<h2>Changes for Version 2.8 (pending)</h2>

  *  Show cherry-pick merges as dotted lines on the timeline graph.
     &rarr; The "fossil rebuild" command must be run to create and
     populate the new "cherrypick" table in the repository in order 
     for this feature to operate.
  *  Add the ability to associate branches, check-ins, and tags with
     specially-named Wiki pages. This gives the ability to better
     document branches and tags, and provide more documentation on
     check-ins beyond the check-in comment.  The associated Wiki is
     automatically displayed on /info pages for check-ins, and on
     /timeline?r=BRANCH and /timeline?t=TAG pages for branches and 
     tags. This feature is on by default, but can be disabled in on
     the Admin/Wiki page.
  *  Enhance the repository list page (shown for example by
     "fossil all ui") so that it shows the name and last check-in
     time for each project.  The implementation of the repository
     list page is now broken out into a separate source file (repolist.c).
  *  Allow users with Forum Supervisor permission ('6') to add Forum
     Write Trusted permission ('4') to users as they are approving a
     forum post by that user.
  *  When running a bisect, report the number of check-ins still in
     the search range and the estimated number of bisect steps remaining.
     Do this at each step of the bisect.
  *  Make the chronological forum display feature available to all users,
     and make it the default format on mobile devices.
  *  Break out Wiki setup into a separate /setup_wiki page, accessible
     on the standard menus through Admin/Wiki.
  *  Add "Next" and "Previous" buttons on the /wdiff page, allowing
     the user to step through the versions of a wiki page.
  *  Improve the display of the /whistory page.
  *  Enhance /wcontent to show a sortable list of Wiki pages together
     with the number of revisions and the most recent change time for
     each page.
  *  Hyperlinks to Wiki pages on the /timeline go to the specific
     version of the Wiki page named in the timeline, not to the latest
     version.
  *  Enhancements to the "amend", "tag", and "reparent" commands, including
     adding options --override-date, --override-user, and --dry-run.
  *  On the /setup_ucap_list, show administrators how many users have
     each capability.  The counts are a hyperlink to the /setup_ulist
     page showing the subset of users that have that capability.
  *  "Compress" the built-in javascript by omitting comments and
     leading and trailing whitespace.
  *  Add the backoffice-disable setting to completely disable the
     backoffice feature.
  *  Update the built-in SQLite to version 3.26.0.
  *  Various other small enhancements to webpages and documentation.

<h2>Changes for Version 2.7 (2018-09-22)</h2>

  *  Add the [./alerts.md|email alerts] feature for commits, ticket
     changes, wiki changes, forum posts, and announcements.  This is
     still a work in progress.  It is functional, but it is not as easy to
