a confusing error message if no pages match
-     and instead show an empty graph.
-   * Add handling of feeds for nested inlines, as well as support for a
-     single page containing two different feeds.
-   * Also fixed some places in inline that failed to use destpage correctly.
-   * ikiwiki-mass-rebuild: Patch from HenrikBrixAndersen to fix order
-     of permissions dropping code to work on FreeBSD.
-   * ikiwiki-mass-rebuild: Don't clear PATH from the environment.
-   * Run git-commit -q (though it doesn't do much good due to its stderr
-     abuse)."""]]

-   * Fix an aggregate plugin expiry bug. Over time, it's possible for the same

-     happened, the expiry code counted each past guid that had used that page
-     name as a currently existing page, and thus expired too many pages.

-   * Avoid using commands like git-diff and instead use "git diff".
-     In some configurations, only the main git command is in the path.
-   * Improve the RecentChanges display for git merges, by passing -c instead
-     of -m to git-log, and by skipping display of commits that change no
-     pages.
-   * Don't truncate git commit messages to the first line in RecentChanges,

-
-   This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading

-   This  was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially

-News for ikiwiki 2.16:
-
-   Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this
-   release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog".
-   Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily,
-   and will be removed later.
-
-   The meta plugin no longer supports setting internal or external links
-   with "meta link". Instead, use "meta openid" for openid links, and use tags
-   for in-wiki invisible links between pages.
-
-   If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly
-   cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass
-   --refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that
-   contain out of date calendars.
-
-ikiwiki 2.16 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[toggleable text="""
-   * Major basewiki reorganisation. Most pages moved into ikiwiki/ subdirectory
-     to avoid polluting the main namespace, and some were further renamed.
-   * meta: Add redir support, based on a patch by Thomas Schwinge.
-   * Redirs added for moved basewiki pages. These will be removed in a future
-     release.
-   * Remove .otl file from sandbox to avoid build ugliness. Closes: #[454181](http://bugs.debian.org/454181)
-   * Finally implemented a simple per-page data storage mechanism for plugins,
-     via the %pagestate hash.
-   * Use pagestate in meta to detect potential redir loops.
-   * Added a version plugin that saves state about what's using it, to force
-     pages to rebuild when ikiwiki's version changes.
-   * The calendar plugin stores state about when it needs to be updated,
-     and forces rebuilds of the pages that contain calendars. So
-     running ikiwiki --refresh at midnight is now enough, no need for a full
-     wiki rebuild each midnight.
-   * calendar: Work around block html parsing bug in markdown 1.0.1 by
-     enclosing the calendar in an extra div.
-   * Fix file pruning code to work if ikiwiki is run with "." as the srcdir.
-   * Add an edittemplate plugin, allowing registering template pages, that
-     provide default content for new pages created using the web frontend.
-   * Change formbuilder hook to not be responsible for displaying a form,
-     so that more than one plugin can use this hook.
-     I believe this is a safe change, since only passwordauth uses this hook.
-     (If some other plugin already used it, it would have broken passwordauth!)
-   * Ensure that web edited pages always end in a newline.
-   * Avoid unnecessary stat calls to get mtime when rendering pages, use
-     cached value.
-   * Preserve input file modification times in output files.
-   * Allow dashes in preprocessor directive commands, and shortcuts.
-   * Htmlize parameters passed to the template preprocessor directive before
-     inserting them into the html template. This ensures that markdown
-     acts on them, even if the value is expanded inside a block-level html
-     element in the html template. Closes: #[454058](http://bugs.debian.org/454058)
-   * Use a div in the note template rather than a span.
-   * shortcut: Expand %S to the raw input text, not url-encoded.
-   * Don't increment feed numbers when an inline has no feeds. (Nis Martensen)
-   * Allow editing a page and deleting all content, while still disallowing
-     creating a new page that's entirely empty.
-   * meta: Drop support for "meta link", since supporting this for internal
-     links required meta to be run during scan, which complicated its data
-     storage, since it had to clear data stored during the scan pass to avoid
-     duplicating it during the normal preprocessing pass.
-   * If you used "meta link", you should switch to either "meta openid" (for
-     openid delegations), or tags (for internal, invisible links). I assume
-     that nobody really used "meta link" for external, non-openid links, since
-     the htmlscrubber ate those. (Tell me differently and I'll consider bringing
-     back that support.)
-   * meta: Improved data storage.
-   * meta: Drop the hackish filter hook that was used to clear
-     stored data before preprocessing, this hack was ugly, and broken (cf:
-     liw's disappearing openids).
-   * aggregate: Convert filter hook to a needsbuild hook.
-   * map: Don't inline images.
-   * brokenlinks: Don't list the same link multiple times. (%links might
-     contain multiple copies of the same link)
-   * git: Correct display of multiline commit messages in recentchanges.
-   * Re-organise dependencies and recommends now that recommends are installed
-     by default.
-   * Don't refuse to render files with ".." in their name. (Anchor the regexp.)
-   * Work around perl taint checking bug #411786, where perl sometimes randomly
-     sets the taint flag on untainted variables, by disabling taint checking
-     in the deb. This sucks."""]]

+News for ikiwiki 2.30:
+
+   Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the
+   spirit of a wiki compiler? Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is
+   now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds.
+   Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes
+   to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users.
+   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.
+   With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system
+   is showing its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for
+   various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED
+   from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be
+   able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed.
+   The "svnrepo" and "notify" fields in setup files are no longer used, and
+   silently ignored. You may want to remove them from your setup file.

+ * [ Joey Hess ]
+   * Old versions of git-init don't support --git-dir or GIT\_DIR with
+     --bare. Change ikiwiki-makerepo to use a method that should work with
+     those older versions too.
+   * aggregate: Don't let feeds set creation times for pages in the future.
+   * Add full parser for git diff-tree output (Brian Downing)
+   * aggregate: Fork a child process to handle the aggregation. This simplifies
+     the code, since that process can change internal state as needed, and
+     it will automatically be cleaned up for the parent process, which proceeds
+     to render the changes.
+ * [ Josh Triplett ]
+   * Add trailing comma to commented-out umask in sample ikiwiki.setup, so
+     that uncommenting it does not break the setup file.
+ * [ Joey Hess ]
+   * inline: The template can check for FIRST and LAST, which will be
+     set for the first and last inlined page. Useful for templates that build
+     tables and the like.
+   * prettydate,ddate: Don't ignore time formats passed to displaytime
+     function.
+   * Pages with extensions starting with "\_" are internal-use, and will
+     not be rendered or web-edited, or matched by normal pagespecs.
+   * Add "internal()" pagespec that matches internal-use pages.
+   * RecentChanges is now a static html page, that's updated whenever a commit
+     is made to the wiki. It's built as a blog using inline, so it can have
+     an rss feed that users can subscribe to.
+   * Removed support for sending commit notification mails. Along with it went
+     the svnrepo and notify settings, though both will be ignored if left in
+     setup files. Also gone with it is the "user()" pagespec.
+   * Add refresh hook.
+   * meta: Add pagespec functions to match against title, author, authorurl,
+     license, and copyright. This can be used to create custom RecentChanges.
+   * meta: To support the pagespec functions, metadata about pages has to be
+     retained as pagestate.
+   * Fix encoding bug when pagestate values contained spaces.
+   * Add support for bzr, written by Jelmer Vernooij. Thanks also to bma for
+     his independent work on bzr support.
