+
+  ikiwiki now has an new syntax for preprocessor directives, using the
+  prefix '!':
+
+  [[!directive ...]]
+
+  This new syntax no longer relies on spaces to distinguish between
+  wikilinks and preprocessor directives.  Thus, wikilinks can use spaces
+  in their link text, and preprocessor directives without arguments (such
+  as "toc") need not use a trailing space.
+
+  To enable the new syntax, set prefix_directives to true in your ikiwiki
+  config.  For backward compatibility with existing wikis,
+  prefix_directives currently defaults to false.  In ikiwiki 3.0,
+  prefix_directives will default to true, and wikis which have not yet
+  converted to the new syntax will need to set prefix_directives to false
+  in their setup files.
+
+  To convert your wiki to the new syntax, ikiwiki provides a new script
+  ikiwiki-prefix-directives.  It will convert preprocessor directives in
+  all files given on the command line.  To convert an entire wiki:
+
+  find wikidir/ -type f -name '*.mdwn' -print0 | xargs -0 ikiwiki-prefix-directives
+
+  Even with prefix_directives disabled, ikiwiki now allows an optional '!'
+  prefix on preprocessor directives (but still requires a space).  Thus, a
+  directive which uses a '!' prefix and contains a space will work with
+  ikiwiki 2.21 and newer, regardless of the value of prefix_directives.
+  This allows the underlay to work with all ikiwikis.

+
+  The template plugin has begin to htmlize the variables passed to templates.
+  This is normally what you want, but to get the old behavior and get at the
+  raw value, you can use `<TMPL_VAR raw_variable>` in a template.

   Many of the pages in ikiwiki's basewiki have been moved and renamed in this
   release, to avoid the basewiki including pages with names like "blog".
   Redirection pages have been left behind for these moved pages temporarily,
   and will be removed later.
 
+  If you use the calendar plugin, ikiwiki is now smarter and your nightly
+  cron job to update the wiki doesn't need to rebuild everything. Just pass
+  --refresh to ikiwiki in the cron job and it will update only pages that
+  contain out of date calendars.
