+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.  It will convert preprocessor directives in
+  all files given on the command line.  To convert an entire wiki:
+
+  find wikidir/ -type f -name '*.mdwn' -print0 | xargs -0 ikiwiki-transition prefix_directives
+
+  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.

+ikiwiki (2.30) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the
+  spirit of a wiki compiler? Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is
+  now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds.
+  Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes
+  to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users.
+  
+  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.
+
+  With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system
+  is its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for
+  various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED
+  from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be
+  able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed.
+
+  The "svnrepo" and "notify" fields in setup files are no longer used, and
+  silently ignored. You may want to remove them from your setup file.

+ikiwiki (2.20) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  The template plugin has begin to htmlize the variables passed to templates.
+  This is normally what you want, but to get the old behavior and get at the
+  raw value, you can use `<TMPL_VAR raw_variable>` in a template.

+
+ikiwiki (2.16) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this
+  release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog".
+  Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily,
+  and will be removed later.
+
+  If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly
+  cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass
+  --refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that
+  contain out of date calendars.

+
+ikiwiki (2.14) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading
+  to the srcdir, and will refuse to use a srcdir specified by such a path.
+  This  was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially
+  break (semi-)working wikis. If your wiki has a srcdir path containing a
+  symlink, you should change it to use a path that does not.
