-News for ikiwiki 2.46:
-
-   There were some significant template changes in ikiwiki 2.42 (and 1.33.5).
-   If you have locally modified versions of the templates, they need to be
-   updated. Most notably, the editpage.tmpl has a new FIELD-SID added to it,
-   without which web editing will fail.
-
-ikiwiki 2.46 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[toggleable text="""
-   * amazon\_s3: New plugin, which injects wiki pages into Amazon S3, allowing
-     ikiwiki to be used without a dedicated web server.
-   * aggregate: Add support for web-based triggering of aggregation
-     for people stuck on shared hosting without cron. (Sheesh.) Enabled
-     via the `aggregate\_webtrigger` configuration optiom.
-   * Add pinger and pingee plugins, which allow setting up mirrors and branched
-     wikis that automatically ping one another to stay up to date.
-   * Optimised file statting code when scanning for modified pages;
-     cut the number of system calls in half. (Still room for improvement.)
-   * Fixes for behavior changes in perl 5.10's CGI that broke utf-8 support
-     in several interesting ways."""]]

+ikiwiki 2.51 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[toggleable text="""
+   * Improve toplevel parentlink to link directly to index.html when usedirs is
+     disabled.
+   * map: Add a "show" parameter. "show=title" can be used to display page
+     titles, rather than the default page name. Based on a patch from
+     Jaldhar H. Vyas, Closes: #[484510](http://bugs.debian.org/484510)
+   * hnb: New plugin, contributed by Axel Beckert.
+   * meta: Store "description" in pagestate for use by other plugins.
+   * map: Support show=description.
+   * textile: The Text::Textile perl module has some regexps that fail if
+     input is flagged as utf-8, but contains invalid characters such as 0x92.
+     To prevent it from crashing, re-encode the content before calling it,
+     which will ensure that it's really utf-8.
+   * Version the suggests of xapian-omega to a version known to be new enough
+     to work with ikiwiki. Reportedly, version 0.9.9 is too old to work.
+     Closes: #[486592](http://bugs.debian.org/486592)
+   * creole: New plugin from Bernd Zeimetz. Closes: #[486930](http://bugs.debian.org/486930)
+   * aggregate: Add template parameter.
+   * Add support for the universal edit button <http://universaleditbutton.org/>
+     (To get this on all pages of an exiting wiki, rebuild the wiki.)
+   * txt: New plugin, contributed by Gabriel McManus.
+   * smiley: Generate links relative to the destpage. (Fixes a reversion from
+     2.41.)
+   * toc: Revert change in 2.45 that made it run at sanitize time. That broke
+     use of toc in a sidebar.
+   * Call format hooks when generating page previews, thus fixing toc display
+     there, as well as fixing inlins to again display in page previews, since
+     it's started using format hooks. This also allows several other things,
+     like embed, that use format hooks, to work during page preview time.
+   * Format hooks should not rely on getting an entire html document, as they
+     will only get the body during page preview.
+   * toggle: Deal with preview mode when adding javascript."""]]
