I haven't made a release announcement since beta24/beta25 on 
January 22, so here's a summary of important changes since 
that release.  Check the ChangeLog and ReleaseNotes for more details.

* When using blocklists, PmWiki now checks all posted fields
  for blocked phrases.  Previously PmWiki would only check the
  the main text for pages.

* PmWiki nows uses $PagePathFmt to determine the name of
  a home page for groups that do not have one.  The default
  continues to be the name of the group.  However, setting

    $PagePathFmt = array('{$Group}.$1', '$1.{$DefaultName}', '$1.$1');

  will cause PmWiki to use $DefaultName (e.g., "HomePage") instead.

* Numerous UTF-8 fixes have been incorporated:
  + Spaced titles and wikiwords now work in utf-8
  + PmWiki provides an appropriate <meta> tag for utf-8 output
  + Corrected the suffix pattern for utf-8 links

* The (:if:) directive now allows (:elseif:) and (:else:) components
  to provide alternate markup when a condition is false.  
  Note that (:if:) directives still do not nest, however.

* There is an experimental caching system for pagelists.  To
  enable it, set $PageListCacheDir to the name of a writable
  directory (e.g., work.d/) .  It's not recommended to use wiki.d/
  for this purpose.

* Fixed markup handling for (:input default:) and (:input select:)
  in forms.

* Loading authuser.php no longer calls ResolvePageName().  This
  should eliminate some redirect surprises.

* A couple of minor bugs in handling page text variables have been
  fixed.

* Using Active Directory for authentication is simplified --
  now an administrator simply specifies "ldap://servername/" to
  authenticate against Active Directory.
