-   * Bring back the svnrepo setup file option. This is needed for

-   * Correct a bug in pagespec matching, where a empty pagespec matched all
-     pages. This manifested as wikis with no locked pages treating them all as

-   * Medium urgency upload due to above fix."""]]

+News for ikiwiki 2.49:
+
+   The search plugin no longer uses hyperestrair. Instead, to use it you
+   will now need to install xapian-omega, and the Search::Xapian,
+   HTML::Scrubber, and Digest::SHA1 perl modules.

+   * haiku: Generate valid xhtml.
+   * ikiwiki-mass-rebuild: Don't trust $! when setting $)
+   * inline: The optimisation in 2.41 broke nested inlines. Detect those
+     and avoid overoptimising.
+   * search: Converted to use xapian-omega.
+   * Filter hooks are no longer called during the scan phase. This will
+     prevent wikilinks added by filters from being scanned properly. But
+     no known filter hook does that, so let's not waste time on it.
+   * Pass a destpage parameter to the sanitize hook.
+   * The search interface now allows searching for a page by title
+     ("title:foo"), as well as for pages that contain a given link
+     ("link:bar")."""]]
