Among other changes, note that Latin-1 encoding (ISO-8859-1) is
no longer supported. Latin-1 wikis will need to be upgraded to
-UTF-8, however the updater has not yet been updated to support
-this automatically.
+UTF-8; an experimental command-line upgrade helper script,
+'upgrade1_5.php', can do this -- run it prior to 'update.php' or
+the web upgrader.
+
+If you absolutely cannot make the UTF-8 upgrade work, you can try
+doing it by hand: dump your old database, convert the dump file
+using iconv as described here:
+http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/jbartsh_utf-8.html
+and then reimport it. You can also convert filenames using convmv,
+but note that the old directory hashes will no longer be valid,
+so you will also have to move them to new destinations.
Message changes:
* A number of additional UI messages have been chagned from HTML to
key in $wgGroupPermissions. To emulate the old effect of setting:
$wgWhitelistAccount['user'] = 0;
set:
- $wgGroupPermissions['*'] = array( 'read' ); // without createaccount
+ $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
-If $wgWhitelistRead is set, things need to be funked around. This needs work.
+$wgWhitelistEdit has been replaced by the 'edit' permission key.
+To emulate the old effect of setting:
+ $wgWhitelistEdit = true;
+set:
+ $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
+
+If $wgWhitelistRead is set, you must also disable the 'read' permission
+for it to take affect on anonymous users:
+ $wgWhitelistRead = array( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin" );
+ $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
+
+Note that you can disable/enable several other permissions by modifying
+this configuration array in your LocalSettings.php; see DefaultSettings.php
+for the complete default permission set.
-bla bla bla
+If using Memcached, you must enabled it differently now:
+ $wgUseMemCached = true;
+should be replaced with:
+ $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED;
