[ Joey Hess ]

Revert preservation of input file modification times in output files,
since this leads to too many problems with web caching, especially with
inlined pages. Properly solving this would involve tracking every page
that contributes to a page's content and using the youngest of them all,
as well as special cases for things like the version plugin, and it's just
too complex to do.
aggregate: Forking a child broke the one state that mattered: Forcing
the aggregating page to be rebuilt. Fix this.
cgi hooks are now run before ikiwiki state is loaded.
This allows locking the wiki before loading state, which avoids some
tricky locking code when saving a web edit.
poll: This plugin turns out to have edited pages w/o doing any locking.
Oops. Convert it from a cgi to a sessioncgi hook, which will work
much better.
recentchanges: Improve handling of links on the very static changes pages
by thunking to the CGI, which can redirect to the page, or allow it to be
created if it doesn't exist.
recentchanges: Exipre all *._change pages, even if the directory
they're in has changed.
aggregate: Lots of changes; aggregation can now run without locking the
wiki, and there is a separate aggregatelock to prevent multiple concurrent
aggregation runs.
monotone changes by Brian May:

On commits, replace "mtn sync" bidirectional with "mtn push" single
direction. No need to pull changes when doing a commit. mtn sync
is still called in rcs_update.
Support for viewing differences via patches using viewmtn.


inline: When previewing, still call will_render on rss/atom files,
just avoid actually writing the files. This is necessary because ikiwiki
saves state after a preview (in case it actually did write files),
and if will_render isn't called its security checks will get upset
when the page is saved. Thanks to Edward Betts for his help tracking this
tricky bug down.
inline: Add new allowrss and allowatom config options. These can be
used if you want a wiki that doesn't default to generating rss or atom
feeds, but that does allow them to be turned on for specific blogs.
Don't die if running with --getctime and rcs_getctime throws an error.
There are several cases (recentchanges files, aggregated files)
where some source files are not in revision control.
Page templates can now use CTIME to show when the page was created.
