-ikiwiki 1.11 is released.
-
-There are some changes to tags in this release, due to a new tag plugin. If you have
-been using the meta plugin to tag pages, you'll want to enable the tag
-plugin too, and change things like this:
-
-    \[[meta link="foobar"]]
-
-To this:
-
-    \[[tag foobar]]
-
-The new tags will appear at page footers, and are also easier to type.
-
-Full list of changes:
-
-   * Patch from Enrico that
-     - Adds a tag plugin that allows more easily tagging pages.
-       The meta plugin can also still be used for that, but the tag plugin
-       also lists a page's tags at the bottom of the page.
-     - Allows preprocessor directives to have parameters with no specified
-       value.
-     - Fixes preprocessor directive parameter parsing so that
-       foo=bar baz now means "foo=bar" and a "baz" with no value.
-   * Run pagetemplate hooks when inlining pages so that inlined pages also
-     list their tags.
-   * Make all plugins with pagetemplate hooks check that variables exist
-     on the template before setting them, for robustness.
-   * Switch pagetemplate hooks to using named parameters.
-   * Pass a destpage parameter to preprocessor and pagetemplate hooks.
-     This will be the page that a source page will be part of, which is
-     different than the source page for inlined pages.
-   * Audited all plugins to endure they pass (page, destpage) to htmllink
-     appropriatly. This means inlining of various plugins will not work
-     properly, with correct links generated.

+ikiwiki 1.12 released with these changes:
+
+   "Viva l'Italia!"
+   * New pagestats plugin from Enrico, which can generate a table counting
+     the backlinks for each page, or a del.icio.us style cloud.
+   * Build-depend on libtext-wikiformat-perl, so that the syntax check of
+     the wikiformat plugin works. Thanks, Emanuele Aina.
+   * Patch from Alessandro Dotti Contra to clean up backlinks and navbar
+     display, running them through pagetitle. This removes ugly underscores and
+     other gunk from the display, much nicer. You may want to rebuild your wiki
+     when upgrading to get the cleanup globally.
+   * Polygen plugin from Enrico.
+   * htmltidy plugin from Faidon.
+   * Locale patch from Faidon:
+     - Adds a locale setting to setup files.
+     - Proper local time, if the locale configuration option is used.
+     - Support for UTF-8 (or ISO-8859-X) filenames in SVN. Before this patch,
+       commiting (or even rcs\_updating) on repositories with UTF-8 filenames was
+       impossible.
+   * Add getopt hook type, this allows plugins to add new command-line options.
+   * Add --tagbase option to tag plugin.
+   * Add exclude option in setup files, works same as --exclude.
+   * Put categories in rss feeds for tagged items.
+   * Allow preprocessor directives to be expanded in inlined blog pages.
+     However, to avoid inlining loops etc, don't expand inline directives in
+     inlined pages.
+   * fortune plugin (trivial)
+   * Tag plugins according to type.
