-ikiwiki (2.16) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
+ikiwiki (2.30) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  Ever feel that ikiwiki's handling of RecentChanges wasn't truely in the
+  spirit of a wiki compiler? Well, that's changed. The RecentChanges page is
+  now a static page, not a CGI. Users can subscribe to its rss/atom feeds.
+  Custom RecentChanges pages can be easily set up that display only changes
+  to a subset of pages, or only changes by a subset of users.
+  
+  All wikis need to be rebuilt on upgrade to this version. If you listed your
+  wiki in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist this will be done automatically when the
+  Debian package is upgraded. Or use ikiwiki-mass-rebuild to force a rebuild.
+
+  With this excellent new RecentChanges support, the mail notification system
+  is showing its age (and known to be variously buggy and underimplemented for
+  various VCSes), and so ikiwiki's support for sending commit mails is REMOVED
+  from this version. If you were subscribed to commit mails, you should be
+  able to accomplish the same thing by subscribing to a RecentChanges feed.
+
+  The "svnrepo" and "notify" fields in setup files are no longer used, and
+  silently ignored. You may want to remove them from your setup file.

+ikiwiki (2.20) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  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.

+ikiwiki (2.16) unstable; urgency=low
 
   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+  contain out of date calendars.
