News for ikiwiki 1.51:
Some wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version, due to changes to
page layout and the style sheet. 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.

[ Joey Hess ]

Support setting svnpath to "" for wikis that are rooted at the top of
their svn repositories, with no trunk directory.
Minor template improvements by Alessandro.
In mercurial backend, untaint ipaddr when using it as the user for the
commit. Thanks, Alexander Wirt. Closes: #420428
Fix aggregator to not warn when a feed contains no body content at all.
Work around bug #420636 by, if XML::Parser crashes, running the feed
content though Encode::decode_utf8.


[ Josh Triplett ]

Change basewiki CSS to not put a border around images used as links.


[ Joey Hess ]

Move the footer div to enclose tags and links too.
More style sheet updates, remove the hack that used the tags div to create
the footer border.
Due to template changes and style sheet changes that depend on them,
wiki rebuilds are recommended on upgrade to this version.
Avoid .svn directories when installing from svn checkout.
Fix sending of commit mails when new pages are added via the web.
Add user(name) to the PageSpec for commit subscriptions.
pagespec_match() has changed to take named parameters, to better allow
for extended pagespecs. The old calling convention will still work for
back-compat for now.
The calling convention for functions in the IkiWiki::PageSpec namespace
has changed so they are passed named parameters.
Plugin interface version increased to 2.00 since I don't anticipate any
more interface changes before 2.0.
Updated Gujarati translation from Kartik Mistry. Closes: #421198
Make pagespec_match return an object that can be stringified to tell
the reason why the match failed or succeeded.
Add testpagespec plugin, which might be useful to see why a pagespec isn't
working as desired.


[ Josh Triplett ]

Fix bestlink to use pagecase for pages in userdir, to support pages
with non-lowercase filenames.


[ Joey Hess ]

Include wikiname in syslogged messages.
Updated Polish translation from Pawel Tecza.
Updated Czech translation from Miroslav Kure.
Updated Spanish translation from Victor Moral.
Apply patch from hb that uses the full path to a file when adding a file
using the mercurial backend. Not 100% sure why it failed w/o the full
path, but this still passes the test suite, and indeed, is how the test
suite calls hg add."""]]
