+ikiwiki 1.17 released with these changes:
+
+   * Disable tidy generator tag.
+   * Move tidy back to sanitize hook, found out how to only show body.
+   * Turn off tidy indentation too.
+   * Turn on HTML::Template loop\_context\_vars; not actually used in stock
+     templates but can be useful for things like making comma-delimited lists
+     of tags or what have you.
+   * Remove <br> from end of aggregate preprocessor directive output.
+   * Ship ikiwiki executable as ikiwiki.pl in source to avoid issues on
+     case-sensative filesystems like OSX.
+   * Improve markdown loading. First, try to load it as a proper perl module,
+     in case it was installed as one. Then fall back to trying
+     /usr/bin/markdown.
+   * Document in install page how to install markdown, since it has no
+     installation procedure in the upstream tarball.
+   * Set die\_on\_bad\_params => 0 for all templates, to allow users to modify
+     them without annoyances.
+   * Suck in the page content when generating an inline archive page, to work
+     around the meta plugin's lack of caching of title metadata across runs.
