+ikiwiki (2.14) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading
+ to the srcdir, and will refuse to use a srcdir specified by such a path.
+ This was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially
+ break (semi-)working wikis. If your wiki has a srcdir path containing a
+ symlink, you should change it to use a path that does not.

* Let CC be used to control what compiler is used to build wrappers.
* Use 'cc' instead of gcc as the default compiler.
+ * Security fix: Ensure that there are no symlinks anywhere in the path
+ to the top of the srcdir. In certian unusual configurations, an attacker
+ who could commit to one of the parent directories of the srcdir could
+ use a symlink attack to cause ikiwiki to publish files elsewhere in the
+ filesystem. More details at <http://ikiwiki.info/security/#index29h2>
