**This release fixes an important security hole, upgrade immediately.**
News for ikiwiki 2.48:
If you allowed password based logins to your wiki, those passwords were
stored in cleartext in the userdb. To guard against exposing users'
passwords, I recommend you install the [[cpan Authen::Passphrase]] perl module, and
then run `ikiwiki-transition hashpassword /path/to/srcdir` to replace all
existing cleartext passwords with strong (blowfish) hashes.
ikiwiki 2.48 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]
[[toggleable text="""
* Fix security hole that occurred if openid and passwordauth were both
enabled. passwordauth would allow logging in as a known openid, with an
empty password. Closes: #[483770](http://bugs.debian.org/483770)
(CVE-2008-0169)
* Add rel=nofollow to edit links. This may prevent some spiders from
pounding on the cgi following edit links.
* passwordauth: If Authen::Passphrase is installed, use it to store
password hashes, crypted with Eksblowfish.
* `ikiwiki-transiition hashpassword /path/to/srcdir` can be used to
hash existing plaintext passwords.
* Passwords will no longer be mailed, but instead a password reset link.
* The password\_cost config setting is provided as a "more security" knob.
* teximg: Fix logurl.
* teximg: If the log isn't written, avoid ugly error messages.
* Updated French translation. Closes: #[478530](http://bugs.debian.org/478530)"""]]
