+v10.1.0
+=======

+-  Previously, we ``--clean-final`` would cause an unpaper-cleaned page image to
+   be produced twice, which was necessary in some cases but not in general. We
+   now take this optimization opportunity and reuse the image if possible.
+-  We now provide PNG files as input to unpaper, since it accepts them, instead
+   of generating PPM files which can be very large. This can improve performance
+   and temporary disk usage.
+-  Documentation updated for plugins.
