+News for ikiwiki 2.16:
+
+ 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.
+ The meta plugin no longer supports setting internal or external links
+ with "meta link". Instead, use "meta openid" for openid links, and use tags
+ for in-wiki invisible links between pages.
+ 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+ contain out of date calendars.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 2.16 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[toggleable text="""
+ * Major basewiki reorganisation. Most pages moved into ikiwiki/ subdirectory
+ to avoid polluting the main namespace, and some were further renamed.
+ * meta: Add redir support, based on a patch by Thomas Schwinge.
+ * Redirs added for moved basewiki pages. These will be removed in a future
+ release.
+ * Remove .otl file from sandbox to avoid build ugliness. Closes: #[454181](http://bugs.debian.org/454181)
+ * Finally implemented a simple per-page data storage mechanism for plugins,
+ via the %pagestate hash.
+ * Use pagestate in meta to detect potential redir loops.
+ * Added a version plugin that saves state about what's using it, to force
+ pages to rebuild when ikiwiki's version changes.
+ * The calendar plugin stores state about when it needs to be updated,
+ and forces rebuilds of the pages that contain calendars. So
+ running ikiwiki --refresh at midnight is now enough, no need for a full
+ wiki rebuild each midnight.
+ * calendar: Work around block html parsing bug in markdown 1.0.1 by
+ enclosing the calendar in an extra div.
+ * Fix file pruning code to work if ikiwiki is run with "." as the srcdir.
+ * Add an edittemplate plugin, allowing registering template pages, that
+ provide default content for new pages created using the web frontend.
+ * Change formbuilder hook to not be responsible for displaying a form,
+ so that more than one plugin can use this hook.
+ I believe this is a safe change, since only passwordauth uses this hook.
+ (If some other plugin already used it, it would have broken passwordauth!)
+ * Ensure that web edited pages always end in a newline.
+ * Avoid unnecessary stat calls to get mtime when rendering pages, use
+ cached value.
+ * Preserve input file modification times in output files.
+ * Allow dashes in preprocessor directive commands, and shortcuts.
+ * Htmlize parameters passed to the template preprocessor directive before
+ inserting them into the html template. This ensures that markdown
+ acts on them, even if the value is expanded inside a block-level html
+ element in the html template. Closes: #[454058](http://bugs.debian.org/454058)
+ * Use a div in the note template rather than a span.
+ * shortcut: Expand %S to the raw input text, not url-encoded.
+ * Don't increment feed numbers when an inline has no feeds. (Nis Martensen)
+ * Allow editing a page and deleting all content, while still disallowing
+ creating a new page that's entirely empty.
+ * meta: Drop support for "meta link", since supporting this for internal
+ links required meta to be run during scan, which complicated its data
+ storage, since it had to clear data stored during the scan pass to avoid
+ duplicating it during the normal preprocessing pass.
+ * If you used "meta link", you should switch to either "meta openid" (for
+ openid delegations), or tags (for internal, invisible links). I assume
+ that nobody really used "meta link" for external, non-openid links, since
+ the htmlscrubber ate those. (Tell me differently and I'll consider bringing
+ back that support.)
+ * meta: Improved data storage.
+ * meta: Drop the hackish filter hook that was used to clear
+ stored data before preprocessing, this hack was ugly, and broken (cf:
+ liw's disappearing openids).
+ * aggregate: Convert filter hook to a needsbuild hook.
+ * map: Don't inline images.
+ * brokenlinks: Don't list the same link multiple times. (%links might
+ contain multiple copies of the same link)
+ * git: Correct display of multiline commit messages in recentchanges.
+ * Re-organise dependencies and recommends now that recommends are installed
+ by default.
+ * Don't refuse to render files with ".." in their name. (Anchor the regexp.)
+ * Work around perl taint checking bug #411786, where perl sometimes randomly
+ sets the taint flag on untainted variables, by disabling taint checking
+ in the deb. This sucks."""]]
