+
+ There are two significant changes to the page.tmpl template in this version.
+ If you have a locally modified version of that template, you will need to
+ update it at least to contain the following in the HTML <head>:
+
+ <TMPL_IF DYNAMIC>
+ <TMPL_IF FORCEBASEURL><base href="<TMPL_VAR FORCEBASEURL>" /><TMPL_ELSE>
+ <TMPL_IF BASEURL><base href="<TMPL_VAR BASEURL>" /></TMPL_IF>
+ </TMPL_IF>
+ </TMPL_IF>
+
+ Also, the footer should be wrapped in <TMPL_UNLESS DYNAMIC> ... </TMPL_UNLESS>
+
+ There is a new "comment()" pagespec, that can be used to match a
+ comment on a page. It is recommended it be used instead of the old
+ method of using a pagespec such as "internal(comment_*)" to match
+ things that looked like comments. The old pagespec will now also match
+ comments that are held for moderation; likely not what you want.
+
+ There have also been some changes to the style.css in this version,
+ particularly to support the new openid selector. If you have a modified
+ version, of style.css, updating it (or moving it to local.css) is
+ recommended.

+ikiwiki (3.20100427) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ This version of ikiwiki has a lot of changes that you need to know about.
+
+ Now you can include customised versions of templates in the source
+ of your wiki. (For example, templates/page.tmpl.) When these templates
+ are changed, ikiwiki will automatically rebuild pages that use them.
+
+ Allowing untrusted users to upload attachments with the ".tmpl"
+ extension is not recommended, as that allows anyone to change
+ a wiki's templates.
+
+ The --getctime switch is renamed to --gettime, and it also gets the
+ file modification time. And it's a lot faster (when using git). But
+ the really important change is, you don't have to remember to use this
+ switch. Now ikiwiki will do it when it needs to.
+
+ At last, the "tagged()" pagespec only matches tags, not regular wikilinks.
+ If your wiki accidentially relied on the old, buggy behavior, you might
+ need to change its pagespecs to use "link()".
+
+ Many of your wishes have been answered: Now tag pages can automatically be
+ created when new tags are used. This feature is enabled by default if you
+ have configured a tagbase. It can be turned on or off using the
+ tag_autocreate setting.
+
+ These changes may also affect some users:
+
+ * The title_natural sort method (as used by the inline directive, etc)
+ has been moved to the new sortnaturally plugin, which is not enabled
+ by default since it requires the Sort::Naturally perl module.
+
+ * The add_templates option has been removed from the underlay plugin.
+ If you used this option, you can instead use templates/ subdirectories
+ inside underlay directories added by the add_underlays option.
+
+ Due to the above and other changes, all wikis need to be rebuilt on
+ upgrade to this version. 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.

+ If your wiki uses git, and you have a `diffurl` configured in
+ its setup file, you should be aware that gitweb has stopped
+ supporting the url form commonly used for the `diffurl`.
+
+ You can change your setup to use the newer gitweb url form:

+
+ The teximg plugin now has a configurable LaTeX preamble.
+ As part of this change the `mchem` LaTeX package has been removed from
+ the default LaTeX preamble as it wasn't included in many TeX installations.
+
+ The previous behaviour can be restored by adding the following to your

+ \usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
+ \usepackage{amsmath}

+
+ Admin preferences are moving from the web interface to the setup file.
+ There are three new options in the setup file: `locked_pages`, `banned_users`,
+ and `allowed_attachments`. The admin prefs page can still be used, but
+ that's deprecated, and the prefs will be hidden if a value is not already
+ set. If a value is set in the web interface, you're encouraged to move that
+ setting to your setup file now, since version 3.0 will remove the deprecated
+ admin prefs web interface.
+
+ Also, the layout of the setup file has changed in a significant way in this
+ release. Old setup files will continue to work, but new features, like the
+ new websetup interface, require a new format setup file. You can convert
+ old setup files into the new format by running
+ `ikiwiki-transition setupformat ikiwiki.setup`

+ikiwiki (2.40) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ ikiwiki now has an new syntax for preprocessor directives, using the
+ prefix '!':
+
+ [[!directive ...]]
+
+ This new syntax no longer relies on spaces to distinguish between
+ wikilinks and preprocessor directives. Thus, wikilinks can use spaces
+ in their link text, and preprocessor directives without arguments (such
+ as "toc") need not use a trailing space.
+
+ To enable the new syntax, set prefix_directives to true in your ikiwiki
+ config. For backward compatibility with existing wikis,
+ prefix_directives currently defaults to false. In ikiwiki 3.0,
+ prefix_directives will default to true, and wikis which have not yet
+ converted to the new syntax will need to set prefix_directives to false
+ in their setup files.
+
+ To convert your wiki to the new syntax, ikiwiki provides a new script
+ ikiwiki-transition.
+
+ Even with prefix_directives disabled, ikiwiki now allows an optional '!'
+ prefix on preprocessor directives (but still requires a space). Thus, a
+ directive which uses a '!' prefix and contains a space will work with
+ ikiwiki 2.40 and newer, regardless of the value of prefix_directives.
+ This allows the underlay to work with all ikiwikis.
