+ikiwiki 1.12 released with these changes:
+
+   "Viva l'Italia!"
+   * New pagestats plugin from Enrico, which can generate a table counting
+     the backlinks for each page, or a del.icio.us style cloud.
+   * Build-depend on libtext-wikiformat-perl, so that the syntax check of
+     the wikiformat plugin works. Thanks, Emanuele Aina.
+   * Patch from Alessandro Dotti Contra to clean up backlinks and navbar
+     display, running them through pagetitle. This removes ugly underscores and
+     other gunk from the display, much nicer. You may want to rebuild your wiki
+     when upgrading to get the cleanup globally.
+   * Polygen plugin from Enrico.
+   * htmltidy plugin from Faidon.
+   * Locale patch from Faidon:
+     - Adds a locale setting to setup files.
+     - Proper local time, if the locale configuration option is used.
+     - Support for UTF-8 (or ISO-8859-X) filenames in SVN. Before this patch,
+       commiting (or even rcs\_updating) on repositories with UTF-8 filenames was
+       impossible.
+   * Add getopt hook type, this allows plugins to add new command-line options.
+   * Add --tagbase option to tag plugin.
+   * Add exclude option in setup files, works same as --exclude.
+   * Put categories in rss feeds for tagged items.
+   * Allow preprocessor directives to be expanded in inlined blog pages.
+     However, to avoid inlining loops etc, don't expand inline directives in
+     inlined pages.
+   * fortune plugin (trivial)
+   * Tag plugins according to type.
