1 = MediaWiki release notes =
2
3 Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals
4 setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.
5
6 == MediaWiki 1.11 ==
7
8 THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET.
9
10 MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
11 quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
12 "ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
13
14 Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
15 from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments
16 will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
17
18 Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
19 it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
20
21 == Configuration changes since 1.10 ==
22
23 * $wgThumbUpright - Adjust width of upright images when parameter 'upright' is
24 used

26 usergroups

28 * $wgShowHostnames - Expose server host names through the API and HTML comments
29 * $wgSaveDeletedFiles has been removed, the feature is now enabled unconditionally
30
31 == New features since 1.10 ==
32

44 related to landscape images on a page without nailing the width of upright
45 images to a fix value which makes views for anon unproportional and user
46 preferences useless
47 * (bug 6072) Introducing 'border' keyword to the [[Image:]] syntax
48 * Introducing 'frameless' keyword to [[Image:]] syntax which respects the

505 == Compatibility ==
506
507 MediaWiki 1.11 requires PHP 5 (5.1 recommended). PHP 4 is no longer supported.
508
509 PHP 5.0.x fails on 64-bit systems due to serious bugs with array processing:
510 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879
511 Upgrade affected systems to PHP 5.1 or higher.
512
513 MySQL 3.23.x is no longer supported; some older hosts may need to upgrade.
514 At this time we still recommend 4.0, but 4.1/5.0 will work fine in most cases.
515
516
517 == Upgrading ==
518
519 1.11 has several database changes since 1.10, and will not work without schema
520 updates.
521
522 If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
523 new database fields are filled with data.
524
525 If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database
526 changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could
527 break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
528
529 See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
530
531 === Caveats ===
532
533 Some output, particularly involving user-supplied inline HTML, may not
534 produce 100% valid or well-formed XHTML output. Testers are welcome to
535 set $wgMimeType = "application/xhtml+xml"; to test for remaining problem
536 cases, but this is not recommended on live sites. (This must be set for
537 MathML to display properly in Mozilla.)

543 === Online documentation ===
544
545 Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is currently being
546 built up on MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation
547 License (except for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in
548 the public domain) :

551
552
553 === Mailing list ===
554
555 A MediaWiki-l mailing list has been set up distinct from the Wikipedia
556 wikitech-l list:
557
558 http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
559
560 A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available:
561
562 http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce
563
564 It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
565 going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.

568 === IRC help ===
