+ikiwiki 2.15 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[toggleable text="""
+   * Add a new ikiwiki-makerepo program, that automates setting up a repo
+     and importing existing content for svn, git, and mercurial. This makes
+     the setup process much simpler.
+   * Reorganised git documentation.
+   * Actually install the ikiwiki-update-wikilist program.
+   * Improve workaround for perl bug #376329. Rather than double-encoding,
+     which has been reported to cause encoding problems (though I haven't
+     reproduced them), just catch a failure of markdown, and retry.
+     (The crazy perl bug magically disappears on the retry.)
+     Closes: #[449379](http://bugs.debian.org/449379)
+   * Add umask configuration option. Closes: #[443329](http://bugs.debian.org/443329)"""]]
