+News for ikiwiki 2.60:
+
+   Admin preferences are moving from the web interface to the setup file.
+   There are three new options in the setup file: `locked\_pages`, `banned\_users`,
+   and `allowed\_attachments`. The admin prefs page can still be used, but
+   that's deprecated, and the prefs will be hidden if a value is not already
+   set. If a value is set in the web interface, you're encouraged to move that
+   setting to your setup file now, since version 3.0 will remove the deprecated
+   admin prefs web interface.
+   Also, the layout of the setup file has changed in a significant way in this
+   release. Old setup files will continue to work, but new features, like the
+   new websetup interface, require a new format setup file. You can convert
+   old setup files into the new format by running
+   `ikiwiki-transition setupformat ikiwiki.setup`
