-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."""]]

+News for ikiwiki 2.62:
+
+   TexImg standard preamble changed
+   The teximg plugin now has a configurable LaTeX preamble.
+   As part of this change the `mchem` LaTeX package has been removed from
+   the default LaTeX preamble as it wasn't included in many TeX installations.
+   The previous behaviour can be restored by adding the following to your
+   ikiwiki setup:
+         teximg\_prefix => '\documentclass{scrartcl}
+                 \usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
+                 \usepackage{amsmath}
+                 \usepackage{amsfonts}
+                 \usepackage{amssymb}
+                 \pagestyle{empty}
+                 \begin{document}',
+   In addition, the rendering mechanism has been changed to use `dvipng` by
+   default, if available.

+   * Avoid using cp -a (again). (HenrikBrixAndersen)
+   * Avoid using hostname -f for portability to eg, OS X, use Net::Domain
+     instead, and prompt if it fails.
+   * Fix bug in wikiname sanitisation in the setup automator.
+   * ikiwiki-makerepo: Added support for monotone. (Thomas Keller)
+   * map: The fix for #449285 was buggy and broke display of parents in certian
+     circumstances.
+   * teximg: The prefix is configurable, and has changed to not include the
+     nonstandard mhchem by default. (willu)
+   * teximg: dvipng is used if available to render images. Its output is
+     antialiased and better than dvips. If not available, the old dvips+convert
+     chain will be used. (willu)
+   * Drop suggests on texlive-science, add suggests on dvipng.
+   * listdirectives: New plugin. (willu)
+   * filecheck: New plugin factoring out the PageSpec additions that were
+     originally part of the attachment plugin.
+   * edittemplate: Don't wipe out edits on preview.
+   * color: New plugin from ptecza.
+   * autoindex: Avoid re-adding previously deleted (or renamed) pages."""]]
