+Version 3.0 is an opportunity to make significant transitions.
+Read [[tips/upgrade_to_3.0]] for the steps you will need to
+follow when upgrading your wiki to this version.
+
+The highlights of the changes in version 3.0 include:
+
+* Support for uploading [[attachments|plugins/attachment]].
+* Can [[plugins/rename]] and [[plugins/remove]] pages and files via the web.
+* [[Web_based_setup|plugins/websetup]].
+* Blog-style [[plugins/comments]] as an alternative to Discussion pages.
+* Many other new plugins including [[plugins/htmlbalance]], [[plugins/format]],
+  [[plugins/progress]], [[plugins/color]], [[plugins/autoindex]],
+  [[plugins/cutpaste]], [[plugins/hnb]], [[plugins/creole]], [[plugins/txt]],
+  [[plugins/amazon_s3]], [[plugins/pinger]], [[plugins/pingee]],
+  [[plugins/edittemplate]]
+* The RecentChanges page is compiled statically, not generated from the CGI.
+* Support for additional revision control systems: [[rcs/bzr]],
+  [[rcs/monotone]]
+* Support for [[tips/untrusted_git_push]].
+* A new version (3.00) of the plugin API, exporting additional
+  commonly used functions from `IkiWiki.pm`.
+* Nearly everything in ikiwiki is now a plugin, from WikiLinks to page
+  editing, to RecentChanges.
+* Far too many bug fixes, features, and enhancements to list here.

+# compatability breaking changes
+
+Probably incomplete list:
+
+* Drop old `--getctime` option.
+* Remove compatability code in `loadindex` to handle old index data layouts.
+* Make pagespecs match relative by default? (see [[discussion]])
+* Flip wikilinks? (see [[todo/link_plugin_perhaps_too_general?]])
+* YADA format setup files per default?
+* Enable tagbase by default (so that tag autocreation will work by default).
+  Note that this is already done for wikis created by `auto-blog.setup`.
+* [[tips/html5]] on by default (some day..)
+
+In general, we try to use [[ikiwiki-transition]] or forced rebuilds on
+upgrade to deal with changes that break compatability. Some things that
+can't help with.
