-== Version 1.1.0, 2003-12-08 ==
-
-This is the new production release. Any following 1.1.x releases are expected
-to contain only bug fixes; developments of new features will go towards a 1.2.0
-release.
-
-New features in 1.1:
-* New wiki table syntax:
- http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide:_Using_tables
-* User-editable interface messages:
- http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_namespace
-* XML-wrapped page source export with optional history:
- http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_import_and_export
- (There is not yet an import function!)
-
-Fixes and tweaks:
-* linkscc table caches link data for rendering; faster rebuildlinks.php
-* Numerous bugs in Cologne Blue skin fixed

-* Contributions offset and minor edit bugs fixed
-* Whatlinkshere now sorted alphabetically
-* Various small bugs fixed.
+Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals
+setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.
-=== Database changes ===
-"linkscc" table added. If upgrading manually (rather than with update.php),
-run maintenance/archives/patch-linkscc.sql to create the table.
+*** COMMITTERS! Before 1.4 release, make sure 1.3.x release notes are
+*** up to date in the file HISTORY. Don't put 1.3 updates here please.
-Older releases were dated snapshots from the old 'stable' branch:
-
-== mediawiki-20031118 ==
+== MediaWiki 1.4 PRE-ALPHA ==
-* Image deletion fixed.
-* Deletion of image old revisions now restricted to sysops
- (this is an irreversible action and not well logged)
-* Fixed maintenance scripts broken by last release's security fix
-* Many errors in rebuildlinks script fixed.
+Major changes from 1.3.x:
+* (?) Support for table prefixes for better sharing with other web apps
+* (?) PostgreSQL support
+* Optional article validation voting features
+* 'Recentchanges Patrol' to mark new edits that haven't yet been viewed
+* Support for faster C++ diff module (WikiDiff extension)
+* More scary link caching modes
+* Old manually maintained log pages replaced with searchable Special:Log
+* Skins system more modular: templates and CSS are now in /skins/
+* New user preference for limitting the image size for images on image description
+ pages
+* Error pages no more offer edit / talk / watch links (bug #502)
+* Allow user to preview article on first edit (bug #530)
+* New dark background skin named Amethyst (thanks Sorwena and Sorkhiri)
+* [[RFC 1234]] will now make an internal link (bug #479)
+* PhpTal skins shown bogus 'What links here' etc on special pages (bug #511)
+* ... and more!
-== mediawiki-20031117 ==
+=== Caveats ===
-* SECURITY FIX: stricter checking of include path
-* Fixed user contributions next/prev bug
-* Login cookies now have the database name prefixed to allow wikis
- to coexist in the same domain. This will invalidate any old saved
- password cookies.
-* Update cache timestamp when talk pages are created
-* Saving the login form in Mozilla no longer blanks password in prefs.
-* Check existence of source page before performing a move.
-* Detect invalid titles in Special:Allpages
-* Q-encode headers on outgoing inter-user e-mail
-* Updates to some translations.
-* Added table of contents border/bg to Cologne Blue, Nostalgia skins
-* Protected pages no longer appear unprotected when visited via redirect
-* Swapped old Wikipedia logo for the MediaWiki sunflower logo
-* install.php, update.php print warning on old PHP versions,
- added compatibility functions that might or might not help
-
-No database changes since 20031107; upgrading should be clean.
+Some output, particularly involving user-supplied inline HTML, may not
+produce 100% valid or well-formed XHTML output. Testers are welcome to
+set $wgMimeType = "application/xhtml+xml"; to test for remaining problem
+cases, but this is not recommended on live sites. (This must be set for
+MathML to display properly in Mozilla.)
+The new 'MonoBook' skin is not compatible with PHP 5 due to bugs in the
+underlying PHPTAL library. It will be automatically disabled when running
+on PHP5; the older look and feel will be used instead.
-== mediawiki-20031107 ==
-* Fixed various bugs!
-* Some speed improvements from tweaks to the table indexes
-* Limited support for memcached (see below)
-* New translations (see below)
-* Interwiki link data now kept in database for flexibility
-* Friendlier read-only source view if asked to edit a page when
- the db is locked or the page is protected.
-* Normal IP blocks auto-expire after 24 hours
-* Optional support for blocking usernames
-* Uploads disabled by default (see below)
-
-
-=== Security note ===
-
-Uploads are now disabled by default. If you've set up a secure configuration
-you can reenable uploads by putting:
-
- $wgDisableUploads = false;
-
-into LocalSettings.php.
-
-Earlier versions of MediaWiki included a bug that potentially allows logged-
-in users to delete arbitrary files in directories writable by the web server
-user by manually feeding false form data; this is now fixed.
-
-As a reminder, disable PHP script execution in the upload directory!
-You may also wish to serve HTML pages as plaintext to prevent cookie-
-stealing JavaScript attacks. Example Apache config fragment:
-
- <Directory "/Library/MediaWiki/web/upload">
- # Ignore .htaccess files
- AllowOverride None
-
- # Serve HTML as plaintext
- AddType text/plain .html .htm .shtml
-
- # Don't run arbitrary PHP code.
- php_admin_flag engine off
-
- # If you've other scripting languages, disable them too.
- </Directory>
-
-
-=== Database updates ===
-
-If you're using update.php, the necessary database changes should
-be made automatically.
-
-To manually upgrade your database from the 2003-08-29 release, run the
-following SQL scripts from the maintenance subdirectory:
-
- archives/patch-ipblocks.sql
- archives/patch-interwiki.sql
- archives/patch-indexes.sql
- interwiki.sql
-
-To copy in the Wikipedia language-prefix interwikis as well, add:
-
- wikipedia-interwiki.sql
-
-
-=== Translations ===
-
-New interface localization files are included for:
- fy Frisian
- ro Romanian
- sl Slovene
- sq Albanian
- sr Serbian
-
-
-=== Memcached ===
-
-Memcached is a distributed cache system. See http://www.danga.com/memcached/
-MediaWiki can optionally use memcached to store some data between calls
-to reduce load on the database. Currently this is limited to user and
-talk page notification data, interwiki prefix/URL matches, and the
-UTF-8 conversion tables.
-
-MediaWiki includes version 1.0.10 of the (GPL'd) PHP memcached client by
-Ryan Gilfether; if memcached is disabled it acts as a dummy object with
-minimal overhead.
-
-To use memcached you'll need PHP installed with sockets support (this is not
-in the default configure options). See docs/memcached for some more details.
-
-Additionally, you can store login session data in memcached instead of the
-local filesystem, which can help to enable load-balancing by letting login
-sessions transparently work on multiple front-end web servers. (The primary
-other issue is with uploads, which requires some care in handling.)
-
-To enable this, set $wgSessionsInMemcached = true; and set $wgCookieDomain
-appropriately if exposing multiple hostnames. This system is new and may be
-volatile; login sessions will fail dramatically if memcached is unavailable
-when this option is turned on.

-=== UseModWiki import script ===
-
-A stripped-down UseModWiki import script is available in the maintenance
-subdirectory. It is incomplete and requires a lot of manual clean-up, but
-does function for the brave and pure of heart.

-
-=== Test suite removed ===
-
-The unmaintained Java-based test suite has been removed from the tarball
-release. If you really want it you can check it out from CVS.
