If you have it on, turn it '''off''' if you can. + +== MediaWiki 1.20 == + +THIS IS NOT A RELEASE YET + +MediaWiki 1.20 is an alpha-quality branch and is not recommended for use in +production. + +=== Configuration changes in 1.20 === + +=== New features in 1.20 === + +=== Bug fixes in 1.20 === + +=== API changes in 1.20 === + +=== Languages updated in 1.20 === + +MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated +regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as +changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports. + +=== Other changes in 1.20 === + +== Compatibility == + +MediaWiki 1.20 requires PHP 5.2.3. PHP 4 is no longer supported. + +MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but +support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for IBM +DB2 and Oracle. + +The supported versions are: + +* MySQL 5.0.2 or later +* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later +* SQLite 3.3.7 or later +* Oracle 9.0.1 or later + +== Upgrading == + +1.20 has several database changes since 1.19, and will not work without schema +updates. + +As of 1.19 several JavaScript interfaces that were deprecated or superseeded in +MediaWiki 1.17, MediaWiki 1.16 or even earlier have been removed. They are +listed at the top of the "Other changes" list as a "BREAKING CHANGE". + +If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons +repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise +due to database schema changes. + +If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure +new database fields are filled with data. + +If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, some major database +changes are made, and there is a slightly higher chance that things could +break. Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading! + +See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions. + +For notes on 1.19.x and older releases, see HISTORY. + +== Online documentation == + +Documentation for both end-users and site administrators is available on +MediaWiki.org, and is covered under the GNU Free Documentation License (except +for pages that explicitly state that their contents are in the public domain): + + https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Documentation + +== Mailing list == + +A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion: + + https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l + +A low-traffic announcements-only list is also available: + + https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce + +It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're +going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes. + +== IRC help == + +There's usually someone online in #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net. diff --git a/includes/DefaultSettings.php b/includes/DefaultSettings.php index b6908966d4..02df6b72e8 100644 --- a/includes/DefaultSettings.php +++ b/includes/DefaultSettings.php @@ -33,7 +33,7 @@ $wgConf = new SiteConfiguration; /** @endcond */ /** MediaWiki version number */ -$wgVersion = '1.19alpha'; +$wgVersion = '1.20alpha'; /** Name of the site.
