+== Version 1.2.0rc1, 2004-02-28 ==
This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE for the new production release. It is more or
less in sync with what is running on Wikipedia right now. There may be
* Optional compression of old revision text (requires zlib support)
* Fuzzy title search (experimental, requires memcached)
* Page rendering cache (experimental)
-* JavaScript editing toolbar (off by default in user preferences)
+* Editing toolbar to demonstrate wiki syntax to newbies
+ (off by default in user preferences)
+* Support for authenticated SMTP outgoing e-mail (experimental)
Fixes and tweaks:
* Should work out of the box on MySQL 3.2.x again. On 4.x set
$wgEnablePersistentLC = true; to turn on the link cache table
for a slight rendering speed boost.
+* Works with short tags disabled.
* Various bug fixes.
* Other stuff we forgot.
* Documentation more out of date than ever before!
-=== IMPORTANT BEHAVIOR CHANGES: ===
+=== Behavior changes ===
-* wiki.phtml and redirect.phtml are now installed as index.php and redirect.php
- by default. If you are upgrading from an older version, you will have to
- change $wgScript in LocalSettings.php to point to index.php and
- redirect.php.
+* wiki.phtml and redirect.phtml are now renamed to index.php and redirect.php
+ The old names are provided too for compatibility, but make sure they don't
+ conflict if you've been putting other files in your wiki.
+* Uploaded filenames are more strictly checked than before. See bits in
+ DefaultSettings.php to tweak this behavior to your needs.
+* Database messages are now enabled by default, so the interface messages can
+ be tweaked through the wiki with a sysop account. Disable this if you
+ don't want the performance hit.
