+News for ikiwiki 2.14:
+
+   This version of ikiwiki is more picky about symlinks in the path leading
+   to the srcdir, and will refuse to use a srcdir specified by such a path.
+   This  was necessary to avoid some potential exploits, but could potentially
+   break (semi-)working wikis. If your wiki has a srcdir path containing a
+   symlink, you should change it to use a path that does not.
+
+ikiwiki 2.14 released with [[toggle text="these changes"]]

+   * Let CC be used to control what compiler is used to build wrappers.
+   * Use 'cc' instead of gcc as the default compiler.
+   * Security fix: Ensure that there are no symlinks anywhere in the path
+     to the top of the srcdir. In certian unusual configurations, an attacker
+     who could commit to one of the parent directories of the srcdir could
+     use a symlink attack to cause ikiwiki to publish files elsewhere in the
+     filesystem. More details at <http://ikiwiki.info/security/#index29h2>"""]]
