-ikiwiki 1.8 released with these changes:
+A special release for July 4th with many improvements.
+
+*Upgrade notes:*
+
+ If your wiki is configured with a setup file, you should modify it to
+ stop setting the "plugin" list directly, and instead add or remove plugins
+ via the add_plugins and disable_plugins lines. For example, if you had:
+
+ plugin => [qw{inline smiley search}],
+
+ Change it to these lines, which disables the default htmlscrubber plugin
+ and adds the two additional plugins:
+
+ add_plugins => [qw{smiley search}],
+ disable_plugins => [qw{htmlscrubber}],
+
+ Making this change makes your ikiwiki setup file more future-proof since
+ new default plugins will be automatically used.
+
+ You will need to rebuild your ikiwiki wrappers when upgrading 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
+ ikiiki-mass-rebuild --refresh to force a refresh.
+
+*Changes:*
* Fix orphans plugin to not count a link to a nonexistant page as a reason
for a page not being an orphan.
