-News for ikiwiki 2.49:
-
-   The search plugin no longer uses hyperestraier. Instead, to use it you
-   will now need to install xapian-omega, and the [[cpan Search::Xapian]],
-   [[cpan HTML::Scrubber]], and [[cpan Digest::SHA1]] perl modules. Ie,
-   `apt-get install xapian-omega libsearch-xapian-perl libhtml-scrubber-perl libdigest-sha1-perl`
-
-   Also, wikis that use the search plugin will need to be rebuilt, 
-   since the search form has changed. This will not be done automatically,
-   but can be done by running `ikiwiki-mass-upgrade` as root, or
-   running `ikiwiki -setup` on individual setup files.
-
-ikiwiki 2.49 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[toggleable text="""
-   * haiku: Generate valid xhtml.
-   * ikiwiki-mass-rebuild: Don't trust $! when setting $)
-   * inline: The optimisation in 2.41 broke nested inlines. Detect those
-     and avoid overoptimising.
-   * search: Converted to use xapian-omega.
-   * Filter hooks are no longer called during the scan phase. This will
-     prevent wikilinks added by filters from being scanned properly. But
-     no known filter hook does that, so let's not waste time on it.
-   * Pass a destpage parameter to the sanitize hook.
-   * The search interface now allows searching for a page by title
-     ("title:foo"), as well as for pages that contain a given link
-     ("link:bar")."""]]

+ikiwiki 2.54 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[toggleable text="""
+ * [ Joey Hess ]
+   * Make it possible to load setup files w/o running them. Code
+     needing to do so can call IkiWiki::Setup::load, which will return
+     a hash of values.
+ * [ Josh Triplett ]
+   * ikiwiki-transition: Fix command-line processing so the prefix\_directives
+     transition works again.
+ * [ Joey Hess ]
+   * template: Add support for a BASENAME variable.
+   * Fixes creation of pages when clicking on WikiLinks starting with "/".
+   * Change deb dependencies to list Text::Markdown before markdown, since
+     the former, while slower, has a much better html parser that avoids
+     numerous bugs.
+   * Move yesno function out of inline and into IkiWiki core, not exported.
+   * Error handling improvement for preprocess hooks. It's now safe to call
+     error() from such hooks; it will cause a nicely formatted error message
+     to be inserted into the page.
+   * Cut the size of the binary package in half by excluding pages for bugs
+     and todo items from the html shipped in it.
+   * parentlinks: New plugin, split out of ikiwiki core and enabled by default,
+     and several new fields added to allow for advanced styling. (intrigeri)
+   * smileys: Some fixes for escaped smileys.
+   * smileys: Note that smileys need to be double-escaped for the escaping to
+     work. Markdown removes one level of escaping.
+   * Add a postscan hook.
+   * search: Use postscan hook, avoid updating index when previewing.
+   * git: Put web committer name/openid/address in the git author field.
+     The committer's email address is not used (because leaking email addresses
+     is not liked by many users). Closes: #[451023](http://bugs.debian.org/451023)
+   * git: Fix parsing of git logs with no commit messages at all.
+   * search: Fixes for title stemming, and use better term for tags.
+     (Gabriel McManus)
+     (Rebuilding the wiki on upgrade to this version is recommended if you
+     use the search plugin.)
+ * [ Simon McVittie ]
+   * meta, inline: Support guid options, to allow forcing a particular url or
+     uuid in feeds.
+   * meta: fix title() PageSpec
+   * Some footer style changes.
+   * aggregate: Add an `aggregateinternal` option, which allows storing
+     aggregated data to internal-use files, rather than wiki pages. This
+     can save disk space, and be faster.
+   * ikiwiki-transition: Add a `aggregateinternal` transition to rename
+     the aggregated files."""]]
