+# 3.0
+
+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/trusted_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.
+
+Released 31 December, 2008.
+
+The 3.x series is expected to undergo continuing development for some time,
adding improvements and new features, but avoiding changes that break
backwards compatability.
# future goals
-* Improved [[todo/html]] stylesheets and templates.
- _(status: [[css_market]] exists; it could always provide more stylesheets. No alternate templates yet, though.)_
-* More documentation in the basewiki, including documentation for all enabled plugins. Probably need some solution for [[todo/conditional_underlay_files]], too.
* Conversion support for existing other wikis.
(Being worked on for MoinMoin and TWiki by [[Josh_Triplett|JoshTriplett]]
and Jamey Sharp; support for other wikis should fit into the same
framework.)
