+ikiwiki (2.30) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  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.
