* `$wgUsePathInfo = true;` is no longer needed to make $wgArticlePath work on servers
using like nginx, lighttpd, and apache over fastcgi. MediaWiki now always extracts
path info from REQUEST_URI if it's available.
+* The user right 'upload_by_url' is no longer given to sysops by default.
+ This only affects installations which have $wgAllowCopyUploads set to true.
=== New features in 1.20 ===
* Added TitleIsAlwaysKnown hook which gets called when determining if a page exists.
/**
* Allow for upload to be copied from an URL. Requires Special:Upload?source=web
* The timeout for copy uploads is set by $wgHTTPTimeout.
+* You have to assign the user right 'upload_by_url' to a user group, to use this.
