ikiwiki 1.9 released with these changes:

Improve display of parentlinks and page title of toplevel index page.
Patch from Faidon to use svn --limit when possible for recentchanges,
speeds up recentchanges a lot for wikis with more history.
Patch from Recai to fix utf8 issues in git backend.
Add wikitext markup plugin, which supports ".wiki" pages written in the
original wiki syntax, CamelCase links and all.
Support a w3mmode, which lets w3m run ikiwiki using its local CGI
support, to edit pages etc without a web server.
Display CGI processing errors if present.
Fix from Faidon for a XML parser issue that breaks utf-8 for
RecentChanges. Avoid using XML::SAX::PurePerl, which is buggy in this
area, and also way slow.
Match 'web commit from' in SVN and git, these are web commits too.
(Faidon)
Consolidated all decode_utf8 in FormBuilder's fields to make the code more
readable and avoid future mistakes. The patch seems to work and for the
first time I have a UTF-8 username ;-) (Faidon)
Use form->field consistently, not form->param.
Patch from Recai to allow selection of page type when creating a new page.
Default page type is inherited from the link clicked on to create the new
page.
