- * goodstuff: Add more, progress, and table plugins to the bundle.
- * Improve error message if external plugin fails to load. Closes: #[498458](http://bugs.debian.org/498458)
- * Directive documentation broken out of the plugin documentation and into
- pages suitable to be used as an underlay. Thanks to Willu for doing most
- of the tedious work.
- * Move the directive documentation into its own underlay, separate from
- basewiki, since it's sorta large compared to the rest of basewiki.
- * listdirectives: Enable use of the directives underlay.
- * Removed the obsolete blog page from the basewiki. ikiwiki/blog still
- remains, but is now deprecated too.
- * Removed old redirecton pages from basewiki (helponformatting,
- markdown, openid, pagespec, preprocessordirective, subpage, wikilink).
- * inline: Treat rootpage as a link, so that it can refer to a subpage
- without hardcoding the path."""]] \ No newline at end of file

+ * Avoid multiple ikiwiki cgi processes piling up, eating all memory,

+ If you had to set apache's MaxClients low to avoid ikiwiki thrashing your

+ * Stop busy-waiting in lockwiki, as this could delay ikiwiki from waking up
+ for up to one second. The bailout code is no longer needed after above
+ change.
+ * Remove support for unused optional wait parameter from lockwiki.
+ * aggregate: Try to query XML::Feed for the base url when derelevatising
+ links. Since this needs the just released XML::Feed 0.3, as well
+ as a not yet released XML::RSS, it will fall back to the old method
+ if no xml:base info is available.
+ * meta: Plugin is now enabled by default since the basewiki uses it.
+ * txt: Do not encode quotes when filtering the txt, as that broke
+ later parsing of any directives on the page.
+ * Fix the link() pagespec to match links that are internally recorded as
+ absolute.
+ * Add rel=nofollow to recentchanges\_links for the same (weak) reasons it
+ was earlier added to edit links.

+## the session database
+
+`.ikiwiki/sessions.db` is the session database. See the [[cpan CGI::Session]]
+documentation for more details.
+
+## lockfiles
+
+In case you're curious, here's what the various lock files do.
+
+* `.ikiwiki/lockfile` is the master ikiwiki lock file. Ikiwiki takes this
+ lock before reading/writing state.
+* `.ikiwiki/commitlock` is locked as a semophore, to disable the commit hook
+ from doing anything.
+* `.ikiwiki/cgilock` is locked by the cgi wrapper, to ensure that only
+ one ikiwiki process is run at a time to handle cgi requests.
+
+## plugin state files
+
+Some plugins create other files to store their state.
+
+* `.ikiwiki/aggregate` is a plain text database used by the aggregate plugin
+ to record feeds and known posts.
+* `.ikiwiki/xapian/` is created by the search plugin, and contains xapian-omega
+ configuration and the xapian database.
