[ Joey Hess ]

Make it possible to load setup files w/o running them. Code
needing to do so can call IkiWiki::Setup::load, which will return
a hash of values.


[ Josh Triplett ]

ikiwiki-transition: Fix command-line processing so the prefix_directives
transition works again.


[ Joey Hess ]

template: Add support for a BASENAME variable.
Fixes creation of pages when clicking on WikiLinks starting with "/".
Change deb dependencies to list Text::Markdown before markdown, since
the former, while slower, has a much better html parser that avoids
numerous bugs.
Move yesno function out of inline and into IkiWiki core, not exported.
Error handling improvement for preprocess hooks. It's now safe to call
error() from such hooks; it will cause a nicely formatted error message
to be inserted into the page.
Cut the size of the binary package in half by excluding pages for bugs
and todo items from the html shipped in it.
parentlinks: New plugin, split out of ikiwiki core and enabled by default,
and several new fields added to allow for advanced styling. (intrigeri)
smileys: Some fixes for escaped smileys.
smileys: Note that smileys need to be double-escaped for the escaping to
work. Markdown removes one level of escaping.
Add a postscan hook.
search: Use postscan hook, avoid updating index when previewing.
git: Put web committer name/openid/address in the git author field.
The committer's email address is not used (because leaking email addresses
is not liked by many users). Closes: #451023
git: Fix parsing of git logs with no commit messages at all.
search: Fixes for title stemming, and use better term for tags.
(Gabriel McManus)
(Rebuilding the wiki on upgrade to this version is recommended if you
use the search plugin.)

meta, inline: Support guid options, to allow forcing a particular url or
uuid in feeds.
meta: fix title() PageSpec
Some footer style changes.
aggregate: Add an aggregateinternal option, which allows storing
aggregated data to internal-use files, rather than wiki pages. This
can save disk space, and be faster.
ikiwiki-transition: Add a aggregateinternal transition to rename
the aggregated files."""]]
