-ikiwiki 1.31 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
-
-[[toggleable text="""
-   * Patch from Pawel Tecza to cp -a the templates in the Makefile.
-   * Change the rss feed title from the wikiname to the page title, with
-     an exception for the wiki's toplevel index page, which will still use the
-     wikiname as the feed title.
-     Overriding the page title with meta title already overrode the rss feed
-     tittle.
-   * Add an img plugin, based on Christian Mock's img plugin, but stripped
-     down to the bare essentials. Useful for handling large images on websites.
-   * Sanitize possibly problimatic characters out of the polygen grammar names,
-     just in case. Should not be exploitable anyway, since it only tries to run
-     polygen after finding the specified grammar file.
-   * Add missing dependency on the URI perl module.
-   * Add basic spam fighting tool for admins: An admin's prefs page now allows
-     editing a list of banned users.

+ikiwiki 1.34 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[toggleable text="""
+   * Add an openid plugin to support logging in using OpenID.
+   * Web commits by OpenID users will record the full OpenID url for the user,
+     but in recentchanges, these urls will be converted to a simplified display
+     form+link.
+   * Modified svn, git, tla backends to recognise such web commits.
+   * Move httpauth support to a plugin.
+   * Add openidsignup config option.
+   * Make the openid plugin support the callbacks from myopenid.com via its
+     affiliate program.
+   * Add toggle plugin.
+   * Add a poll plugin.
+   * Add quick mode for archive page generation.
+   * Introduce the goodstuff bundle. This is a kind of plugin, that just enables
+     many other plugins. It's an easy way to boost ikiwiki from its default,
+     basic wiki, to a full-featured wiki, without manually picking the right
+     set of plugins. New plugins will be added to goodstuff from time to
+     time.
+   * Change how post signin actions are propigated through the signin process;
+     they're now stored in the session.
+   * Add optional "desc" parameter to shortcut definitions.
+   * Avoid locking the wiki at all when handling some basic cgi stuff
+     (searches, recentchanges).
+   * Add "last" parameter to hook function. Very basic ordering, and hopefully
+     nothing more spohisticated will be needed.
+   * Add formbuilder\_setup and formbuilder hooks.
+   * Split out a passwordauth module, that holds all the traditional password
+     based authentication etc code. It's enabled by default, but can be disabled
+     if you want only openid or some other auth method.
+   * Rename ikiwiki.pl so MakeMaker doesn't see it, and install it.
+   * Add some code to the build system that tries to determine if the
+     lib installation directory is in @INC. If it's not, munge ikiwiki
+     to hardcode the path to the lib directory. This should allow installing
+     ikiwiki in nonstandard locations, including home directories, by just
+     setting PREFIX at build time.
+   * Fix nested examples directory in deb.
+   * Add a test suite for the mercurial backend, contributed by Emanuele Aina.
+   * Add a test suite for the svn backend.
+   * Add a test suite for the git backend, from Recai
+   * Daemonize before sending RPC pings, since that can take a while
+     and/or hang.
+   * Daemonize before sending commit mails, as that can also take a long
+     time/hang if the mail server is unhappy.
+   * Factor out commit mail sending code into new function.
+   * Change rcs\_commit, it is now passed the name of the user doing the commit
+     and their IP address, and needs to construct its own commit message
+     containing them, or do something more appropriate for the given RCS.
+   * Add softwaresite example.
+   * Mercurial backend improvements, including --get-ctime support. (Emanuele
+     Aina)
+   * Git backend improvements, including bug fixes and better robustness,
+     from Recai."""]]
