-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.
+
+  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 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.
